Tho Republican Organlza- L iion members who havo stood behind tho .mi 5nco It was placed In their hinds by ' Councils' leaders nro talking today of asking that tho vote be reconsidered. Falling In that. they wl" try l avo tho existing housing codo amended. Tho opposition to the substltuto bill that defeated it followed n tip that went through, tho Ilouao Just before it met at 6 o'clock yesterday afternoon, that tho GOVCmOr nua ewuiiwij uh'ujibi mi; jiiutia- ure Ho has declared for adequate hous ing' regulation, and let tho iloor leaders In the House know that If tho substltuto bill reached him he would never sign It. Tho plan to amend tho existing codo Is Already being discussed, becauso tho jnonsors of n "toothless" housing code seo llttlo chance of having yesterday's volo reconsidered. I'art of tho opposition against the substltuto measure yesterday was tho result of tho method used by tho Councllnmnlc Legislative Commlttco In seeking to repeal tho existing code and enact an entirely new law. Sovcrnl mem bers of tho Philadelphia delegation, nil Varo men, expressed the opinion that the Councllmanlc leaders could pull the "teeth" from tho codo without 'aylng themselves open to bo much criticism. An amendment to the existing law would not attract so much uttcntlon, they Argued. Tho defeat of tho substltuto bill Is tho result of a thoroi gh campaign waged for the last threo weeks by tho Blankenburg administration and the Philadelphia Housing Commission. Every member re ceived literature which, ns one country member said today, "mndo thorn feel that if they voted for tho bill they could not look a white man in the faco again." Tho country voto was enst almost ' solidly against the bill. Tho Philadelphia vote was: Ayes Aron, Arthur, Bauerlo, Beyer, Campbell, Connor, Drlnkhouse, Dunn, Gans, Graham, Gransbach, Hackctt, Hcf ferman, Lauer, Llpschutz. McArdlo, 31c Nlchol, Nleder, Perry, Reynolds, Rich ards, Rowcll, Stern; Twlblll, Vodges and Walsh. Nays Forstor, Glass, McCllntock, Wil son and Wobensmlth. Nino did not vote. Tho repealer for tho existing codo was virtually shelved after tho defeat of tho substltuto bill. Upon motion of Repre sentative Forstcr, It was held tip for further consideration. "TOOTHLESS" HOUSING BILL STRENUOUSLY OPPOSED Protests against tho reconsideration of the "toothless" bill, which Organization leaders planned to substitute for tho in operative housing law nnd which tho House defeated yesterday, have been sent to Stato Representatives by tho olllclals of the Octavla Hill Association, the larg est single owner of tenement houses in Philadelphia. Organization leaders wdio have fought the housing bill passed by tho 1913 Legislature but rendered inoperative in Philadelphia by Councils' failure to ap propriate money for the depnrtmo -t " pro stunned by tho dofeat of the substltuto bill. No. 295. Today I twns reported they would endeavor to get a reconsideration. The Octavla Hill Association's letter to tho Representatives Is as follow: ' We have learned that there are two bills. No. 201 and No, 203, on second reading in the Houso of Representa tlbes. which. If paxHi-l ' rm nl Me housing codo of July 22, 1913, P. L. No. 87S. As a company managing more than SKM.OOO worth of trnou-iits a' small houses In tho congested sec tions of Philadelphia, of which wo have a personal ownership amounting to ?19G,000, wo wish to protest strongly against these proposed bills. Tho act of 1913, which the Legisla ture passed unanimously, is pre-eminently fair to all ownors. Vo havo voluntarily maintained Its standards for years. Its provisions havo been tested and tried and aro essential to decent standards of life. Tho passage- of the proposed repeal ing bills would substitute for the hous ing code a law that is loosely drawn and dangerous. It places the power to make all rules nnd regulations In the hands of chlofs of municipal bu limia, Intend of Incorporating them In an act of Legislature. Property owners would therefore havo no fixed rule to govern them and would bo subjected to having to make costly changes each tlmo now rules wore drarted. Moreover, No. 295 contains many "exempt" clauses, that would nullify any honest effort to mako fair rules. As large property owners, falmllar with and allva to tho conditions in volved, wo earnestly nsk you to help defeat these bills.

ARMOR PLANT Senator Cites Midvale as Warring Against Government Ownership. WASHINGTON, Mnrch 1. Senator Penrose opposed tho building of a Gov ernment armor and projectile plant In a speech In tho Senate today. Ho replied to a speech by Senator Norrls criticising the Democrats for not providing for these two plants. Senator Penrose said that the Midvale Steel Company had $20,000,000 Invested in an armor plant nnd that It did not run half tlmo, and ho added that tho United States was getting Its armor plato as ciieap as any other nation. Ho spoke at great length against tho proposed Govern ment ownership. Representative W. S. Varo late last night mado an unsuccessful appeal for a separate voto on the armor plant propo sition on tho conference report on the, navy bill. "If tho 20.000-ton plant were establish ed at Philadelphia, where It could bo run most economically," said Mr. Vare, It would mean a payroll amounting to $1, 368,492.31 annually. If the smaller sized plant or tho one with a capacity of 10,000 tona were established it would mean an annual payroll of $S12,20G.83. But there would ho an annual saving to the Government amounting, probably, to more than a million dollars a year. "It Is significant that the Secretary of the Navy has repeatedly asserted that he Is unable to obtain competitive bids from the existing armor-plate companies. Tho bids have been so uniform, ho says, that he has become convinced that competitive bidding Is Impossible unless the Govern ment Itpe'f nrovldes tho competition. "Notwithstanding the fact that the Sc . pi olded this amendment we find tho confero-ss on the part of tho House opposing It, and the result Is that " '" """''ruur moderate prices, is lost "tent of and not taken advantage of by mL-ratic Congress." Mr. Vare argued that a Government plant would not drive any existing com pany out of business, but that better com petition would be the result of the es tablishment.

MILADY MAY HAVE TO LACE HER BOOTS UP THE BACK Latest Wrinkle in Feminine Footwear Presents Pos sibility of Introduction of a New System of Calisthenics. Lacing 'em up the back Is tho latest form of excrclso devised by the bootmak ers for the foolish and feminine sex. Tho conservative front lacing and the moro recent radical side lacini aie, If a promi nent shoo manufacturer Is to be believed, to give way to a rear fastening charac terized to turn that portion of the human raco which becomes addicted to them Into a set of callsthenlc experts that will mako lloudlul look like a crow-bar in comparison. Already tho saleswomen who will havo to lit customers In the new style have been thrown Into a veritable Mutter at the prospect. "Our fitting stools will be of no earth ly use whatever," say they, "and getting a woman Into a boot like that will be exactly like shoeing a horse. Perhaps we shall even bo forced to Ho prono on the floor In order to effect a. perfect fit. Alas for our poor backs-.-" The plight of the woman who buys tho boot Is no lees pathetic than that of the ono who sells It, particularly it the lat ter Is of considerable avoirdupois. A wholo new set of calisthenics, based on tho principles of those used by the ladles In the circus who can bend backward and pick up a handkerchief with their teeth, will of necessity como Into vog- e. In fact, In the opinion of those Interested In the subject, tying and untying the knots with the teeth may he vastly easier when It must bo done from tho rear than performing the Fame feat with the fingers. Before women achieve the suppleness essential to a speedy lacing, however. It SJIIItlllllllllllllllllllllllltllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllltlliiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiif: A TON OF loss.

Tho standard of home Ilfo Is the truest test of a nation's worth, "Tho Christian life nnds Its beginning in the tetnptntlons of tho home.

GARIIICK THEATRE MEETING Dr. S. S. Marquis Discusses Spiritual Sense in Lenten Sermon.

Dr. Samuel S. -Marquis, who preached the Lenten sermon of the day. "A mail's life Is measured not by years but by his ability to respond to his en vironments," Haiti Doctor Marquis. "If a man had hut one sense, say that of touch, through which to come In relation with tho world about hint, he would live a very vcsflcted life. Glvo him tho sense of licnrliipc, in addition to that of touch, mid his life would ic greatly enriched. Add a third senso and you would enable him to live a larger llfo. "Kvcry ense inerenscs the scope of our lives. "" have flvo senses. Suppose wo wero tnnl wo would be given a. sixth I'ense. How curious wo would be to know what that sixth senso would revrnl' "Hut wo havo a sixth sense. Five of our senses put us. Into possession of a knowledge of tho material world about us. Our sixth sense reveals to us a moral and n Hpirltual world. The abundant llfo depends upon tho development In us of this sixth nnnse. Life has three dimen sions, length, breadth and height. Length Is physical, brondth Is Intellectual and height Is spiritual. "Some men live a llfo of ono dimension. They live almost entirely In the physical. Others llvo a life of two dimensions, tho physical and tho mental. Others are liv ing a mora abundant life, a llfo of three dimensions. To tho physical and mental they havo added the life of tho spirit." AT OLD CHRIST CHURCH Tho Rev. rimrles C.
