in the magazine.
The article says: mo singer whose
New York debut as recitalist occurred

cordially and praise than Walter

Miss Ferris Modest About Feat,

The bravery of Miss Margaret FER
rls. Crown apartments, teacher Of the
first grade at the Abbott school, prob
ably saved from drowning in River
side lake Tuesday evening, Ernest
Gooding, aged 3, son Of Mr.. and Mrs.
E. c. Gooding. 523 North First street.
From an automobile Miss Ferris saw
the child sink, the first time and, run
ming to the brink, she plunged into the
lake. waded as far as she could then
swan. siezed the child after he had
gone down for the second time. and
dragged him to shore. The boy with
other playmates was wadinH at the
west end of the lake when he got out
beyond his depth.
Miss Ferris after rescuing the child
jumped into the car In her dripping
garments and was hu.riedly driven to
her home, after seeing first that the
Gooding child was not In danger. Men
attracted to the scene came running to
the lake and took the child and his
companions home. The near drown
ing of the child is the result Of unat-
tended children using the ccmtery for
a playground.
Tries to Suppress Story.
When Times Republican reporter
questioned Miss Ferris this morning
she was very reticent concerning her
feat and tried to suppress the story
and asked that her name not be used.
Miss Ferris said she was driving
with friends in the cemtery and as
they rounded the southeast end OF the
lake she. saw the child go down for the
first time. She told her companions
and in the excitement o: trying to get
to the child the driver threw the car
into reverse gear by mistake. Miss
Ferris, who is an excellent swimmer
realized that no time could be wasted
so jumping from the car she ran along
the, south bank to the west end Of the
lake and plunged in.
Wades and Swins to Child.
In her hurry to reach the child. who
had then gone down for the second
time, Miss Ferris first waded, then
swan. but after a few strokes she
found she could still wade to the child
as the water was only four feet deep,
altho much too deep for a 3-year- old
child. Because Of the shallowness,
Miss Ferris made light of her expert
lence this morning, altho it is known
that beside running her clothing she
caught cold from the exposure. The
rescued child, after coughing up the
water he swallowed, was none the
worse for his experience, altho badly
frightened. s,.-----

derived from Sanskrt. Ethnologistt
pretty well agree that the Gipsies are
descendants of an obscure Hlndoc

no other basis than the similarity OF
the two words. The word "Gipsy" as q
