Nil- ,t Mvroun wcll-scnttcred homes, but not ' largely given over to either manufne- taring or mercnnttle pursuits. I "The chnrncter of the two sections, their wants nnd requirements arc rad ically different. Hy the dlvlilon, the territory would pain seven school vis itor, a matter lightly recanted by some, but urged ns a matter of Importance l.v , others. "If there Is any virtue In the office of chool visitor, the commission feels that with double the number to look nftcr th Interest and welfare of the schools, a benefit must come to the community. "It was urged ns against the division thnt the ward was functioning well tin It was, and a division was not ihoch- wry. but v.c can not see tutu it division would Interfere, nnd It mlKht work to the advnntago of the citizen. Against the contention that the ward was fune- I tlonlnjr very well as It was. it n I pointed out that nt least 40 per rent of tie voters at the last election did not I Tota. It hns also been nrpicil thnt tlir I historic township of Uerinnntown would , be. divided, much bring- lost, but jour I commissioners fail to sec the force of I this argument. Line of Battle Unchanged 'The division of the ward cannot diango tho line of the Hattle of " mantown or tho location of Hie nls- torlc lanjlmnrkB of thnt battle, some of which ate lnillcntel by tnbletfl elected wtsido of the township line. It ha f.lso beeu argued that civic bodies like the Gormnntown nnd Chestnut lull Improvement Associations and tlio Oermantown Woman's Club would lost dome of their force, nnd that the lo.nl civic spirit would be divided to the disadvantage of the community. "uut this seems not t.. bo borne out by the experience of other sections of th; idty. where the ntt airs of the civic and business ass.x-lntlr.nK nre not bound by ward lines, but by general community sections, similar to this, but composed cf n number of wards, in arriving at their opinion ns to the wanner in which the division should bo made, the aim of the commission has been to draw the line in such n vny ns to lenve one portion such nil nron and population that rcdlvlsion shall not be? necessary. . , . "The southeast portion being coni- Sactly settled, nnd almost completely ereloped. and the newer development and unimproved territory being toward the north and west, the lines which naturally suggest themselves arc as fol lows: Where Change Will Be Made "neglnninrnt the intersection of the .. it nt Waahlnirton lane anil the center line of Stenton avenue, thence extending southwest niong ine whki line of Washington lane to the center line of Wayne avenue, thence south east along the center line of tt nyne venue to the center line of ltlttenhouse street to the center line of Wlssahlckon avenue. "No controversy of importance arose at anv of. the meetings, except nt Flem ing Hall, where several In attendance Tolced their displeasure and disappoint ment nt the refusal of the Commls- sloners to sprend upon the minutes the resolutions adopted by the congregation of the Mt. Airy Presbyterian Church and the Germnntown Woman's Club. "Ah the Commission was utterly In the dnrk ns to the circumstances under and also aa to whether there was any Intelligent presentation of both sides of the question at the meetings nt which they were ncted upon, and it appearing that but fifty members out of a mem bership of 600 of the Germnntown Woman's Club were present nt the meeting, the Commission felt that they bad no evidential value either for the Comralsijion or the Court." Decision Was Expected No surprise was shown by opponents of partition when told of the report of the commission. "That report does not mean nervous prostration for me." fcnld Colonel Shel don Potter. "I have anticipated all along what they would do. I do not favor partition in the Twenty-second, of course, but it was evident the com missioners did favor It before it con ducted hearings. "In fact, members expressed them selves to that effect before they started the hearings. So. when the Commis sioners favor partition, you may easily anticipate what their verdict will be. Thp mntter must so first to court, nnd there the Judge may refuse to confirm the findings of the commission. Hut never mind, the people will take care of lit In good shape." Mrs. H. S. Prentiss Nichols said. "I tara unalterably opposed to partition. This decision of the commission does not express the desire of the majority of the people who went to tro hearings before tne commission. "Partition is an unnecessary sug gestion, for the ward ns a civic unit of tha rltr no longer exists. Wo are now represented by couucllmantc districts. To make two wards here would merely tu nnlttlml excuse to send two men to the City Committee Instead of one. The 1 entire purpose of this proposal is political. Court Action Hunted "In fact. I am not o lire that the entire act of the commission's is not invalidated by the fact that one of the men who signed the petition ior parti tion sat as a member of the commission. "Ward partition is all wrong. They are talking now, rather, of consolidating small wards. Instead of dividing large ones. There can be no civic gain by the division of Germantown. you may rest assured of thnt. why. this commission at hearings refused to accept resolutions on the matter from representative civic todies of this section. This entire mat- IS ter is very distressing to me." IS William H. Emhardt, president of the U Oermantown and Chestnut Hill Im provement Association, suggested that the court might throw nut the recom mendation of the commission when the matter Is laid b of ore it for confirmation. "There must be shown a real rea en," said Mr. Krhardt. No such rea on Is shown here. It Is- a purely fac tional measure. The committee was controlled by the Vare faction. Four or fir members of the commission are iVmra followers. The reason for wanting ward divided is to leave tho upper independent section by Itself, having the Wwsr end tight for the Tares. There Is so right or Justice in the proposal. , Calls Affair Prejudged "That the commission was not of pea mind upon the matter was very .evident at the hearings, "The city committee's excuse Is a dishonest one. Since 1854 there has been no real attempt made to equalize lepresentatton upon the City' Commit- tea. They Just want to swallow this district, and: break up its Independent "I am disappointed but not sur rtwd." said Mrs. Ernent Tooaood. "I can only refer to the Injustice of the commission in not listening to big or ganizations which did not favor the f trillion. They were not willing to sten, for Instance, to the Woman's Club, of Oermantown, or allow their yrttest to go upon the minutes.

Sulzberger Liberal on Sectarian Aid Continued from race One thought which reduce the danger of 150 jenrs ago to a negligible quantity. "Indeed, it may fairly be said thnt there is In the present current of the world's thought a danger quite the re verse. "The churches hnvc been so weakened in influence thnt powerful currents of opinion are ready to nttack not only religion, but thnt morality which is the only true basis of a refined and en lightened civilization. Danger of Church Rule, Imaginary "I should therefore regard tho dan ger of a renewal of church rule ns purely Imaginary nnd illusory. We need a little more church rather than less. "No one denomination hns, under our system, obtained nny power or endeavored to obtain nny over the others. ''This, however. Is but one of the fundamental questions. "A hundred nnd fifty years ago tho interests of the ordinary man, tho poor man, were scarcely regarded as Im portant. "A little dole grudgingly given was thrown at him. and tnl was regarded as the whole duty of tho classes that deemed themselves superior. "It Is our own country which Iiof created respect for the poor who labor for the weKare of tho country, Just ns much as do those whose share of worldly goods Is larger. Moreover, it Is our own country, too, which fostered the successful movement to give them self-rftsoect. "It will, on reflection, be scarcely questioned that tho sick nnd wounded who nre too poor to pay for their relief or cure should not be allowed to lan guish or to din for thnt reon. The conclusion Inevitably follows that in this new world of ours it would bo the duty of the Stnte to provide the neces sary care. "We have, however, developed a system of private charity, unap proached anywhere, by which citizens voluntarily asmme the burden, taxing tbemwlves for the purpose. "Ah the condition of the poor nil vnripfH their claim to improved nnd enlarged hospitalM also srew. aim tne Stoto atepped in to supplement the work prl.'ntely done. "Hlmll this Improvement so on or shall It be stopped?" inquired Judge Sulzberger. "Shall the State take over the private Institutions nnd maintain them out of ths public tnxes? Shall private good will and benevolence be branded ns odious even If no abuso of public funds has occurred or has been charged? Question a Plain One "The question is a plain one. Shall rellof to the belpless be discontinued altogether or in great port; or, niter- nntivi.ir ahnll the State assume the whole function nnd pay for it out of general taxation? ... "A pessimist might fear that In the latter event a state of nffnfrs might ensue which would make this function a potent political or partisan interest ?ulte as much to be dreaded as the nnclful notion of Church control over the Stnte. "Tills question Is one for the people to decide' continued Judge Sulzberger. "One of the charges mado by thos who have been instrumental in securing the decision of the Supreme Court on this question is thnt tntc funds havo been appropriated not nlone for hos pitals, but for sectarian education," I snld. "What about that issue?" "What I have snld," continued Judge Sulzberger, with an expressive gesture, "has to do entirely with the question ns it relates to hospitals." Ttien he continued : "Of coursa, the question of educa tion l quite a different one.

This reported unanim ity increased considerably the anxiety of some of the more, extreme conserva tive Unionists, who are particularly desirous of having tho position of Ulster fully snfegunrded in whatever arrangements nre made. Austen Chnmbcrlaln, Government lender In the House of Commons, will receive a deputation of these Unionists today at the same hour Premier Lloyd George is in consultation with Mr. de Vnlera, and it is Mated that their future attitude will depend upon what they are told at this time, the viovcrnmcnt sug gestion being that if this deputation is dintisfied there may be many cessions from the coalition. Two Unionist mambers of the House ot Commons, Colonel Martin Archcr Shec nnd Colonel John Gretton already have formally withdrawn their support from the coalition as they disapprove the Government's position toward De Vnlera and the Irish republicans.

Origin of Happy Marriages To the Editor ot the Evrfilnu PubHe Lnliir: Sir A great dcel hao been said through the People's Torum column about harpy and unhappy mirrlaaes, nnd some have at tempted to show the reason for so many of the latter. While some ot their reasons mi be to th point cirrect. yet there Is one outstanding fact which none of us can be In the dark on. and that Is the lure of the dance hall. Uow many of our marriage are con tracted for through an acquaintance mado on a danoe hall floor? These people In most oases were stranger before they met In the dance hall, and many of them were married one week, two weeks or threo weeks alter meeting. la It any wonder wo have so many divorces? The dance hall Is u p'.sc of galsty. nnd the devil neer mlisea one of these occasions. Now please don't think that I m a kill joy, with a dislike for dancing, for I am quite the opposite. I enjoy dancing, nnd shall always enjoy It. but there Is danger Ir It, too. When permit our head to run away with us. It will usually stop at nothing. Bo beworo of friend you meet In dance halls. A man has a right to ask a Isdy to Cenco when he 1 In a danes hall, but that Coes not give him the right to enter Into serlou conversation with her. In many pores she Is quit willing to converse, and that is her own fault, showing her lack of dar.ee hall deportment. Better beware of marrying something you pick up on th dance hall floor. It Is risky. The best place to meet your future partner for life is anywhere but a dance hall. H. TJ. LAWRENCE). Philadelphia, July 14, 1021. The Sun'a Heat To fae Editor of the Evcnla Pub'.to Leitoer: Sir There are various theories to account for the enormous storo of heat and light la the sun. The. theory now generally accepted by physicists la that the gradual commo tion of the sun In cooling Is the chief aource ot apparent InexhausUUe energy. It has Ur. calculated at the present rate of ex penditure of heat the sun's diameter would contract four miles In a century, and In a few millions of year It may become a dense aa the earth. Tho sun Is considered to be composed of much the same material as the earth, ex-apt that they are at a mueh higher temperature About forty of the Mvmtr terrestrial element have beei Identified by the spectroscope ss existing In the vapors around ine sun. Astronomers think that they find traces there of very few rubstanoes not already known. Bran them niAv be discovered on the earth soma day. It has been calculated that the heat thrown on a square mils exposed at noon under ths equator would melt In an hour 28.000 tons of Ice, This amount nas 10 oe muiupiiea fifty million time to srrle at the quantltv ot hsat received by the earth's surface dur ing a alnrle hour.

Issuing of Warrants To ffio AMItor of Ihe .Evening Publto Ledger: Blr It would appear that there 1 a lax ity In the law of arrest when an Irrespon sible porson can go to a magistrate and get out a wnrrant against a person without tho maglstrato or other officer knowing any thing about th parson who make such an oath. Of course, the law proteota the defendant eventually, but In tho meantime ho is put to all rort of Inconvenience and expense In order to get out of and keep out of Jail. It would seem that a person wishing to ar rest anothsr person should be compelled to give some evidence a n, reason or some testimonial aa to character before a war rant should be Isaued. This would save many an Innocent man from Inconvenience and shame. Tho Court seem always too willing to Issue any warrant asked for. probably In order to keep up a semblance of business and to eIvh the lawyers and de ttcltves a chance to rake In a little money from an Innocent victim, without any tl ought of the stigma that will be attached to hla name If he Is arrested and placed be hind tha bars. 3.

PERHAPS 'Oh, there wa a little maiden and her name was Jewel Jane! The little town she lived In gav her quite a piercing pain. They had movies every Tuesday and a graveyard and a bank, Uut with all thee great Improvements, Jewel's town wa Just a tank. Now, Jewel wait a whlaier and she lived life with a vim, And there wag no one Irt HlcksvllI who knew how to dance the shim: And she grew so very lonesome living up there with tho Hicks She deolded to pack up her grip and beat it from the sticks. Her people all advised her she was making a mistake That the big town waa a gross deception and a fickle fakel Put tho maiden was determlnedl she had figured out her fate. And sho started for the city on th seven- forty-eight. A manager, he aaw her, and he put her In his show ; She was so very shapely she got right tn the flret row. Within a week she had a part 'twaa writ ten In the "book." 6he couldn't act, she couldn't danoe, but, gosht how she could look, A millionaire, he found her and asked her to take hi name. She aald "This la so sudden," but che grabbed him Just the same. And now nho ha a flock of automobiles ana a yacht: In fact, there Isn't anything the lady hasn't got. She Iujt around a bankroll that ts noted for Its heft, She hasn't been to Hlcksvllle since the fa mous day she left. Th moral of the tale Is that perhaps It Isn't true. It happened not to Mary, but perhaps it might to you. STEPHEN W. BENDER. Philadelphia, July 11 1021. The reeple Forum will appear dally In the Evmlnr Publlo Ledger, nnd also In the, Sunday.
