              Red Cross
Work Room
Opened
The Hershey Red Cross Rooms will be
open on Thursday of each week from 10
a. m. to 5 p. m., commencing' Thursday
January 9th, until further notice.
An allotment of work has been received
which is as follows: 50 Children's dresses,
60 Kit Bags, 60 House-wives, 10 Caps
for Layettes and 20 House Gowns.
This makes a total of 200 garments
which must be completed by February
1st. These articles are very urgently
needed "Over There" and will mean some
hard work for the members of the Her-shey
Red Cross.
Every member is earnestly requested
to make an effort to be present on every
occasion that the Rooms are open and to
help in getting the work done. It is re-quested
that all knitted articles in the
hands of members at the present time be
returned as soon as possible completed
and also all yarn unused, so that the
finished garments and unused material
may be returned to Harrisburg Chapter
not later than February 1st.
The report of the Christmas Red Cross
Drive is not yet completed, but will be
ready for publication in the next issue of
the Hershev Press.
THEODORE ROOSEVELT DIES IN
HtS SLEEP
Theodore Roosevelt, tweny-sixth Pres-ident
of the United States, and who held
that office for seven years, died at his
honjje at Sagamore Hill, Oyster Bay, N.
Y., at 4:15 o'clock Monday morning.
He was laid to rest without pomp or
ceremony in Young's Memorial Cemetery
at Oyster Bay, Wednesday afternoon. He
was buried on a knoll overlooking Long
Island Sound, a plot which he and Mrs.
Roosevelt selected soon after he left the
White House.
In the words of the clergyman who
conducted the funeral service, "America's
most typical American," known in every
corner of the earth, went to his grave as
"a quiet, democratic, Christian country-gentleman
beloved by his neighbors."
The famous American, exponent of
"the strenuous life," who had fought in the
Spanish-American War, and risked death
in hunting big game and exploring the
jungles of Africa and South America,
passed away peacefully while asleep, the
victim of a blood cloj in the lung, result-ing
from inflammatory rheumatism trace-able
to an infected tooth, from which he
suffered twenty years ago.

Were You There ?
Last Saturday the Hershey Dept.
Store had the pleasure of serving
more people and selling more merchandise
than ever before in one business day.
It was sure a big day—but then the store
has been crowded all this week. And this Friday
and Saturday will no doubt be bigger days than the
opening day of the January Clearance Sale.
That is the reason for the crowds—the biggest sale
ever held at the Hershey Dept. Store. This copy
of the 'Press has more new Clearance News.

Sid Jordan,, expert marksman, stood be-hind

off, or a glass smashed in his hand, or a
cigar slipped from his mouth, you are
seeing the real thing! In one of these
scenes in "Fame and Fortune," Sid Jordan;
with his trusty rifle, clips off a cigar not
two inches from Mix's lips. In the actual
work, this hazardous shot ...was tried no
fewer than , thre£ times. \A two-reel
