Fashion Review To
Be a Revelation
The Hershey Department Store will
hold its annual Spring Opening and Fash-ion
Review, with living models, on Thurs-day
(today), Friday and Saturday, March
19, 20 and 21, featuring all that is new in
apparel and accessories in a beautiful
garden setting on the second floor. There
will be two showings daily: afternoon at
2.30 and evening at 7.30. Music will be
furnished by Wecker's Imperial Orchestra.
The ornate releases of new fashion notes
will bring out what will be in good taste
during the approaching season. Mer-chandise
of distinction on display during
the Spring Opening and Fashion Review
will evidence again that the highest attain-ment
has been reached by the Hershey
Department Store in providing goods that
will freshen the wardrobe of the most
fastidious. Things of unique design and
artistic distinction will be displayed in
unprecedented abundance.
We are told that woman's growing
emancipation from clothes will reach the
apex this summer, and when she follows
the dictates of fashion exactly two pounds
of raiment will clothe her, and half of the
weight will be in shoes. The emancipa-tion
is as follows:
One step-in, 2 ounces.
One brassiere, 1 ounce.
One pair of sheer hose, 2 ounces.
Gown, six ounces.
Hat, 5 ounces.
Shoes, 1 pound.
- For the benefit of the uniniate, it is
explained that a step-in is not to be con-fused
with the "teddy." It is only half a
"teddy."
Sheer fabrics indestructible voiles, chif-fons
and georgettes will be worn on all
occasions, and not just for dress affairs.
And that accounts for the extremely light
weight of this summer's attire.
Likewise the knee will be visible.
Dresses are to be just below the knee, but
not meant to cover it. When the fashion-able
woman sits down her knees will be
well in the fore-ground of the picture.
However, what the ladies lose below the
knee will be made up around the neck and
arms. Sleeves will be long and high
necks the vogue.
From all indications it looks like an
interesting Summer.
Hershe y, "the
Chocolate and Cocoa
Town" Helps Ecuador
Ecuador is making a complete commer-cial
comeback, the Foreign Trade Council
reports, wholly because of the popularity
in the United States of chocolate-covered
ice cream confections.
The sudden vogue here for ice cream
served in a chocolate jacket, the council
says, placed chocolate overnight at a new
premium the world over. This re-established
the demand for Ecuador's
staple agricultural product, cacao, from
which the highest grade bitter chocolate
comes, and lifted that country out of
financial depression.
The chocolate boom, the council says,
proved lucky for the United States as well
as Ecuador, for it restored to the former
one of its good customers of five years ago.
Commerce between countries being a
simple matter of give and take. Ecuador
is now spending its chocolate money freely
here again , notably for our player pianos.
That Ecuador "plays" when, as and if
the United States "eats, does not con-stitute
a comparison of tastes in the two
countries, the council adds, so much as it
reveals anew that foreign trade, after all,
is pretty human.
Confectioners in the United States
prefer the Ecuador grade of bitter choco-late
both for its flavor and because it takes
a lot of sugar, and thus enables them to
market their sugar at the higher price of
candy, according to the council.
Ecuador 's principa l competitor is the
Congo, but the African cacao is called
milder and is said to run second with the
candy trade. When the World War shut
off deep sea transportation the Congo's
output was blockaded, to the advantage
of Ecuador, but it meanwhile piled up in
such volume that when ocean communica-tion
was opened again after the war it
came in a Hood and broke the market.
Ecuador found its own cacao selling at a
loss or not at all, and trade there was
brought to a temporary standstill.
In 1920, before the break came, figures
show that Ecuador was selling its products
in the United States at an annua l rate of
$12, 244,000, which gave it the money to
buy American products at the rate of $14,
480,000. The mutual effect of the slump
there was shown in figures for 15)2 1, when
Ecuador 's exports to the United States fell
almost 75 jier cent, to only $.'1,541,000, and
its imports dropped more than 67 per cent.,
to $5,260,000.

^My Peggy In "The
Darlin g of New
York " Saturda y
There is probably no more subtle in-fluence
in the childhood of a girl than that
of her dolly.
When other confidences fail there is
always consolation to be found in the
dumb understanding of a young girl-hood's
favorite companion.
A China doll or a rag doll, it is'all the
same when the doll is the object of a child's
affection.
A street waif will cling with the same
tenacity to a faded rag doll that the petted
daughter of a millionaire will cling to a
golden-haired doll that can walk and say
"Mamma."
One of the big dramatic punches in
The Darling of New York, the Universal
Jewel production starring Baby Peggy at
the Hershey Central Theatre on Saturday
evening, March 21st, at 6.30 and 8.30
o'clock, is furnished by this childish ten-dency
to hang onto a favorite toy.
The baby film star enacts the role of a
waif who became stranded with a bunch of
crooks in the New York Ghetto through
the carelessness of a nurse maid. Through-out
the play the child carries with her an
old rag doll. The audience is let in on the
secret of the doll's importance in the play
when the gem smuggler who abducts the
child places a fortune in smuggled
diamonds in the stuffing of the doll.
Baby Peggy is supported by a strong
cast, which is made up almost of 'charac-ter"
actors. Most prominent in the
supporting cast are Sheldon Lewis, Gladys
Brockwell, Pat Hartigan and Carl Stock-dale.
The play was written by King Baggot
and Raymond Schrock and produced for
Universal by Baggot.
Miss Doroth y ShoIIey
and Lester DeVerter

A simple but very beautiful ceremony
was solemnized at high noon Tuesday in
the United Brethren Church, of Annville,
when Dorothy Sholley, became the bride of
Lester DeVerter, son of Mr. and Mrs.
Frank L. DeVerter, of this place. The
beautiful ring ceremony was used and the

Canton, O. The bride was attractively
attired in white georgette heavily beaded
and carried white roses and lilies of the
valley. They were attended by the
bride's sister, Margaret Sholley, and J.
Benjamin Millard. The maid of honor
wore peach georgette over yellow.
None but the immediate families were
present.
The bride is a soprano soloist and a
graduate of Lebanon Valley College.
The groom is a graduate of Tri-State
University, of Indiana. At present he is
engaged as civil engineer at Lansing Mich.
The happy couple will make their home in
Lansing.
A wedding breakfast was served at the

Hershe y High Wins
Championship
By beating Middletown High School on
Saturday afternoon on the Men's Club
floor , in one of the most exciting games ever
witnessed, Hershey captured the champ-ionship
basketball honors of Lower Dau-phin
County. It was an intense struggle
from the tap off until the final whistle with
both teams exerting themselves to the
utmost to capture the coveted honors.
Middletown gave the local tosscrs one of
the hardest fights of the season and time
and time again knotted the score with
brilliant shots. In this department Weid-ncr,
the Middletown star center, loomed
head and shoulders over the rest of hie
team-mates, he himself scoring twenty of
his team's points. The Hershey guards
hung closely to their men with the result
that the Middletown forward s were held
to a solitary field goal. Purcell played
his usual bang-up game for the home team
leading the Hershey team with eighteen
points. The score was 33-31.

15 Miles of New
Roads To Be
Built In Count y
a Construction of more than fifteen miles
of concrete and macadam road in Dauphin
County this year is contemplated by the
State, county and townships.
Five large projects are included in the
program. It is virtually certain that all
will be started this year.
While the construction of fifteen miles
of new hard surface highway this year is
assured now, this program may be en-larged
to more than twenty miles if addi-tional
State funds are made available
between this time and the opening of the
road building season.
The five projects are the Berrysburg-
Pillow road ; the Jonestown road east of
Lower Paxton Vocational School; the
Laudermilch road from its intersection
with the Jonestown road, between Grant-ville
and Shellsville, to Lyonsville; the
back road to Linglestown from the River
road at Wildwood Park; and the Horse-shoe
pike south from Hummelstown.
The county and State will build the
three miles of road from Berrysburg to
Pillow. Provision has already been made
by the county and State to build two
miles of the Laudermilch road beginning
at its intersection with the Jonestown road.
The county will assist Susquehanna and
Lower Paxton townships in constructing
a macadam road from the River road at
Wildwood Park to Linglestown, a distance
of nearly six miles. The county has
agreed to assist the State in improving
two miles of the Jonestown road from its
intersection with its Linglestown road at
the Lower Paxton Vocational School.
The fifth project is the Horseshoe pike
between Hummelstown and the Lebanon-
Dauphin County line. There is a bill
before the Legislature now providing for
the transfer of this county road to the
State as a part of the State's primary
highway system. If the bill passes it is
understood the State will improve the
highway this year. If the road is left
under the jurisdiction of the county the
commissioners will macadamize two miles
of it from the Hummelstown end this year.
According to county and State officials
there is a probability that funds may be
provided by the State highway bonds and
the Legislature for the completion this
year of the Laudermilch road fro the entire
distance of five miles from Lyonsville to
its intersection with the Jonestown road
and for the completion of the Jonestown
road as far as Grantville this year. Money
has now been provided for the construction
of only two miles of each of these highways.
To Conduct Sprayin g
Demonstration
Six major projects will be conducted
this year by farmers in the Middletown
Community under the auspices of the
Dauphin County Agricultural Extension
Association.
A farm orchard spraying demonstration,
to show the importance ofeach spray, will

Middletown, R. D. The delayed
dormant spray, the delayed dormant and
pink-and-pretal-fall spray and the cluster
apple spray all will be demonstrated for
the benefit of southern Dauphin County
farmers.
L. B. Harper, Middletown, R. D., will
direct a committee which will sponsor a
swine futurity show and the ton-litter
swine club and part of the swine program
in that section. The possibilities of land-scape
gardening will be demonstrated on
the Kein farm.
A meeting will be held at the capon
demonstration farm of Robert Deimler,
Middletown, R. D. 3, under the auspices
of the agricultural association. Residents
of the community will be privileged to
take cockerels to the demonstration meet-ing
and Deimler will keep records on 150
caponized birds during the year.
Isaac Coble, Middletown, R. D„ will
conduct a sweet potato seed source test
to determine the relative yields from seed
potatoes secured from New Jersey and
home-grown seed. The comparative qual-ity
of potatoes also will be demonstrated.

The Morning After
Big Bill McCarty he went down the street
With his shoes in his pocket,
Big Bill McCarty he went down the street.
Shaming all the friends he would meet.
Big Bill McCarty he went down the street
With his shoes in his pocket.
And what did Big Bill McCarty's girl say,
When she saw William on the-highway? .
She tilted her head and looked 'tother way
From Bill with his shoes in his pocket.
She tilted her head and looked 'tother way,
And not a word would McCarty's girl say,
She tilted her head and looked 'tother way
And tinkered with her locket.
McCarty,
The party
You went to last night was one grand suc-cess,
But you worked overtime at the punch
bowl, I guess,
And this A. M. you sure are a mess,
You have your shoes in your pocket.
Now William, my laddie,- please put on
your shoes,
Your feet aren't handsome. Well, just as
you choose.
Keep them in your pocket, 'twill make lots
of news
For all the Sunday papers.
The whole town is laughing, but your paw
and your maw,
And your sweet little sweetie, Molly Mc-
Graw,
I have a good mind to land on your jaw.
Why do you cut such capers.
Why do you young fellows sow your wild
oats.
And pour poison moonshine down your
throats,
And carry your footwear stuck in your
coats,
And leave your feet to the weather?
It mystifies us old fellers a lot,—
Such things never happened, I should say
not,
When we were your age,—but we may
have forgot
The days we were boys together.
Deucei Wild
Smith had a passion for playing poker.
When the nurse told him he was a proud
papa, he exclaimed,
"The deuce."
"Deuce is right," said the nurse. "They
are twins."
That was eighteen years ago. The
twins are young men now, leading the fast
modem fife. Their father, Old Man
Smith, who still has a passion for poker,
calls them, deuces wild.
Probably you have heard the story they
tell of Dr. Drake over at Liberty Cross
Roads. In his early practice, Doctor
Drake, as we mendioned last week, was a
horse doctor, but after a few years in this
profession he decided to continue his
studies with a view to becoming an M. D.
When he graduated from college, word
spread through the Cross Roads that
Doctor Drake had a new diploma.
Well, one day Miss Matilda Spriggs,
who in those days had her cap set for Doc
Drake in particular, and for all marriage-able
men in general, saw a cloud of dust
moving rapidly down the hill. As the
cloud came nearer, she was able to make
out what was raising such a dust. It was
Doc Drake with a fast horse hitched to a
two-wheeled cart.
Matilda called to her sister, Lettie.
"Lettie, come look quick. Here comes
Doc Drake in his new diploma."
Miss Matilda 's idea of a diploma was not
as definite as that expressed by a youthful
patient of Dr. Zimmerman's.
Two healthy schoolboys were waiting
their turn at his office. They were active
chaps and found it hard to sit still. They
talked of various things. One spelled out
the word, diploma, which he saw on the
wall.
"Say, Bill," he said, "do you know what
a diploma is?"
"No, and I'll bet you don't either."
"Yea I do. Bill. A diploma is some-thing
you have to have after you get
through college before you can get out."

"Why, you dumb yak!" They ain 't no

Make Your Dream
Of a Home
a Reality
People have had the instinct for a home
since mankind was first created. They
have erected all sorts of houses, each one
a little better as civilization has progressed
through the ages. A home had its beginn-ing
many years ago. It might have been a
crude shelter made put of limbs and leaves
of trees, a cave in the side of a hill, a tent
or a wooden shack, but it was a home to
someone and they were glad t6 call it such.
Each century has seen newer and better
houses, for man is and always will be look-ing
for new things and new ways of doing
things. Many things have happened;
records show many wars, many races that
have passed on, empires have risen, flour-ished,
fallen and then have been forgotten ,
but the home has come down to us through
it all, protected and revered always. It
will pass on even after we are gone and
others take up the ever-pressing forward of
civilization.
No matter how far away you may
wander you always shut your eyes and see
a vision of home. It is always our goal.
It is our dream and it is the best dream of
all. When you take a little child away for
a short time and it becomes tired it will
invariably say, "Home, Mama." Instinct
again. When that child grows up and
marries, the instinct still proves itself. She
wants a home of her own and she struggles
to make the dream a reality.
We are provided with many things to
make our dream a reality. We are pro-vided
with the desire to do better things,
with the skill of hand, the strength of body,
the brain power to know what to do and
how to do it, and the instinct for work.
But with all this the world does not owe us
a living. We must go and get it. We
must work and work hard to keep our
dream from being shattered.
St. Patrick 's Day
Observed By Many
On Tuesday the Shamrock was gotten
out and dusted off for there was much
"Wearing o' the Green", for it was St.
Patrick's Day. Many Irishmen, the
O'Callahans, the Flanagans, the Kellys,
the Moores, the Murphys, trie Mahoneys,
the Flynns and the McGinty's, also a good-ly
number of Dutchmen, united in cele-brating
the festival of St. Patrick, the
patron saint of Ireland. It was a great
holiday, and it has been very popular for
years among those who have fond
memories of the green isle of Erin.
St. Patrick made use of the Shamrock as
a symbol of the great mystery when he was
preaching the doctrine of the Trinity, and
for that reason we wear it today. He is
supposed to have been a noted Evangelist
and eventually rose to the rank of Bishop.
He founded over three hundred churches,
as many schools, and established one or
two colonies. He changed the people of
Ireland from pagans to Christians. Some
legends give him credit for driving all the
snakes and similar vermin out of Ireland.
Most of the stories concerning St.
Patrick are purely legendary but he has
won a place in our hearts, and anyway,
"Us Irish has not to stick together."
How To Grow Sweet
Clover and Alfalfa
Following an unusual demand by farm-ers
in all sections of Dauphin County for
information on sweet clover and alfalfa ,
County Agent R. R. Burtner has issued
the following statement outlining the four
essentials for successful growing of either
crop.
"The first essential to insure good yields
of sweet clover or alfalfa is a sufficient
amount of lime. When the lime require-ment
has been met, a good seed-bed must
be prepared. After you are sure that you
have a good seed-bed, work over it again in
order to meet this second requirement for
successful production of these two crops.
Plenty of humus is the third essential to be
followed. Green-stuff plowed under and
manure can be used, but do not apply
manure on top because weed seed con-tained
in it will choke-ou t the young seed-lings
of clover or alfalfa . The fourth
essential is good seed. Northwest Arkan-sas
lias been found to be adapted to loca l
conditions, when it is properly innoculated.
The Dauphin County Agricultural Ex-tension
Association will advise farmers on
the proper innoculation methods."
Marble Winners
A marble contest was staged on last
Saturday morning by the Midget Class of
the Men's Club. '1 lie boys met on the
grounds in the rear of the Central Theatre
and an hour or more of exciting events
was passed. The best of all was the "big
ring which was 7 feet in diameter mui
where the larger boys played. The con-testants
were H. Lloyd , J. Hummer ,
George Gerlh , L. Zimmerman, J. Kreiser
and Harry Barr Snavely. 11. Lloyd
proved himself the best Hh<x>ter and won
the contest. The winner of the smaller
ring contest was, Robert Miller. Marbles,
(shooters) were given as prizes.
On Saturday next a similar content will
l)c held for all gym boys and later on one
for all Hershey boy a.

Bebe Daniels In
"Sinners In Heaven "
Thursda y, Tonight
The tide of the new Paramount picture,
"Sinners in Heaven", which will be shown
at the Hershey Central Theatre on Thurs-day
evening, March 19th, at 7.30 o'clock,
has a distinctly paradoxical sound. It is
safe to assume that the picture satisfac-torily
explains and justifies the title.
To those, however, who have read the
story by Clive Arde'n from which the pic-ture
was adapted by James Creelman and
produced by Alan Crosland, the title has
an especial significance and it is certain
that they will approve its retention in the
screen play.
"Sinners in Heaven" tells the story of a
man and a girl who are thru fate wrecked
on a tropical island off the coast of Africa.
Try to imagine what would happen if you
found yourself stranded in some remote
corner of the earth, apparently a million
miles from any sign of civilization, and
your only companion was a person whom
you cordially disliked! This is the situa-tion
that confronts Barbara Stockley, the
heroine; and you can readily understand
the dynamic possibilities for rich drama
when we tell you that the girl eventually
falls in love with the man and marries him,
there, in the heart of the African desert1
How the marriage is performed and what
happens after that, we will let you discover
for yourself.
With a combination of such box office
favorites as Bebe Daniels and Richard Dix
who portray the two leading roles, sur-rounded
by such likeable and well known
players as Holmes Herbert, Montague
Love, Florence Billings, Effie Shannon,
Betty Hilburn and Marcia Harris, the
only fair thing to do is designate it as an
all-star cast.
Hershe y High Closes
Home Season Saturda y
Hershey High School will close their
home season in basketball on next Satur-day
afternoon when they will meet Hum-melstown
High in what is promised to be
one of the most exciting games of the
season. The season just closing has been
the most successful in the history of the
school with a large percentages of wins to
their credit. Among the teams defeated
are numbered some of the best High School
teams in this section of the State. Satur-day's
game will also mark the last home
appearance in basketball of Russ Tinney
and Russ Aungst, two of the mainstays of
the Hershey combination, who will be lost
to the team through graduation this Spring
Both these young men played the best
game of their career this season, always
giving the best that was in them, and are a
credit to the game and Hershey High. An
immense throng is expected out for Satur-day's
game and with their old rivals,
Hummelstown, as their opponents, a
thrilling game is sure to result. Plays
begins at 2.50 o'clock. Men's Club floor.

Finds Trout Retreat
Thru Radio
Roy Lloyd , our genial , efficient and ar-tistic
sign painter , has several hobbies, other
than his daily work, one of which is being a
radio enthusiast. I le has a 3-tube set and
he gets service surpassing that of the owners
of the more pretentious sets, altho at times
he can't get anything but Sand Beach,
Bullfrog Valley and Spring Creek. He
had a splendid reception from the Spring
Creek broadcasting station on Friday and
as a result he was up bright and early on
Saturday morning and with his trusty rod
and line sought the wily trout (another one
of his hobbies} and for his breakfast had a
dish fit for a king.

HERSHEY BOYS AND GIRLS
DEFEAT OBERLIN TEAMS
Hershey High School journeyed to
Olxirlln on Wednesday evening where they
met and defeated the Obcrlln basketball
teams by one-sided scores. The boys hail
little trouble In running up n 48 to 27 score
against their opixmcntu while the girls did
equally well , defeating the Obcrlln girls by
a 2<t to 14 score. Both teams put up a
scrappy fight hut with the Hershey teams
working with clocklike precision the re-sults
were never in doubt. After securing
a safe lead the second string men were
given a chance and gave a creditable
account of themselves.
"The Lottery Man "
Pleases Large
Audience Friday
'The Lottery Man", a three-act comedy,
was presented at the Hershey Central
Theatre on Friday evening, March 13th,
under the auspices of John Elder Men's
Bible Class of the Deny Presbyterian
Church, before a goodly-sized and appre-ciative
audience.
George Hocker had the stellar role, as
"Jack Wright, The Lottery Man", and
we'll say he is good—he puts snap in his
work, and one was made to feel that he
was hot pepper.
Miss Dorothy Hill, as "Mrs. Peyton",
was particularly pleasing—she has a splen-did
stage presence, and she enacted her role
with considerable ability.
Miss Jesse Dersheimer as "Mrs. Wright',
portrayed the character effectively. Miss
Katherine Leithiser as "Lizzie Roberts",
carried the comedy parts, and she went big,
creating much laughter at her drollery
and mannerisms. Miss Anna Reese as
"Hedwig Jensen", made an unimportant
part stand out, and she got by with her
"dialect" most entertainingly.
Miss Lucile Gilman as "Helen Heyer",
was splendid, as she always is. She is good
to look upon, and has a voice that goes
with "good looks", and with her ability—
well, what more is there to say.
Then there was Chester Swartz in a dual
role of "Stevens", and "Hamilton."
Chester looked most uncomfortable in his
big coat and brass buttons, but his work
was polished, just like the buttons—and
he won his fair maid, the charming Swede,
which was a prize well worth winning.
Last but not least was Earl Hackman as
"Foxey" Peyton. Earl is developing into
a most capable artist. He has all the
qualities, a splendid appearance and a good
voice.
The play was directed by Mary Gregg
Darrow, and considerable of the credit for
the success of the play is due to her ability
along these lines.
There was considerable talk previous to
its presentation that "The Lottery Man"
was not of a high moral standard, but
after having witnessed its production we
were led to believe that some of our
worthies made a mountain out of a mole-hill—
it was as harmless as a kitten.
The only thing lacking was that of
music—it seemed almost as tho we were at
a Quaker meeting, that is between the
acts. With so much good talent at hand,
we wonder why this was neglected.
Hershe y Travelers
I Win at Lebanon 5^f4l 1
On Thursday, March 12, the Hershey
Travelers met and defeated the Lebanon
Y. M. H. A. on the Y. M. C. A. floor at
Lebanon, by the score of 29 to 24.
The game was one of the fastest played
on the Y. M. C. A. floor this season, both
teams continually trying to score by sen-sational
shooting. In this department the
Travelers demonstrated their superiority
by a margin of five field goals. For the
Travelers, Fasnacht and Gerlach were the
stars, while Baron, the Lebanon Valley
guard was the best point getter for the
Y. M. H. A. The same teams will play a
return game on the Hershey floor on Wed-nesday,
March 25th. A very exciting
game is looked for as the Lebanon team is
out to avenge their defeat on their own
floor.

Hershe y Boy Scouts
Vindicated
Inasmuch as there has been some ad-verse
criticism from some of our citizens
pertaining to Sunday afternoon hikes by
the Hershey Boy Scout Troop, we are
pleased to know that the National Council
of the Boy Scouts of America take a broad-minded
viewpoint in the matter, and have
gone on record that they do not look upon
these hikes with disfavor, unless these
hikes preclude the attendance of scouts
from religious services. Surely, there can
be no harm in hikes of this kind , particular-ly
when the object is that of a broadening
and educational nature. It might be far
better if all of us would join the Boy
Scouts on these Sunday afternoon hikes,
instead of burning up gasoline,
Ralph Crabtree Will
Do His Stuff Saturda y
On Saturda y evening at the Hershey
Centra l Theatre Ralph Crabtree, after an
absence of six months, will again bask In
the footlights , and will be seen in an origi-nal
skit entitled "Sense and Nonsense."
A little bird has told us tha t Ralph
has quite a number of local jokes and
cjuljis up his sleeve, and will bring them to
light on Saturday evening, ,
Ralph will have an original makeup—to
conform with his skit—and wo are assured
that he will make us quite merry. So
let's have a full house at both shows on
Saturday evening, and give him a joyous
welcome.
