Boys Spend Bad ? Night Oti Rock One Slip- Off and Omtvn* After s Fifteen Hours : Richmond, Va., March 28. ? Cling kfg fearfully to a big rock ' in the James river for fifteen hours after a small row bat had capsized in the middle of the treacherous stream. three little Richmond boys, their bodies nomh from bitter cold, prayel throughout last night only to see one of their number, slip from the Jboulder and drown. Becoming delirious, Wesley Elite, 13-year-old, met his ^eath when he lost his grip shortly before 5 o'clock thi? morning. His two companions, F/dwnrd Poh, 12, and Horace Crosby, 13, their legs locked to prevent them from falling: otf.JJie rock were rcc cued a short while afterward by a part^ se/it out by their parents. The" yonths, c-addlVs m the "xrrvm* -try club of Virginia, a short ?ii< tance a;way, started across t ..*^ river j Saturday afternoon, the boat cap- j sizing- when they were in the midddle I of the river. When they failed to ? show up at their Homes late Satur-. ^?y night parties were sent out, the i search ending with the rescue this J morning. j <;OOI> WORK REARS FRUIT One swallow d3< s not make a sum mer nor. does one 'year provide in iinderwriting a very dependable basis _ of average in statistics.

For a. number of v^ars the Nrfth Carolina InrUrancc Department ras interested it-self, in fire prevention and has handled the problem with great energy and resourcefulness. This policy is undoubtedly. , responsi ble' in a large ..'measure ;for'-i.hc' that North Carolina, in 1924, en joyed an average rate f .premium' of ? -09 'as' against- an. --'average -of ! 26 for fourteen Southern states.
