TAKES JOY RIDE WITH
OTHER PEOPLES FLIVVERS

ATLANTA, Ga, July 16.-Israel Cot
ton, an Atlanta negro whose color is
Numerically opposite the fleecy sta
pie, plucks Flivvers along the streets
like blackberries along a branch, ac-
cording to couple of Atlanta detec-
tives who have been trailing him sew
eral weeks and landed him behind the
bars with mass of evidence on which
they expect to secure his admission in
to the Ancient Order of the Convict
Stripe.
Israel walks along with an innocent
air, and when he strikes Flivver that
isn't bound and gagged, so to speak, he
steps into the drivers seat and drives
it off After riding as long as the gas
holds out, he stops the Flivver at the
curb and leaves it, and goes about his
business of finding another one.
But it's long lane that knows no
turning, and Israel took about six or
seven rides too many.
