Armory Closed
Great CONSERVATION among members
Of Phi Delta Kappa and the younger
social set was occasioned Tuesday by
the closing of the local armory, pre-.
sumably upon orders Of officials at
Columbus The fraternity doubtless
will take the matter up with Governor
Cox to ascertain the reason for this
action
Several months ago when Company
F, Third regiment, o. N. G., was mus
tered out of service because its num-
Der has fallen below the standard, the
building was closed to public use.
Former County Representative Swan,
however. interested himself and was
instrumental in having 1t re-opened.
The local Phi Delta chapter had been
In charge since then, using 1t as quar-
tiers and for accommodating social
dancing parties.
