Theatre Tonight
Manager Zentmeyer announces that the
latest Herbert Brenon production for
Paramount, "The Little French Girl ," will
be the feature at the Hershey Central
Theatre on Thursday evening, January
21st (tonight), at 7.30 o'clock,

Sedgwick.
The story is one of Ahx Vcrvier, the
little French girl , whose mother 's mtxle of
life makes a suitable marriage impossible
for her in France. She goes to the home of

in social standards l>etween the two coun-tries
makes "The Little French Girl" high
class picture entertainment.

(No, January Thaw isn't Harry K'«
brot her)
We gaze o'er the rain-drenched city
As we pen this doleful ditty—
The wind is high
Trying to dry
The tears that the sky
In'repentence has shed,
Yesterday's fog and rain
Has cleared away again—
Still all the sky is plain
Black overhead.
The lowland is under water
Although it hadn't oughter
Be bathed right now.
We fear somehow
The hill's exposed brow
Will catch cold and be sick.
We hate this kind of stuff.
We'll take our winter's gruff ,
Let snow on vale and bluff
Be two foot thick.
There's always something to kick about,
which is a good thing for newspapermen,
smokestackers, and mules. If we get tired
of complaining about the coal strike, there
is always the price of potatoes which article
of diet is as necessary to us of Irish descent
as sauer kraut is to a Dutch uncle. Yes,
we are Irish stew. And potatoes is one
food we like nothing better than. But the
price! Oh my! We can always complain
about that. A year ago last fall we laid in
the winter's supply of potatoes early.
Later the price dropped. This year our
frenzied finances would not allow us to buy
when potatoes were cheap and now we are
paying, you know what they are, well over
three frog skins per bushel.
The Girl in Blue says she knows now
why they call us the Smokestacker. It's
because of that big black Eyetalian Briar
that brings us puffing to work every day.
But that ain't the half of it. She should
see, or rather, hear the smoke fly these
winter mornings when we have to change a
tire on the Puddle Jumper.
"Dee Jay," inquires Augusta Wind of
Skunks Corners, "I saw you driving thru
the corners today in a high powered (?)
car. If you are as poor as you would lead
us to believe, how can you afford a car?"
Well, Augusta, it's this way. We can
afford a car. That's why we are so poor.
Popular Indoor Sports
Right now, heading the list of indoor
sports in Hershey, is that of predicting
what the bonus will be.
Says Citiguy, if potatoes don't grow on
bushes, why and the heck do they measure
'em by the bushel. I always thought a
bushel of anything was the amount that
grew on one bush.
The Homeless Cur was sitting on the
trolley track, telling to a chance acquaint-ance
the story of his wanderings. "I have
had my trials", he said, "and my tribula-tions,
but I have one thing to be thankful
for. I am mighty glad I'm not a Hot
Dog—"
Just then his tale (spell it either way) was
cut short by the trolley as it passed by.
Last night we dreamed we were bank-rupt
, and our creditors came with wheel-barrows
and hauled away all out coal.
We fooled them. There was steam
heat at the poorhouse.
We really must get at it and use longer
words. Longitudinally comprehensive
constituent parts of a sentence materially
assist the columnist in efficaciously filling
the allotted space with the minimum of
time and mental exertion .
Yes, they do—not. While we are
thumbing the dictionary to find one big
word, we can write a dozen little ones
more to the pint. Rather than the last
sentence of the preceding paragraph, why
not say, A fellow ought to use bigger
words so as to get done quicker.
The American Language
We never rank a man among our friends
until we arc able, in our conversations
with him, to lay aside all verbosity and so-called
correct usage and to say what we
have to say in the simplest possible manner
without the necessity of putting into use
our vast knowledge of English Grammar.
When a friend is a real friend , he knows
his friend. He knows his friend is pro-ficient
in the linguistic art. He figures,
"Al used. to. be a school teacher. He
knows better than to say, 'ain 't,' attababy ',
'go gittim , kid' and so on. Yes, Al used
to be a school teacher. He knows his
stuff. But Al has reformed. I forgive
him all. When Al and I are talking, we
don 't use the English language. It
cramps our style . We use the good old
American language as she is sjxike by no
one who is not American."
Correct English is the thing to use on
the new acquaintance . It shows him you
arc well educated. But after you have
made a good impression on the new ac-quaintance,
if you want to make n rail
friend' of him, drop your Correct English ,
and talk American.
WUo Girl
We are sure that Cinderella
Was a girl that knew her onion ;
She would not have worn glass slippers
If she had hud a bunion.
Statistics are Asleep
Old Man Statistics has done wonderful
things, and who are we, an humble smoke-stacker,
to say him ill. But we must say
that In one resect he is asleep at the
switch. We need information on a very
important subject, and Old Man Statistics
nays ho can 't supply us. I low much more
time is used in « year by n long-legged man
than by a short-legged one In the early
morning process of pulling on the t rousers?
Perhaps some Constant. Reader will be
kind enough to supply us with the ouswer.
Some of the Hershey students who arc
studying pro|X)rtlon should be able to
work tho thing out for us.
If speed maniacs knew they were driving
to Jail , they wouldn 't be in such a hurry,

HELD UNDER AUSPICES OF HERSHEY
HIGH SCHOOL ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION
The Swarthmore Chautauqua will give a series of lectures, enter-tainments
and musical numbers in the Hershey High School on Friday,
Saturday and Monday, Jan. 22,23 and 25, afternoon and evening.
The modern Chautauqua is an outgrowth of the Lyceum movement
founded in 1826 by Josiah Holbrook. His first lyceum was organized
in answer to the need for an open forum where speakers would be free
from limitation of speaking on sectarian and political platforms. Filling
an important place in American social life, the Lyceum has rendered an
everincreasing service to democratic progress.
Their popularity is best shown by their growth and permanency.
Chautauqua is now an established institution in several thousand
towns in the United States, Canada, Austrailia and New Zealand.
The town and'community has been divided into districts and teams
of two high school pupils have been assigned to canvass the districts
for the sale of tickets. The Adult Season tickets sell for $2.00, which
admits the bearer to six different attractions. The Junior Tickets sell
for $1.00. This ticket entitles the holder not only to the activities of
the Junior Chautauqua but admission to all the sessions of the adult
chautauqua.
MARY ADEL HAYS AND ASSISTING
ARTISTS TO APPEAR HERE FRIDAY
AFTERNOON AND EVENING
Musical critics and music lovers in this
town and vicinity will have an unusual
opportunity on Friday evening, Jan. 22d
to hear some excellent vocal music when
the Mary Adel Hays Recital Company
appears. This company is headed by
Mary Adel Hays, the Southern soprano.
She is assisted by Miss Dorothy Flynn, a
coming young violinist, and Miss Edna
Hinton, a promising pianist and accom-panist.
Miss Hays and her assistants will give
two programs here. The afternoon pro-gram
will be featured by the doll scene
from "Tales of Hoffman." For this scene
Miss Hays will wear the regular French
doll costume and will add other character-istic
things in the doll episode.
Some distinctive American compositions
will also feature the afternoon program.
At night costume work will feature the
program, including the beautiful group of
Jenny Lynd, the Swedish nightingale,
numbers. This group consists of the most
popular numbers sung by Miss Lynd on her
famous American tour under the direction
of P. T. Bamum.
On this same program Miss Hays will
give a group of Spanish songs in Spanish
costume.
Miss Flynn and Miss Hinton will assist
Miss Hayes at both programs.
Arthur Walwyn Evans, who will lecture
here on the opening night of the Chautau-qua,
is highly successful, in spite of the fact
that he has been on the platform but a
ARTHUR WALWYN EVANS TO
LECTURE HERE FRIDAY EVENING
comparatively short time. He has a real
message, is very sure of his subject and
delivers it fearlessly.
In "What America Means to Me",
which is the subject of his lecture, Mr.
Evans calls the roll of the truly great, and
tears the tinsel from much of the tom-foolery
in our histories of nations. He
places grandeur where it belongs and
service above self.
Mr. .Evans came to this country from
England about 12 years ago to succeed Mr.
Edward A. Steiner, well known Lyceum
star, friend of Tolstoi and author of "The
Trail of the Immigrant", as pastor in one
of the largest Congregational churches of
southern Ohio. The call to the Lyceum
finally induced Mr. Evans to give up his
church work and he is now devoting his
time exclusively to lecturing and literary
fields.
"Give and Take" deals with the philos-ophy
of business as propounded by a the-oretical
son to his practical old dad ,wlro~ts
boss of the business who has come home
from college to help him run. It is the
rapid developments which take place as a
result of the announcement of this philos-ophy
that form the amusing situations in
the comedy-drama which will be the main
attraction of the Chautauqua on Saturday
afternoon and evening, Jan. 23d.
This play is said to produce a laugh a
minute. One person who had heard this
statement after hearing the play said that
it wasn't true; the play produced only one
laugh—but that it began soon after the
curtain rose and continued till the end of
the play. So it behooves all who like to
laugh to see it.
GIVE AND TAKE" ON SATURDAY
AFTERNOON AND EVENING
LETHE COLEMAN IN "THE
MIRACLE" MONDAY AFTERNOON
"The Miracle" is the title of the lecture
to be given here by that distinguished
platform woman, Miss Lethe Coleman, on
Monday afternoon, Jan. 25th.
Famous first on the Pacific coast as an
analyst of the emotions and ideals of man-kind,
Miss Coleman has been making new
friends for the past three years on the
circuits of the Swarthmore Chautauqua
Association.
There is a peculiar sympathetic quality
about Miss Coleman's platform presence
which at once wins confidence and endears
her to her hearers. She has a way of
saying things that links them with the
expenence of her audience so that her
appeal is practically universal.
Miss Coleman's remarks are of interest
to the men of the community as well as the
women; in fact her audiences often contain
a goodly percentage of men who are well
repaid for their time and attention by her
philosophy, humor and good common
sense.
The company appearing at the Chautau-qua
this year carries a Dunbar peal of bells
and is trained and coached by Ralph Dun-bar,
the surviving Dunbar brother.
All single admissions—75 cents.
Time of opening—afternoons, 3 o'clock
evenings, 8 o'clock.
It is doubtful if any musical feature has
ever been presented to the American
public which has won greater favor or
obtained a wider following than that of
musical bell ringing. The art was brought
to America first in the '40s by the late P.
T. Bamum.
It seems that thereafter the art fell into
disuse and it was not really perfected or
revived in any worthy way until 1989,
when Ralph Dunbar and his brother
founded the famous Dunbar Bell Ringers
at St. Joseph, Mo. These brothers went
to England and had made under their
personal supervision a peal of bells which
was undoubtedly the most complete and
most perfect set of bells ever cast.
These bells were made under their own
personal supervision by the same bell-founders
that cast the great bells of West-minster
Abbey and St. Paul's Cathedral in
London, as well as practically all of the well
known church bells of the world. The peal
embraced more than five octaves chro-matic
and through the middle register
there were as many as six bells of the same
note.
It may be interesting to know that the
largest of these bells weighed 25 pounds
and measured 16 inches in diameter.

more member* during the next few week*
with the idea of reaching the goal set for
1926. Our slogan has been "250 Members
for 1926" and we are most anxious to make
it come true and the committee is willing
to work for it, if you will help by getting
your friends interested enough to join the
fellowship."
Mrs. A. M. Hinkle, President of the
Board, made the following report:
"As I review the work fo the year 1925 I
am not going to tire you with statistics for
you have listened to the report of the
treasurer and know where we stand finan-cially.
We have been able to meet all our
obligations and to enter the new year with
a clean slate. I would like lo express my
appreciation to the members of the Board
who have worked so faithfully with me
during the year. Our work has been most
pleasant and harmonious. I also want to
thank the committee members for their
work on the various committees. But we
want 1926 to be a banner year for the
Hershey Y. W. C. A. for it Is only through
the loyal support and co-operation of its
members that this can l>e accomplished
and it rests with each member to do her
bit. If you are asked to serve on any of
the committees, just smile and say of
course I will , and then go to it with a will.
Boost the Association whenever and wher-ever
you have the opportunity. Attend
all of the Association meetings and bring
your friends for interested friends means a
larger membership and a larger meml>er-ship
means a larger community work.
In behalf of the Board of Directors, I
wish to extend to you all a most hearty
welcome, but we want to especially wel-come
our NEW members, and hope they
will find their place In the life of the Asso-ciation
and will take pleasure in* the fellow-ship
offered them. To those present who
me not mcmlxirs, we hope you will like us
so well, that you will decide to become
members and help us lo reach our 1926
quota of 250 members for 1926. Also 1
wish to extend thanks to the "Press", for
the publicity given us; to (he Hershey
Chocolate Com|«iny we extend a vote of
thanks and appreciation for their sup]x>rt
and co-o|X!ratlon in the work ; to tho ad-visors
of the Girl Reserves for their loyalty
and helpfulness ; to the House matron,
Mrs. McClure, and last but not least, to
Miss Gurney, our General Secretary,
through whose tireless efforts, the work
of the ihisI few months has been accom-plished.
I will try to give you u little idea of
the work started under her able manage-ment.
We have two active Girl Reserve
Clubs with a membership of 32. Wo have
taken tip, under the head of Extension
Work the giving of parties for tho different
depiirtmcntH In the Chocolate Factory.
During the year the building has l>een used
by the Red Cross, organized Sunday School
classes, churches, American legion, and
several school parties have Ixion held. This
is very gratifying to (he Board as it is their
wish to see tho building used more and
more as a community center. You will
hear from Miss Gurney what we are plan-ning
for tho future. "
Miss Harriot Gurney. tho General
Secretary, made tho following loiiort:
"Forward look—a look Into the future.
Are we to use glasses with near-sighted
vUion or *hill we polUh the lento* of our
far-seeing glasses and wear them. In
Proverbs we read "Where there is no
vision, the people perish". What is our
vision—is it the people just in front of us,
just those we can see or can we look far
enough into the future and visualize this
Association teeming with young life, doing
the things they like to do and at the same
time receiving those things that build
character? Can we look ahead just one
short year and see perhaps two or three
times as many here for the annual meeting
as arc here tonight? Can we realize what
it would mean to the Association and to
the community if we worked to prove our
purpose of bringing young people together
in Christian fellowship?
"When I spoke to you for the first time
last April , I believe I used the simile of "A
new broom sweeps clean " and said I hoped
it would prove a broom without missing
whisks. As you have heard the reports
tonight I believe you will think the whisks
have all been working, which is very true ,
but this also means that since we have
been faithful in a few things, God is going
to call us to a greater and bigger work with
more responsibilities which will require a
larger and broader broom, a broom with
many more bunches of whisks. No, we
cannot slop at (he vision jusl before us, we
must move onward and forwa rd .
"I wonder if many of you have given
thought to the possibilities of the work
right here in I lershey. I wish I could draw
a mental picture that would help you all
to see and realize your opjx>rtunilies. You
have already seen one group and you will
soon see another who are taking an interest
In and enjoying the fellowship that the
Association offers to all. Can you see
these groups coming together once a week,
Hitting in groups intent u]x>n the topic that
is being discussed, taking an active pint in
the discussion which usually relates to
"Life" and in some phase or another? ' Can
you see the initiative that is brought out as
these girls plan and execute their original
stunts? Do you realize the physical,
social and mental benefit to these girls as
they play together the last half hour before
going homo To go j ust a step farther—
Just a very short distance Into the future -
do you realize Ihal t hese same girls art:
going to be committee members, Board
members, officers of the Association either
here or elsewhere? Can we afford NOT lo
give them tho very best of our time , our
thouulit , our energies, our very life?
'"llien to think for a few moments of
other groups that we arc most anxious to
organize . First , the business and pro-fessional
girls, Can we think of the in-estimable
value this group would lx: to our
Association ? We need them and 1 hope
they may soon come and express a wish to
have a club of their own—-where wo miiy
get together In gcxxl fellowship -have our
discussions and g(xxl times together and
enjoy to the full (he joy of thinking, play-ing
and acting together.
Then tho Industrial group. There are
600 girls and women employed in the
factory. We have or rather are trying out
the plan of departmental parties hoping
that eventually, a group, even though
small at tho start , may look for organiza-tion.
Tho old thought used to bo "thoy
need us." That has. I>een turned com-pletely
around and wo know now that "We
need thorn." for wo hnvo realized that thoy

As the parting instructions were being

his bag and started on his initial trip.
"Good luck to you," said the sales mana-ger,
"wire us important news."
The following day this message was
received: "Reached here safely, good room

The sales manager wired back the fol-lowing
reply: "So glad, love and kisses,
good-bye."
Mr. R. E. Heath, with headquarters at
Des Moines, Iowa, sends in a clipping
taken from the Des Moines Evening
Teleeram. as follows:
For the New Year

1 pound sweet coating 2,165
1 pound almond chocolate 2,600

A calorie is the unit measure of food
value.
One of the popular and well known
manufacturers of chocolate (viz. the
Hershey Chocolate Company) puts out a
table of food values that we may well study
as we come to the new year.
A calorie is really a heat unit. Techni-cally
it is the amount of heat required to
raise one gram of water one degree, centi-grade.
Inasmuch as food produces heat and
heat sustains life, we speak of foods in
calories.
Sustaining life is just as much a scien-tific
adaptation of means to ends as any
other scientific process we have, and there
is no better reason why we should eat at
haphazard than why we should fire the
furnace at haphazard.
There is no place where the race could
economize to better purpose than in the
preparation and consumption of food.
We eat too much, we eat what does no
good, we shorten life and reduce working
capacity. And, really, there is no tempo-rary
satisfaction in overeating or in eating
what is indigestible.
If the race would give the new year to a
«oncentrated study of foods and organize
the world to eat better this would be a new
world.
Mr. Warren F. Foster, District Manager,
with headquarters at Cincinnati, Ohio,
wields a wicked pen, and in a few para-graphs
covers considerable area, and proves
that his habitation offers attractive in-ducements.
Mr. Foster writes as follows:
"With Apologies to Bert Qeiser "
A f ew years ago the writer was stationed
at Des Moines, Iowa, when Friend Bert
Geiser was in Omaha and when he moved
into the northern half of the Dakotas, he
went into the sister state of the one, South
Dakota; in which I was raised.
Well do I know those "mild" blizzards of
which he writes; and well do I know Yon
Yonson, Olaf Swenson, Andrew Anderson
and Peter Peterson and , as he says, its a
grand old section of the USA where Co-penhagen
Snuff still reigns supreme.
Likewise is the section of the country
dubbed the "Devil's Paradise" down in
Quinker 's land of tarantulas, sand (leas,
cactus and scorpions, even so Mr. Beck's
land of Moon Shine where they ask the
new comers if they 've seen the BLUE"

one degree short of paradise BUT should

"Havoc"~A Mighty
Drama of War-
Dazed Women
There are two kinds of havoc in the
William Fox production by that name
which will be shown at the Hershey Cen-tral
Theatre on Friday evening, January
22d, at 7.30 o'clock, and Saturday evening,
January 23rd, at 6.30 and 8.30 o'clock.
There is the havoc caused by war and the
havoc caused by a woman.
It is a fine, big picture from every view-point—
excellent in its conception, and well
carried out by a well chosen cast, carefully
directed by Rowland V. Lee.
The story, in brief , is of two men whose
life-long friendship is ruined by their love
for one selfish woman. She could not
decide which of them she loved, and neither
of them realized the truth—that she was
incapable of loving anyone but herself.
Circumstances made one of them a captain
and the other a lieutenant in the same
company. In a fit of mad jealousy, this
captain sent his friend into the most ex-posed
position on the line, ordering him to
hold on there, even after headquarters had
given the command for a retreat. Many
lives were lost needlessly—including that
of the captain himself, who committed
suicide. But the woman went on serenely
and "did not understand." She couldn't.
The captain is played, in a masterful
manner, by Walter McGrail, and his
young rival by George O'Brien. Margaret
Livingston has the vampire role, and
Madge Bellamy appears as a most appeal-ing
Red Cross nurse. Leslie Fenton, a
young juvenile actor, makes a minor role so
alive and compelling that he stands out
favorably among the principal players.
Others' in the cast are Eulalie Jensen,
David Butler, Harvey Clark, Wade Bote-ler
and Captain Calvert.
Hershey High Add
Two More Victories
To Their String
The fast traveling Hershey High quintet
which has hot as yet met with any reverses,
added two more victories to their string by
easily defeating the Marysville High and
Boiling Springs High quintets. Both
games were played on Saturday afternoon
at Hershey on the Men's Club floor.
In the first game, the Hershey Junior
Varsity met the Boiling Springs combina-tion
and in a few minutes after the first
tap-off the Hershey understudies had
things their own way. However, the
Hershey varsity was used in the first half
for a very short time, and in order to give
the audience a more interesting game
Coach Palmgren, of the Hershey institu-tion,
used his entire second team during
almost the entire game. •
A. Curry, a boy playing his first year in
basketball, is showing up well for Hershey,
and he displayed his ability by preventing
his man scoring a single point. He also
scored the first three points of the contest.
The final score of the preliminary game
was 42-12 in Hershey 's favor.
The Hershey High varsity met with
little difficulty in running up a large score
on the Marysville High quintet. Glenn
Stover, a forward on the Hershey team was
the outstanding star by scoring nineteen
points. The final score showed Hershey
leading by a 60-11 count. With the addi-tion
of these two victories, the "chocolate
boys have swelled their grand total to an
even-dozen victories. Scores:
