Paul J. Keith, 13, schoolboy, saved Lola E. Haven, 12, and Esther Randall, 16, from drowning, Centerville, Missouri, July 25, 1912. (See case of LOLA E. HAVEN.) Paul ran 90 feet and, fully dressed except shoes, dived toward the girls. He swam a few strokes to a position between them and grasped one in each arm. Lola grabbed him at the chest and neck. He forced her away, and she started to go beneath the surface. He again grasped a girt with each hand. Their weight forced him to the bottom, but he held their heads above the surface and sprang upward. He trod water and reached a place where he could stand in water to his neck, eight feet from where the girls had been. A woman took Lola, and Keith helped Esther to the bank. 11071-881
