BOY IN FIELD IS
xSan AnLonio, Tex., June 5.—Lieu
tenant Stewart L. 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.

Something Every Young
Man Ought To Know
.. 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.
