WANTS TO TRY A WHACK AT HELL Billy Sunday believes that one ' o f his sermons would stir up tilings in hell to such an extent ^ i h a t the chief ruler o f those re- •' gions would loose all his subjects. He says, "People! I f God would let me go down to the infernal regions and preach a sermon I could depopulate Hell in fifteen minutes,” Why not send Billy and Teddy to Germany? Billie could chase ’em out and Teddy could pot ’em on the run. The decision not to make Bar- ney Baruch the centralized pur chaser o f war supplies for our government and our Allies is said to have been reached partly because o f his operations in the stock market at the time o f the "le a k " last December.

PEELS BLLY SUNDAY’S HIDE Raymond Hitchcock, the actor, has succeeded in gteting under the hide o f Billy Sunday and making him squeal. Hitchcock has made a great hit by burlesque impersonations o f the evangelist which made him highly redicu- lous. Billy recognizes the powers o f the spectacular stage adver tising and so to get away from the damage Hitchcock was liable to do his especial stunts, agreed to drop his criticism o f the stage if Hitchcock would quit making Billy Sundy rediculotis. It seems from this Sunday is not as badly hurt by the wickedness o f the theatre as he is by a jab in his own personal affairs.— Salem will be carried up to the supreme Journal.
