NEW ARMORY FOR
NATIONAL GUARD
UNITS Is PLANNED
C.. of C.. Names Committee of
Military and Business Men
to Seek Site

A special committee to consider
ways and means for the co-opera-
ton of the city with the State in the
erection of suitable armory to
house the seven or eight organiza-
tions of the National Guard which
will be stationed in this city. was
announced to-day by the Harrisburg
Chamber of Commerce
Housing and the erection of a
suitable armory are the two most
important projects before the Cham
Der of Commerce for 1920, said the
president, and with the appoint
ment of this special committee both
questions will be taken up with
energy by the big commercial or
ganization during the coming year.
The State will pay for the erec-
tion of the Armory, but the site
must be furnished. by the city. Ad-
jutant General Beary has set at rest
the frequent rumors that the Com
monwealth contemplates the erec-
tion of an armory in the Capitol
Park extension zone and the Off
the necessity for immediate action
on the project.
AT present the inadequate struc-
ture at Second and Forster streets
constitutes the only armory faciIi-
ties possessed by the city. This
armory was built in 1874 through Il
stock issue subscribed by the public.
Later the building was remodeled
at cost of $4,000, with the stock
still owned by the city Grays' Arm
ory Association, a private affair. The
only money ever paid by the State
for housing the companies was an
annual allowance for rental.
The late General Thomas j. Stew
art, it is said, had in mind the erec-
tion along the railroad in the Cap
itol Park area of an armory in
keeping with Harrisburg's impor-
tance as a military center. This idea,
however, seems to have been aban-
doned.
The armory committee will meet
in the near future to organize and
outline a program of work. The
members are the following: Colonel
NJ. E. Finney, chairman; Colonel
James 3. Kemper, Colonel e. J.
Stackpole, Jr.. Lieutenant Colonel L.
II. Schell, Major Robert d. Jenkins.
Major E. j. Nicodemus, Captain
John T. Bretz. Captain II. NJ. Stine,
Captain George ]. Shoemaker. Cap
tain Josiah II. Wilbur, George A.
Hoverter, Mayor-elect. Lieutenant
Governor e. e. Beidleman. Charles
E. Covert, e. S. Herman. Gus NJ.
Steinmetz, d. r. Tracy. C. w. Burt
nett, f. J. Hall, Vance c. McCor-
mick. ]. William Bowman, William
Jennings and Al X. Thomas.
Adequate armory facilities are alb
solutely necessary if Harrisburg is
to maintain and justify its new i'm
portance as n military headquarters.
Further q proper building will serve
as convention hall and provide ac-
commodations for great civic and
social functions.

ton of the Steelton plant of the
Bethlehem Steel Company, which

partments a sa coal conservation

to belief expressed to-day by city

CHURCHES STAY
CLOSED SUNDAY:
Lid STILL TIGHT

The influenza ban on gatherings will
remain in force until after Sunday,
at least. This was determined yes
terday by DIR. B. F. Bond, commissioner
of health, when he interviewed the va
rious members of the city board of
health for the purpose of determining
whether there was a sentiment among
them for removing the restrictions
against gatherings at this time. fol-
lowing the marked decrease in the
prevalence of the disease. Dr. Bond
stated today that he found the senti-
ment of the board members unnistak-
ably for continuing the closing for the
present, and no desire on their part
to modify the regulations so as to
permit the churches to be open next
Sunday
The members of the board Of health
and the public generally, so far as I
can determine, are dead against open
ing up again until the disease is
practically wiped out" said he.
There isn't much influenza now, but
there is some. We know that closing
has been beneficial in every instance
here, and the board members feel there
is no need for re-opening until condi-
lions are such as to make it absolute
ly safe, as far as possible against a
reinfection.
Today's reports to DR.. Bond showed
five new cases of influenza in the city
yesterday and two in the county.

this public endorsement of this grand

Since the introduction in this sec

limbs; nervousness; loss of sleep and
poor appetite. There is no better
