be put on sale today. Copies may be
secured at the Law College, Armory,
Library, University Hall, and the

a day" and a half and there were many
demands which could not be supplied.
The directory this year is much bet
ter arranged than ever before. The
management have arranged it so that
all the telephone numbers come at the
end of the lines and directly under
each other, so that one may find any
number easily and quickly. The book
seems to be much more accurate this
year also, due to the fact that It was
checked over twice with the Regis
trar's lists and address books. A di
rectory of the students attending Tem
ple High is included in the back of
the book.
A few books have been bound in
leather for office use, and these should
be secured early as there are but a
few copies of them to be had.
The management wish to express
their appreciation to Mr. C. E. Benz,
who secured the campus and frater
nity telephone numbers, and also to
Mr. Glen Everts, who secured a list of
all" fraternity members and the par
ticular fraternity to which they be
longed. PHI DELTA THETA
PROPERTY INJURED
Fire Destroyes Lower Floor Caused
by Jealous Freshman Starting
Furnace.
Yesterday afternoon the fire depart
ment "answered a "hurry up" call to
the Phi Delta Theta home, where they
found the lower floor In flames. The
fire was caused by a freshman who
Btarted the furnace fire but who failed
to remove an old broken bunch of
shingles from near the furnace. These
shingles contrary to instructions de
liaered to the freshman, so he says,
caught on fire and a general conflagra
tion was the result.
The fire burned up through the floor
and badly damaged the lower floor. A
shower bath, delivered by the ener
getic flremie-n, helped increase the
damage. Lucky for the Phi Delte they
had their house insured and so can
remodel to suit themselves. They
doubtless will Install a new spanking
machine for freshmen who in the
future start things "which theycannot
finish.- ' ' '
