It has a Chamber of Commerce with a mem bership of 1.636, the biggest of any city of its class In the whole country. "We have been told prettv often during the post few weeks that "cities don't happen, that men make cities." And the biggest Chamber of Com merce doesn't just happen, either. It is a man's size job that has been done in Oklahoma City this week.

Members Of the commission heard with deep Interest the report of Su pervisor James R.

The commission decided to use what small funds were available for placing tennis courts on the Cottage Hill Ath letic field in good condition. No new work was planned on account of a shortage of funds. It is this shortage of money that will compel the com mission to go rather slowly in provid ing the borough with adequate recre ation facilities.

HARRISBURG TELEGRAPH SHIP BILL MAY HOLD CONGRESS Democratic and Republican Members Unable to Reach Agreement Washington, July 7. —Democratic and Republican members of the Sen ate Commerce Committee came to a parting of the ways to-day Insofar as any prospect of an agreement over the government shipping bill is concerned. Democratic Senators declared it would be impossible to draft a bill to build up the merchant marine which Re publicans would accept without sacri ficing every principle In the House bill and for which the administration stands. The problem facing: the Democrats now is to frame a measure command ing unanimous party support and to force a vote on it despite the deter mined Republican opposition. Such a course would lead, leaders realize to prolongation of the session. Demo cratic Senators will caucus again to night on the bill. Amendments being considered by the committee include a provision eliminating the secretaries of the navy and commerce from the propos ed shipping board, modifying the gov ernment ownership and operation fea ture of the House measure and a plan to make the navel auxiliary scheme the dominant feature of the bill.
