              Hershey Plans To Give New
York Children a Vacation
Yoo hoo, Skinny! Look at th' cows!
Kids! Kids! and more kids straight
from the sweltering sidewalks and tene-ments
of the East Side 6f New York will
again be brought to Hershey this year.
Last year, with only two weeks prelimi-nary
work, brought to Hershey a large
consignment of Fresh Air children—fifty
of them, and if the carefully laid plans of
Mrs. Wm. C. Hackman, who has again
consented to sponsor this movement, the
number will be double this year.
Children between the apes of 6 and 13
will be brought here and it is the task of
Mrs. Hackman to find them homes for the
last two weeks of July. Persons desiring
to take the same children that they had
last year may do so by notifying Mrs.
Hackman, Hershey Inn , Hershey. Phone,
Hell. 24-Y .
Children for Tribune outings are se-lected
for the Fund by about two hundred
social service and child welfare organiza-tions
which are in touch constantly with
the population of the tenement districts.
The workers of these organizations know
the family histories and the needs of the
children they recommend to the Fund.
For each child accepted from these organi-zations,
it is required that a worker certify
over her signature that the child is poor,
that it lias been accepted by the Fund's
medical examiner, that it will have no
chance of a country vacation without the
Fund's aid and that it has not already had
a vacation during the current summer.
Fresh Air children will l)e found to be-just
children. Like oilier children they
will have their attractive and unattractive
sides. But most of them will prove to be
lovable lads and lassies apt to win the
hearts of their hosts.

Help Yourself and Paas It
The twelfth of May was Mother's Day
Ten million pounds of candy
Were sent that day to mothers who
Exclaimed, "that sure is dandy!
*My children are so very kind ;
To so remember mother—
Oh, here's a nice box from your sis,
And here is one from brother.
'The candy you may eat, you kids,
But I shall keep each token,
Each box with the sweet verses on
And they shall not be broken."
Our mothers, all the nation o'er,
Did not consume our candy.
But all agreed the verses on
The boxes were just dandy.
Last Sunday found Hershey Park filled
with twos, threes, fours, and betters taking
advantage of the nice weather, and enjoy-ing
a needed relaxation from their week-day
tasks. Here and there were parties
picknicking in the shade of the old apple
tree, or whatever for trees they chance to
be. That looks like summer anyhow. .
We would like to know how many young
men will say to as many young women in
what they consider secluded spots in
Hershey Pari? this summer, "will you be
mine? etc." We would like to know how
many of these just mentioned young meg,
will heave involuntary sighs of regret
when their female companions make haste
to answer "Sure, Mike," to these un-premeditated
proposals of marriage.
But—it is none of our business.
Tell U« Why
Why is it, if good people die young, that
so many self appointed critics of the con-duct
of others live to a ripe old age?
In our long and varied career which has
carried us through all kinds of trials and
tribulations we never met with a more
severe shock than when last Saturday
night, we bumped up against the realiza-tion
that we would have to spade; by hand
and the sweat of our brow, our more or
less than quarter-acre garden plot.
Here is where we get a chance to satisfy
that back to the soil urge which is latent
in every farmer boy who has_jnoved-to
town. We'll bet an hour^oTspading will
leave us content to be a pusher of pens,
pencils and pennies.
It will be interesting to note what effect,
if any, the spading of our potato patch will
have on the increasing waist line of Ours
Truly.
Mother—(running into Mary's bed-room),
"Goodness, whatever is the matter,
dear?
Mary: "Oh, mummy, I've just dreampt
I swallowed myself. I haven't, have I ?
"Now, Ebeneezer," said Old Lige Tate of
Skunks Corners, "I'm going to give you a
darned good piece of advice. Some day
you'll wish you had listened to what I'm
going to say to you. It's the same advice
I wish I had taken when my dad gave it to
me."
"I never saw but one fellow," said the
Man with the Wooden Leg," that I figured
had any chance foolin' around bootleg
liquor. He was with a sideshow and gave
exhibitions of eating tacks and broken
glass; and his wife was a snake charmer."
A Mitchell County, Kansas, farmer is
advertising turnips for sale at a dollar a
bushel, but E. E. Kelley says he knows of a
number of ways of getting more fun out of
a dollar than spending it for turnips.
It serves England right to get mixed up
in an industrial war. Look at how she
imposed" on the pleasure loving American
public by bouncing the price of rubber sky
high, and then setting out to disprove,
"What comes up must come down."
Days t n underwear was underwear
and the^' xture was flannel and the color
red were recalled at a recent Dry Goods
Retailers convention. Vivid red flannel
was the favorite in the old days, but among
the more exclusive classes white merino had
the call. Men looked upon medicated
flannel as a sure protection against rheu-matism.
Years ago it used to take twenty
yards of twenty-inch silk at $2 a yard for a
dress. Nowadays women buy three yards
of forty-inch width at about $3. Good
woolen hosiery in black used to be about all
that was sold. Now there are about 1800
different kinds and shades of stockings on
the market. The tight trousers of the
period mentioned made the men look like
spiders.
It is all very well for us to laugh at the
styles of the last century, but—picture to
yourself the convulsions of laughter a
twenty-first century young person will go
through with when he runs across a photo
of his great grandad in sport sweater and
balloon trousers, and grandma in knickers
by his side. "Such old-fashioned ways of
dressing," your great grandson will say,
"and they thought they were the mos-quito's
proboscis. Haw! haw! haw!"
The Power of the Pen
In a free and independent country such
as ours it seems a pity that to authors who
know how to wield a pan such unlimited
power should be given. Did you ever
think of it? Take for example any good
fiction writer. He takes the characters of
his story and does with them what he will ,
without any interference from the out-side
world, This one he plunges madly
into love. That one he sets to thieving.
He makes another false to a friend. That
one he compells to murder his wife 's boy
friend. Another he sends to his death in a
battle with the elements. Such a mighty
power he has! , Indeed it must make him
tremble as to how to use it well.
Yes* it is true that the pen is mightier
than the sword, although not all (lie in-mates
of Sing Sing seem to think so.
A Matter of Taste
Now is the time of the year when n man
must decide between a new straw hat and u
new straw lint bund.
The new straw hut band is largely
favored by the man with a family.
Take courage, readers of the Hershey
Press. An article in the Dearborn Indc-ixsndcnt
says the average life of a humor-ist
is seven years. That being the case. Ye
Smokestucker has only five years and eight
months to go yet. And that isn't taking
into consideration any of the statistics the
sellers of accident and life insurance poll-cies
give us. Wo may get knocked off
sooner. And anyway nothing is ho bad ,
but what it might be a whole lot worse.
The editor of the Hershey Press might
hire a Smokcstackcr In our place who
would put something actually funny In the
Smokestack, and you might die of shock.
"What is the most effective tiling you
know to bring an audience to tears?" ye
naked u famous actor once.
"Horseradish," ho replied .

3*9* Det J ay Qee
me tittle Tycoon"
Pleases Two
Large Audiences
"The Little Tycoon", a musical comedy,
made its bow for public approval at the
Hershey' High School auditorium on
Thursday and Friday, May 6th and 7th.
"The Little Tycoon" surpasses any-thing
that the pupils of the Hershey High
School have heretofore presented. And
their efforts were most successful, pleasing
two capacity audiences.
'The Little Tycoon" is a tuneful musical
comedy, that had numerous features. It
gave the principals every opportunity to
demonstrate their capability.
Miss Esther Magrini, as "Violet", who
is most attractive, both in person and in
the nature of her efforts , did splendidly.
Her song "Sad Heart of Mine" was parti-cularly
well done. «- ,
Miss Lois Gilman, as "Mrs. Hurricane",
provided the comedy in a breezy manner
that went well, and her efforts were well
received.
Miss Grace Lloyd, as "Dolly Dimple",
had several solos, which she sang pleasingly
Miss Louise Shay, as "Dot", didn't have
much to say or to sing, but what little she
had to do, she did it capably.
Landis Curry, as 'Alvin Barry", fitted
well in his part, as did John Gilman, as
"Rufus Reddy."
Harold Sours, as "General Knicker-bocker",
was excellent.
Roy Dundore, as "Lord Dolphin", did
not have much to do, except to "Heel and
Toe", but enacted his role creditably.
Sam Curry, as "Teddy", had the comedy
role, and his drollery proved entertaining.
The outstanding feature of "The Little
Tycoon" was the chorus work. The song
hits were sung with much spirit and went
big.
To Miss Marion Roth, supervisor of
music, goes the credit of the "putting
across". "The Little Tycoon". The musi-cal
selections were not of the light and
catchy kind, but were such that made it
quite necessary upon her part, as well as
those participating, to give much study
and endeavor.
To Miss Dorothy Mentzer, as pianist,
much credit should be given for the ex-cellence
of her work had much to do in
making "The Little Tycoon" such a
splendid success.
.-The last, but not least, was the Hershey
High School Orchestra. They did splen-didly,
and considering the heavy numbers
that was theirs, their work is all the more
creditable.
Miss Mary Hamme, of Hanover, who
assisted the Orchestra, as first violinist,
played several selections, which were
gems, proving quite well that she is an
artist out of the ordinary.
One of the biggest hits of the "The Little
Tycoon" was the dancing skit presented by
Miss Ethelyn Storey's dancing class, con-sisting
of the premiers, Vera Miller and
Esta Black, assisted by Marie Mays, Mary
Deippen, Catharine Tobias and Almeda
Nowlen. The younger group, their first
appearance, was warmly received. They
were Margaret Miller, Dorothy Balsbaugh,
Pauline Laudermilch and Kathleen Cassady
Arthur Tinney Makes
Valuable Find
There was great excitement at the
mailing desk of the Hershey Chocolate
Company on Tuesday morning, for Arthur
Tinney, generalissimo of the mailing
squad, found a new Sesqui-Centennial
2-cent stamp affixed on one of the en-velopes.
Immediately all of his able assistants,
Meryl Wertman, Foster Ulrich, Gerald
Robinson, Carlton Grace and J. Forest
Wagner, rubbed the Sandman's sand out of
their eyes, and began to look most assidu-ously
for these stamps—but there wasn't
another one to be found .
Mr. Tinney was very proud of his find ,
and for the rest of the day felt like a motion
picture star, and he is considering the idea
of framing his valuable find .
These stamps were put on sale at Phila-delphia
on Monday, and the supply, which
consisted of 1,000,000 was exhausted by
noon.
Requests for the stamps poured into the
office from stamp collectors from all parts
of the United States and Canada, in addi-tion
to the demands of persons who went
in person to the stamp windows.
Hersheyite Has Motor
Trouble on Pat 's Hill
Charles Copenhaver, one of the efficient
electricians of the Hershey Chocolate
Company, purchased a new Chrysler
ronds(cr last week, and on Saturday eve-ning,
with much pleasure and gratification ,
accompanied by one of his many girl
friends, motored to Pat's Hill in order to
view the beautiful prospect and to gaze
upon the crystal-like water in the 1,000,-
000-gallon reservoir.
Having viewed the l)euutiful scenery and
crystal-like water. Mr. Copenhaver and
his girl friend decided to return to Hershey.
However, there was a delay—for Mr.
Copenhaver couldn 't start his new Chrys-ler
car. Although he tried, yes, time and
time again , his efforts were for naught. As
a consequence Mr. Copenhaver had to
walk to the Round Barn where he tele-
R
honed for assistance, and not long after
lr. Copenhaver and new Chrysler car was
being towed to the garage.
Hard luck!

Y. M. and Y. W. associations; cor-responding

The Girl Reserve Assembly reported a
membership of fifty-six thousand teen age
girls and 800 clubs in unorganized terri-tory.
Credential committee reported 1,468
voting delegates—the balance of the three
thousand present being visiting delegates,
fraternal delegates and guests of the con-vention.
Fourteen nationalities were repre-sented
and each country was heard from
during the convention.
Miss Gurney reported it a good conven-tion
and said she hoped the members of the
Board would take some time at each
monthly meeting to study these topics that
have been suggested as of vital importance
to the best welfare of whole association
movement.
Summer plans were discussed and the
House committee reported 32 girls living
in the home, also that 13 applications have
been received for residence during the
summer months.
The Girl Reserve committee reported
that the Tri-Y Club held a sale recently at
which time they realized a profit of approx-imately
$15.00 to be applied to their
treasury toward camp expense. They
plan to have other money-making affairs in
the near future. Their conference this
year will be held at Newton-Hamilton the
last ten days in August.
The Blue Triangle Girl Reserves will
meet on Friday afternoon to make plans
for a supper they will probably have the
night of May 19th, this also to be used for
camp purposes.
The Gym classes are still meeting twice a
week and will do so until the close of school
after which the group will take hikes, have
wiennie roasts and other out-of-door
affairs.
Two committees were appointed on
Monday night to consider the organization
of two more clubs: one for business and
professional girls, and the second for
industrial girls. Any one interested in
joining either of these clubs may hear of
the particulars by getting in touch with
Mrs. Wm. C. Hackman at the Hershey Inn
or Mrs. Robert Sattazahn at the Hershey
Apartments or with Miss Harriet Gurney
at the Association.

charge of the membership picnic which will
be held in the Hershey Park on Monday,

Hershey Inn Dining
Rooms To Open
On May 30th
In the heart of Hershey, on the south-west
corner of Chocolate and Cocoa ave-nues,
is the beautiful Hershey Inn building,
designed somewhat after the old Spanish
Mission style, with projecting red-tiled
eaves with coping above. During the
past several months this building, which is
240x120 feet, has been undergoing con-siderable
remodeling, and every effort is
being made to have these completed by
May 30th (Decoration Day) at which time
its opening will take place.
As one enters the Inn one marvels at the
artistry in which these changes have been
made. It is beautifully designed, both
inside and out. In fact, throughout the
entire structure every effort was taken to
provide beauty, charm and utility.
In the spacious foyer, which will also
afford accommodation for those waiting
for the trolleys, the walls are of travatine,
an expensive manufactured fibre, rendered
fire and water-proof, of a morine finish, and
which diffuses a quiet, restful hue. The
columns are composed of the same
materials. The ceiling is of a Spanish
texture, in a stippled effect, and toned
down in hue to harmonize with the walls.
This work is being done by the Arvon Co.,
of Philadelphia, supervised by Richard
Stephens.
The floor of the foyer is of terrazza,
hard as flint and possessing the attributes
of increasing in polish and beauty in pro-portion
to the length of time which it is
used.
A broad staircase, off the foyer, with
railings of wrought iron and bronze, leads
to the second floor of the Inn, containing
100 guest rooms, with every convenience.
In the foyer, just inside the doorway, is a
built-in booth, composed of travatine.
Here one may purchase candy, magazines
and novelties.
From the foyer three entrances lead to
as many dining rooms. To the left one
enters the main dining room, paneled in
rich walnut. Illumination is provided by
large chandeliers swung from the ceiling
and by wall brackets. The main dining
room contains 17 tables. Adjoining, is the
auxiliary dining room, containing 15
tables. In the main dining room there is a
large space for dancing purposes.
The middle door from the foyer leads to
the "Dutch Room", with beamed ceilings
and high-backed seats. Illumination, is
provided by ornamental side brackets.
This room has a capacity of 40 persons.
To the right one enters the cafeteria, an
unusually large room, seating 400 persons.
The interior is painted in rich green and
cream, creating a most pleasing effect.
Not only is there an atmosphere of restful-ness
and repose in this spacious cafeteria
but in the other three dining rooms as well.
The many windows in the Inn, with their
beautiful draperies, which are most artistic
in appearance, are so placed that they not
only light the interior of the building, but
also add to its beauty by the pleasing
harmony of their placement.
The kitchen and serving pantry is com-plete
and modern in every detail. The
equipment includes all of the latest de-vices
used in the culinary art.
In all of these dining rooms good food at
fair prices will be the rule. The service
will be a la carte.
From the foyer, as well as from the
main dining rooms, stairways descend to
the comfort rooms, four in number, with
white tiled floors and walls.
A large parking area for cars has been
provided on Cocoa avenue.
The opening of the dining rooms of the
Hershey Inn will be an event of unusual
importance, not only to Hershey, but to
Central Pennsylvania, for its size, beauty
and its every appearance gives forth a
cordial invitation to the tourists to enter
and rest and dine.
With the opening of the dining rooms of
the Hershey Inn the other dining rooms in
the town, with the exception of the Her-shey
Tea House and Hershey Park restau-rant,
will be closed.
The Hershey Lumber Co. furnisfied the
lumber and mill work. The construction
work was supervised by Oscar Spancake
and James Putt, Jr. The electrical,
plumbing, tinwork and painting was done
by the Hershey Chocolate Company. The
electrical work was supervised by Ed.
Wagner; the plumbing by Harry Kieffer;
the tinwork by Elmer Deets; the painting
by A. R. Fasnacht. The plastering was
done by John Johnston, of Palmyra.
The dining rooms of the Hershey Inn
will be under the supervision of J. F.
Snavely and Mrs. Howard Shellenhamer.
American Legion To Present
"The Vanishing American"
Zane Grey's "The Vanishing American",
a Paramount picture, which is dedicated to
the American Indian, will be presented
under the auspices of the local American
Legion on Thursday and Friday, May 20th
and 21st, at the Hershey Central Theatre.
Admission: Children, 25c; adult, 50c.
The story of the Indians since the
coming of the white man has been a pitiful
tale of a once triumphant people reduced
to slavery. Their one recourse is to go on
the warpath occasionally.
The modern story opens in the winter
of 1916-17—on the Navajo reservation.
The Indian, who was as free as the wind,
has been fifty years under the "protection "
of his white conqueror, a kind of protection
that has left him a barren , desolate reserva-tion
. There is only one pleasant valley
with running water that assures the tribe
food and water for their stock.
The Indian agent is all wrapped up in
red tape and leaves most of the active
work to his crooked assistant, Noah Beery,
who lately has been condemning the best
of the Indians' horses, giving their owners
$25 apiece for them and selling them for
$100 each.
Richard Dix, the last of a long line of
chiefs, sees Beery's men taking away the
fine pony of Nasja , a 10-year-old Indian
boy, and interferes but the horse is taken
anyway. Dix complains to the agent who
testily refers him to Beery.
Dix finds Beery in the schoolyard,
forcing his attention , under the pretext of
business, upon the young white teacher,
Lois Wilson. Seeing Beery annoying Miss
Wilson, Dix almost comes to a clash witli
him. Gekin Yashi , a young Indian girl
who loves Dix although he is unaware of it ,
sees Dix and Miss Wilson together, and at
first , is jealous but the fire of her jealousy
dies down for she admires the white girl.
After school the next day, Beery enters
the schoolhouse. His attentions are re-pulsed
and he takes Miss Wilson in his
arms, attempting to-kisuJi<j r-r~~Dix , re-turning
some books, sees the attack , dashes
in , kicks Beery over and the battle starts.
Two of Beery's henchmen, passing the
school, see the fight through the window
and rush in. In a bitter fight , Dix whips
them, leaps through the window and
escapes to the hills.
A few weeks later, Malcolm McGregor,
an American army captain , arrives to buy
horses for the government 's use in the
world war. The Indians refuse to bring
in their horses, fearing they will he cheated.
Finally Miss Wilson tells the agent that
Dix is the one man who can induce his
people to bring their horses and that she
will get word to him if the agent will
promise him safety.
Two weeks later, Dix arrives at the head
of a long column" of Navajos riding horses
and leading horses. They not only sell
their horses to the government but enlist
themselves. Overseas, Dix becomes a
sergeant in the company commanded by
McGregor. Both are in love with Miss
Wilson. She herself is in love with Dix
although she does not realize it.
McGregor's company is cut off at the
front and after a white runner is killed and
McGregor severely wounded, .the latter
sends Dix across no man's land to report
the crippled company's position. Dix
makes a successful run and leads the in-fantry
to the position . While they wait
for the support of the artillery barrage, he
slips forward, brings McGregor back and
saves his life. Dix hears McGregor speak
Miss Wilson's name in such a way that he
knows the white man is in love with her.
Then the return . A little handful of
Indians, still in uniform with Dix, comes to
the agency and finds Beery in charge, the
preen fields fenced off and white men work-ing
them, the hogans falling into ruins and
the people back in the hills. Beery tells
Dix, Miss Wilson went east to marry
McGregor.
Dix finds little Gekin Yashi dead—
Beery 's fault. He goes into the hills to
pray for guidance.
Miss Wilson returns to the reservation
unexpectedly and tells Beery she is not
married to McGregor.
During Dix 's absence in the hills, his
people declare war and march on the
agency town. Dix returns in time to see
the Indians and makes up his mind to
warn the whites and try to prevent the
raid. He sees Miss Wilson and is more
anxious to save the whites.
Beery turns machine guns on the Indians
and mows them down mercilessly. Dix
runs into the street and is himself killed by
a bullet fired by Beery. This stops every-thing.
Little Gekin Yashi's father kills
Beery witli an arrow.
As Dix lies on the ground dying, he tells
his people to pp> back to^their hogans and
submit—it is inevitable. They are awed
by his words and promise to obey. Mc-
Gregor arrives—too late—with word that
Decry has been deposed as agent.
Dix dies with Miss Wilson 's and Mc-
Gregor 's loving eyes uixin him.

Deodate Road Is
In Need of Repair
We often wonder why it is that some men
want to run for an office, and after having
been elected , forget all about the duties
that they are supposed to perform .
Every time (fiat we use the Detxlate
road to Kllzabelhtown , we wonder all the
more.
The Road Supervisors certainly have
fallen asleep in this particular instance.
There are ruts and holes on this road that
are becoming almost impassable.
The road just boyonri Station No. 4 has
been in bad condition since the spring of
1925—and judging from the lack of at-tention
given to this road's upkeep the
Road Supervisors plan to let it go to pieces
entirely—just like the Horseshoe pike.
There me also a numlier of bad spots in
the road until it reaches Deodate—from
(hat ixiiiit the road is better. However,
at the bridge, on the I-ancaster and Dauph-in
County lino, the road needs attention.
The I-ancaster County road, from the
bridge, has been patched up and is in good
condition.
A couple of tons of stone and asphalt in
time would save the taxpayers a lot of
money.
We hope that the Road Suiiervisorn will
soon get on tho Job and fix up theae bad
spots.

In Hershey on Thursday noon,
"Marion Talley justified all her New
York eulogists. Her program last night
was a sensation; a thing of classic beauty.
"Marion Talley's singing is all that
could be imagined from one of her age—or
even ten years older. The moment she
began "Una Voce Poco Fa" from the
Barber of Seville, she revealed an almost
magical freedom of tone, whose only re-straint
is a certain flawless standard of
beauty. Beauty of tone was bom in her
from the sense of a perfect scale and a
natural genius for coloratura work. If
there is reincarnation she is as near as may
be Jenny Lind back again.
"There is no doubt of Marion Talley's
genius as a lyric prima donna. She has,
not merely the vocal technique and a tone
and the consummation of phrase and the
power of making a song convey its message
by becoming part of herself; but more than
all the faculty of an infinite variety of spon-taneous
moods and atmosphere. With
the glorious ingenuousness of youth she
combines the experience of singing maturi-ty
in creating lyric pictures entirely with-out
visible or conscious effort. And for
such things Marion Talley is phenominal."
All indications point to a aold-out
house before May 30th—in order not
to be disappointed in hearing Miss
Talley we would suggest that tickets
be bought NOW
Marion Talley, who will give a concert
in the Hershey Park Convention Hall on
Sunday afternoon , May 30th, at 2.30
o'clock, gave a concert in Toronto on
April 28th.
The Toronto Evening Telegram, in part,
states:
"The first few bars of Marion Talley's
song told you why the young singer swept
the great Metropolitan Opera House
audience to its feet in delightful surprise.
Such singing as her's must have seemed
like a breath of pure mountain air coming
across the footlights. Such a sweet girlish
voice is her's, lovely as the light soaring
notes of the skylark touched with the soft
mellowness of the thrush. And the joyous
rapture of her rhythms, their matchless
grace and smooth persuasiveness could
only come from the heart that is young and
loves to sing Small wonder, indeed,
that this nineteen-year-old girl has set a
continent talking. You have only to hear
her to realize how weary, stale and flat
so much of our laborously manufactured
song-making truly is.
"She is far too good for opera, its moods
are too unreal and its emotions too palpab-ly
insincere to do her justice. Jenny Lind
could do nothing with it and neither will
Marion Talley if she fulfills the promise of
her wonderful girlhood."
