COMMERCE CHAMBER
ADDS FAMOUS NAMES
Largest Institutions of the City
Among 5000 Members Re-
ported at Luncheon.

The names OF Philadelphia's greatest
business and manufacturing institutions
figured as new members OF the greater
Chamber of Commerce when the results
OF the last week of campaigning by the
reorganizing teams was reported today at
a luncheon in the Belevue-stratford.
The Baldwin Locomotive Works. the
Midvale Steel Company, the Wanamaker
store and others well known to Phila-
delphians are among the organizations
which will be represented in the new
chamber The luncheon today marked the
close of the post-campaign work, which
began last Friday when the systematic
covering of the city in the interests of the
Greater Chamber movement was con-
cluded
One of the greatest triumphs in the work
of reorganization occurred yesterday
with the decision of the Merchants and
Manufacturers Association that It's en-
tire membership shall join the Chamber
of Commerce.
The Merchants and Manufacturers AS
sociation is the first of the Philadelphia
trade bodies to merge with the Chamber.
Others will follow its lead, 1t is expected.
Five thousand is the number estimated
by leaders in the campaign as the result
of the campaign. There were already
0ElU new III lue CldlnD Del
when the four days of active campaign
ing ended a week ago with a lunchen at
the Adelphia. Since then the three-men
teams of prominent business men have
been "free-lancing." The method has been
even more successful than the other.
Plural memberships, by which firms
are represented twice or more in the re-
organized chamber, have been gained in
greater numbers since the teams chose
their own fields and covered the city in
their appeals for the greater chamber.
The formation OF the new trade bureaus.
by which the reorganization officers will
develop the chamber into a powerful
force for business expansion, will follow
the meeting today. With the new mem
berships and the increased income re-
sultng from their dues. the chamber will
he in a position to undertake active work
for the advancement of Philadelphia, the
members believe.

patented by Bill Harrison, the well-known
angler.
The scoop Is made of steel, and is sunk
In the water on two long chains The
chains are attached to a universal crane,
which is carried on a boat. One of the
chains operates the lid of the scoop, while
the other drags the scoop along, The in
terror of the scoop is coated with beef
juice and sulphur. and as 1t plunges
through the water, appetizing odors are
emitted. This attracts the fish They
peep in the scoop TO see what its all
about, and the lid Immediately goes down.
You may ask how does the fisherman
know when the scoop has fish in it,"
They can tell by the weight on the boat
and when they find the pulling is getting
harder,
In a short trip from ShackamaXon street
wharf to Riverton. the club caught 97l
pounds of perch, weak fish and catties
The new device will also be used on Sun
day, and the fellows with the poles and
lines along the wharves better bring some

will follow the scoop.

When you go fishing you take a pole
and reel and wind up your line when YOU
get a bite. You probably have a hook on
the end OF your line with bait on it, and
occasionally get a fish. Well, you're
wasting time. If you doubt it,, join the
Fish Liars Club.
Members OF the club were out today
on the Delaware pulling up fish by the
hundreds For the first time they used
the automatic magnetic scoop. This de-
vice is just what the name implies. 1t
attracts and then captures. Further
more, 1t enables the fishermen TO catch
hundreds of small fish alive, and this
marks the beginning of a new era for the
club. After sorting out all the large fish
for feasting purposes the small fish will
be sold as aquarium pets Many Della
ware sunfish have a decidedly blonde
tinge and could readily pass for goldfish.
Members of the club believe If they are
kept In fresh clean water they will never
tarnish.
