of his time until he lays down his
high office at the general assem

t roiiimuniration Restored
Late todava field telephone was
aid at the end of the San Angelo
i"phone company's wire five
viles from here, and the Associ-
4
ated Press through the San Angelo
Standard, opened, up the first di
rect communication.' The first
message was .from Assistant Ad
jutant General Nichols who asked
whether rangers or national
guardsmen were needed. General
Nichols -said he would be guided
by Associated Press reports of the
disaster in determining whether to
move state troops.
The; lobby of the First State
bank, all of the windows of which
were blown out. was converted In
to a morgue. The Edwards County
Wool and Mohair company's
building became a temporary hos
pital. Many injured were taken
to Camp Wood, 42 miles away,
where a movie theater was con
verted into a hospital.
Witness Tells Story
Frank Rahmstorf, San Antonio,
eye witness to the destructive
sweep of the tornado, reached
Camp Wood today with a vivid ac
count of the disaster.
"I was driving to Rock Springs
from Junction," he said. "Miles
before I reached Rock Springs 1
saw the sinster funnel-shaped
cloud racing ahead of me. There
was a greenish yellow tinge to the
main cloud, set in a background
of inky blackness.- I feared trouble.
"When I got into Rock Springs
the cloud was hanging just above
the city, not a breath of air stir
ring. At 7:29 it broke. Just a
swish and a roar, then havoc and
pandemonium.
"The cloud dipped and seemed
to grasp the city. For six min
utes it raged and roared. I had
taken refuge in the Valentine
hotel. A number ofther people
also were there.
"They dashed to the concrete
annex. Bat I was unable to follow
them .before the entire roof col
lapsed. Fortunately I managed
to seek refuge under some heavy
timbers and escaped unhurt.
"But the sight when I reached
the streets was one of indescrib
able horror. From my vantage
point under the hotel roof I had
seen trees, human beings, houses
and larger buildings hured about
like so much chaff. Scantlings
were lifted and driven through
the bodies of victims who sought
to escape the storm's furyr The
sidewalks literally ran blood. It
resembled more a battlefield in
France than a peaceful little west
Texas town."
Girl Sends First Word
The survivors of the 800 popu
lation spent a night of horror,
groping about in the darkness.
The cries of the injured and dying
were mingled with the calls of
persons for their relatives.
For several hours there was no
direct communication to the
stricken area, then finally Miss
Gladys. Lowery. telephone opera
tor, with a heroism equal to the
occasion, drove a mile and a half
In the -rain witk-a telephone line
man to the nearest unbroken
point on the line. Thei-e, over a
telephone nailed to a post In the
open country, she told the story
of the storm and appealed for
help.
Cavalrymen; from TortfClark, in
Kinney county1, sixty miles distant,
arrived in Rock Springs, with field
kitehens land an emergency hospi
tal early in the morning and took
charge of the itnation. '
The tornado, ' accompanied by
heavy hail struck the north edge
of town and wiped out the Mexi
can settlement. The second story
of the new $80,000 school in the
center of the town was ripped off.
The court bouse was telescoped,
only its rock walls remaining. The
top and rear of the First National
bank were torn off. but the First
State bank escaped with light
damage.

It is hard to puess, by looking at
them, how old some cars are.
Careful check on the serial num
bers is the only certain way to
discover exactly when they, were
built.; :
When we tell you a car's age, you
can depend on the accuracy of
that statement.
You won't find out later, that
you have paid for a 1924 car,
and have a 1923 model.

uWe Have Been to Places We've
Never Been Before"
Does it pay to own a car ? The answer is decidedly "yes."
Buying a car is an investment in health and recreation. Going to places
you've never seen before stimulates the mind and brightens life's dull
routine. -
If you already have a car, this is the time to dispose of it and to
replace it with a better one.
Use the Classified Ads to Buy or Sell Used Cars
.
Lighten the Load on Moving Day
You will greatly simplify the problems of moving day. by selling
through the classified ads many of the things you intend eventually to
replace. '
Kitchen utensils, garden tools, some of your furniture, for instance,
may be disposed of and replaced by new things which better suit your needs.
Many of the accumulations of years are obviously of fto further use to
yptf--sell them for cash and perhaps you'll realize enough to more than pay
for your moving expenses. . - '
Two Cars LastLongerhan On
' If you own a fine car, get an extra car a used car -for hard usage.
During stormy weather or for any rough driving; your extra used car
will preserve the fine one. It will be spic and span when the other is per
haps covered with mud after a hard trip.
You can pick up a bargain in a; used car by consulting the classified ads
in this news'paper. , - .
Why take the Packard or the Cadillac on a fishing or hunting trip when
you may get a light car for a nominal price? ; .
