Sheriff's. Emergency Car Crew Members ‘Not Superstitious,” but Declare Fast Runs Through Traffic Safer With Token Along.
Sheriff Ray’s deputies are not exactly superstitious, but when emergency car No. 2 roars out of the garage with the siren screaming, a tiny tan baby shoe (above) rides in a corner above the driver's seat. Rivaling Pete De Paolo’s celebrated baby shoes, the tiny leather sandal bears the names of five deputies and, according to legend, has prevented the emergncy car from “stacking up” in traffic accidents.
An emergency night crew found the shoe at the scene of a traffic accident months ago. It had fallen from the foot of a small child. Today it’s importance in the lives of Anthony Maio, Roscoe Bredell, Harry Ragsdale, Hubert Stevens, and Walter Davis is considered great.

anything should happen to the little ta

Proposed Plan Considered Dangerous by South Side People.
Plans to re-route tzgckless trolley cars from the proposed Minnesota st crossing today were being made by Louis Brandt, Werks Board memes ber, to whom the matter was referred.
