Sousa To Celebrate Fourth By Opening 34th Season In Hershey Lieut. Com. John Phihp Sousa, famous bandmaster and composer, will celebrate the Fourth of July this year by opening his thirty-fourth annual tour at the head of his big band at Hershey, playing a two-days' engagement, with concerts afternoon and evening. Sousa gave the first per-performance of his third-of-a-century tour in Hershey, and there followed the most successful season of his long career. A hunch is a hunch, even with Sousa. Appropriately enough, Sousa will pre-sent the first time on the Sesqui-Centennial day of American Independence one of his three new marches. It is entitled "Sesqui- Centennial March" and in addition to its timeliness in the entire country's celebra-tion of the 150th year of the Republic, it is to be the official march of the Sesqui- Centennial Exposition in Philadelphia. As hale and as chipper as ever, the March King speeds up with the passing years. For instance, he long had been accustomed to present one new march composition each season. A decade ago he began introducing two new marches into his programs, and this year there will be three, "Sesqui-Centennial March", "Grid-iron March" and "Pride of the Wolverines March." All are "official marches." The first was written at the invitation of the Exposition officials in Philadelphia, the second at the invitation of the Gridiron Club, in Washington, of which Sousa is a member; and the third at the invitation of the City of Detroit. The Sousa Organization this year will be as large as ever and in addition to the bandsmen will include half a dozen soloists. D. B. Young People to Hold Convention at Mt.

John Elders Take Ride on Nancy Anne The John Elder Men's Bible Class held un outing Monday evening at Viilley Glen Park. The biggest feature of the evening was a ride on tlic largest steamship on the river—the Nancy Anne, whichjwas char-tered for the occasion by Irvin II. Slcsscr, who is the active committee. The class being exceptionally good at debating, dis-cussed the question aa to whether the lx>a t hud a Ford or Flint engine, when Paul Everett came to the rescue and assured the men it was not a Flint. The largest col-lection taken was by Bowman Suavely— 16 sandwiches. Owing to the strenuous vacation ex-pected when the men again assemble to work around the Manse every Tuesday evening, beginning June 22, the next class meeting will not lxi held until the second Monday in September. Those who enjoyed the outing were: G. C. Phillip, ID. C. I Hack , A. T. Ileilman , Rev. R. II. Taylor , 1"), L. Entaiilnger , John McKinnc. George II. Dressier, Irvin H. Slesscr, Prof. Ancell Mnthewnon k Elmer Gonso, Alfred Mellln , A. Bowman Suavely, John M. Stoudt, Paul L. Everett , Jacob Auchcnbacli , Walter Stnhley. Ivan L. Mease, George II. Kernsler , Elvin Fernslcr, Lester Fcrnslerand Paul R. Gingrich.

Road Supervisors , Indifferent To Road Conditions Cumberland County citizens have two more of their road supervisors up before the court on charges of neglecting their duty, says the Harrisburg Patriot, The taxpayers of Cumberland never seem to hesitate much about acting when they are convinced that the custodians of the town-ship roads are indifferent to road condi-tions. If more counties took the same progres-sive action as Cumberland in these road matters, township roads would be much improved all over the Commonwealth. [The Deodate road and the Horsheshoe pike are being permitted to go to ruin owing to the neglected conditions of the roads. In these columns we have called the attention of the road supervisors to the ruts and holes in these two roads—but, seemingly, they are asleep, as nothing has been done to repair either one of these two roads. [The new road built last year leading from the Horseshoe pike, from the Hershey Industrial School to the Deodate road, is already full of ruts and holes, with no at-tempt made to fill them in. [The charge, it is stated, by an Act of Assembly in 1925, is a misdemeanor and properly returnable to court. [We would suggest that the Palmyra Automobile Club give notice to the road supervisors to get on the job and do some-thing.) Camp No. 705 to Initiate Lar ge Class Monda y Evening Initiation of a large class of candidates into Washington Camp, No. 705, Patriotic Order Sons of America, will take place on Monday evening, June 21st, at 7.30 p. m., in the Camp Hall, corner Chocolate and Cocoa avenues. On this, the 150th anniversary year of our Independence, it is only fitting that all loyal, native Americans should give thought to the high principles and ideals of the Sons of America—the principle of true Americanism, recognizing no higher au-thority than God, striving for the highest type of American education in our public schools and the Americanization of the immigrant who comes to our shores. All patriotic Sons of America are invited to attend the initiation service, to welcome into the order, these men who have sworn allegiance to God, Our Country, and Our Flag, and to refresh themselves with the spirit of 100% Americanism. Boy Scouts Spend Night in The Open On Friday evening the Boy Scouts of Troop No. 2, of Holy Trinity Lutheran Church took an over-night hike to the farm of Willia m Seibert , near I lanoverdale. The boys left the church at 4 o'clock and hiked eight miles to the farm where they pre-pared their supper and held a campfire. Songs, stories and campfire stunts com-prised the evening's entertainment. The chirp of the cricket , the hoot of the owl and the croaking of the frogs made the night somewhat weird for the majority of the lx>ys who had never spent a night in the o|icn. After a very restless night , the boys arose at a very early hour and pre-pared a breakfast that was fit for a king. After playing a number of games, among which was a closely contested came of baseball , the boys returned to Ilershey determined fo give the over-night hike another trial in the hope that this first night would be a lesson and that the next time the darkness' and the weird sounds of the night will not disturb them from deep slumbers. Miss Elizabeth Snyder Struck by Automobile Miss Elizabeth Snyder, of Ix'hanon, was struck by nn automobile driven by Rena Fultz , of LyoriBville, on luist Chocolate avenue at noon on Saturday. Miss Snyder, accompanied by Miss Buulah Zeiglcr, of Palmyra , was about to cross the street, between the former Her-shey Cafe and the Hose House, when the automobile struck her. Shu was taken to the Hershey Hospital, where she was given treatment. She is convalescing at her home, suffering from Ixxl y bruises. Miss Zclglcr was unhurt. Miss Snyder and Miss Zeigler, are em-ployed in the credit department of the Ilershey Chocolate Co. SESQUI-CENTENNIAL COINS AT HERSHEY NATIONAL BANK The I lershey National Bank is taking a limited number of orders for Sesqui-Cen-tennial 50c coins and $2.50 gold coins. The 50c coins are sold for $1.00, and the $2.50 gold coins are sold at $3.50. There will be only a limited number sold, and the quota will no doubt be sold quickly. What Happened to Jones" at Park Theatre This Week One of the largest motion picture casts of the season appears in "What Happened to Jones," the Universal-Jewel directed by William A. Seiter, which comes to the Hershey Park Theatre on Thursday, Fri-day and Saturday, June 17, 18 and 19. Reginald Denny, who has become one of the screen's most popular stars in the past two years, heads the big cast, and is said to have one of the biggest starring parts of his career as the Jones to which so many untoward things occur. Playing opposite him is Marian Nixon, who is attaining stardom on the screen herself by leaps and bounds. This is the third consecutive picture in which she has played with the handsome Reginald. Otis Harlan has an important supporting role _as the unlucky friend of Jones who helps him get into all manner of difficulty. Harlan, incidentally, played the same role on the stage some years ago, and when he was a juvenile instead of a character actor, did Denny's part in his own stage troupe. Zasu Pitts contributes a comedy charac-terization— one of her first comedy roles since she has been identified with more serious parts. Nina Romano, recent bride of Lou Tellegen, adds her beauty to a supporting part, as does Margaret Quimby, former New York dancer now under con-tract to the Universal company. Storm Pitched No-Hit Game Against Lancaster Storm pitched brilliant ball on Saturday afternoon , pitching a no-hit and no-run game, against the J. P. Horn team, of Lancaster, Hershey winning by a score of 3 to 0. Hepting, who has pitched for Hershey for several seasons, pitched for Horn and his former team-mates liked his offerings, gathering nine hits.

It is im-possible to turn into Park avenue, for those driving west, without almost breaking the springs on one's car. We do not know who is responsible for the hump—all we know is that it is there. Neither do we know who is supposed to repair this particular aggravating piece of roadwork, the State Highway department, the County Commissioners, the Township Road Supervisors, or the Hershey Highway department. We do hope, however, that one of these departments will see to it that it is done without delay. Strawberr y Festival at Men s Club Monday On Monday, June 21, beginning at noon and continuing throughout the afternoon and evening, a strawberry festival will be held at the Hershey Men's Club, in the former Quick Lunch. The festival will be held under the auspices of the Tlcrsliey Baseball Club. Besides strawberries, there will be cakes and ice-cream for sale. All donations will be gratefully received. Drop in on Monday and cat your fill of strawberries—the boys will be glad to see you.

HERSHEY WATER CO. Storm Too Much For Royalton, But Loses to Umpire Royalton, the leaders of the Lower Dauphin County League, journeyed to Hershey on Tuesday evening with a pur-pose of playing ring-around-the-rosy with the chocolatiers, but they run into a Storm, and they lost their playfulness. If there had been a few more Storms on the Her-shey baseball team, there would have been a victory chalked up, instead of a 2-2 score, which was called on account of darkness. As it was, the score should have been 2-0, in Hershey's favor—but Hershey had not only to play Royalton, but the umpire, necessitating Storm to retire four men, instead of the customary three, in the sixth inning. Besides Storm, who pitched a brilliant game of ball, who had control, speed and everything, and who cannot only pitch. but is there with the big stick, there were two other players who were on their toes— Leithiser and Zimmerman. Leithiser played a topnotcher game— with an excusable slip-up in the sixth inning, and seemed to be the only man on the team who could be heard—giving out a chatter that showed he was in the game to win—all the others seemed to have ton-silitis. We like to see a spirited team in the field. Zimmerman caught a splendid game, and he made a "hot dog" slide for home in the third inning that brought all the fans to their feet. Bomgardner put up a good game at third. All that "Bummy" needs is a little more confidence, and a little less stiffness, and he will be a pillar of strength to the chocolatiers. Miller was on the sick list, and he was missed, especially in the batting line-up. The batting on Tuesday evening, with a few exceptions, seemed listless and without any pep. Some of the players were "out" before they got to the plate.

The Man Upstairs at Park Theatre Next Week English literature and folklore is as full of accounts of ghostly visitations, ghastly apparitions and other grisly horrors of the supernatural world as England is full of ancient mouldering castles, and horrible damp-walled old dungeons. Such a dun-geon and such apparitions enter quite prominently into the story of Warner Bros.' production of 'The Man Upstairs" starring Monte Blue and. directed by Roy Del Ruth, which will be shown at the Hershey Park Theatre on Monday, Tues-day and Wednesday, June 21, 22 and 23. The Man Upstairs" is an adaptation by E. T. Lowe of Earl Derr Siegers' famous story, 'The Agony Column. It has its setting in London and includes in the cast, Dorothy Devore, Heinie Conklin, John Roche, Eve Southern, Helen Dunbar, Otto Hoffman, Carl Stockdale, Stanley Taylor and Arthur Thelasco. Great care was taken that the atmos-phere of the dungeon sequence should be absolutely authentic and the action effec-tive. Besides the usual methods of por-traying . such a situation, silhouette was most satisfactorily resorted to. Some of the best work of this type ever done on stage or screen is said to be incorporated in 'The Man Upstairs." It is a thrilling, fast-moving melodrama with a piquant and intriguing love story, and many of the relieving comedy touches for which Mr. Del Ruth is so famous. Big Carnival at Camp-belltown Beginning Saturda y. June 19th The Campbelltown Fire Company will hold a carnival beginning Saturday night, June 19th and to continue every other night until Saturday, July 3d. The pur-pose of the carnival is to raise funds to complete payments for the new 300- gallon Hahn pumper that the Company recently purchased. Amos F. Geesaman is chairman of the committee, and he, with all of the members of the committee, and a goodly number of up-and-doing firemen, have been working like troopers getting everything in readi-ness for the carnival. The carnivals held in the past have been humdingers, but this one, oh, boy, it is going to be. some carnival! There will be something doing every minute, and val-uable prizes are going to be given away every night. Moreover, there will be concerts every night of the carnival—and by regular bands, as follows: Saturday, June 19, concert by the Pal-myra Band. Tuesday, June 22, concert by the Palm-dale Band. Thursday, June 24, concert by the Hum-melstown Band. Saturday, June 26, concert by the Pal-myra Band. Tuesday, June 29, concert by the Union Denosit Band. Thursday, July 1, concert by the Palm dale Band. Saturday, July 3, concert by the Per severance Band, of Lebanon. Vacation Bible School Opens The Community Vacation Bible School opened Monday with a total of 117 present, the largest attendance of anyone day in the history of the local organization. About thirty additional children were enrolled and it is hoped the parents will see that their children get to the school as early as pos-sible and receive the advantage of the full program. Plans are considered by the committee to follow up those children enrolled, but not attending, so the records of the school may be clear. The children are divided into four groups and are in charge of Rev. A. G. Nye, Miss Bertha Belser, Miss Kathyrn Weltmer and Mrs. Norman Stable. There is plenty of room for additional pupils and it is hoped more children will avail themselves of this opportunity.

DaUies Bridesmaids, tripping your way to the wedding, Arms full of daisies and eyes full of glee Why did you pluck the daisies blowing . On the lea. Daisies gold with the gold of their girlhood. Wafting their kisses away on the wind! Why did you gather them up in armfuls, Was it kind? White are your dresses, as white as the daisies'. Tenderer, sweeter, are you than they; Did then their beauty make you jealous, Did it, pray? Tripping all gaily the leafy pathway. Kiss the gold flowers and kiss the red bride, And she will press them over the beating In her side. Bridesmaids, romping the road to the wed-ding, Happy the daisies you plucked for the bride. Were I one of them, I should be happy To have died. Freddy Scored One Bobby and Freddy were discussing the relative prowess of their two big brothers. Said Bobby: "My brother rows stroke on his college crew. I suppose you didn't know that?" Freddie was not much impressed. He replied promptly, "What of it? My brother is too big to get into the boat. I suppose you didn't know that." They Made It Interesting Says the Modem Girl, what in the World would we young folks have done for amuse-ment if the reformers hadn't made drinking interesting as both an indoor and outdoor sport? Tough on the Foliage Says the Village Sheik, Dee Jay, you certainly are a distinct detriment to your community. Last night you were walking through the park smoking your nicotine atomizer and this morning I noticed, "The leaves they were withered and sere." If that pipe treats you the way it treated the leaves, your lungs must have a copper lining. No wonder you "draw on" your pipe for ideas. Getting There The swimming pool is forging ahead in the popularity contest. How an Account of Monday's Hail-storm Will Sound to our grandchildren. Martha and Jazzabel, in your short and rapid careers it has been your fortune, has it not, to witness the fall of hailstones? We thought so. But you can bet your last chew of tobacco they don't have the weather nowadays that we used to years ago. Why when we wrote the fillin s for the Smokestack in Hershey back in 1926, they had a hail storm that was a hailstorm. Ice came down in chunks so big that a single stone had to be shaped down before we could fit it in the old side-icing refrig-erator. When the storm was over, the ground looked like the movie of Amund-sen's Arctic expedition of that period trying to "take off" from the northern ice fields. Many houses were demolished and every building in town had to be equipt through-out with new windows. That day the number killed by hailstones exceeded the number accounted for by autos. You never saw a hailstorm like that, did you Martha? Or Jazzabel? We thought not. They don't have the weather nowadays that we had years ago, P'tu! Fraud Detected A small boy at Traverse City collected money by sitting on the sidewalk with his cap pulled over his eyes and a cup beside him, playing blind. The game was all up, however, as soon as a professional blind beggar say him at it. —Detroit News Many Already Have Them After all, it's a good thing that chivalry died out. Men might be expected to offer women their jobs. Compensation Somebody, says the Kid, is always tak-ing the joy out of life. About the time fathers are converted to the use of safety razors and are persuaded to throw away the razor strop, they quit wearing sus-penders and start wearing belts, which , after all, are an excellent substitute for razor strops in the training of the young. The Impossible Golden Mien The proprietor of the grocery store at Skunks Corners noticed a woman com-filaining to his assistant. After the lady md left , he asked his clerk, "What was site complaining about?" "The long wait ," explained the clerk. "Well," remarked the philosophic grocer, "you can't please some people. Only yesterday she was complaining of the short weight." He's in Town Have you met him? If not, you will. When the What D'ye Know guy left for the summer, the Is It Hot Enough for you pest moved into town. Where the "Mac" came In "Yes, I'm rather a mixture. My father was English, my mother, French. I was born on an American ship off Naples, and MacPlierson 's my dentist. " "What 's MncPherson got to do with it?" "Well, that makes me of Scottish Ex-traction. " Something Seemed Lacking A small boy was looking at the bust of his grandfather—a bust mounted on a little circular stand. Having asked his mother if his grandpapa was very wise and good, he added: "And was that all there was of grandad?" Says the Willnge Wit. a billy goat may have his faults. We all have. He may not be a pleasant dinner partner , but he knows how to use his head. Speaking of Billy Goats, that reminds us of the not dog stand between P<xlunk and Gobbler's Knob, bearing the name Button Inn.

The accident took place near the eastern approach of Main street. His car was demolished. Dr. Hostetter was found in an un-conscious condition. He was taken to the Hershey Hospital, and then removed to the Lancaster General Hospital, only regaining consciousness sometime during the after-noon. He had fractured his skull and it was thought that an_operation would be necessary. However, later developments proved this to be unnecessary. We are glad to inform our readers that his condition is favorable, and the hope is given that he will fully recover in several weeks. Little Stanley Kline Has Narrow Escape Stanley Kline, 6-year-old son of Mr. and Mrs. Robert Kline, of South Cocoa avenue, was struck by an automobile driven by Paul Hershey, of Hershey R. F.

The only injury sus-tained was the slight skinning of the boy's right foot, which had been wedged under the right-hand front wheel of the auto-mobile.

Sousa To Celebrate
Fourth By Opening 34th
Season In Hershey
Lieut. Com. John Phihp Sousa, famous
bandmaster and composer, will celebrate
the Fourth of July this year by opening his
thirty-fourth annual tour at the head of
his big band at Hershey, playing a two-days'
engagement, with concerts afternoon
and evening. Sousa gave the first per-performance
of his third-of-a-century tour
in Hershey, and there followed the most
successful season of his long career. A
hunch is a hunch, even with Sousa.
Appropriately enough, Sousa will pre-sent
the first time on the Sesqui-Centennial
day of American Independence one of his
three new marches. It is entitled "Sesqui-
Centennial March" and in addition to its
timeliness in the entire country's celebra-tion
of the 150th year of the Republic, it is
to be the official march of the Sesqui-
Centennial Exposition in Philadelphia.
As hale and as chipper as ever, the
March King speeds up with the passing
years. For instance, he long had been
accustomed to present one new march
composition each season. A decade ago
he began introducing two new marches into
his programs, and this year there will be
three, "Sesqui-Centennial March", "Grid-iron
March" and "Pride of the Wolverines
March." All are "official marches." The
first was written at the invitation of the
Exposition officials in Philadelphia, the
second at the invitation of the Gridiron
Club, in Washington, of which Sousa is a
member; and the third at the invitation of
the City of Detroit.
The Sousa Organization this year will be
as large as ever and in addition to the
bandsmen will include half a dozen soloists.

being exceptionally good at debating, dis-cussed
the question aa to whether the lx>a t
hud a Ford or Flint engine, when Paul
Everett came to the rescue and assured the
men it was not a Flint. The largest col-lection
taken was by Bowman Suavely—
16 sandwiches.

when the men again assemble to
work around the Manse every Tuesday
evening, beginning June 22, the next class
meeting will not lxi held until the second
Monday in September.

Road Supervisors
, Indifferent To
Road Conditions
Cumberland County citizens have two
more of their road supervisors up before
the court on charges of neglecting their
duty, says the Harrisburg Patriot, The
taxpayers of Cumberland never seem to
hesitate much about acting when they are
convinced that the custodians of the town-ship
roads are indifferent to road condi-tions.
If more counties took the same progres-sive
action as Cumberland in these road
matters, township roads would be much
improved all over the Commonwealth.
[The Deodate road and the Horsheshoe
pike are being permitted to go to ruin
owing to the neglected conditions of the
roads. In these columns we have called
the attention of the road supervisors to the
ruts and holes in these two roads—but,
seemingly, they are asleep, as nothing has
been done to repair either one of these two
roads.
[The new road built last year leading
from the Horseshoe pike, from the Hershey
Industrial School to the Deodate road, is
already full of ruts and holes, with no at-tempt
made to fill them in.
[The charge, it is stated, by an Act of
Assembly in 1925, is a misdemeanor and
properly returnable to court.
[We would suggest that the Palmyra
Automobile Club give notice to the road
supervisors to get on the job and do some-thing.)
Camp No. 705 to
Initiate Lar ge Class
Monda y Evening
Initiation of a large class of candidates
into Washington Camp, No. 705, Patriotic
Order Sons of America, will take place on
Monday evening, June 21st, at 7.30 p. m.,
in the Camp Hall, corner Chocolate and
Cocoa avenues.
On this, the 150th anniversary year of
our Independence, it is only fitting that all
loyal, native Americans should give
thought to the high principles and ideals of
the Sons of America—the principle of true
Americanism, recognizing no higher au-thority
than God, striving for the highest
type of American education in our public
schools and the Americanization of the
immigrant who comes to our shores.
All patriotic Sons of America are invited
to attend the initiation service, to welcome
into the order, these men who have sworn
allegiance to God, Our Country, and Our
Flag, and to refresh themselves with the
spirit of 100% Americanism.
Boy Scouts Spend
Night in The Open
On Friday evening the Boy Scouts of
Troop No. 2, of Holy Trinity Lutheran
Church took an over-night hike to the farm
of Willia m Seibert , near I lanoverdale. The
boys left the church at 4 o'clock and hiked
eight miles to the farm where they pre-pared
their supper and held a campfire.
Songs, stories and campfire stunts com-prised
the evening's entertainment. The
chirp of the cricket , the hoot of the owl
and the croaking of the frogs made the
night somewhat weird for the majority of
the lx>ys who had never spent a night in
the o|icn. After a very restless night , the
boys arose at a very early hour and pre-pared
a breakfast that was fit for a king.
After playing a number of games, among
which was a closely contested came of
baseball , the boys returned to Ilershey
determined fo give the over-night hike
another trial in the hope that this first
night would be a lesson and that the next
time the darkness' and the weird sounds of
the night will not disturb them from deep
slumbers.
Miss Elizabeth Snyder
Struck by Automobile
Miss Elizabeth Snyder, of Ix'hanon, was
struck by nn automobile driven by Rena
Fultz , of LyoriBville, on luist Chocolate
avenue at noon on Saturday.
Miss Snyder, accompanied by Miss

Cafe and the Hose House, when the
automobile struck her.
Shu was taken to the Hershey Hospital,
where she was given treatment. She is
convalescing at her home, suffering from
Ixxl y bruises. Miss Zclglcr was unhurt.
Miss Snyder and Miss Zeigler, are em-ployed
in the credit department of the
Ilershey Chocolate Co.
SESQUI-CENTENNIAL COINS AT
HERSHEY NATIONAL BANK
The I lershey National Bank is taking a
limited number of orders for Sesqui-Cen-tennial
50c coins and $2.50 gold coins. The
50c coins are sold for $1.00, and the $2.50
gold coins are sold at $3.50. There will be
only a limited number sold, and the quota
will no doubt be sold quickly.
What Happened to
Jones" at Park
Theatre This Week
One of the largest motion picture casts
of the season appears in "What Happened
to Jones," the Universal-Jewel directed by
William A. Seiter, which comes to the
Hershey Park Theatre on Thursday, Fri-day
and Saturday, June 17, 18 and 19.
Reginald Denny, who has become one of
the screen's most popular stars in the past
two years, heads the big cast, and is said to
have one of the biggest starring parts of his
career as the Jones to which so many
untoward things occur.
Playing opposite him is Marian Nixon,
who is attaining stardom on the screen
herself by leaps and bounds. This is the
third consecutive picture in which she has
played with the handsome Reginald.
Otis Harlan has an important supporting
role _as the unlucky friend of Jones who
helps him get into all manner of difficulty.
Harlan, incidentally, played the same role
on the stage some years ago, and when he
was a juvenile instead of a character actor,
did Denny's part in his own stage troupe.
Zasu Pitts contributes a comedy charac-terization—
one of her first comedy roles
since she has been identified with more
serious parts. Nina Romano, recent
bride of Lou Tellegen, adds her beauty to a
supporting part, as does Margaret Quimby,
former New York dancer now under con-tract
to the Universal company.

game, against the J. P. Horn team, of

There's a Bad Hump
On Chocolate Avenue
There is a hump on West Chocolate
avenue, at the Park avenue intersection,
that is as big as a camel's back. It is im-possible
to turn into Park avenue, for those
driving west, without almost breaking the
springs on one's car.
We do not know who is responsible for
the hump—all we know is that it is there.
Neither do we know who is supposed to
repair this particular aggravating piece of
roadwork, the State Highway department,
the County Commissioners, the Township
Road Supervisors, or the Hershey Highway
department. We do hope, however, that
one of these departments will see to it that
it is done without delay.

Storm Too Much
For Royalton, But
Loses to Umpire
Royalton, the leaders of the Lower
Dauphin County League, journeyed to
Hershey on Tuesday evening with a pur-pose
of playing ring-around-the-rosy with
the chocolatiers, but they run into a Storm,
and they lost their playfulness. If there
had been a few more Storms on the Her-shey
baseball team, there would have been
a victory chalked up, instead of a 2-2 score,
which was called on account of darkness.
As it was, the score should have been 2-0,
in Hershey's favor—but Hershey had not
only to play Royalton, but the umpire,
necessitating Storm to retire four men,
instead of the customary three, in the sixth
inning.
Besides Storm, who pitched a brilliant
game of ball, who had control, speed and
everything, and who cannot only pitch.
but is there with the big stick, there were
two other players who were on their toes—
Leithiser and Zimmerman.
Leithiser played a topnotcher game—
with an excusable slip-up in the sixth
inning, and seemed to be the only man on
the team who could be heard—giving out a
chatter that showed he was in the game to
win—all the others seemed to have ton-silitis.
We like to see a spirited team in
the field.
Zimmerman caught a splendid game,
and he made a "hot dog" slide for home in
the third inning that brought all the fans
to their feet.
Bomgardner put up a good game at
third. All that "Bummy" needs is a little
more confidence, and a little less stiffness,
and he will be a pillar of strength to the
chocolatiers.
Miller was on the sick list, and he was
missed, especially in the batting line-up.
The batting on Tuesday evening, with a
few exceptions, seemed listless and without
any pep. Some of the players were "out"
before they got to the plate.

The Man Upstairs
at Park Theatre
Next Week
English literature and folklore is as full
of accounts of ghostly visitations, ghastly
apparitions and other grisly horrors of the
supernatural world as England is full of
ancient mouldering castles, and horrible
damp-walled old dungeons. Such a dun-geon
and such apparitions enter quite
prominently into the story of Warner
Bros.' production of 'The Man Upstairs"
starring Monte Blue and. directed by Roy
Del Ruth, which will be shown at the
Hershey Park Theatre on Monday, Tues-day
and Wednesday, June 21, 22 and 23.
The Man Upstairs" is an adaptation by
E. T. Lowe of Earl Derr Siegers' famous
story, 'The Agony Column. It has its
setting in London and includes in the cast,
Dorothy Devore, Heinie Conklin, John
Roche, Eve Southern, Helen Dunbar, Otto
Hoffman, Carl Stockdale, Stanley Taylor
and Arthur Thelasco.
Great care was taken that the atmos-phere
of the dungeon sequence should be
absolutely authentic and the action effec-tive.
Besides the usual methods of por-traying
. such a situation, silhouette was
most satisfactorily resorted to. Some of
the best work of this type ever done on
stage or screen is said to be incorporated in
'The Man Upstairs." It is a thrilling,
fast-moving melodrama with a piquant
and intriguing love story, and many of the
relieving comedy touches for which Mr.
Del Ruth is so famous.

humdingers, but this one, oh, boy, it is
going to be. some carnival! There will be
something doing every minute, and val-uable
prizes are going to be given away
every night.

Vacation Bible
School Opens
The Community Vacation Bible School
opened Monday with a total of 117 present,
the largest attendance of anyone day in the
history of the local organization. About
thirty additional children were enrolled and
it is hoped the parents will see that their
children get to the school as early as pos-sible
and receive the advantage of the full
program.
Plans are considered by the committee
to follow up those children enrolled, but
not attending, so the records of the school
may be clear.
The children are divided into four groups
and are in charge of Rev. A. G. Nye, Miss
Bertha Belser, Miss Kathyrn Weltmer and
Mrs. Norman Stable. There is plenty of
room for additional pupils and it is hoped
more children will avail themselves of this
opportunity.

DaUies
Bridesmaids, tripping your way to the
wedding,
Arms full of daisies and eyes full of glee Why did you pluck the daisies blowing .
On the lea.
Daisies gold with the gold of their girlhood. Wafting their kisses away on the wind!
Why did you gather them up in armfuls,
Was it kind?
White are your dresses, as white as the
daisies'.
Tenderer, sweeter, are you than they;
Did then their beauty make you jealous,
Did it, pray?
Tripping all gaily the leafy pathway.
Kiss the gold flowers and kiss the red
bride,
And she will press them over the beating
In her side.
Bridesmaids, romping the road to the wed-ding,
Happy the daisies you plucked for the
bride.
Were I one of them, I should be happy
To have died.
Freddy Scored One
Bobby and Freddy were discussing the
relative prowess of their two big brothers.
Said Bobby: "My brother rows stroke on
his college crew. I suppose you didn't
know that?"
Freddie was not much impressed. He
replied promptly, "What of it? My
brother is too big to get into the boat. I
suppose you didn't know that."
They Made It Interesting
Says the Modem Girl, what in the World
would we young folks have done for amuse-ment
if the reformers hadn't made drinking
interesting as both an indoor and outdoor
sport?
Tough on the Foliage
Says the Village Sheik, Dee Jay, you
certainly are a distinct detriment to your
community. Last night you were walking
through the park smoking your nicotine
atomizer and this morning I noticed, "The
leaves they were withered and sere."
If that pipe treats you the way it treated
the leaves, your lungs must have a copper
lining.
No wonder you "draw on" your pipe for
ideas.
Getting There
The swimming pool is forging ahead in
the popularity contest.
How an Account of Monday's Hail-storm
Will Sound to our grandchildren.
Martha and Jazzabel, in your short and
rapid careers it has been your fortune, has
it not, to witness the fall of hailstones?
We thought so. But you can bet your
last chew of tobacco they don't have the
weather nowadays that we used to years
ago. Why when we wrote the fillin s for
the Smokestack in Hershey back in 1926,
they had a hail storm that was a hailstorm.
Ice came down in chunks so big that a
single stone had to be shaped down before
we could fit it in the old side-icing refrig-erator.
When the storm was over, the
ground looked like the movie of Amund-sen's
Arctic expedition of that period trying
to "take off" from the northern ice fields.
Many houses were demolished and every
building in town had to be equipt through-out
with new windows. That day the
number killed by hailstones exceeded the
number accounted for by autos. You
never saw a hailstorm like that, did you
Martha? Or Jazzabel? We thought not.
They don't have the weather nowadays
that we had years ago, P'tu!
Fraud Detected
A small boy at Traverse City collected
money by sitting on the sidewalk with his
cap pulled over his eyes and a cup beside
him, playing blind. The game was all up,
however, as soon as a professional blind
beggar say him at it. —Detroit News
Many Already Have Them
After all, it's a good thing that chivalry
died out. Men might be expected to offer
women their jobs.
Compensation
Somebody, says the Kid, is always tak-ing
the joy out of life. About the time
fathers are converted to the use of safety
razors and are persuaded to throw away
the razor strop, they quit wearing sus-penders
and start wearing belts, which ,
after all, are an excellent substitute for
razor strops in the training of the young.
The Impossible Golden Mien
The proprietor of the grocery store at
Skunks Corners noticed a woman com-filaining
to his assistant. After the lady
md left , he asked his clerk, "What was
site complaining about?"
"The long wait ," explained the clerk.
"Well," remarked the philosophic grocer,
"you can't please some people. Only
yesterday she was complaining of the
short weight."
He's in Town
Have you met him? If not, you will.
When the What D'ye Know guy left for
the summer, the Is It Hot Enough for you
pest moved into town.
Where the "Mac" came In
"Yes, I'm rather a mixture. My father
was English, my mother, French. I was
born on an American ship off Naples, and
MacPlierson 's my dentist. "
"What 's MncPherson got to do with it?"
"Well, that makes me of Scottish Ex-traction.
"
Something Seemed Lacking
A small boy was looking at the bust of
his grandfather—a bust mounted on a little
circular stand. Having asked his mother
if his grandpapa was very wise and good,
he added:
"And was that all there was of grandad?"
