 board from Old Ferry Scow.

Saturday evening it Twas rumored that boy had been drowned in the Wfllimantic river. Chief of Police E. H. Richmond was notified by Officer Victor Enander. A few moments later Mayor D. P. Dunn telephoned the chief who immediately went to the site of the supposed drowning. and with the mayor superintended the work of re- covering the body. Boats were pro- cured and volunteers were called for. The Thompson boys who live on Pleasant street, with another young man who lives in the Oaks rowed out into the stream and the Thompsons began grappling for the body. After few moments, Burt Thompson, who was in the bow of the boat, struck something and pulling it in found that it was the body of the missing boy, John Raymond Warner. aged :. Chief Richmond assisted in pulling the drowned lad to the river bank at the rear of the Central Vermont freight house. The body was recovered about 6.45 o'clock.
 Walter Broadhurst step-father of the drowned lad, with another youngs- ter. went to the river between five and six o'clock and began looking for worms. They left the younger boy on the river bank and went down stream. The lad apparently began to get lone some and climbed into an old scow that is used as a sort of a ferry to go across the river to the spring. The scow is attached to overhead wire and ane passenger pulls himself across by it. The boy. it is believed, pulled himself about halfway across the river and then lost his balance and fell into the river. which is pretty deep at this point. The boys hat was found down the river near the Provi- dence bridge
 When the child's step-father return ed he found no trace Of the lad and immediately it was assumed that he had fallen into the river. The alarm was given and provision was being made to have the water drawn off just as the body was recovered within twenty five feet from the spot where the child is supposed to have fallen in. but nearer the Main street bank of the river and east of the freight house.
 Medical Examiner Dr. Louis L Ma son pronounced death due to accident al drowning The body was turned over to Funeral Director H. N Fenn to prepare for burial. The boy lived with his stepfather and mother in the Hanover block at the corner of Hem pie and Union streets.

How long your light summer clothes last depends not on how much they, are worn, but on how often they are washed. That Is, if they are washed in the old-fash- toned way.
 If they are washed with Fels-Naptha in cold or lukewarm water, the washing won't harm them bit.
 Boiling hurts any clothes, but 1t Is par ticularly hard on light stufs, such as sheer linens, lawns, faces and muslins- the fabric so they will tear easily. And hard rubbing on the washboard wears them out and frays them.
 You avoid this by washing the Fels-Naptha way in cold or lukewarm water. Boiling and hard-rubbing are un- necessary, because Fels-N aptha dissolves the dirt into tiny particles which are sent flying by light rubbing and thorough rinsing.
 Then, too, the clothes are cleaner, winter and sweeter, as we'll as longer-wear- ing.
 Be sure to follow the easy directions on the red and green wrapper.
