PUBLIC AMAZED AT
QUICK RESTORATION OF
BROAD ST. STATION
Pennsylvania Efficiency Demonstra-
ted Following Devastating Fire.
Travel Now At Normal.

Prompt initiative and energy COM
mensurate with the greatest rail-
road corporation in the world have
been shown by the Pennsylvania in
the marvelously rapid restoration of
the Broad Street Station to public
use. On Friday evening of last week
a nearly normal tide of travel was
passing through the main building.
No one who did not view the appalling
devastation wrought in the gigantic
trainshed by the fire can appreciate
the wonderful achievement in recon-
structing the tracks and platforms in
three or four days.
Coordination Of engineering skill
and direction appear to have risen
superior to an emergency that could
scarcely have been foreseen. At a
time when a shortage Of both labor
and materials for construction might
have been supposed to hamper the
one rations, the Pennsylvania Railroad
has been able to mobilize it's resources
in workmen and assemble enormous
quantities of lumber, iron, steel, rails
and miscellaneous supplies. Thereby
the maximum of work is pushing
night and day to the end that there
n4ay be minimum of public incon-
venience.
Not only Philadelphia, but the
millions of people who are served by
main arteries Of travel which con-
verge at Broad Street Station, should
appreciate this enterprise. Most of
the present work is necessarily tenn
porary, but so far is this fact from
reducing the credit due to the officials
who have conducted the work, that it
establishes the high sense Of duty to
the public which brooked no delay in
providing a remedy for the wide
spread inconvenience caused by Mon
day mornings disaster.
Would a Government bureaucracy,
bound with red tape, have been SINH
::larly equal to the task?

gross tonnage of 59,956, the Levia-

chapel Monday morning to hear a
most interesting talk given by Mr.. A.
Hoyt Miller, who is Mrs. w. E.
Monts' brother. For several years he
has been missionary in Africa, work
ing in the Belgian Congo.
Mr.. Miller first read few passages
OF scripture and talked to the stH
dents about Running the Race OF
Life" He then told us of many inter
esting customs practiced in Africa,
what the natives ate, what they wore
and the kinds of homes in which they
lived. And he related several humor-
Gus incidents, showing that people
are mistaken when they think mis-
sionaries have "all work and no
play"
All the students were benefited by
the talk, which was one OF the best
and most interesting that we have
