FOOLISH STUNT COSTS LIVES. Hoy and Girl Dead, l?ilot Dying. After Plane Craah. Memphis, Tenu., Sept. 6.- Youth paid dearly for its inexperience her? today and Mias Huth Greer, 17, and Knnia Douglas*, 17, are d?a<l, while Frank Hays, student aviator, lies at the point of death in a hospital. Hays violated instructions, took his two friends for an air ride ami the ship, borrowed while its pilot was not looking, crashed near Park field. Miss Greer lived in Woodward, Okla., and was en route to Birmingham, Ala., where she had matriculated in Birmingham-Southern college. Douglass was a high school student here. Miss Greer stopped here for a few days to visit the Douglass family and begged Knnis to take her on her first air ride* Ennis' friend Hays, who hud ten hours solo work but still was not permitted to carry passengers, agreed to get them a ride. He asked W. E. Thomas, chief pilot for the Valley Air lines, to take them up. Thomas Agreed and walked into a hanger. When he disappeared Hays, Miss GTeer and Douglass jumped into his plane and were off. Thomas immediately tfbtftfzed the danger and followed to signal Hays to land. He witnessed the tragedy. When Hays got the ship up about 600 feet he went into a vertical bank?-easy for experienced pilots but quite a stunt for a student flier with a heavy load. Thomas said the ship stalled, hung motionless for a moment and then fell.

Struck down from the sky by a bolt of lightning and lying in an arid desert among the gaunt barren moun- j taiim of Black Tom Valley, the Transcontinental Air Transport air liner City of San Francisco, was found last night with her company of eight persons dead. The finding of the wrecked plane followed a day of searching of the vast desert which more than twenty five plane* were engaged. The place where the ship was found is about 25 miles south of Gallup, N. M., an area of practically all volcanic formation and has been considered one 6f the worst places to fly over in the country, The place is near the Zuni Indian reservation where recent explorations and excavations have disclosed many prehistoric relics and it is not far from the Navajo Indian reservation. There was not much in the wreck to telJ the story of the disaster; which overtook the happy argonauts of the n ir who had set forth in the tri-motored Ford liner to the Golden West, only to end in that desolation. Kvidences of the lightning bolt were there, but further details, if any could be gained from the broken thing amid the rocks, were withheld by the officials of the Transcontinental Airport, Who ordered newspaper men off the field, and gave out the barest and most uneommittal bulletin confirming the wreck. The position in which the ship was downed, however, indicates something. Stowe, who was one of the ablest pilots of the service, and who has shown great resourcefulness on other occasions, left Albuqurque yesterday noon und headed to the west into a region which was developing terntfic electrical storms. The wrdck of the City of San Francisco is the first loss of life occurring on the line. The service was inaugurated July K by Col. Charles A. Lindbergh and the company has carried over 1,500 passengers since that date, it was announced tonight by representatives of the line. The Meanest Thief The person or persons who stole the nozzle tips from the town fire hose reels is entitled to the distinction of Chesterfield's meanest thief. It is presumed that these tips were stolen for what they would bring as scrap metal. The thief crippled completely, for the time being,"the town's fire-fighting equipment. Should a serious fire have broken but before this loss had been discovered and made good there is no telling how great the loss might have been.?Chesterfield Advertiser. Mechanical Cotton I'ickcr.

Angeles, Sept. 7.?Hating from h storm, the monoplane City of San Francisco crashed into the side of a 10,000 foot mountain and burned last Tuesday in the moat deeolate section of central New Mexico, with death to its human cargo Of one woman and seven men, advices to the Transcontinental Air Transport company here today indicated. The wreckage of the big tri-motor all-metal air liner, a twisted mass of metal, was discovered on the south slope of Mount Taylor at 11:03 o'clock this morning by a western air express eustbound passenger plan#. Lieutenant George K. Rice, pilot of the Western Air Kxpress transport, which had four passengers and was bound from I>os Angeles to Albuquerque, made the discovery. He first noticed what appeared to be a bit of snow on the south side of the 10,000 foot mountain. He swerved his big Fokker monoplane around and zoomed down to vyithin a thousand feet. There the appalling sight of twisted burned metal, and a circle of burned trees that surrounded it revealed U> Lieut. Rice, his co-pilot, and the four passengers. Thrice did Lieut. Rice circle the trgic scene. It is one of the most rugged sections of the wild west. Not only were there no landing possibilij ties in the vicinity, but there were no | roads leading to the scene and even passage by horse appeared to be impossible. No sign of any living thing was found near the wreckage. The trained eyes of Lieut. Rice, who was a World war flier, instantly revealed to him, the tragedy. Knowing that the plane had circled Grants, N. M., Tuesday just about noon, and (this scene being to the northeast, it was apparent that Pilot J. B. Q. Stowc, of the City of San Francisco, was racing back towards Albuquerque to avoid the storms which held other air (transports to the ground on that fatal day, The City of San Francisco left Albuquerque on Tuesday morning, in face of adverse weather, hoping to get through to Los Angeles that afternoon. The passengers aboard were: Mrs. Corina Raymond, wife of George B. Raymond, of Glendale, Cal., a clerk of the Transcontinental Air Transport, Inc., owners of the City of San Francisco. Amasu B. McGaffey, wealthy lumberman of Albuquerque, N. M., William Livermore, prominent shipping man of Boston, Mass. M. M. Campbell, of Cincinnati, paper concern salesmanager. William Henry Beer*, New York, golf magazine editor. Members of the crew were: J. B. Q. Stowe, chief pilot of Clovis, New Mexico; Kdwin A. I betel, co-pilot, of New Braunt'els. Texas; C.

There were 200 passengers on board. Many were in the cabins when the disaster suddenly occurred and it was believed that the heavy death toll resulted from the inability of these to get on deck when the fore part of the vessel suddenly dipped into the sea.

NATURE SMILEB ON 8CUTH Crop Yields Promise Better Than in North Bays Federal Survey Washington, Sept. 2.?The department of agriculture announced today that the indicated yield of principal crops with last year'a is smaller, corn, wheat oats, potatoes and fruits compared with last year's, while the major crops of the South probably will produce, larger yields than in 192*. The indicated composite yield of 34 principal crops, the department says, will be about 5 per cent below 192* and slightly below the ten year average. The leading crops of the North, com, wheat, oats, potatoes and fruite were said to show indications of smaller harvests than last year., Southern staple crops, cotton, tobacco and sweet potatoes, are expected to register yields greater than a year ago. Favorable weather, plus "hastening influences' of the 'combine,' " has brought grain to Markets in heavy volume, the department reports. Several of the staple fruit and vegetable crops promise reduced supplier and are accordingly selling at higher prices, the department says, with potatoes included in the latter category. The report said generally higher prices for fruits obtained, particularly apples, which were selling about twice as high as last season. Beef cattle prospects were held to be favorable to producers, the expectation being that cattle movement to market will be about the same a3 last year. No marked change in the general dai -y situation was observed. I Tells of Texas Cotton Crop. Newberry. September 7.?W. Smith Lan^f'O tl. a former Newberrian, but wh<- has been living in Texas for tin- past Id years, is a visitor in New hen y this week. Mr. Langfoi ; commenting on cotton crop in Te\a>, said the crop would be short on account, of the hot, dry peri".! which has caused it to "burn up" during the past two weeks. Mr. Langford is an oil promoter and also is manager of the Ford agencies in several large cities in Te xas. He stated that the past month was the dullest he ever experienced during his sojourn in Texas. Cat Adopts Infant Squirrels Edgefield, Sept. 9.?An Edgefield cat evidently thinks her "kittens" are different from any she ever saw before. For they are not kittens at all, but squirrels. A few weeks ago the cat's kittens died, and about that time- the young boy of the home brought in three tiny squirrels whose eyes had not opened and who may (or may not) have been bereft of parents. The disconsolate mother cat at once adopted the squirrels and seems to find pleasure in caring for them as her own, although she may find them slightly unruly when she attempts to give them their daily ablutions. The mother cat belongs to 'Mrs. Maggie T. Hill. Clarence Bailey, 18 year old high school youth, was shot and killed near Ashland, Ala., Sunday by deputy sheriff Cecil Guthrie while the youth was fleeing in a pasture. Bailey was wanted on a prohibition violation charge. The officer states be shot twice in the air and then stumbled and fell and that the shot that killed the lad was an accident.
