Captain Kile admitted that a
number of years ago, when num-
bered badges first we're issued to
f1remen, he was issued badge
No. 10.
IT wouldn't even unwrap it, and
didn't wear a badge for some time,
until finally, the safety board
gave me another" he chuckled.
"Why, 1 was ready to give up my
job before I would take that"
Fire department records reveal
badge No. 13 now is in possession
of George Toon, 1923 Oakland
avenue, who served on the force
from Aug. 4, 1894, to Jan. l, 1929,
when he was retired.
Apparently the badge was lucky
for Toon, f1remen pointed out,
for he was a member Of Hose
Company Is when he was pro-
NOTED to a captaincy at Station
Is back in 1903, and remained a
captain until he retired.

just thirteen years when I was
promoted to lieutenant and shift

happened on Friday the 18th, I
might have been made captain
right then"
Although the station is located
near the heart of the business
district, and its crew makes more
runs through downtown heavy
traffic area than does any other,
it has fewer accidents, proper
tionately, than any other station
in the city, boosted Captain KEEP
pei.
1--WE don't have any trouble fill
ing vacancies here, even if the
station does have a jinx number"
Keppel said. There always is a
big waiting list to get in. If one
of our men gets transferred to
another station, he usually spends
half his time trying to get back"
"TF you want to know how
Il lucky this station is, come
back here and look at Old Ellie,
the hoodoo truck" said Doyle.
"Old ellie" the second oldest
truck in the fire department.,
nearing her twentieth birthday,
for years has been known to all
city firemen as being jinxed.
at seemed that she never made
a run without some sort of freak
accident. Old Ellie collided with
the salvage corps truck in 1919
and killed three firemen. 1t has
caused more injuries and collided
with more fire trucks, automo-

objects than any other five fire
trucks"
On its side it bears a brass plate
reading: Caution, this wagon
has bad reputation; drive it
carefully; do not become one of

improving service to the public TER
ested 5000 members of the American
College of Surgeons, opening a five-day
session today.
Other costs have declined said
report by DR.. John A. Mcnamara of
Chicago, but the cost of hospital beds
has not varied since 1923. The cost per
bed averages $3.50. Part of the cost, he
explained is due to the public demand
for better service. The fact that fewer
beds have been occupied because of
economic conditions is a contributing
cause, he added.
Half Are Crash Victims.
Some hospitals situated on the main
automobile highways report that SO per
cent of their patients are traffic acct
dent cases. These figures game from a
survey by Dr. Frederic x. Besley of
Waukegan, ILL.,, chairman of the board
on industrial and traumatic surgery.
OF these traffic accident patients, he
said, at least 40 per cent pay no hos

an unfair burden upon the local COM

urged some system be adopted for bond
