the youths closed the window and
obliterated all marks of their visit.

haste to flee from Patrolman Lopez
they discarded four sweaters and a

The long-fcared invasion from the

tivities, is being attacked by aircraft,
millions of them, 100000 strong,

Butterflies, scavensers which if per-
mitted to increase will ruin crops, are
lowering over San Antonio to the
number of 100000, estimates A. NJ.
Fischer of Fischcr's Drug Store.
He has been taking observations
for the last few days.
IF the destruction of birds goes
on, the unchecked increase of butter
flies will cause great damage as the
larvae which feed on crops, especially
cotton, will be produced in greater
number" Mr.. Fischer said.
The butterflies also have been in
testing the roads in the vicinity Of
San Antonio, he declared. Automobiles
travelling the county highways have
their radiators covered by yellow and
red coatings, the fan sucking the
butterflies against the shell.

people had TO stop and scrape the

their granddaughter, Edna, the daugh-
ter of Ed Frangcr, 500 Delmar Street,
was married to Julius Weder.
After so years of married life in
troubled times, when OK trains were
bcsieged by Indians, and the railroad
was not we'll known here, the old
couple beamed lovingly on their grand
children, who, after the San Antonio
ceremony, went to La Coste for the
Golden Jubilee celebration at the
Franger home.
HAD NARROW ESCAPES.
The Frangers were born in Medina
County and were married at the st,
Louis Church September II, 1875.
They lived at Idlewilde As years,
and then moved to La Coste in 1919.
Mr.. Granger hauled freight from Port
Lavaca with OK teams. In those days
the Indians would steal horses from
the roundupS. In 1872, Mr.. Franger
says, he saw four Indian chiefs cap
tured by soldiers, and he was a mem
Der of the wagon team just behind
that which was attacked by Indians
near Fort Sill.
Four freighters were killed, the
wagons were riddled with bullets, and
one man was tied 10 wagon and
burned. Mrs. Franger remembers
when her mother used to trade butter
and eggs to the Indians for venison.
One Sunday, she says, as they were
getting ready to go to church, and
her brother was rounding up the
horses, the Indians ran off with all
but the bell horse. Mrs. Franger
was Amelia Schmidt then.
MADE SO A MONTH THEN.
She remembers wildly how they
were married when Mr.. Franger was
making So a month, and he had $50
saved. They have six children ana
q grandchildren.
The children are Ed Franger, San
Antonio; Mrs. W. Geyer, Yorktown ;
Mrs. Max Bippert, La Coste; Mrs.
Henry Franger, Idlewilde; Mrs. Louis
Mehr, Castroville, and Joe Franger,
who died in 1917.

WOMEN BETTER
SAVERS THAN
MEN, BANKS
REPORT
Thrifty San Antonians Have
More Than $4,000, 900
in Safe Keeping.

San Antonians have more than $12,-
100000 in savings.
And since September 1, last year,
they have increased their reserve
funds more than half a million dollars.
Women, ordinarily considered the
most extravagant spenders, statistics
show, are the greatest savers.
This is disclosed in figures compiled
by seven San Antonio banks which
carry savings accounts.
$671.244 INCREASE.
Comparing figures for September 1,
1924, and for September 1 of this
year, it is found that savings deposits
have increased approximately SELL
224. For the first day in September,
1924. bankers reported approximately
S11 ,G6S, 494 in savings deposits. This
was increased to S12,339,71s in 1925.
This shows greatly increased popu-
larity Of savings accounts, bankers
say. because several local banks re-
Gently lowered the rate of interest
paid on this fund.
Women have more accounts in the
thousands Of deposits than do men,
according to banking officials. They
naturally are more thrifty, they say.
than men.
MOST RECIU AID
However" banker said, because
an account is entered in a woman's
name that does not necessarily mean
that it is hers, for she may be the
banker for the family. Thus, we have
no way of actually telling what the
proportion of thrifty women who are
self-supportniS and have to care for
none but themselves is, as compared
with men of the same type.
THE small-Salariel working person
constitutes the majority of depositors.
While their deposits are not as large
as those of the business man, or high
salaried professional men and women,
the little depositOr is the most regular
one of all when it comes to placing
money to his name.
"Of course. though, the man who
makes a large income has different
ways of investing, which are not open
to those who have but a few dollars
at a time.
TEACHERS INVEST.
School teachers are among our
heaviest depositors in savings ac-
counts. but usually, when summer
comes, they give US the necessary 60
days notice and take trip either to
some college where they work on 3
degree or go on a vacation.
Very few of our accounts are b
the younger people, much to our re-
greet. There seems to be lack Of in
terest in savings until a person is old
enough to realize the absolute neces-
sity of it.
Some families make allowances for
savings in their budgets, besides their
regular checking account, but it has
been found that comparatively few
families are operated on a strictly
| budget basis"

HOLD YOUR HATS.
MATES, HERE'S
'PAMONkEy
Insurance c Commissioners to
Stage Unique Show
During Meeting.
It's mysterious.

It's mysterious.
Nobody knows even what the man
in charge is going to do or say
about it.
There will be n large attendance.
Everybody hopes that nobody gets
hurt during the staging of it.
1t is hoped that "a good time will
be had by ALL"
What is the thing to which all
these rather vague definitions apply?
1t is nothing more or less than the
"Pamonkcy" show which will be a
feature of the entertainment of the
Insurance Commissioners Convention
and Fire Marshal's Association of
North America meeting when that
body convenes in San Antonio this
week.
WHAT is IT?
The Pamonkey club is an institu-
ton among those in the fire bust
ness, including commissioners. mar
shals, insurance men and others, yet
no one seems to have the slightest
idea of what it all is about.
The consensus, however, is that 1t
is a cross between the third degree
and a gridiron, with the delegates,
from the one with the most respon-
sible position down to the ono with
the least important job, placed be-
fore the remaining members in a
peculiar situation, that of being made
the goat.
That is merely a hazard at what
it really is, for as stated before, no
body knows what it is-or at least,
no one is supposed to know.
MAKING PAMONKEYS.
|. The Pamonkey show will be given
as stag event Friday at 6 p. m,
in the Menger Hotel ballroom. Wal
ter Chorn, who will be one of the
early arrivals, will preside over the
fun making and the serious business
of making pamohkies out of those as
yet uninitiated into the deep ~yster-
les of the order.
A large number of candidates have
applied for membership, and it Is ex-
pected that by the time the meeting
is over, the entire attendance either
will be tired from being initiated, or
from initiating the other fellow, into
the realm of Pamonkeyism.
