The Hershey American Legion Drive Is Row On The American Legion is conducting a National Drive to provide an, endowment fund for disabled ex-service men and the orphans of veterans who died in the service. The drive is now opening in Pennsyl-vania, and Hershey Post, No. 386, is asked to shoulder its proportionate share of the work. The Hershey apportionment is $500. The Legion plans to raise an endowment fund of $5,000,000, of which the income (estimated at $225,000 yearly) will guaran-tee a solid financial basis in perpetuity for the programs of disabled men's * chabilita-tion and child welfare. The. Legion is asking this endowment fund from its own members and the Ameri-can public jointly. The Legion asks it confidently in the knowledge that it will be given, and that it will be the backbone of the most important public service con-fronting the American people today. Each dollar accepted in this trust means a vital responsibility to the Legion, and a per-manent commitment of the Legion to this service, and to other unselfish and public service. The sum total of the absolutely necessary financial endowment is relatively small. The extent of the spiritual endow-ment goes with it is unlimited. The providing of an American home for the orphan of every man who fell in the nation's service is so obviously right that it needs no discussion. These children are plainly entitled to the same chance in life which they would have received had their father not given his life to America. That is the very minimum. "A home for every homeless child of a veteran" is the basis of The American Legion's child welfare program. The constantly growing casualty list, as men die by the thousand each year from wounds and disease incurred in the World War, accentuates this need. The accumu-lating discovery of these children in alms houses, in unhappy and unfit 'homes of distant relatives unable or unwilling to give proper care, in the-very streets and alleys sometimes has wrung the heart of the Legion. It is determined that every homeless child of a veteran shall have a fair and square chance at life, an honest, happy American home; a proper educa-tion. Hershey Post, of the American Legion, is endeavoring to meet its proportionate share of the task to raise this Fund. Con-tributions, cash.-check or pledge, are now acceptable. Checks should be made pay-able to "National Treasurer, The American Legion", and. given to R. H. Sattazahn, Endowment Treasurer of the local Post. Pledges are payable over a period of ten months or any shorter interval, at the dis-cretion of the subscriber. In support of the drive, the local Post will hold a dance in the Park Pavilion on the evening of Monday, June 22d. Har-vey Marburger and his orchestra, of Read-ing, has been booked for this engagement. Plans have not been entirely formulated but will be ready to permit a complete announcement in June 18th issue of the Press. The entire proceeds of this dance will be donated to the Endowment Fund. The local Legionnaires in handling this work are confident the community will generously respond. The members of the Post have themselves contributed a total of $150, the Ladies' Auxiliary Unit of the local Post has contributed $50, and with the impetus thus afforded it is anticipated the drive here will be highly successful. Let's All Help To Give Old Glory a Fittin g Anniversa ry When the Continental Congress met in Philadelphia on June 14, 1777, and decided upon a design for a national flag they appointed a committee to ask Mrs. Ross if she would make the flag. She, readily agreed to do so and her suggestion to make the stars five-pointed was also carried out. She received the contract from the govern-ment to make all flags, and with her daughter engaged in this business for many years. The house where Betsy Ross made the first American flag still stands in Philadel-phia. The Betsy Ross Memorial Associa-tion was founded in 1898 and seven years later this association raised enough funds to purchase the Betsy Ross House. It was turned over to the public as the American Flag House, and is one of the many sights that people go to Philadelphia to see. The fourteenth of June is Flag Day and upon that day we should all hang out the American flag, the emblem of our liberties. Our flag is the symbol around which cluster the noble ideals and the good deeds of all of those who have labored in the service of our country. Our Hag is one hundred and forty-eight years old and has, since its birth , traveled to the far corners of the earth. It has at all times made known some of the ideals of this great country which it represents. People all over the world know that it is the emblem of freedom and square-dealing, and that it is looked up to and revered . We hope that on the fourteenth we will see Old Glory flying to the breezes from the (lag staffs on our office buildings, our front porches, the tops of our houses, and from many other places where live true and patriotic citizens of the United States. All of us should see to il that our Hag has a fitting anniversary, for it is up to us to uphold and honor the ideals for which our American flag stands. To res|>ect the flag is a part of every true American's creed.

Children s Day Exercises at Derr y Presb yterian Church Independence Day, July 4, has been definitel y chosen by Lieut. Com. John Philip Sousa as the opening date of his thirty-third annual tour at the head of his famous band. The opening engage-ment will be played in the Hershey Park Convention Hall, Ju ly 4th and 5th , afternoon and evening. At seventy years of age; Sousa is attempting one of the longest and most strenuous seasons of his career. The tour during which he will round out a third of a century as the director of his own organization will be of thirty-five weeks' duration. During the tour he will play at least one engage-ment in every state in the Union with one exception, and will make his fifteenth trip from Coast to Coast. Sousa believes that his success as a bandmaster in a considerable degree has been due to the fact that he realized early in his career the American demand for novelty. Two novelties the Sousa public has been trained to expect annually. One is the new Sousa march and the other is the new Sousa humoresque. Since the days when he wrote "The Liberty Bell " for his first tour, every Sousa season has seen at least one new march, and this year there will be two, "The Black Horse Troop, " dedicated to the great Cleveland military organization , and "The National Game," a baseball march written at the invitation of Judge Kenesaw Mountain Landis, high commissioner of organized base-ball. The Sousa humoresque always is a revue of the popular tunes of the day, with one being used We Would Suggest That You Make Your Reservation Now. Address mail orders to J oseph Ross, Hershey, Pa. Reserved Seats, 75c, which includes the war tax Send return postage as a theme. This season the theme is "Follow the Swallow. " A year ago it was "What Do You Do On Sunday, Mary, " and the year before that it was the classic chanson , "Mr. Gallagher-Mr. Shean. " To these annual novelties this season are added a new suite, "Cuba Under Three Flags, " which is Sousa 's impression of the changing of Cuba 's music from Spanish to American to Cuban, and Sousa 's American j azz. One of the Sousa features this season will be the revival of "The Liberty Bell" March. This march will be played with a set of chimes, cast in England and costing more than $10,000. "Th^ chimes soloist will be George F. Carey, for several seasons a member of the Sousa organization. It is expected that a composer-conductor as thoroughl y American as Lieut. Com. John Phili p Sousa would select a vocalist of American birth and training for solo appearances, and therefore the famous bandmaster "points with pride " to th e fact that Miss Marjorie Moody will be heard this season with the Sousa organization. Miss Moody was reared in Boston , where her firs t vocal training was received under the direc-tion of Mme. M. C. Piccioli , who has trained many singers for the operatic and concert stages, and who in her turn had been a prima donna with many opera organizations in Europe and South America. She first attracted the attention of Sousa after he had heard her sing with the Apollo Club, a Boston organization , but known the country over because of its fine choral achievements. Since her debut with Sousa, Miss Moody has sung with the Boston Symphony Orchestra , as well as appearing as soloist at the Worcester (Mass.) Music Festival and at the great Maine Music Festival, at Portland , Maine. This present season may be her last with Sousa, as she has entered into a contract with the Chicago Civic Opera, that contract not becoming operative, however, until after the conclusion of Sousa 's current season. The afternoon concerts will be given at 2.30 o 'clock. The evening concerts at 7.30 o'clock. Popular prices will prevail: General admission , 50 cents; reserved seats, 75 cents, including war tax.

Don't Miss Seeing "Manhandled " Now Playing at the Park Theatre On Thursday, Friday and Saturday, June 11th, 12th and l.'tth , the Sherwixxl Players present, "Manhandled" , Gloria Swanson's greatest success, dramatized from Arthur Stringer 's novel by Sidney R. Kent and Walton Butteiheld. "Manhandled " is a simple, human story of a young girl behind the bargain counter in a big department store. She comes to the realization that just , as merchandise sells at bargain prices from over-handling, so do women pay the price in reputation for the same reason, But with her experience , she reaped a great victory. Every girl , when she sees "Manhandled" will imagine herself doing the wild , ro-mantic things that Miss Bauer does. And in addition , they will find beautiful clothes, beautiful stage settings , plus a homely heart-interest that will tie up with many of their own experiences. Those who saw the picture , or read the story in the Saturday Evening Post or in Ixxilt form , know that It is alxwt a girl , a regular girl, the kind you can 't, help liking, with the average girl 's dreams and longings, Just like the rest of us she wants money, beautifu l clothes, g(x>d times and of course a Prince Charming, She has youth and benuly, la clever and attractive , so it doesn't take her long to get everything her heart desires. But (there 's always a 'But ', you know) in the end she comes to the bitter realization that she has lost more than she has gained , And then she wins for herself a great triumph in a startling manlier, Her Prince Charming turns out to ho a hard working mechanic , whose honest love helps her In Hading out what the worth-while thlngi* in life are. Mr LeUuy i» pleaslns ciwt in this vole. What a punch? What a story? A girl at both ends of the social ladder. "Manhandled " has It all. You'll be laughing yourself silly at "Tcssle" and her antics one minute and on the verge of tears the next, sympathizing with her In her sorrowful plight. The cheap boarding house ie vividly repre-sented. Then there 's the bright-light district , artist-studio section of New York , with twists , laughs and punches galore. Here is a play that 's crammed clear full of meat from the start to finish. It 's a play with a clima x us sensational as its title. As said belore "Manhandled " deals with the problems of life confronting a New York shop girl , and Miss Bauer runs Hit* whole gamut of emotions, trying the while lights of broadway. taking a whirl tit being a painter 's nuxlel , spending some lime ixising, all for a "gcxxl time". But in the end she learns that honest love is far belter than temporary luxuries showered ii|X)ii her by hosts of more or less ardent admirers. In her role of a shop girl Miss Bauer wears one dress that cost $7,W) and she doesn 't l<x>k half bad in it. either. It is a pretty dress and the kind the home eco-nomics departmen t of any school might hold up as u shining example of how the American girl ran dress without s|>cnding a fortune on clothing, To complete the out lit Miss Bauer wears 11 cheap pair of lisle hose and 11 plain oxfords. However , in the progress of the play, the dainty leading woman is given the opixirlunity of wealing some stunning gowns, and one of them in particular cost many times the price of the lit tie one early in the play.

(Continued on Page 4) Daily Vacation Bible School Opens Monday, Send Your Child The Hershey Daily Vacation Bible School will open at 8.30 o'clock Monday morning, June 15th, in the Hershey public school building. This school will be held under the aus-pices of the United Brethren, Presbyterian and Lutheran Sunday Schools of Hershey for the purpose of giving the children of this community an opportunity to receive additional Bible instruction and training. The daily program will consist of opening exercises, memory work, Bible and mission stories, health and habit talks, music and drill work, with appropriate closing exer-cises. Every effort will be made to make this school interesting, profitable and more successful than heretofore. We hope that every parent will give serious consideration to this project and avail themselves of this splendid opportunity of giving their child-ren this training. There is no charges connected with enrollment to the school. Children desiring to attend this school, who have not already enrolled, are privi-leged to enroll at this opening session. The teaching staff is composed of the following persons: Miss Kathryn Weltmer, Kindergarten; Mrs. Wm. Runkle, Primary; Miss Bertha Belser, Juniors; Rev. A. G. Nye, Intermediates. Visitors are cordially invited to attend any of these sessions they desire. The Vacation Bible School is the least noticed and most profoundly significant social experiment of the times. In spite of the nominal acceptance of some sort of religious faith by the vast majority of the people, it is the amazing fact that religious education is in its infancy. There is al-most no curriculum worked out as yet for the study of religion. The idea itself is not understood. Thousands of people believe that religion comes by a thunderbolt of sudden conversion. They object to the idea that it can be got by education. "I don't propose to prejudice my child's mind," says a parent. "When my child-ren grow up they can choose a religion for themselves." In any other connection that would be silly. For example, "I shall not invade my children's mind with the abe's; when they grow up they can choose an alphabet for themselves." Or, "I am not going to fill my children's minds with the multipli-cation table. It is time enough when they can think for themselves to let them work out for themselves." More absurd still would this be: "I am not going to teach my children anything. I want them to find out things for them-selves." And if we hired engineers and architects and carpenters and electricians on that rule we would all soon be in the ditch and the hospital or the grave together. Now, as a matter of fact, we do not teach religion in the public schools. There is very little religious teaching in the home any more. The Sunday schools teach it only a half hour a week and to a very small part of the population. It is no wonder, therefore, that religious teaching has become obscured. The greatest teaching is that which teaches such things as honesty and right-eousness; and say what you will when you go in search of a textbook for this big and generous side of human life, for the things that show how the winds blow and the planets move in their orbits, how "the thoughts of men are widened with the process of the suns," how civilization is a grand spiritual adventure; when you look about for a starting point for such a study of the sublimities you will soon find an old pathway worn deep by the feet of many centuries. It will run straight to a great literature that has mothered all languages and all learnings; and its first words an-nounce the single thing that makes it a religious textbook—"In the beginning, The Vacation Bible School will not succeed by any short-cut, by merely teaching the Bible by rote, by boring the children with moral platitudes. This new social experiment is just beginning, but it is headed in the right direction. Although little thought of at the moment and com-pelled to live upon charity and take its first feeble steps in obscurity, it is pioneer-ing the way to the new education, just as the Sunday Schools of Robert Raikes pioneered the way to the whole system of modem public schools. Vacation Bible Schools take up part of the time that was formerly spent on the streets. They give the child mind some-thing to occupy its attention, and thus keep it out of mischief. The contention that the children need the vacation to rest from the strenuous efforts made during the eight or nine months of regular schooling is met by the assertion that the mind rests by change and not by a cessation of think-ing. Rightly graded and guided children wiU come out of these vacation schools much the better mentally because they have been using their "mental muscles instead of allowing them to act along wrong lines. All children who have not registered as yet, may do so on or before Monday, either with Dr. H. G. Murnrna, or any of the teachers, or at the school on Monday morning.

a solid financial basis in perpetuity for
the programs of disabled men's * chabilita-tion
and child welfare.
The. Legion is asking this endowment
fund from its own members and the Ameri-can
public jointly. The Legion asks it
confidently in the knowledge that it will be
given, and that it will be the backbone of
the most important public service con-fronting
the American people today. Each
dollar accepted in this trust means a vital
responsibility to the Legion, and a per-manent
commitment of the Legion to this
service, and to other unselfish and public
service. The sum total of the absolutely
necessary financial endowment is relatively
small. The extent of the spiritual endow-ment
goes with it is unlimited.
The providing of an American home for
the orphan of every man who fell in the
nation's service is so obviously right that
it needs no discussion. These children
are plainly entitled to the same chance in
life which they would have received had
their father not given his life to America.
That is the very minimum. "A home for
every homeless child of a veteran" is the
basis of The American Legion's child
welfare program.
The constantly growing casualty list, as
men die by the thousand each year from
wounds and disease incurred in the World
War, accentuates this need. The accumu-lating
discovery of these children in alms
houses, in unhappy and unfit 'homes of
distant relatives unable or unwilling to give
proper care, in the-very streets and alleys
sometimes has wrung the heart of the
Legion. It is determined that every
homeless child of a veteran shall have a
fair and square chance at life, an honest,
happy American home; a proper educa-tion.
Hershey Post, of the American Legion,
is endeavoring to meet its proportionate
share of the task to raise this Fund. Con-tributions,
cash.-check or pledge, are now
acceptable. Checks should be made pay-able
to "National Treasurer, The American
Legion", and. given to R. H. Sattazahn,
Endowment Treasurer of the local Post.
Pledges are payable over a period of ten
months or any shorter interval, at the dis-cretion
of the subscriber.
In support of the drive, the local Post
will hold a dance in the Park Pavilion on
the evening of Monday, June 22d. Har-vey
Marburger and his orchestra, of Read-ing,
has been booked for this engagement.
Plans have not been entirely formulated
but will be ready to permit a complete
announcement in June 18th issue of the
Press. The entire proceeds of this dance
will be donated to the Endowment Fund.
The local Legionnaires in handling this
work are confident the community will
generously respond. The members of the
Post have themselves contributed a total
of $150, the Ladies' Auxiliary Unit of the
local Post has contributed $50, and with
the impetus thus afforded it is anticipated
the drive here will be highly successful.
Let's All Help To Give
Old Glory a
Fittin g Anniversa ry
When the Continental Congress met in
Philadelphia on June 14, 1777, and decided
upon a design for a national flag they
appointed a committee to ask Mrs. Ross
if she would make the flag. She, readily
agreed to do so and her suggestion to make
the stars five-pointed was also carried out.
She received the contract from the govern-ment
to make all flags, and with her
daughter engaged in this business for
many years.
The house where Betsy Ross made the
first American flag still stands in Philadel-phia.
The Betsy Ross Memorial Associa-tion
was founded in 1898 and seven years
later this association raised enough funds
to purchase the Betsy Ross House. It was
turned over to the public as the American
Flag House, and is one of the many sights
that people go to Philadelphia to see.
The fourteenth of June is Flag Day and
upon that day we should all hang out the
American flag, the emblem of our liberties.
Our flag is the symbol around which cluster
the noble ideals and the good deeds of all of
those who have labored in the service of
our country.
Our Hag is one hundred and forty-eight
years old and has, since its birth , traveled
to the far corners of the earth. It has at
all times made known some of the ideals
of this great country which it represents.
People all over the world know that it is the
emblem of freedom and square-dealing,
and that it is looked up to and revered .
We hope that on the fourteenth we will
see Old Glory flying to the breezes from
the (lag staffs on our office buildings, our
front porches, the tops of our houses, and
from many other places where live true
and patriotic citizens of the United States.
All of us should see to il that our Hag has
a fitting anniversary, for it is up to us to
uphold and honor the ideals for which our
American flag stands. To res|>ect the
flag is a part of every true American's
creed.

Children s Day
Exercises at Derr y
Presb yterian Church
Independence Day, July 4, has been definitel y chosen by Lieut. Com. John Philip Sousa as the
opening date of his thirty-third annual tour at the head of his famous band. The opening engage-ment
will be played in the Hershey Park Convention Hall, Ju ly 4th and 5th , afternoon and evening.
At seventy years of age; Sousa is attempting one of the longest and most strenuous seasons of
his career. The tour during which he will round out a third of a century as the director of his own
organization will be of thirty-five weeks' duration. During the tour he will play at least one engage-ment
in every state in the Union with one exception, and will make his fifteenth trip from Coast to
Coast.
Sousa believes that his success as a bandmaster in a considerable degree has been due to the
fact that he realized early in his career the American demand for novelty. Two novelties the Sousa
public has been trained to expect annually. One is the new Sousa march and the other is the new
Sousa humoresque. Since the days when he wrote "The Liberty Bell " for his first tour, every Sousa
season has seen at least one new march, and this year there will be two, "The Black Horse Troop, "
dedicated to the great Cleveland military organization , and "The National Game," a baseball march
written at the invitation of Judge Kenesaw Mountain Landis, high commissioner of organized base-ball.
The Sousa humoresque always is a revue of the popular tunes of the day, with one being used

as a theme. This season the theme is "Follow the Swallow. " A year ago it was "What Do You Do
On Sunday, Mary, " and the year before that it was the classic chanson , "Mr. Gallagher-Mr. Shean. "
To these annual novelties this season are added a new suite, "Cuba Under Three Flags, " which is
Sousa 's impression of the changing of Cuba 's music from Spanish to American to Cuban, and Sousa 's
American j azz.
One of the Sousa features this season will be the revival of "The Liberty Bell" March. This
march will be played with a set of chimes, cast in England and costing more than $10,000. "Th^ chimes soloist will be George F. Carey, for several seasons a member of the Sousa organization.
It is expected that a composer-conductor as thoroughl y American as Lieut. Com. John Phili p
Sousa would select a vocalist of American birth and training for solo appearances, and therefore the
famous bandmaster "points with pride " to th e fact that Miss Marjorie Moody will be heard this
season with the Sousa organization.
Miss Moody was reared in Boston , where her firs t vocal training was received under the direc-tion
of Mme. M. C. Piccioli , who has trained many singers for the operatic and concert stages, and
who in her turn had been a prima donna with many opera organizations in Europe and South America.
She first attracted the attention of Sousa after he had heard her sing with the Apollo Club, a Boston
organization , but known the country over because of its fine choral achievements.
Since her debut with Sousa, Miss Moody has sung with the Boston Symphony Orchestra , as
well as appearing as soloist at the Worcester (Mass.) Music Festival and at the great Maine Music
Festival, at Portland , Maine. This present season may be her last with Sousa, as she has entered
into a contract with the Chicago Civic Opera, that contract not becoming operative, however, until
after the conclusion of Sousa 's current season.
The afternoon concerts will be given at 2.30 o 'clock. The evening concerts at 7.30 o'clock.
Popular prices will prevail: General admission , 50 cents; reserved seats, 75 cents, including war tax.

Don't Miss Seeing "Manhandled "
Now Playing at the Park Theatre On Thursday, Friday and Saturday,
June 11th, 12th and l.'tth , the Sherwixxl
Players present, "Manhandled" , Gloria
Swanson's greatest success, dramatized
from Arthur Stringer 's novel by Sidney R.
Kent and Walton Butteiheld.
"Manhandled " is a simple, human story
of a young girl behind the bargain counter
in a big department store. She comes to
the realization that just , as merchandise
sells at bargain prices from over-handling,
so do women pay the price in reputation for
the same reason, But with her experience ,
she reaped a great victory.
Every girl , when she sees "Manhandled"
will imagine herself doing the wild , ro-mantic
things that Miss Bauer does. And
in addition , they will find beautiful clothes,
beautiful stage settings , plus a homely
heart-interest that will tie up with many
of their own experiences.
Those who saw the picture , or read the
story in the Saturday Evening Post or in
Ixxilt form , know that It is alxwt a girl , a
regular girl, the kind you can 't, help liking,
with the average girl 's dreams and longings,
Just like the rest of us she wants money,
beautifu l clothes, g(x>d times and of course
a Prince Charming, She has youth and
benuly, la clever and attractive , so it
doesn't take her long to get everything her
heart desires. But (there 's always a 'But ',
you know) in the end she comes to the
bitter realization that she has lost more
than she has gained , And then she wins
for herself a great triumph in a startling
manlier, Her Prince Charming turns out
to ho a hard working mechanic , whose
honest love helps her In Hading out what
the worth-while thlngi* in life are. Mr
LeUuy i» pleaslns ciwt in this vole. What
a punch? What a story? A girl at both
ends of the social ladder. "Manhandled "
has It all.
You'll be laughing yourself silly at
"Tcssle" and her antics one minute and on
the verge of tears the next, sympathizing
with her In her sorrowful plight. The
cheap boarding house ie vividly repre-sented.
Then there 's the bright-light
district , artist-studio section of New York ,
with twists , laughs and punches galore.
Here is a play that 's crammed clear full of
meat from the start to finish. It 's a play
with a clima x us sensational as its title.
As said belore "Manhandled " deals
with the problems of life confronting a
New York shop girl , and Miss Bauer runs
Hit* whole gamut of emotions, trying the
while lights of broadway. taking a whirl
tit being a painter 's nuxlel , spending some
lime ixising, all for a "gcxxl time". But
in the end she learns that honest love is far
belter than temporary luxuries showered

admirers.

wears one dress that cost $7,W) and she
