A delinquency court over which Major Heaker will preside will be held In the armory tonight and the members of the companies who have been sumoned to appear will be asked to state their excuses for not partici pating in the practice, as required by law.

It will be a saving to the state, Major Dcaker explained, to build the armories. At present the stnte pays nearly $10,000 a year for armory rent.
