BUREAU BUILDS
ON CIVIC PRIDE
Chamber Campaigners
Here Different From
Others In Service

Six years ago a group of four men
came together in New York to form
the American City Bureau. This is
the organization whose representa-"
tives have been invited to aid in the
reorganization of the Amerlcus
Chamber of Commerce. The bureau
at first was REGARDED as merely an
other addition to number Of con-
Germs already engaged in "organlz-
ing" chambers of commerce. 1t
soon became apparent, however, that
the service it offered differed IN a
number of ways from the service OBJ
tainable elsewhere. The vital DIFF
ference lay in the fundamental phil
osophy on which the service was bas-
ed The other concerns were asking
men to join chambers of commerce
| because such organizations would
bring factories to town., hight rail-
roads, boom real estate, and for 9th
er similar reasons-all purely selfish.
The American City Bureau made its
appeal squarely to civic patriotism.
! It's representatives asked men to give
] their money and energy to make their
communities better places in which
to live and do business. They were
asked to enlist for the welfare of their
city in just the same spirit that men
were asked some two years ago to en-
list for the welfare of their nation.
Ensuing events have shown that
this confidence in the idealism of
Americas leading citizenship has
been justified. The bureau is today
practically the only institution of its
kind in the world. Its field staff has
grown from four to sixty-ninc. The
combined office and field stats of the
bureau and of "The American City
magazine number 115. While only
four cities engaged the bureaus serv-
ices during the first year of its exis-
tence, eighty-one used these services
during 1919. Of these, seven were
cities where the bureau had been en-.
gagged three years OF more ago. In
each of these instances, the bureau
was brought back to put through a
short intensive program of commune
ty education which had as it's object
the repledging of expiring member
ships, collection of delinquent &C
counts, and the formation of new
program of work. The bureau has
long since become an internationa
institution, and some of the most
successful of these organizations are
located in Canada.

WHAT MODERN CHAMBER
OF COMMERCE DOES

Community service has become the
ideal of the Memphis Chamber of
Commerce. Its activities are much
broader in scope than the purely
commercial and industrial work COM
pretended in its name. For instance,
it undertook last year to coordinate
all of the social agencies of the city ;
encourage home gardening and poul-
try raising; the improvement of pub
lie health and sanitary conditions; the
stimulation Of the musical life of the
city; the assistance of farmers in
the entire tri-states territory through
the development of agriculture; the
improvement of rural life conditions,
the expansion of marketing facilities
and the construction of good roads
throughout the central South.
Plans are on foot for the joint en-
pioyment of a paid secretary for the
Merchants and Manufacturers De-
partmcnt and the Trade Extension
Department. The services of this
man will be an expression of the in
terest Of Memphis merchants and
jobbers in tire Tri-State territory,
which is the trade territory of Mem
phis His time will be spent in study
ing methods of giving better service
to Memphis customers, with view to
increasing the IL illus in which Mem
phis houses do business.

STORY OF EMILY

Continued from page -

Spiker, personally won admittance to
the United States for little Emily and
her baby boy, Alfred. 1t was Cora
Spiker's rule of "do unto others" that
caused her to forgive her husband
and the English flying corps girl and
sustained her through long day of
tedious waiting at Ellis Island, beset
every minute of the time by forty
New York reporters, six women "sob
writer's" and a dozen photographers.
She furnished the money for the 81, =
0D0 bond which was necessary for the
"other woman's" release on parole,
and when Emily Knowles came out of
the detention pen with Baby Alfred
in her arms, Cora Spiker threw her
arms around her and welcomed her to
America.
Husband-To-Be There
Guy Spiker, the 25-year-old brother
of Perley, stood bashfully at a little
distance, an odd smile on his boyish
face, speechless in the anti-climax of
the most amazing romance ever en-
acted on Ellis Island For he is de-
tcrmined to marry Emily Knowles in
observance of his sister-in-law's "gol-
den rule" and give the child the name
of Spiker.
After momentary greeting, Cora
Spiker lifted the baby tenderly from
the arms of the little mother and
began elbowing a path to the New
York ferry through veritable mob
of reporters, while photographers
leaped beside and in front of her,
whirling to take snapshots on the
wing. Emily Knowles smiled and

smiled, but seemed dazed by the
warmth Of her reception.
AS the boat showed off the two wo-
men, who have lo9ed the same man,
found seats on bench near the stern,
and Guy, the bridegroom-to-be sat
down about three feet from Emily.
Move closer, Guy" a photogra-
pher yelled. He hunched over a few
inches to the rapid click of camera
shutters. Not even the Prince of
Wales was more photographed on ar
irving here than the modest English
girl and little Alfred.
For fifteen minutes the ordeal con-
tinued. Baby Alfred was photograph
ed gazing toward the shadowy blot
/ that was the Statue of Liberty. He
stuck out his tongue and the cameras
recorded that event. He rubbed his
little fists in his eyes and the cameras
renewed their clicking.
