THE POLICEMAN

HE FINALLY FIXES IT
When a keokuk Author Was Hit by
an Automobile, 1t Became Prob
lem to Satisfy the Sergeant
and Lieutenant.

The man who writes the human in
terest of New York City for the Gin
cinnati Tfmes-Star sends his paper
the following incident in the life of a
Keokuk novelist 1t served Mr.. Ell
lott right for giving hotel address
instead of saying he was from Keo-
kuk-Deloss Decker writes that If Mr.
Elliott had given Keokuk as his adj
dress, even policeman would have
understood his status. What actually
happened is thus chronicled by the
Times-Star historian OF a day in New
York:
Francis Perry Elliott has written
many novels OF the thrillin-eyery-
paragraph description. The other
night, while out searching for "atmos-
rhere,' an auto knocked him dowa,
busted his trousers and bruised his
foot. While Mr. Elliott was searching
his vocabulary for new forms of com.
n1ent a policeman came up.
Nance asked the copper. "Busf
ness? Address,"
Elliott told his name, and added
that he is novel writer by profession
He gave his address at his hotel
The copper wasn't quite satisfied
