Tossing their hats in the ocean
for luck was adopted ns one of

of wind snatched the chapcaii of
a recruit while he was crossing

Ihe MnrineN training camp. Tin
"lid" sailed gracefully out into

Taking the accident as n cue
"just for luck," Ihe remainder of
Ihe recruits immediately sailed
their hats out inlo tin1 deep and
Ihe hay was soon dolled with
It ii ml itils of straw hats.
The boys "passed the word"
and now no recruit, can expect to
have good luck unless he has
cast his hat iijon the receding
