              FonrNew Cottagesrat"
Hershey Ind. School
Virtuall y Completed
Dormitories Will Provide Room For
100 More Boys. Three Buildings
Completed and Fourth Will
Be Ready Within Month.
That the work undertaken, by the Her-shey
Industrial School, may be increased in
its scope, the work of constructing four
new cottage dormitories for the boys was
begun little more than a year ago. These
cottages . are now virtually completed,
adding 100 or twenty-five boys for each
dormitory, to the total capacity of the
institution.
The work upon the new dormitories,
which were erected at a cost of $43,000
each, was started on July 1, 1925, about
fourteen months ago. One of them was
completed about two weeks ago and is now
occupied.' Another was completed about
a week ago, and will be occupied on or
about the first of September, while a third
is expected to have the finishing touches
applied within the next week.* The fourth
building will be ready for occupancy in
about a month, it is believed.
Room Soon for 300 Boys
There are now about 210 boys in the
school, and when the new dormitories are
all completed the number will be increased
to about 300. . . .
Under the direction of Superintendent
George E. • Copenhaver, and staff of in-structors*
the school is fittin g the boys to
become good citizens and valuable mem-bers
of society when they grow to manhood
The Hershey Industrial School has
become a permanent institution to care
for white orphan boys, in accordance with
the deed of trust made November 15,
1909, by Milton S. Hershey and his wife,
Catherine S. Hershey. The orphan
applies to a boy whose father is dead, and
preference for admission is given first to
boys bom in Dauphin, Lancaster and
Lebanon Counties; second to those bom
anywhere in Pennsylvania, and third to
those bom elsewhere in the United States.
Remain Until They're 18
The orphans who merit it may remain
in the school until they reach the age of 18
years. They are fed plain, wholesome
food and are plainly, neatly and com-fortably
clothed, without distinctive dress.
Their physical training, receives attention
as well as their mental education, and
just a few weeks ago the cornerstone was
laid for a gymnasium which if. being erected
in memory of Mr. Hershey's mother, Mrs.
Fannie B. Hershey. . .
The school is non-sectarian, but tneir
moral and religious training is properly
looked after and cared for by the managers.
Boys between the ages of 4 and 8 years
are admitted to the institution, lne
very young boys are placed in the Kinder-garten
Cottage where they are in charge of
three house mothers. The building in
which the little children are housed was
formerly a private home. The equipment
is all in kindergarten size, including tables,
chairs, dishes, etc. Each child has aTitt e
"Bo-Peep" clothes tree and a Little
Bear" chair at his bedside. They sleep
in "Mother Goose" beds, four or five in a
room in single cribs. They go to bed at 7
p. m., and rise at 6 a.m.
Cottages Cost $43,000 Each
The fact that the new cottage dormi-tories
just being completed cost :|>4d,uuu
each indicates the attractiveness , and
comforts of the living quarters assigned
the boys. ,
The boys' birthdays are always re-membered
and the boys always get a
birthday cake with a candle and an H. 1.
S." ring or badge or some other souvenir.
The boy is an honor guest at the superin-tendent's
table on this occasion.
In addition to the usual educational
training the boys also receive vocational
training. This training includes, instruc-tion
in farming, dairying, poultry husban-dry,
fruit culture, bricklaying, JM^tecture.
automobile repairing, carpent^f»ectiani-cal
draft , electrical wiring and testing,
machine shop practice, pattern making,
printing, book composition , advertising,
composition , sheet metal working and

Elizabethville Farmer
Produced Thirteen Pigs
Weighing 2896 Pounds
Clayton Gingrich, of Hershey, Pro-duced
Litter, of Eight Duroc-Jersey
Pigs Tipping Scales at 1878 Lbs.
Pork Prices Cheaper in Hershey
Breaking all records for the last two
years in the county, a litter of thirteen
pigs produced on the farm of Theodore
Kfinger, of near Elizabethville, were
weighed Monday evening at 2896K lbs.
Mr. Klinger, by virtue of his accomplish-ment,
was admitted to the Ton Litter Club
of the State College Agriculture Extension,
whose, membership consists of alj those
farmers who have raised a litter of pigs
which at the end of six months after birth,
weigh 2000 pounds or more.
Mr. Klinger calculated the average cost
per pound of pork during the six months
was a fraction over 6 cents, or a total of
$182.88. The pigs were fed on ninety-one
bushels of corn, 1500 pounds of pig chow,
600 pounds of middlings and 4831 pounds
of skim milk.
County Farm Agent R. R. Burtner was
present at the weighing and spoke on'the
benefits of pasture feeding as an economical
feature as well as a preventative of many
swine diseases.
He said that in contrast with from 300
to 325 pounds of grain on pasture feeding,
it requires from 500 to 550 pounds of grain
to produce 100 pounds of pork on dry lot
feedin g.
Eight Pigs Weigh 1878
In another weighing on Menday on the
farm of Clayton Gingrich, near Hershey, a
Utter of eight Duroc-Jersey pigs tipped the
scales at 1878 pounds. The total cost of
producing the litter was $181.87. Harvey
Bashore and John Moyer, Jr., both of
Hershey R. D. 2, were the official weighers.
The prices quoted for live and dressed
pork by butchers to the farmers were
slightly higher in Elizabethville than in
Hershey. In the upper end of the county
16 cents live weight and 20 cents dressed
is the average, while at Hershey the prices
are 15>£ and 19 cents.

Most Popular Fashion s
Fads For The
Coming Season
Strictly Straight-Lined Dresses Are
Taboo. Skirt Lengths Continue
Short. No Certain Style
Will Reign Supreme
The silhouette for the coming season will
be extremely varied since almost every-thing
that has gone before is used in some
manner this year. No certain style will
rule supreme. Among those most promi-nent
are:
Long Moused bodices with short scant
skirts. Wide draped gypsy girdles some-times
occur about the hipline.
Boleros in various interpretations are
numerous, with tailored effects used for
evenimr frocks. Where the bolero ripples
at the bottom the skirt of the frock repeats
this swaying movement at the hem line.
Front skirt drapery used on long-bixliced
evening gowns of lace or chiffon is held up
by huge ornaments. The rear of the dress
is stra ight-lined . Front fullness is also
used in connection with bolero blouses.
For Evening Wear
Picture frocks for evening wear with
molded Ixxliccs and full gathered skirts
with irregular hem lines still continue
popular with younger misses.
Tightness about the hips suggested by
bands or wide sashes is often noted.
Arm-holes are very wide on some models,
the sleeve beginning at the waistline and
narrowing to snugness at the wrists.
Three-tiered effects on skirts are used.
Sometimes frin ge forms the tier effect.
Side skirt fullness is stressed on many
formal models as where semicircular panels
are placed at the side wai st-line and extend
in flowing movement to the hem. Macks
of most gowns are straight-lined. The
flaring back Is seldom noted. Circular
fullness extending all the way about the
skirt is also on the wane.
Straight-Line Taboo
Strictl y straight-lined dresses are talxm.
The simplest dresses have a suggestion of a
low blouse and fj ont kick pleats.
Neck lin es are round , high , V-shu i>cd
and occasionally square.
Fur is used at tlie hem of many velvet,
models. Sleeves for day wear arc in-variably
long, being either snug-lilting or
with extreme wide arm holes and narrow-ing
toward the wrists.
Skirt lengths continue short. Hem
lines may be irregular or straight-about.

How Betsy Made the Fad
(As Reported by Very Good Authority)
Said.Washington to Betsy Ross,
"The women ought to smoke,
The way they rave at us poor men
It really is no joke,
If we smoke in the parlor,
The ladies all complain.
If something isn't done right quick
I fear I'll go insane."
Said Betsy Ross to Washington,
"I'll see what I can do.
In fact, to help you out in this
I'm game right through and through.
I'm going to show the women
That they can use the weed.
I'll start a ladies' smoking fad .
Now, kid, just watch my speed."
So she took a sack of the makins
And she rolled^ cigarette,
She shaped it with an expert touch
" And she sealed it like a vet.
She lighted up and took a drag
Then exhaled through her nose,
Her lady friends about her
In horror all uprose.
But soon they all had tried it
And learned to like it, too,
And some of the more daring
Had even tried to chew.
No more are men folk bothered
By howls from women folk
Regarding smelly nicotine.
The women also smoke.
Some Bologny
We say it as though women had not
smoked more or less since tobacco's sooth-ing
solace was discovered. Don't we?
While as a matter of fact, just the opposite
is true. Women have always smoked
more or less, but now adays they smoke
more. Ask any retailer of tobacco and he
will tell you his sales of pipe and cigarette
tobacco, cigarettes, cigars and chewing
tobacco to women is both surprising and
instructive.
Yes, man's hitherto inviolate preroga-tives
are slipping away one by one like
grains of sand through lax fingers. The
average tired business man, enjoying the
company of a flapper , find s she has appro-priated
his entire vocabulary of oaths and
improved on it with variations. (Loud
cries of "How do you Know?")
If thin gs keep on going at this rate, soon
a man's only unchallenged privilege will
be washing the dishes while the ladies take
the flivver out for the air.
A Change of Partnership
Right here and now we would like to take
one of the most eventful steps in our check-ered
career, an event fraught with startling
consequences on every hand. When we
first consented to (ill a column for the
pai>er , we thou ght it necessary to drop the
eternal ego and refer to the insignificance
of the writer as "we." But even then in
this fair land and free columnists were be-ginning
to do away with false, modesty,
and refer to themselves as I's. instead of
we's. Something singular about that.
Nothing plural. They began to do away
with the idea that they were equal to three
or four men. lhey quit using "we."
They started using their eyes, we mean
I's, and they saw they had done a grea t
thin g for their country.
Today we seem to be the only nationally
read column that hides behind an editorial
we. All the others are Hying under their
true colors. St)—
September 1, 1926
The partnership hitherto existing be-tween
Dee Jay Gee and bis other self ,
hereinbefore embodied in the firm name of
We and Co., has this day been dissolved by
mutual agreement (if the parties involved .
The business will be continued at the
present address under the name of "I."
The Point of View
Away back in the dim and dusty past , I
lived on a farm which my parents rented
from a ver y agreeable and lovely old maid .
Her silver hair was combed in a pleasing
pompadour , and her speech was cultured
and refined , for she had spent inimy years
of her life in travel , and m converge with
culture d people.
Once or twice a year she used to forsake
the cul tivated ix'ople to visit the cultivated
fields, and on the occasions she paid my
parents a visit. She was always profuse in
her praise of mother 's cooking and baking
which was indeed a rare treat to one who
lived and ate as the big chic's exist and eat.
Especially fond was Aunt Alice of
mother 's home-made bread and she had
ever y reason to be, I assure you. ¦ On one
occasion after she. had consumed a sizable
quantity of "home-made " bread and
but ter and fresh applesauce, she outdid her
UHliiil self in eulogies of the stall of life,
saying it was the best "home-made " she
had ever tasted and put to shame any
baker 's bread in th e world.
Ah a matter of fact the bread was
bakers', mother having been caught com-pletely
out by Aunt Alice 's visit , which all
goes to prove the t r u t h of the saying, "It 's
all In the point of view."
It's Too Bad
It 's tough , all right , kid , but such Is the
Iron y of fulu. Nothing can stop the
march of Time and Change.
Ye,s, Ixizo , two years from now the mil -
mat ed cycHlinde you wear will be relegated
to the scrap heap of oblivion. Two years
from now it will not even be a memory.
I'eople will forget there ever was such a fad.
None of the history books, even , will
record the number of brides who wore eye-shades
at their weddings.
People won't st op to recall them. They
will be too busy chasin g some other hobby.
\S tough.

'Sally. Irene and
Mar y" at Park
Theatre Next Week
Is Story of Show Life. Romance In-terspersed
With Drama, Thrills,
Appeal and Color. Played By
Great Cast
Stories of theatrical life always register
well pictorially. Three never has been a
more vivid stage story screened than that
of "Sally, Irene and Mary," which will be
shown at the Hershey Park Theatre on
Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday of next
week.
"Sally, Irene and Mary" are three de-lightful
girls, even though Sally is a bit
cold and mercenary and jealous. She is
beautiful and wears some of the loveliest
gown creations ever seen on the screen .
There is little wonder that she is jealous of
any other girl who threatens to step in and
usurp her place in the affections of the rich
and prominent Marcus Morton.
Irene shows a decided weakness of
character, like so many girls we all have
known. A striking beauty, but a senti-mental
one whom you would like to give a
real severe talking to, or pet like a spoiled
kid sister.
Mary is the impish type of young woman
with a great deal of balance and common
sense beneath her curly head. Her sim-plicity
and naturalness make her a charac-ter
that is greatly loved from the opening
shot to the fade out.
Constance Bennett, who has come into
prominence on the screen for several note-worthy
performances of late, is cast in the
role of Sally. She is a willowy blonde
beauty who bids fair to follow in the his-trionic
footsteps of her famous father,
Richard Bennett.
Joan Crawford, a newcomer to the screen
plays the part of Irene, puts great thought
back of her work. Some of the most
poignantly dramatic scenes in the picture
fall to her. What girl has not suffered the
torment of caring for someone who does
not give her his affection in return?
Mary is a most appealing character.
Genuine and sincere, with a great sense of
humor, Sally O'Neil plays the part as no
one else could for she actually is Mary.
William Haines is the hero, jfimmie
Dugan. As a screen plumber he is riotous-ly
funny and as an actor he gives a letter
perfect performance.
Others are Kate Price, Aggie Herring,
Henry Kolker, Lillian Elliott , Sam rie
Grasse, Edna Mae Cooper, Douglas Gil-more
and Ray Howard.
"Sally, Irene and Mary" is truly a pic-ture
you can't af ford to miss. It 's based
on the famous musical comedy by Edward
Dowling.

numerous small stores, with inferior
merchandise. Hershey is enabled to
boast of a metropolitan store, which
supplies every "demand, equal to that
which may be obtained elsewhere, whether
it be Harrisburg, Lancaster or Lebanon.
Practically every need is met in its
many departments, which consist of
groceries, meats, dry goods, clothing,
haberdashery, ladies' ready-to-wear, mil-linery,
shoes, drugs, jewelry, furniture,
carpets, hardware, glassware, chinaware
and notions.
During the sixteenth anniversary every
department has contributed seasonable
merchandise at pricesa ttractivelyl ow that
will mean great savings. This sale is
tremendous in its scope, far-reaching in its
influence, with values that will make it one
long to be remembered. Be sure to read
the advertisements in this week's issue of
this publication.
The large show windows and interior of
the store have been still further beautified
for this anniversary sale. The decorations
and the displays are always clever and
original, but seemingly all previous efforts
have been outdone. The color schemes
and the displays are particularly striking
and noteworthy.
