BOY ALTERS A SIGNAL
MAN ON LINE SAVED
“A man lying on the railway lines --a train approaching in the dusk -unless something is done quickly the man will be killed.
A fifteen-year-old boy, Barr Holmes, of Ashley Heath, near Hale, Cheshire, faced this pro- blem, when, with two schoolmates, he was standing on Davey House bridge.
Deciding that the train must be stopped, Barr after running half a mile up the line, turned the signa) to danger. The oncoming train was pulled up and the man's life wan saved.
Nobody in Ashley was aware of the boy's action until it was dis- closed at Altrincham Polico Court, when Ernest Lowndes (27), of Lane End. Ashley, was bound over on a charge of attempting to commit suicide.
BOY'S OWN STORY.
"I saw the boy working at his father's garage in Ashley Heath where he is learning to be a motor mechanic.
"My chums and I had been for a walk." he said, "and were watch- ing the sunset from the bridge, when I saw the man lying in the aix-foot way with his head on the railway line. I knew a train was due at any moment. We jumped on the line, and I saw at once from the man's condition that it was useless to try to move him. Our only hope who to atop the train. I left my chums to watch over the man while I ran to Ashley Station to tell the station master.
"I ran hard, but I realised that I would be too late. I could set the lights of the engine leaving Ashley and coming, towards me and the man further down the Ine. A short distance away the Signal was showing green, If only I could change it to danger I enuld save the man's life (I know a little about signal mechanism), and with the train upproaching me
I pressed the counterweight. Looking up, I was glad to see that the light had turned to red.
"The train stopped and the fireman ran towards me to usk what was the matter. I led him to the man, beside whom were my | friends ready to act in case my
plans failed."

The Altrincham magistrates declared it "a good piere of work,” and congratulated Holmes,
Lowndes promised that hc would not attempt to take his life again and he was handed over to the care of his brother after he had thanked the boy hero who had saved his life.
SKILL SAVES CRASH
TWO 'PLANES SAFE AFTER MID-AIR MISHAP
Only a brilliant piece of flying on the part of two young R.A.F. lets saved them from disaster when their auroplanes had a slight calllaion in mid-air over Fillon R.A.F. Station, Bristol.
The officers, Flying Officer J. W. A. Hunnard and Flight Lieut. A. T. K. Shipwright, belonging to No. 3 (Fighter) Squadron, from Upavon, Marlborough, were lying in practice formation when, at height of about 1,000ft., the tips of their machines met.
As the 'planes broke away, watchers saw part of the wing of one of the machines break off and fall. An alarm was raised, and the station fire brigade and am- bulances were manned in case of an accident.
The pilot of the crippled ma- chine dived, and for`a moment it was feared all was lost. but the airman maintained control, and made a perfect landing.
The second neroplane, whose risk want also damaged, came down at an awkward angle, and overturned 011 reaching .the
ground.
R.A.F. officers and mechanics rushed to the spot in time to nee the pilot scrambling out-unhurt.
