PASADENA, Oct. 11.-Pasadena has
the proud boast of having the young
est autoist in the world, but for a
time this afternoon the proud parents
of the wonder did not half appreciate
their joyous position. The child motor
list is the 2-year-old son of Mr. and
Mrs. w. c.. Crowell of 341 North
Marengo avenue.
This afternoon the baby clambered
into his fathers motor car, which was
standing in the driveway beside the
house, and started to play about the
leather cushions of the vehicle. In
a few minutes Mrs. Crowell, who had
not noticed that the baby was in the
machine, glanced through the window
and was Mortified to see the auto start
off for the street with only the baby
in it.
Mrs. Crowells creams attracted the
attention of her husband and he rushed
from the front door as soon as he be-
came aware of the cause OF the COM
motion. BY a brisk sprint he captured
the machine before harm had come to
the child
1t seems that Baby Crowell while
playing about the cushions, pulled or
pressed the lever which was hold
ing the machine. In a moment the
auto started off for the street. Had
not Mrs. Crowell seen the machine
start in time to give the alarm there
is no knowing what might have hap
pened.
The baby was proud and happy while
the machine was going but when his
father stopped the vehicle and lifted
him to safety he set up a lively shout
for the pleasures of the stolen ride
which was his no longer.
