AIRMEN HAVE l.l'I KY
IMECES FOR FLYING
LONDON, Oct. 22. It ia an estab
lished practice among airmen to car
ry mascots and chnrms or keepsakes.
There is an English liojt who never
goes up without a scrap ol brightly
colored cloth from "Somebody's" dresa
nnd ninny a rombnt pilot who looks
nbsoliitely immune from such little
weaknesses will not go up without a
bit of jiule, a halfpenny with a hole
in the middle, a white mouse any
thing serves. If it Is suspected of
potency thnt will avert the dreaded
"crash" and thnt heart-chilling offic
ial announcement "One of our ma
chines failed to return."
