emphasized the time lost by four or
five members of the family not COM
ing to meals on time She urged
housekeepers to be humane to serv-

Everything Ready for
Billy Sundays Invasion
Of New York City

New York, April 4.-Billy Sunday IS !
giant tabernacle is all ready for him
to start his fight on the Devil i'll New
York at Broadway and 16Sth street Sun
day morning.
The big choir is organized. Every cit
izen, large and small; every working
girl, every boy, every laborer, every
scrub woman, has been told and told
of Sundays coming. Thousands of
them have been organized into bible
classes, personal workers, singers and
other assistants to the redoubtable
Billy.
This New York campaign is expect
ed to be Sundays greatest triumph or
his worst tumble from the pedestal of
evangelism. New York awaits him with
out much to say. 1t is inordinately
curious to see what he looks like and
how he acts.
Broadway and Booze have paid lit
tie attention to him. He may stir up Il
fight with the Great White Way after
he gets started though
Among his most ardent supporters
and financial aids here is John d..
Rockefeller, Jr., and Mrs. Rockefeller
! Sunday has said he will be bit
tanner here with his slang and his
slams than elsewhere. New York WON
ders why 1t rather expected him to
tear loose and 90 the limit and over.
But Sunday says slang is out of use
mostly now and he thinks there are a
few good theaters and cabaret restaur-
ants too.
Billy has promised to turn his taber-
naele into a big recruiting station III
case the United States goes to war
with GERMANY. His son George M. Sun
day will join the aviation corps, he
/ says.

CURRENT COMMENT
That New Junction Subway.

Thousands of people who, in the course
of twelve-month, have occasion to
travel by rail along the western side OF
New Hampshire or the eastern side OF
Vermont, viii welcome the news that the
new subway at White River Junction is
nearing completion. II will mean the
adjustment of the eight track railroad
crossing, which, the Manchester Union
truly says, "has been a menace to the
state for more than half century
though the menace has applied with
equal seriousness TO two states. The
provision for the safety of pedestrians
seems TO be all that could be reasonably
desired: and the confused tumble of
changing cars at one of the most impor
tant railroad functions in northern New
England bids fair to be considerably sim
plified. Not only viii all-the year resi-
dents of these two states rejoice in the
Improvement, but thousands of tourists
who come to this section of the country
in smmer-and not few in winter-will
join in the jubilation; and Dartmouth
college alumni, as well as undergradu
ates. scattered from Hanover to Hong
Kong. will heave a sigh of consummate
relief at this metamorphosis of THE
Junk. "-Brattleboro Reformer.
