Ready to Move to

Committees from the Chamber of
Commerce and the Commercial Ath-
letic club are working on the propo-
sition Of bringing the newly consol-

same quarters. Practically all OF the
arrangements were made when the
two were brought together a month
ago. but there are still a number OF
minor matters that are being straight
ened out by the committees
Last week a meeting of the two
committees was held but nothing def
mite was accomplished at that time
in the way Of bringing the two to-
gether. The lease on the present quar-
tiers Of the Chamber of Commerce
in the building at the corner of La
fayette ST. and jefferson St. does not
expire until Nov. 1, but it is probable
that the office will be moved into the
Commercial Athletic building on w.
COlfaX av before that time
one of the things that is being TAX
en- up by the committee is the matter
of dropping the incorporation papers
of one Of the organizations. The new
organization will he known as the

CAMERA USERS IN
CITY ARE HALTED
High Prices Brought on by War Are
Being Felt Here by the
Film Bugs.

Enthusiastic followers of the cam
era sport, as we'll as the professional
photographers OF South Bend, are
constantly longing for a cessation of
hOstilities on the European battle
fields. Peace at any price is likely
to become the motto of these people,
when it is known that the gigantic
hubbub in Europe has sent chemicals,
which are absolutely necessary to the
development Of films. To mark that
would make John ID. ponder awhile
before investing in a camera.
Not only have the chemicals scared
in price until, in the words of the
focus. they are out of sight but
camera plates which are made for
the most part in Belgium, are also at
tempting to establish records for high
flying. And they are succeeding very
well.
There may still be some Of the in
herent picture takers of South Bend
who have lived where ignorance is
bliss, perhaps because they have
enough material on hand 60 tide them
over for a while But when their
stores run low and they go to the
corner drug store To get a fil-um or
developer the salesman will quote
them a price that will make them ask
the why and the wherefore of such a
price and make them say they don't
want TO buy the whole store.
The chemicals most needed for
developing are at "a premium these
days" said a photographer Quota
tons have advanced 200 and 800 per
cent and each new order brings higher
prices. HydrOquinOne was selling 16
months ago at So cents a pound. Now
il is "a. II is almost impossible TO
get plates from Belgium"
