BOY, 13, CITY’S 16TH DROWNING VICTIM OF YEAR Kenneth Van Pelt Had Just Learned to Swim; Dies in Fall Creek. Tragedy today shrouded the modest home of Mr. and Mrs. R. F. Van Pelt, of 2006 Broadway St., while the body of their only son, Kennetth, 13, lay in a morgue, the sixteenth drowning victim this year. Efforts of the boy’s companions failed to save him from death in Pall fcreek at Keystone Ave. Wednesday evening. “Kenneth had just learned to swim and thought he could do everything he saw the older boys do,” the heart-broken mother sobbed. Tries to Rescue Boy The boy’s body was recovered by Motor Policeman Robeson and Martin two hours after the drowning. The mother was present when grappling hooks brought the body to the surface. / Leotis Shircliff, 15, 2015 Ashland Ave., was within fifteen feet of Kenneth when he sank. Young Shircliff screamed for help, his cries attracting the attention of John Pike, 18, of 1953 Ashland Ave., a friend of Kenneth. Pike, swimming some distance away, hurried to shore, ran along the bank to the scene and plunged in. He failed to find the body, which, according to the boys, did not rise to the surface after sinking the first time. Told to Stay in Auto Several other boys in the swimming party included Marshall Moore, of 1950 Ashland Ave.; Delbert Auvil, of 1951 Bellefontaine St.; Randal Shircliff, 15, brother of Leotis and Herbert and Robert Berkey. Leotis Shircliff explained to officials he told Kenneth to stay in Pike’s automobile with the Berkey boys as he thought the water was too deep for Kenneth, who had been ill for some tihie. Officers were .forced to traffic from the Keystone Ave. bridge when spectators became so numerous as to hinder efforts of police and volunteer swimmers in searching for the body. Investigation of the drowning was conducted at the scene by Coroner C. H. Keever. The body was taken to the ' lan- ! ner & Buchanan mortuary, 5 W.! Pall Creek Blvd. Funeral service probably Fill be ; held Saturday. Definite arrange-1 ments have not been made. WHERE HANDBAGS GROW “Skins From Contented Boa Constrictors” Are Advertised.

This is why so many thousands have been enabled to free themselves of these unsightly blemishes and painful annoyances by taking a course of S.S.S. You owe it to yourself to try S.S.S. It helps Nature build up red corpuscles. It improves the processes by which the blood is nourished. “I suffered from impure blood—was weak, and I had lost /so much weight, I didn’t look natural. I had pimples and was also bothered with a breaking-out that itched terribly. I also had boils one after another. I tried different kinds of remedies,
