He cited the records of both men as excellent up to the dote of the infraction. Both men frankly admitted they were wrong and offered no alibis or excuses, he said. The sheriff said both men had made requests to be rcappointed, but that as far as he knew neither of them sought to exert political or other pressure to bring it about. In air ness to both deputies, I AT I gave their cases a great deal of thought and after due deliberation and in view of their previous records of loyal and efficient service, I decided to reappoint them, feeling confident that henceforth they will do their best to carry out the duties assigned to them in a man- THE HAPPY FAMILY is the family that is free financial worries.

Wrong Phone For Cab, Woman Still Gets Ride A woman who went to a box on a street corner yesterday to call a taxi cab was surprised when two fire trucks, two engines and a police car answered.

But she got her ride, anyway--in the police patrol wagon. Identified by a a Robert Liepka as Miss Alice K. Lambert, 814 Wolf st, she explained that she only wanted a cab, saying "I pulled the handle down on that red box and put a penny inside for the call." Because she neglected to note that it was a tire alarm box instead of telephone, Miss Lambert was given a free ride in the patrol wagon and charged with public intoxication. She later pleaded innocent in Police Court and the case was adjourned. Fire engines 12, 14, trucks 2 and under District Fire Chief Leo Pacheck answered the "taxi call" at 3.17 a.
