ASK BALA.CYNwYD TUNNEL
Removal of Railroad Gates Fails to
Placate Residents

The members Of the Bala- -Cynwyd
Neighborhood Club, civic association OF
the double suburb, held a meeting last
night in the Union Fire House to dis
cuss what steps should be taken in con-
nection with the recent action of the
Pennsylvania Railroad In removing the
gates that permitted the residents to cross
at the two stations
These gates were closed on March l.
As n result, the members of the club say
residents are complaining and the future
growth of the two suburbs will be af-
fected.
What the residents want Is tunnels con-
Meeting the two sides Of both stations.
one member last night said the 80 steps
at the Bala station were too much for
him to climb. and Lis doctor had o ad-
vised him. Another told of how a young
woman, suffering from a broken leg. was
brought home. and OF the Inconvenience
in carrying her up the stairs
George r. Sinnickson. superintendent Of
the Schuylkill Division of the Pennsylva-
MIA Railroad attended the meeting and
told of how the company had widened the
steps, made the lighting better and other
improvements. He did not talk about the

into the meeting. said the tunnels could be
built at a cost of about $4,000 for each
station.

NICHOLSON ATTACKS
JOYLESS CHRISTIANS
"Pleasure-Loving" Philadelphia
Is Also Assailed by Evangelist
in Darby Tabernacle

"a joyless Christian is like a piano out
of tune or dislocated limb" declared
| Evangelist William p. Nicholson while
| preaching this afternoon I'm the Nicholson
| Hemmlnger tabernacle in Darby. And at
the same time he assailed "pleasure-lov-
| ing Philadelphia for trying to find Joy
| without following the teachings of God
and the Bible"
There was a good attendance. and the
| preacher was frequently applauded when
he hammered home some of his strong
punches against sin.
In opening his sermon, Mr.. Nicholson
| said that the Bible says be joyful in the
Lord not happy in the Lord We cannot
| always he happy, but we may always be
joyful" he continued. Happiness de-
pends on what happens. Joy is inde-
pendent Of either disposition or circum-
stances.
There is n large place in Gods word
given to joy. But we bind the Bible in
black cloth. churches have dim light and
many hymns arc sad and are sung in
minor key. What slander on Chris
tianity! If God gives such large place
to joy so should we. What a lot of
sadness there is among Christians!
There is no cause for this sadness"
said the evangelist. But. instead, there
is all the reason for joy on the part of
Christians. Many lives have written over
them Tchabad'-The Glory Departed
They once had the joy of the Lord, but
they have backsidden.
Some of the sources of joy are Gods
presence, Gods voice, Gods word, suffer.
ing and service answered prayer and love
to God. Many sell their birthrght of joy
like Esau for a mess of pottage for the
temporary satisfaction of an appetite, or,
like David, catering to his lust; or, like
the children of the captivity in bondage.
These things all result in the loss OF joy.
Poor peasure.loving Philadelphia
thinks its passing happiness is real last
ing joy. Poor deluded people trying to
find joy outside of Gods plan. There is
no joy in selfish satisfaction, or self in.
dulgence or slavery. And this great city
is full of all three of these. My oh, my!
God pity us
IF this joy is lost. It may be restored
to us again. He will give the oil of joy
for mourning, the garment of praise for
the spirit of heaviness. A joyless Chris
tian is like a piano out of tune or a dis
located limb. He needs mending."
Many public school teachers attended
the services last night.
Tonight will be RebelIah Lodges night
and many of the organizations are ex-
pected to attend They will be accom-
panied by the women's Salvation Army
Band, of Philadelphia.

LITERARY BURGLAR ESCAPES
WITH LOOT AFTER FEAST
Enjoys Dinner and Book Before Flee
ing With Silverware and Gems

A burglar OF literary taste is visiting
the city. He is also somewhat of an epi-
cure. He believes that a good dinner Is
essential to good work. He called at the
home of Mrs Mary Il. LaDow, 6416 North
18th street. last night while she was at
church and first of all visited the commits
sary department
After selecting some nice turkey. cram
berry sauce. mince pie. nuts and other
appetizing things, he put the coffee on TO
boil and then wandered into the library
There the visitor casually examined the
books. and, selecting one of Thackeray's
dropped into an easy chair. Realizing
that he didn't have time to finish the
whole book, he then selected the best
silverware and piled IT on the floor A
trip through the rooms upstairs yield
ed several rings and stickpins These
were assembled with the silverware BY
this time the visitor noticed that the cof-
fee was done and wandered to the kitchen
He had carved but one slice of the tur-
key when Mrs. LaDow returned with her
son Stewart. They noticed that the lights
In the library were turned on full also
that many books and other things were
scattered about the floor. A mounted
policeman was summoned by telephone
and he, with Stewart LaDow. went up
stairs The burglar heard them and left
by way of the kitchen door without leav-
ing his card
Investigation showed that the visitor
had taken jewelry and silverware valued
at several hundred dollars.

HOUSE IN AN UPROAR
OVER PLAN TO MAKE
MILITIA REGULARS"
Amendment to Put Guardsmen
Under Same Obligations as
Federal Soldiers
Beaten
ARMY BILL IN SENATE

WASHINGTON. March 2-The ex-
pected storm in the House over the clause
OF the Hay bill providing Federal control
OF the National Guard broke today.
Representative Tilson. of Connecticut. a
member Of the Hay committee, offered an
amendment designed to place guardsmen
under the same obligations as regular
soldiers. The amendment would force
men entering the militia to take the oath
administered in the army.
Members all over the chamber leaped to
their feet, ready to attack the consttu-
tionality of the proposed liberalization Of
the militia. Mr. Tllson then explained
that his amendment would remove one
argument against presidential control Of
the citizen soldiery.
Chairman Hay opposed the amendment
on the ground that 1t was Unnecessary An
oath for miitlame mis- already provided.
he said; the trainers of the Constitution
had intended the National Guard as a
national not State force The amend.
ment was lost, no record of the vote be.
ing taken.
An effort to exempt the National Guard
from strike duty, embodied in an amend.
ment offered by Meyer London. the New
York Socialist member, was lost when
Mr. Garrett, in the chair, ruled It out of
order. Mr.. Londons resolution used the
word strike" The chair ruled that no
court or competent Government agent had
ever interpreted that word. and on the
suggestion of Mr. Hay ruled that the
amendment was not germane.
Passage of Senator Chamberlain's bill
TO double the West Point Academy's capac.
ity today was to be followed by launch.
ing of the Chamberlain army bill. Senate
leaders, at the Presidents request, had
agreed to shunt aside the Myers water |
power measure and take up the national |
defense bills.
Further extensive debate was promised |
upon the plan to mobilize resources of the |
nation in time of war, including muni. |
lions factories, automobiles for trans.
and similar agencies. The |
House is overwhelmingly for this plan

to Republican club in Atlanta, Senator
Borah says that he is not a candidate

CAPITALS We Have Had,

1t is asserted sometimes that the
United States has had five capitals,
but the statement is not correct. The
United States has had but three cap
itals-New York, Philadelphia and
Washington. In the period preceding
the adoption Of the constitution no
place was legally constituted a capital
In a loose and unofficial sense it is pos
sible to describe as a capital any city
which was the seat Of government.
Taking the sessions Of the Continental
congress as establishing a seat Of gov
eminent In the Revolution and the
confederation, the following cities
may loosely rank as capitals: Phila-
delphia, Baltimore, Lancaster, York,
Princeton, Annapolis, Trenton and
New York. The articles of confedera-
ton were passed by congress in Phil
adelphia, and the federal convention
charged to prepare a constitution con-
vened at the same place.

Surprises In War.


In warfare the elements Of surprise"
counts for a very great deal.
Troy would not have been captured
by the Greeks had it not been for the
surprise sprung upon the Trojans by
the gigantic wooden horse in which
Greek soldiers concealed themselves,
stealing out in the nighttime to open
the gates of the city to the Greek army.
Pyrrhus would never have gained his
victory over the Romans had he not
brought his elephants into the field.
These gigantic creatures as they plow-
ed their way through the Roman ranks
struck terror into the hearts of the sol
diers who had never before engaged in
a battle in which elephants took part.
Hannibal, the great Carthaginian gen.
eral, would never have captured one
Of the chief Alpine passes had he not
hit on the happy idea of fastening
torches to the horns of 1000 oxen,
lighting the torches when it got dark
and driving the beasts toward the Ro-
man camp. Seeing the moving lights,
the company guarding the pass thought
their comrades were in danger and
fastened to their rescue, thus leaving
the way clear for Hannibal and his
men to get through.-Pearson's.

Reconciliation.

In most families and among friends
differences sometimes arise that are
decidedly unpleasant. In nearly all
cases thes& differences spring from
misunderstanding. A time comes
when explanations, apologies and rea-
sons are In order, and reconciliation
takes place. This Is a thing much to
be desired, and when it comes wash
the slate clean. Leave no fragments,
no leftovers, to be brought up at an
other time. Wash the slate clean as
you would wipe out faulty example
Cleanse the heart Of the last drop Of
bitterness or resentment. Let love and
good will prevail. A genial spirit brings
more real happiness than a manner so
reserved as to raise doubt Of the pleas
ure of meeting, doubt that reconcilia-
ton was mutual. So forgive as to for
get. 1t has been done and can be done.
Such forgiveness wins good will and
cements friendships that fill life with
Joy. Hold yourself ready to wash the
slate clean" Journal.
