Thomson, student pilot at Kelly field and Jose Maria Ramos, 11-year-old Mexican boy, chop PinfT cotton in a field, were instantly killed near here this afternoon when two airplanes collided 1,300 feet in the air and fell to earth. Lieutenant VV. W. White, piloting one of the planes , leaped to safety with a parachute. The Mexican boy, paralyzed by fear, was unable to escape from the downward path of the falling planes and was crushed beneath the wreck age. Three ships were flying in forma tion. They were about two and a half miles north of Kelly field. Ship num ber two and ship number three in the formation started to change places. The ships, flying at the rate of 100 miles an hour, crashed into each other tearing wings and struts asunder. Hanging together they both began to fall. The leading pilot, seeing the tragedy taking place behind him was helpless. < Lieutenant White, realizing that death was near unless he escaped, climbed from the fuselage. When the air was clear below him, he leaped far out from the ship. His body fell much more rapidly than the tangled ships and when he was clear from the falling wrecks, he let the silk para chute go and maneuvered it to keep out of the Way. In a few seconds the hurling mass shot by him toward the ground. The boy, Ramos, chopping cotton in the field, watched the acci dent in the air spell-bound, until he saw the plane falling above him. He tried to get out of the way, but it struck him and buried him beneath the wreckage, crushing the life from him. Aviators believe that Lieutenant Thomson was knocked unconscious by the co.lision in the air.

Unfortunately, the young man of twenty who calmly accepts the precepts of more experienced heads might be termed' a “rara avis in terris”—which translates lit erally into our modern-day colloquialism —“a rare bird on earth.” There is no more faithful friends cn earth to a man than his savings account to which he has been faithful for many years. To the young man of twenty we will make this statement: Begin now and pay into your saving ac count with this bank $33.14 each month until you are sixty-five years old. During that time you will have deposited $17,895.60. And This Bank Will Have Added To That Nearly Twice As Much More—$32,104.40 T,h,e amount payable to you, at 65, wdl be $50,000. It is very much worthwhile, young man, if you can see it. The time will pass; the money will be spent—either into a savings account, or elsewhere. But if your money goes out in ordinary expenditures, you will have only about one-third as much to spend. THE FIRST NATIONAL BANK OF SHELBY Capital and Surplus $500,000.00.
