NEW SOCKS TO DIE IN.
A well-known French airman is telling an amusing story of a young pupil of his who was alwiays short of money. When he was about to make the qualifying flights for his pilot's certificate the young man said to his instructor, "I saw in your dressing-room just now a pair of new socks. Would you mind lending them to me? Mine are full of holes. I cannot afford a new pair, and in case I have a smash this mo'rniftg I should not like the commission of the Aero Club to see them when they begin to take my clothes off."-
