Stunt Suggestions: This story is so melodramatic as to approach travesty in ms plot, and should be billed and treated as such rather than as a straight propaganda story. The paper is vivid, and should he used liberally in preference to special stunts. Work it on a wagon through the streets, and post several stands. If you can hire a devil masquerade suit dress the driver of the wagon in the costume. Care should be taken not to present it as a companion to the more serious propaganda stories.
