Flying Kitten Has
Its Own Parachute

Pittsburgh.-Birdie, the flying kit
ten mascot of Kenneth Curley Love
joy, air mail pilot, never goes up for
a flight without her own little para
chute.
Birdie is a general favorite with
all the flyers at Belts field, Pitts
burgh's airport. Lovejoy explained
that he selected her as a mascot be-
cause she had a jet black nose, "and
you know that's sure good luck"
The kitten seemed to enjoy her
first flight SO, Lovejoy decided to take
her along regularly. The code of the
air, however, calls for all occupants
Of a ship to have parachutes, and
when it's impossible for all to have
the safety devices, then no one on the
plane wears one.
Lovejoy had his regular parachute,
50 he decided that Birdie must have
one, and he manufactured a small
sized parachute for the kitten. She
is taken with the pilot on virtually
all Of his air voyages, whether with
mail or passengers, and on each trip
She wears her emergency landing gear
strapped to her back.

going to be all set, and Birdie Is
