...white elephant, adorned with tar and talcum powder, strolled down Fifth Avenue, Manhattan, at 12 noon, trailing behind her a train of toy trolley cars, each painted, in large letters, with the name of that excellent hostelry, The Hotel Roosevelt, what would this be? It would be a publicity stunt. What would a hardboiled, wise, cynical, alert newspaper reporter think it was? He would think it was a front-page story. This, at least, was the opinion which intelligent persons were compelled to adopt after witnessing last week in Manhattan an example of journalistic susceptibility to unoriginal press-agenting...

Miss Bernice Heaton, the telephone instructress, for example, would ride home from court on a trolley car and go out for the evening with a girl friend. Edward K.

J., the passengers were obliged to hang tight. Rounding one corner everything went stunning, dizzy black. The driver had hit a trolley pole. The ambulance body had flown from the chassis, which wrecked further on. Dr. Poia and Nurse Raitzel came to in dizzy red. Passersby pulled them out of the smash. Badly cut, deeply bruised, they dressed each other's wounds while another automobile was found. No time to lose...
