SOCIETY. Fort Belvoir Dance First Of Formals Season Opened With Reception Held at Club. FORT BELVOIR, Va, September 21 —A reception and dance held at the Officers’ Club lasb night was the first general entertainment of a for- mal nature of the season here.

LIGHT PLANT VOTE OF CAMDEN VOIDED Referendum Petition Held Signed by Too Few—DLoan Not Ruled On. By the Associated Press. TRENTON, N. J, September 21.— The Supreme Court today set aside proceedings under which the city of Camden voted a referendum to con- struct its own electric light plant. The court said it appeared from the proofs submitted that the petition re- questing the referendum was not signed by the requisite number of voters. The suit to set aside was brought by the Public Service Electric and Gas Co., which said Camden proposed to construct its plant with a $6,000,000 Federal loan. Public Service attacked the right of the P. W. A. to loan money to build municipally-owned plants, but :{xe court did not rule on that ques- on. Oil Croquignole Permanent Really a $6 Value!
