              "Mary y
\ Big Hit of the Season,
at Pa rk Theatre This Week
"Mary , the George Cohan musical hit
which the Sherwood Players present at the
Hershey Park Theatfte on Thursday, Fri-day
and Saturday of this week, is a show
that is witty, pretty and full of snappy
dances and songs.
The story of "Mary " deals with the
adventures of Jack Keene, an attractive
young American, played by Jimmie Demp-sey,
who joyously starts to solve the
problem of the high cost of living. A
portable and detachable house, to outwit
the rent profiteers, is a part of his scheme
and the plans are perfected by."Mary", a
daughter of a college president. This
demure and lovable part is played by Miss
Katherine M. Bauer, of the Sherwood
Players.
The plot deals with a rich widow, played
by Miss Louise Baer, and which will give
her a chance to sing all the hits of the show.
When the widow suddenly finds herself
bereft of her fortune she sets out to capture
the rambling emotions of Jack Keene and
is about to wed him on that theory, think
ing of course 'that he is sole heir to the
Keene fortune.
Monsieur Marceu, a French inventor,
the man that interested Jack in the portr
able houses, is a great comedy part and is
played by Wesley Barney .
Ralph Crabtree has a splendid part as
Tom and plays opposite of Miss Baer. He
has some splendid singing and dancing
numbers. Then, there is the butler, who
adds to the comedy, which is played by
Eddie Watrous.
The story is told in two acts. The first
is laid during the month of January, show-ing
a reception hall in the Long Island
home of Mrs. Keene. The second takes
place during the rose days of June in a
beautiful garden. Jimmie Dempsey, the
director, and Mario Badillo, the scenic
artist, are making every effort to give
"Mary" a setting of beauty and color that
will make a wonderful appeal to the eye.
There will, of course, be a special chorus,
under the supervision of Miss Maye Blais-dell
and the' orchestra under the direction
of Fred Pronio, will be augmented for the
occasion so that the whistleable melodies
of "Mary." will register and attain just as
much popularity as they did during the
30 weeks run at the Knickerbocker Thea-tre,
New York City. Among the most
prominent songs may be mentioned "The
Love Nest", rfMary", "Waiting", "My
Home in Kansas" and a score of others.
After seeing the presentation of this
success, no one need wonder why this
show packed the theatres in Boston,
Philadelphia, Chicago and New York for
months and months. It 's a speed demon
among musical comedies and if you catch
your breath during the action of "Mary"
that's your own fault.
Also, as an added attraction, there will
be Vod-Vil specialities between acts. Miss
Sherwood will present her famous vaude-ville
act that she played over, the Keith
Circuit for years and was featured at the
New York Winter Garden, "Vision La-
Flame". Miss Vera Miller and her
"Hicks", which include Misses Mary
Deppen, Ruth Frehn, Marie Mays and
Katherine Dopias, and will also be a
feature act.
The cast will be as follows:
Mary Katherine M. Bauer
Mrs. Keene Nina Howell
Madeline Louise Baer
Jack Keene Jimmie Dempsey
Tom Boyd Ralph Crabtree
Gaston Marceau Wesley Barney
Mr. Goddard Richard Fopte

Hershey Baseball Team Wins
and Ties Over the Week-En d
Hershey boosted their percentage over
the week-end by defeating the Robesonia
nine on Saturday afternoon on the Park
diamond in an interesting game by the
score of 7 to 2, and battling Ephrata on
their home grounds to a 3 to 3 tie in an
eight inning game, which was called on
account of rain.
In Saturday 's game the hard-hitting
Robesonia team got to Wagner for a hit in
the first and second inning, but no score
resulted. In the third however they
scored two runs on a pass and three hits.
After the third , Wagner settled and held
his opponents to three scattered hits during
the remainder of the game. Hershey
touched up J'. Marinitz for hits in the first
three innings and bunched three hits in the
fourth , but fast fielding kept Hershey
from scoring. Hershey opened up their
fireworks in the sixth and evened the score
on four hits coupled with several damaging
errors by Smith. Keeping right after the
visiting pitcher, the locals clouted out (our
hits in the seventh which netted them four
runs and sewed up the old ball game..
Hershey should have been returned a
winner by a 3 to 2 score in their tilt with
Ephrata on Sunday at Ephrata , but a
glaring error in decision by umpire Sho-walter
at second after Ream had caught P.
Doremeus by at least two feet on an at-tempted
steal cost Hershey the game.
The Chocolatiers secured all their runs in
the first inning by Retting to Sherid for
four hits. After Miller skied out to led ,
Disney singled over third . Angle was out
on a fly to left , but Alber t knocked out a
single past second. After driving out a
foul that would have easily cleared the left
field fence had it been a fair ball , J. Smith
connected for a sizzling double over Xeclers
head, scoring both Disney and Albert.
Ream kept up the good work by singling
to right scoring Smith. In the second
Hershey collected three hits and should
have scored but poor base running kept
them from denting the rubber. After the
second, Hershey was practically helpless
before Sherid's'curves and went hitless the
remainder of the game. With Storm
working nice, the three run lead looked big
enough to win but Ephrata secured one in
the third on a error followed by a hit and
tied in the seventh on three hits and the
bad decision of the umpire.. With an
Ephrata man on second and one, out in the
eighth , a downpour of rain broke up the
game at three apiece. '

U. B. Men 's Bible
Class Enjoys Outing
Near Dillsbur g
The annual outing of the Men s Bible
Class of the United Brethren Church , was
held on Saturday afternoon at the Resl-awile
Inn , near Dillsburg. About fifty
men made up the party and as in former
years this outing was a success. The
main feature of the day was a baseball
game between the "hatties " and the
"Skinnies. " Although they put up a still
fight , the "Skinnies " had to how to the fat
opponents , who with their extra ixmndagc
back of their blows ixmnded out a !) to 7
victory. Zeutmeyer and Monigardner did
the battery work for the winners while
Monroe Stover and Cyrus Carman per-formed
for the losers. Another feature
was a quoit pitching, match in which John
M. Gordon and William Blinker proved
the champions. Next on the program was
a sumptuous chicken and wnlllc supper al
the Restawile Inn , in which all the partici-pants
batted 1,000 or over. "Sykes"
Gainum and Kd. l larkins , however , must
have been fasting for several days, for (lie
way "lliein " boys put away the walllcs
was a wonder to behold. Probably had
the baseball game been played after supper
"Sykes" would have been on the winning
side. After the supper toasts were re-scinded

The Widder Jones was lonesome on
That Sunday afternoon
She longed for male companionship—
'Twas in the month of June—
And strange to say that very day
Deacon Grimes left his cocoon.
He stepped out of his character,
For he was lonesome, too,
He hitched old Dan at Jones' fron t gate
And said, "Marie, would you
Be interested in a ride
If you've nothing else to do?"
The Widder took his bid so quick
It startled him somewhat ,
ing—Eats too-Many Cookies, or some
other exciting front page stuff.
Says the Man with the Wooden Leg,
"Some of these here flappers runnin'
around town all painted up like a circus
Wagon must believe in that paint manu-facturer's
ad, 'Save the surface, and you
save all.' "
A Yankee, a Scot, and an Irishman were
talking about close races.
Said the Yankee, "The closest race I
ever saw was a horse race. It was at the
county fair. And the winner led by a
nose."
Said the Scot, "The closest race I ever
saw was between two yachts. One yacht
had just been painted, and won by the
thickness of this coat of paint."
Said the Irishman , "Well , men, I've seen
some close races myself, but the closest
race I ever saw was the Scotch."
When we look around and sec the dam-age
done by the flood of Saturday nigh t
and Sunday morning, we don't feel in the
mood for being funny.
We'll wager there was a lot of sick
people Sunday morning, owners of auto-mobiles
damaged by the high water , owners
of homes damaged or destroyed , farmers
whose crops were ruined. However, these
folks probably took their losses more
cheerfully than did the fellows whose
fishing plans were upset by the rains.
"Well to make a long story short," says
the story teller , "the hero wins the heroine,
and the villain gets his just deserts."
But when a fellow has a column to fill up,
he is not interested in making a long story
short , but in making a short story long.
One of Ye Smokestacker 's most consis-tent
failings is his habit of putting off till
to-morrow morning what he hates like
heck to do to-night. According to his
usual custom, then , Ye Smokestacker
went to l)ed the evening before the morn-ing
the Smokestack was due at the printery
with less than half of his stuff rolled off.
When the alarm banged this A. M., he
ixmnccd on it , like a hawk grabbing a
chicken , silenced the thing, and took one
more sncx>ze. However, his mind must
have been pretty active after his long
night 's rest , for in this last snooze he
dreamed a dream, a real he-man 's dream.
He stood with Admiral Peary, lexiking
across a vast, expanse of Arctic waste,
across mountains and valleys covered
with ice and snow. And far , far in the
distance they could faintly discern a huge
totem pole ,
"I guess that 's the North Pole, isn't it .
Admiral ," inquired Ye Hmokstucker of
Admiral Peary.
"Yes, I'll bet a cooky it is," replied the
Admiral In some excitement , "and there 's
Hea|) Big Chief Winter stirring up the
weather for his share of the year.
"Let 's go, brave Admiral! What do
you say?" suggested Ye Smokestacker,
witlumthusiasm .'
"All right . Dee Jay Gee," sJilcl Peary,
"but it 's seven hundred and fifty miles at
least , and don't you think we ought to eat
a bite of breakfast , and have your Missus
pack us a little lunch before we set out on
our hike?"
Right, then Ye Smokestacker Ixmnded
out ol bed for the second and lust time, He
started writing his stuff for the column ,
while the Missu s prepared breakfast for
two. This got his gout.
"Say, where aim the heck is Admiral
Peary going to sit? That 's a line way to
treat a guest , not give him any breakfast. "
"I don't see anything of Admiral Pwu y",
said the Missus. "Wad I better call a
doctor , or do you think you will feel better
after breakfast?"
Graduall y, Ye Smokestacker emerged
from his Irish Free Slate of mind, enough
to realize that ll was all ri dream, but , oil,
what a drcnml
"What must I do to be shaved ," in-quired
the bacliwotxlmrmn who hud nevei
been in a Ixtrber shop before.
Solemn Thought
One sweetly solemn thought
Comes to me now and then:
How can I make my money lust
Till pay day comes again?
He helped her in the buggy, for
The Widder weighed a lot-
Three hundred pounds, and poor old Dan
Had hard work to reach a trot .
The Deacon's buggy springs were weak,
And on Maria 's side
The buggy settled down so far
That 'though the Deacon tried ,
I Ie couldn 't keep from sliding down
Toward her to save his hide.
So they sat close, as close friends will ,
And let the old horse ixike,
The Deacon first would spin a yarn ,
And then would tell a joke,
The Widder hung with her whole weight
On every word he spoke.
These two kept steady company
For a whole year al least ,
The Deacon would slide toward Marie
As though the seat were greased,
The buggy tilted more and more,
And old Dan grew thin , lxxir beast.
Old Dan would look with pleading eye,
As Grimes his hide would curry,
Would look with eyes that seemed to say,
"I'm awful thin , Grimes, hurry!
I can 't haul her around much more."
And old Grimes would say, "Don't
worry. "
It was one moonlight evening
When Dan had stopped dead still .
And nibbled at the tender grass
Until he had his (ill ,
Grimes said , "Marie , please marry me."
And she said, "Of course I will. "
She gathered Grimes into her arms,
The buggy gave a groan ,
She said , My precious little Ixiy,
At last' you are my own. "
Just then the buggy springs gave way,
And they fell out on some stones.
It tickled Dim to see the naii-
Aw they limped slowly home,
While he tugged patiently liehind ,
(No more the curry comb
Would straighten out his shaggy mane,
In green pastures he would roam,;
Though Dan was glad their court in'days
Were <xii' , for he was lxiny,
I'Voni dragging such a heavy load ,
And onl y lit for Ixilogny,

Old Grimes in matrimony,

Of Penna. Highway Patrolmen
patrolman will be able to perform the four
fundamental operations of addition, 'sub--
traction, multiplication and division and
handle fractions satisfactorily.
For the examination of learners the
patrolmen are required to know the correct
answer to each ol the thirty questions,
which questions have been published at
various times, In making examinations
it is stressed that physical defects of appli-cants
which might hamper them in operat-ing
a car should be diligently watched for.
Of equal importance is the skill with which
the applicant handles the car. At this
point it should be mentioned that the first
duty of the examining patrolman is to see
that the applicant's car is in good condi-tion
in regard to brakes, lights, etc.
Instructing" regarding headlights covers
focusing and tilting necessary to secure
proper illumination.
Physical drill covers not only parade
After the inception of economies in-stituted
by the Pinchot administration the
number of men in the State Police Depart-ment
was, due to increasing traffic, able to
handle only imperfectly the work of crimi-nal
investigation and traffic 'regulation,
says "Motor Mention." Consequently
the Highway Patrol, with a personnel of
155 men was established. After a course
of, training, the patrolmen on January 15,
1924", made their first appearance on the
highways.
Previous to the organization of the
Patrol there was no unified effort to curb
reckless driving and to enforce justice
against various types of offenders against
motor laws. Efforts to promote safety on
the highways were sporadic. Here regu-lations
were enforced, there they were not
and life and property were much too little
respected .
Thorough training is required of all
patrolmen, with training quarters located in
Hershey. The period covers two months
following this:

The subjects covered are Criminal
Procedure, Motor Law, Geography, Arith-metic,
Examination of Learners, Head-lights,
Physical Drill and Personal Hy-giene,
Motor Care and Operation .
In Criminal Procedure the men are
taught how and under what conditions to
obtain and serve warrants, proper pro-cedure
at hearings and how to secure and
submit evidence.
In covering the Motor Law it is ex-plained
in its entirety paragraph by para-graph,
court decisions quoted, etc., with
the rights of the motorist fully explained
and the necessity for respecting these
rights impressed on the pupils.
The course in Geography covers the
territory within the boundaries of Pennsyl-vania.
The men are taught the location
and relation to each other of political sub-divisions
of the state, important rivers,
mountains and towns; also the most
expeditious routes in covering territory
between various points, so that they can
more intelligently perform their work and
give definite information when it is re-quested
by the public. Ability to read
maps is of course a necessary qualification
of a patrolman. The course in mathe-matics,
while not requiring the equivalent
of a high school course, insures that the
formations but involves also something of
genuine interest to the public—a course in
First Aid. A motorist who is injured and
is fortunate to meet a Highway Patrolmen
can feel sure of securing intelligent First
Aid for his injuries. Physical dnll re-quires
one hour each Monday and Friday.
The personnel of the Patrol was last
year 155 men, a number inadequate for
the work to be done, so that patrolling the
highways was not as well taken care of as
it will be this year with a personnel of 215
men. These 215 consist of one captain,
four lieutenants, 60 examiners and 150
patrolmen. Among the patrolmen are
included 28 non-commissioned officers,
consisting of 8 sergeants and 20 corporals.
The 60 examiners are located at fifteen
different places, three "non-car" places—
Philadelphia, Pittsburgh and Coudersport
—and twelve places at each of which a car
with two to six men is stationed.
The equipment of the patrol was selected
because it was thought to be best suited to
the work, and consists of 150 motorcycles
with side cars, and twelve touring cars.
The motorcycles with side cars were
selected not only for the purpose of carry-ing
when necessary a second passenger but
more particularly for the reason that the
three point contact with the ground gives
much greater stability and therefore
greater safety than can be obtained from a
"solo cycle."
The uniform is medium gray, each man
carrying a traffic.insignia on his arm and a
keystone insignia, which bears his number,
on his cap. Storm clothing is worn during
inclement weather.
The work of the patrol, while consisting
largely of patroling the highways for the
purpose of protecting and assisting the
public, has the examination of drivers as an
important part of its duties. This is taken
care of by the sixty examiners varying, at
each of fifteen places, from two to six in
number.
The applicants for licenses range from
sixteen to eighty-two years of age. Before
the applicant takes the test his machine
is thoroughly inspected to see that all
equipment complies with the law. Then a
test of his driving ability is conducted,
after which his knowledge of the motor
vehicle law is tested orally. Failures av-erage
about 30 per cent, because of poor
knowledge of the motor law. Applicants
who fail are instructed to appear within a
week for another test and they usually
thank the patrol for flunking them the first
time because they realize their inability
and invariably come back better versed in
a knowledge of requirements.
Over 250,000 applicants were examined
last year and in doing this work no serious
accident occurred. Other parts of the
work however, have taken a toll in injuries,
one man suffering a broken back and six
others broken limbs.
These men are subject to duty day and
night and must be able to move quickly.
While their lot may beat times unpleasant
due to weather, long hours, etc., the public
can make their lot more pleasant if they
will meet the patrolmen halfway. Take
the advice they have to give. They are
not out for revenue and would rather assist
and educate. Complaints against patrol-men
for using profanity will be promptly
investigated.
An effect of the Patrol can be seen in a
remark of a motor club organizer to the
effect that the tendency of motorists since
the inauguration of the patrol seemed to
be cut down on their speed for fear of en-countering
a patrolman.
The Patrol is sound economically as is
evidenced by the following figures:
Cost in 1924 $283,000
Return from examining over 250,000
applicants for drivers licenses; over
250,000
Fines collected 90,000
Bad checks collected 15,000
$355,000
The last item, $15,000, represents
money collected on account of the hundreds
of worthless checks which the Highway
Department receives in the course of a
year.
The above shows an income of $355,000
compared to an expenditure of $283,000,—
a sounder financial basis than some of our
well-managed corporations can show.
Aside from the financial aspect the
saying in human life must be considered.
If it could be measured in dollars and cents,
the saving to the state and humanity
effected by the presence of the patrol on
the roads would be enormous. Their
instructions at all times are : courtesy—
make the highways safe. They have
lived up to these instructions and are
courteously making and keeping the high-ways
safe.
"Why Men Leave
Home" To Be
Presented Next Week
Miss Sherwood has obtained the rights
to the play of "Why Men Leave Home"
and it will be presented at the Hershey
Park Theatre on Thursday, Friday and
Saturday, August 20, 21 and 22.
It was written by Avery Hopwood,
knqwn internationally as the author of
"The Bat". There are laughs galore for
the men and for the women.
In "Why Men Leave Home" the author
has contrived an unusual and novel enter-tainment
by means of situations wherein
three sets of husbands are placed. Three
child-hating wives return after months of
flirtations abroad to find that their hus-bands
have not been merely twiddling
their thumbs during their absence. Two
of the men have yielded to emotional
hunger of some sort, while the third has
become the Fairy Prince of Doris, the
vamp.
"Why Men Leave Home" was one ol
the brilliant successes of last season in New
York City. It is one of the most im-portant
plays to be released for stock

f resh Air Children Fro m the
East Side Coming To Hershey
East Side New York tenement children
will come to Hershey and vicinity on
August 28th, for a short stay of two weeks,
which promises to be the most wonderful
time of their lives.
This vacation, for these youngsters will
in most cases be their first real trip out in
the country—it will be a change from con-jested
tenements—it will be a revelation
that the American home is not a few city
blocks of crowded, ilLyentilated tenements.
These little ones will be lifted from the
miserable dark, and hot quarters, to the
free out-of-doors where they may romp
and play and into the home of some kind
and considerate person.
The number of children that will have
the opportunity to enjoy all this depends
on YOU. Will YOU entertain an un-fortunate
child for two weeks?
There will be absolutely no obligation to
you. They will be brought here and
placed in your hands by the Committee.
Your part is to welcome them, give them
daily food, and a place to sleep.
They will arrive here August 28, and
remain until September ll , two weeks.
The children will have a thorough physical
examination before visiting you—also you
may have as your guest a little boy or girl,
between the ages of 5-12 years.
The Committee appeals to YOU. Will
you help in this movement? If so, simply
sign the coupon below, and mail to the
address given before August 19. That is
all, and all particulars as to exact time of arrival will be made public.
Will you help some child to have its first real joy?
