NEW YORK, March 2.--Probaby the
most superstitious people in the world
are aviators. They believe uaquestion-
| ably in luck, and have implicit faith in
| masCots and luck tokens One of the
worst calamities in an aviator's life is
the loss of his lucky charm or mascot,
! for such an event Is regarded as a grim
| foreshadowing of accident or serious
disaster. There may be some airmen
who do not believe this but the vast
majority do.

There was a brief silence after this,
and then another eX-war aviator asked
the others if they remembered Bill, who

Congressman
Save Grazing
FRENCH AND SMITH OF IDAHO
TAKE PROMINENT PART IN
IMPORTANT WORK

Washington, ID. c. Through the
efforts of Congressman French ana
Smith, of Idaho, Hayden of Arizona
and Hernandez of New Mexico, the
provision of the agricultural appro-
priation bill, providing for wiping
out leases and permits for grazing
privileges at the beginning of the
fiscal year, 1921, on forest reserves
was stricken from the bill
Congressman French pointed out
1 that there We're thousands of per-
sons to whom permits had been
granted, who were using the forest
reserves and paying the government
grazing fees that amounted last
year to more than $2,6O0,00O.
He said that practically 10000
people had permits from the gov
eminent for grazing cattle, horses,
swine, sheep and goats on the for
est reserves; that Idaho stands first
in the list of sheep being grazed
on forest reserves, the total number
being 1,75S,877 head of sheep and
permits have been issued to 1893
persons.
He pointed out that Idaho stands
second in the number OF horses
grazed on forest reserves, the total
number being 1894 last year, and
Idaho stands fourth in the number
of cattle graZed on forest reserves,
the number for last year being
| 190,608.
He said that in Idaho alone more
than $500 permits have been is
sued and most of these permits
have 2 or 8 years within which to
run.
He pointed out that it is unfair
to any business to violate a con-
tract upon which the business rests
and that these permits, which were
issued for period of five years,
should not be allowed to be arDi-
/ trarily broken, but should continue
! until the expiration of the permit.
He said that credits have been es-
| tablished at banks and all arrange
ments have been made and that it
would be unfair to break the terms
of the permit rights until the end
of the period for which it has been
issued.

o. P. HENDERSON, ACQUITTED
Quick Result After Brief Testimony
in Manslaughter Case

Boise, Idaho, Feb. 17.-At 9:45
o'clock tonight, jury in the dis
trict court returned a verdict of not
guilty in the case of o. P. Hender-
shot. state fair secretary, charged
with manslaughter as the result OF
the death last fall of Michael Nor
ris who had a tent show at the fair
last fall and who was struck by
Henderson, in an alteration when
Morris declined to permit state
constable to enter the show to see
whether the program was of an
immoral caste forbidden on the
grounds.
The states case was closed dur
ing the day. The defense at the
conclusion of brief testimony sub
mitted it's case without argument
to the jury.
The testimony of the defens"
tended to show that it was not thn
blow that killed Morris, the man
having been suffering from dis
eased lesion. A strong point made
by the defense was that in every
Tease known to the medical profes-
sion in hemorrhage cases, the hem
orhage can be determined within
seven days, whereas in the case OF
| Morris It was not until IL day
that physicians could detect 1t
The defense also showed that Mr.
Henderson, had not pressed the
alteration but was simply through
out the matter endeavoring tC
exercise his duties as secretary
with Morris assuming an antago
nistic attitude.
| 1t has been the general view OF
the public that the acquittal yer
diet would result from the tria
land so the verdict tonight was nj
| surprise. Mr.. Henderson, was rep
resented at the trial by Attorne!
