The Hershey Press 1920-03-11

              With weather conditions favorable, the
management of the Hershey Department
Store is anticipating handling the largest
crowds in the history of the store at the
annual Spring Exhibit which will be held
Thursday, Friday and Saturday of this
week.
Everything in th e store is in readiness
for the big affair and barring misfortunes,
should prove to be one of the most pleasing
affairs ever given in this section of the
country. All through the store , it re-sembles
in appearance, the approach of
spring. A profusion of apple blossoms
decoratively arranged , lends to the atmos-phere
a fragrance delightful to the senses
and which carries one right into the
country in that most beautiful of all
seasons.
The display windows, counters and
cases are filled with articles symbollic
of spring. Neatly and artistically ar-ranged,
they carry suggestions helpful and
needful to the average person.
The Style Exhibit proper will be held
in the rear of the store where a large stage
has been erected connected to a runway
or promenade fift y feet in length upon
which the various styles will be shown.
This afternoon and evening will be de-voted
particularly to display work.
Persons well qualified to speak on the
subjects will explain the process of manu-facturing
the article in question and show
the various grades and styles of material.
Both ladies and gentlemen 's wear will be
shown.
Friday and Saturday, afternoon and
evening, will be featured by the living
models from New York City. These
young ladies have j ust completed a series
of similar exhibits in New York and
Philadelphia and have been secured only
after some hard work on the part of the
local management. These exhibits will
be held at 2:15 and 7:30 o'clock.
As an added feature for the exhibit
musical numbers will be given on all three
days by a special orchestra. Another
feature will be a number of selections by
Mrs. Fleeda Kettering Leno, high soprano,
who is well known in musical circles.
CLASSES PLEDGE FUNDS
Several weeks ago the different classes
of the Sunday School of Holy Trinit y
Lutheran Sunday School were asked to
make pledges of the amount of money
they were willing to raise toward paying
off the debt of the church. The classes
held meetings and then reported their
decisions to the Sunday School. When
the Secretary had totaled the pledges he
found they had reached the grand sum of
$1900.
This was only the first step of a Cam-paign
to raise $9000 to pay off all indebted-ness.
The Church Council and a Com-mittee
have been at work planning the
deUiilH of the Campaign . On Sunday the
Campaign proper will be started. Mr.
C. II. Weller , a bu siness man of ability
and an enthusiastic and devoted chur ch
worker will be present, and address the
congregation. He is a very pleasing and
forceful speaker. Mr. Weller had charge

the Mlnistcrium of Pennsy lvania and it
was largely clue to his management that
it was u success. At the present time lie

Milli on Dollar addition to the Endowment
Fund of Muhlenburg College. These
thin gs are an Indication of the Interest

Spring Styles to
be Demonstrated
in Hershey Store
That Hershey will be the scene of a
Chautauqua course this summer has been
definitely assured by the action of a num-ber
of the people of the community in
agreeing to stand by the movement inas-much
as is possible.
According to this action the course will
be given by the Community Chautauqua
Company of New York, reputed to be one
of the best in the country. The course
will cover five days, beginning June 22.
Included in the program will be some
of the finest features touring the country
this season. They are the famous Little
Symphony Orchestra; Sheenan Concert
Company; "Pike, " the Bird Man ; "Fine
Feathers;" Allpress All-Star Company:
Albert Edward Wiggam ; Denton C.
Crowl; and the Light Opera Company.
The program has been so arranged
plenty of music and an appropriat e worth-so
that each day will be a feature day with
while lecture. Real artists and notable
lecturers have been engaged, assuring a
varied program.
Music is Big Feature
The management has made a special
effort to secure for its musical numbers
artists who will render the best there is in
melody and song. One of the big feature
numbers of the Chautauqua next summer
will be the famous Little Symphony
Orchestra with Leon Weltman, the master
violinist, as conductor. This is said to
be the greatest orchestra in the country,
its members all being highly talented
musicians.
Another notable feature in music will
be the Light Opera Revue, a company of
six attractive young ladies whose work
has established a very enviable record
of successes upon the Chautauqua cir-cuits.
They will give a unique program
consisting of' selections from the most
popular light operas.
The Theresa Sheehan Concert Company
is an accomplished trio of artists ¦ who
present a program versatile to a high
degree, filled with music, monologue and
song.
An event of as grea t interest as any is
the big production of that well-known
play "Fine Feathers. " Six talented
players presenting a drama of modern life
brimming over with smiles and thrills
an d bringing to every one a great message
of the home. It touches on the high cost
of living—it teaches us to live within our
income—it teaches us that fine feathers
do not always make fine .birds, and that
everything we possess we must at some
time pay for . "Fine Feathers" is an
ideal play, for it measures up to the high
standard demanded by Chautauqua '
audiences.
Last but not least among the musical
numbers is the Allpress All-Star Company.
Everybody likes a quartette of accomp-lished
musicians, and the Allpress All-
Stars are the best in the country.
Fine Lectures
As lecturers and entertainers one of
the greatest groups of notables will be
presented that has ever assembled for one
Chautauqua.
There will be Denton C. Crowl, most
unique of platform men, will present one
of the famous "Sam Jones Lectures"
especially modernized in the light of
present day conditions. Sam Jones had
a message that gripped the hearts of folks
and made them glad they were alive, and
Mr. Crowl has the peculiar faculty of
giving the message new life and virility.
He is also one of the rising publicists of the
newspaper world.
Then there is Albert Edward Wiggam
with an inspirational lecture entitled
"Forty Kinds of Fools." Mr. Wiggam is
one of the foremost platform men in the
United States and the clear, easy-to-under-stand
manner in which he handles his
subjects will provide an unforgettable
hou r of enjoyable instruction.
One very strong feature among the
lecture entertainers will be Capt. Oliver
G. Pike. Capt. Pike is coming from
England to tell us the secrets of Birdland
with wonderful pictures and thrilling
narratives. He holds a very high place
among the naturalists of Europe and his
entertainment is bound to be a distinct
novelty to us.
Junior Chautauqua Plans
That popular juvenile branch of the
Community Chautauqua will be bigger
and better than ever before. A great
Toyshop Pageant has been planned , a big
parade, new stories and games—all ar-ranged
for the boys and girls of our town.
Not one of the five days will be lacking in
good wholesome fun for each youngster.
Special announcements will be made later
settin g forth in detail the elaborate plans.
All in all , a great treat is in store for
everybody. It is planned to put the
season tickets on sale at least three weeks
in advance of the Chautau qua and it will
greatly assist the local committee if every
one will plan to get their tickets early.

Tower City Offers
Little Resistance
to Olivets Attack
received a serious check for when they
had finall y weathered the storm they dis-covered
that they had been drenched
under a heavy deluge as the Olivets had
rained basket after basket into the net
from all angles. The score was 84-35
and but for the fact that the local players
eased up considerably in the last ten
minutes it is almost certain that the score
could have run over the century mark.
Sammy Strine was the high scorer in
the game with a total of fifteen baskets
from the field. He was closely followed
by Elliott who managed to locate the net
eleven times without trouble. Clark's
average was boosted by nine baskets
while Stiver upheld^his reputat ion by
caging the ball five times. Miller was
the bright ligh t on Tower City team with
nine baskets chalked to his record .
The five Basketball tossers from
Tower City left that place last week to get
out of the rain. They struck Hershey
and here they encountered the worst
storm they had ever experienced. After
vainly striving to collar the lightning that
seemed to sweep over the floor of the
Men's Club, they were forced to fly the
white fly in token of surrender to the
elements. They left soon after for Tower
City where the worst they feared was a
little rain.
All of which means that the Tower
City representative basketball five came
to Hershey Friday evening with the ex-pectation
of annexing an easy game inas-much
as they have been winning steadily
from other teams. Their dope however
Tower City was never in it for a minute
and seemed to realize it after the first
half was nearly over. The Hershey boys
played clean fast ball at all period s of the
game.
The attraction tomorrow evening will
be the Reading Transit team of Reading,
the team which has been upsetting the
dope in Berks County recently. They
have captured the majority of their games
and are reputed to be a fast combination.
Indications point to a crowded house
this evening when the Junior and Senior
classes of the Hershey High School present
the farce comedy, "The Private Secre-tary
" at the Central Theatre. The cast
has been rehearsing dail y for the affair
and have reached a high stage of effic-iency.
The play is one of the funniest
ever writt en and is full of clever and
snappy music.
In order to accommodate all who have
expressed their int ention of witnessing the
production, it has been decided to hold a
matinee especially f<|>r children although
adults will be welcomed too. Admission
for the matinee will be fifteen cents for
the children and twenty-five cents for
the adults. The show will begin promptly
at 2:00 o'clock. The evening show will
begin at 8:15 and the price of admission
has been fixed at thirty-five cents.

Having enjoyed an apparently safe lead
throughout the first half , the Harri sbur g
Independents received a severe jolt at
th e hands of the .St. Elizabeth Five of
Philadelphia in the second half of the
contest staged last Saturday evening in
the Chestnut Street au ditorium and before
they could collect themselves their oppo-nents
had overcome the lead and secured
a safe margin in their own favor. This
lead they managed to retain with ease
winning finally by the score of 41-31.
Harrisburg played fast ball the first
half and seemed to have a shade on the
Quaker City lads. At the start of the
second half however the visitors suddenly
came to life and thoroughly bewildered
th e Independents with their fast and
clever passing and shooting. Troutwein
was th e individual star for the Philadelphia
boys whil e Klin e and Norman Ford
played well for the Independents.
The Hancock Five, leader s of th e
Philad elphia League, will appear on th e
Harrisbur g door Saturday evening In the
thir d of a series of games between the

one game and as each leant is desirous of

various people handling tickets, the

will be applied for on the night of the
concert. The affair is being held under
the auspices of the Men's Bible Class of
the First United Brethren Church.
The Club has been winning many favor-able
comments in every town in which it
has appeared. At Hanover they were
forced to turn some people away from the
door. Other towns gave them similar
receptions and as they are particularly
interested in this section of the country,
it is certain that they will redouble their
efforts to please.

GOVERNMENT ATTORNEYS AN-SWER
WET S ARGUMENTS
Presentation of arguments in cases from
Rhode Island and Massachusetts attack-ing
the validity of the prohibition amend-ment
to th e Con stituti on were concluded
today in Supreme Court. The case from
Kentucky will be disposed of tomorrow ,
after which the question will be left to
the Nation 's highest trbunal for decision.
Counsel for those attacking the amend-ment
continued today to argue that it
was revolutionary and an invasion o(
stales' ri ghts.
These contentions were denied by
Solicitor General King and Assistant
Attorney General Frierson , who argued
the amendment was properly adopted by
Congress and had been rat ified by thruc-fourths
of the stales. The solicitor
general also said the amendment did not
int erfere with the functions of the states
but gave the Federal Government power
to act with the states in enforcing prohi-biti
on and resulted from a general demand
upon Congress to assist dry states in en-forcing
prohibition daws.
