TO take. over ARMORY
City Council To Complete Arrange
ments For Putting Building
in Order

If the threatened trouble with
Mexico will have no other effect it
will give Alexandria modern up
to-date armory and a fully equipped
military company in this city. The
city has completed all of its prepara-
tions for taking over the armory on
South Royal street, and as soon as
it comes into it's possession it is ex-
pected will be put in first class con-
dition. The present building is sad
" in need of repairs and, lacks ven
tilation and sanitary conveniences.As
a result nearly all of the members of
the Alexandria Light Infantry who
are stationed there are suxering with
colds.
City council some months ago ap-
propriated $4,000 to pay the debts of
the company and secure title to the
property but it was impossible to
consummate the deal because the com
pany did not have sufficient members
to give a good title to the property.
Attorney Robinson Moncure repres-
ented the finance committe of the
city council and now that the CON-
pany is recruited up to full strength
he has secured deed;
1t is expected that the finance COM
mittee will report to city council at
its meeting to be held tomorrow night
that all details of the transfer of the
property have been completed. Coun-
ell, it is expected, will shortly appro-
pirate the money for the needed i'm
provements.
Four new recruits were added to
the company yesterday and all is in
readiness for the move to Richmond
tomorrow.

Rise in Price
of Golf Clubs
Is Threatened
The Last Straw in the High
Cost of Living Is
Soon Due.

Golfers and those persons especially
interested in the manufacture of golf
clubs. both in this country and abroad,
have suddenly awakened to the fact
that there is threatened scarcity OF
material for the making Of implements
of the ancient game. Beginning next
month golfers will have to pay more
for their clubs. 1t is alleged that hick-
DRY is becoming increasingly scarce
with the passing of each year. and both
players and manufacturers believe that
it would be the part of wisdom for the
United States Golf Association TO get
into communication with the forest SER
vice and ascertain whether or not any
thing is being done BY il looking TO the
protection of the standing timber and
the planting of new trees.
According TO a wood expert, there is
in progress a rapid destruction of hlck-
DRY on account of the extraordinary
demand for golf clubs, owing to the re-
markable growth of the game. lie as
serts that not only the wooden clubs
made in this country, but those I'M
ported from Scotch makers are shatted
with hickory shipped from the United
States. So the drain on hickory Ii
not confined to the clubs made here.
The threatened shortage in the supply
of hickory and the other woods used in
the manufacture of golf clubs has not
been overlooked by Uncle Sans timber
guardians. 1t is claimed that although
the matter has not yet been brought
TO their attention by the governing
golf body OF the country, there is such
q demand for these hard woods that
their conservation became PROPOSE
ton of serious import some time ago.
Much of the hickory, however, grows
in the Eastern and Southern portions OF
the United States, where the Federal
government controls little timber land
and the supply is left to the mercy OF
those who can see no further than the
bank account growing in proportion to
the depletion CT the hardwood forests
