              Hershe y Red Cross
Will Hold
Annual Roll Call
The annual Red Cross Roll Call and
Welfare drive will be held in Hershe y on
Monday and Tuesda y, April 20 and 21.
There will be booths at the postofnce ,
bank and store and every man and woman
in Hershey should deem it a privilege to
enroll in this worthy cause.
The American Red Cross , since the war,
has been offered boundless opportunities
for service. With thousands of disabled
ex-service men still in hospitals , with
disasters occurring almost weekly, with
hundreds of thousands dying yearly
through preven table disease, through
accident , through lack of knowledge of the
simplest rules of hygiene and health , the
need is greater than ever before.
The Red Cross meets this need throu gh
a group of unified services, to carr y on
which it is chartered by Congress. This
peace-time work is less spectacular than
the war work. Much of it, the public
health work in particular , is less interesting
generall y, except to those who directly
benefit by it. For it is no easy matter to
interest a healthy person in health. Yet
it is a work that is of vital importance to
the American people. America could no
more do without the Red Cross in pe* '
than it could have done without it in wai.
The far-reachin g organization of the Red
Cross, with its thousands of chapters and
branches , formin g a close network over the
entire country, is well fit ted to bring
prompt aid when the lightning stroke 01
disaster flashes down upon a peaceful
communi ty, kjjling hundreds , rendering
thousands homeless and destitute. Into
such a scene of despair and hopelessness
the Red Cross brin gs food and clothing,
medicine, tents for shelter , blanke ts and all
kinds of supplies. Equipped with trained
workers , with stores of relief supplies
located at strategic points throughout the
country, the resources of the entire organi-zation
can be brough t to bear within a few
hours upon the most remote hamlet.
Public Health Nursing
The Red Cross has appointed public
health nurses in many communities which
desired such service.
The public health nurse is the guardian
of the heal th of all those in her neighbor-hood.
She inspects the school children for
physical defects , organizes classes in Home
Hygiene and Care of the Sick , in Food
Selection and First Aid, so that the women
and girls may be bett er fitted to maintain
the health of their families, and to care for
members of their households in time ol
minor illnesses. She tells expectant
mothers how to take care of themselves, so
that the mortality from childbirth may be
reduced . Today almost a thousand Red
Cross nurses in their picturesque uniforms
and small cars are carr ying the chance to
live, the message of health , and the good
will of the Red Cross to people of mining
communi ties, bleak and wind-swe pt
mountain plateaus , and lonely rural settle-ments
throu ghout the United States and
her possessions.
The Chapters
Durin g the year volunteer workers have
produced 150,000 garments , 1,000,000
surgical dressings and 87,000 pages ol
Braille. They have made 15,000 motor
calls and fed 22,000 persons in canteen
service. In 500 communities the Red
Cross Cha pter is the only family welfare
agency,
agency .
Foreign Operations
While the Red Cross work is lar gely
carried on at home, it has in recent years
rendered important assistance during times
of disas ter in the following countries:
France , Belgium , Italy, Austria , Germany,
Hun gary, Poland , J ugo-slavia , Czecho-slovakia
, Roumania , Bulgaria , Albania ,
Greece, Turkey, Finland , Esthonia , Latvia,
Lithuania , Russia , Siberia , Ja pan , China ,
Chile, Ecuador , Columbia and Costa
Rica.
The position of the Red Cross among
American institutions is unique in that ,
while cer tain duties have been placed upon
it by Congress , it is at the same time a
volun teer organization. Its membershi p
is a volun tary membershi p; its work is
carried on by volun tary contributions and
membershi p dues. The amount of work
that it can accomplish , therefore , is direc t ly
measured by the amount of support which
the American people give it.
Durin g the annual roll call on next
Monda y and Tuesday, the Red Cross
offers the people an opportunity to rea ffirm
their faith in the ideal of service for which
it stands—to pay their membership dues
and become a part of the organization for
the coming year. If you—one person in
millions—fail to join , it may seem a little
thin g. But the Red Cross is your Red
Cross—you are a part of it; and if you fail
to join, by jus t so much the Red Cross fails
of Us high purix )sc.
The Red Cross has ke pt faitli with you .
Join durin g the Roll Call and keep faith
with the Red Cross.

Hershe y Jury Says
Mumford Car Hit
Readin g Merchant
' Samuel H. Mumford , 33 years old, of
Lebanon , was the driver of the automobile
tha t struck Harry M. Albright , Readin g
shoe merchan t, on the William Penn
highway at Her shey, on the night of March
5. Albright died shortly afterwards from
injuries received in the accident.
This was the verdict returned by coro-ner
's jury at an inquest at the Hose House
of the Hershey Volunteer Fire Co., on
Friday afternoon .
The text of the verdict follows : "Harry
M. Albright came to his death by being
struck by an automobile driven by Samuel
H. Mumford , of Lebanon , on the night of
March 5 on the William Penn highway at
Hershe y."
Six witnesses were called to the stand by
Dr . J. H. Kreider , county coroner , among
them Robert Mumford , brother of the
man named by the jury as driver of the
car whose testimony shed some light on the
occurrence. He was with his brother the
night of the accident.
Two important points were brought out
by the questioning of Robert. He said
he was seated in th e rear of the car and
saw a man step out from between two
cars at the point pr evious witnesses had
described as the scene of the accident.
He said his brother who was drivin g
swung the car around and skidded in
passing the two parked car s but insisted
he did not know that the man he saw in the
road had been struck.
"After driving on for a short distance ,"
Rober t testified , "my brother stopped the
car and got out. He walked back a short
distance and then returned to th e car. He
got in and drove off witho ut making any
comment. "
The witness then related that a short
time later Samuel asked him to take the
wheel and tha t he dr ove the rest of the
way to Harrisburg.
Corp. Harr y C. Gabel , of the State High-way
Patrol , related the details of the arrest
of Samuel Mumford at his home in Leba-non
two days after the accident. He said
that as he confronted Mumfor d, he asked ,
"Do you know what I'm here for? " and
that Mumford replied, "Yes. "
Gabel then said that Mumford said he
did not know that he had struck anyone.
The policeman then told of inspecting the
Mumford au tomobile and finding that the
left front fender had been replaced and
there was fresh paint on parts of the ma-chine.
Gabel located a dama ged fender which
the authorities say was removed from the
car in the Mumford garage. It was shown
durin g the inquest.
Raymond Weiss, another passenger in
the Mumford car , was called to the stand
and said he did not know that anyone was
struck . He corrobora ted the testimony
of Rober t Mumford that Samuel had lelt
the car and re turned without making any
explanation. Two women who were in
the car were called but their testimony
threw no light on the accident.
Herman Seavers , a gara ge mechanic ,
who was summoned by the Albright' s
when they had trouble with their car said
he was in the Albright car , havin g driven
it a shor t distance, when he heard a car
approach from the rear going in the direc-tion
of Harrisbur g. He said he heard a
thump and stepping out of the car saw
Albri ght lying in the roadway. He said
the car that passed was without lights and
was going between thirty-five and forty
miles an hour when it passed.
Mrs . Albright and her husband had left
their car while Seavers made some ad-justments.
They were in the highway be-tween
their own car and that of Seavers
which he had stopped a short distance
behind it.
Mrs. Albri ght said that as her husband
stepped out from between the cars he was
knocked down by a passing automobile.
Mrs. Albri ght corroborated Seavers ' testi-mony
that the car that passed at the time
of the accident , which was 10.15 o'clock at
night , was wi t hout lights and she said it
was going at a rate of forty miles an hour.
Tiie jur y which heard the evidence com-prised
: J. It. Kreider , foreman ; George
Laffer ty, A. W. Flowers , Thomas Black ,
J ohn A. Balsba ugh and J ohn Snavcly.
District Attorney Robert T. Fox attended
the inquest and frequently questioned the
wi tnesses.
Samuel Mumford was present with
Edward E. Beidleman , his counsel. Mum-lord
is held in bail on a charge of involun-tary
manslaughter. District Attorney
Fox will set a date for a preliminary hear-ing
within a few days , lie said af ter the
conclusion of the inquest.

Hershe y Baseball Team
Roundin g Into
Championship Form
The Hershey baseball team had its
initial Spring practice on Saturday after-noon
on the Park field, with a large turnout
of players , who will this year battle for
positions on the regular team. It was an
ideal day for baseball and after a short
workou t they were cutting them over the
diamond in mid-season form.
Hershe y will be well fortified with base-ball
material for a great team this year and
some keen competition will prevail in order
to land a regular berth on the team. In
the outer gardens , Shaub and Miller are
almost cer tain of their jobs as these two
men are hard to excel in their positions in
left and center and they have been hitting
the ball with a vengeance. In right either
Hefflefin ger, the Elizabethtown star , who
has been dickerin g for a place on the
Hershe y team and Johnson, the Perr y
County star , will have the call. As yet
Hefflefinger has not reported for practice
so that position is an open proposition.
Third-base will be guarded again this year
by the "old reliable " Markey Albert.
Markey was eating them up in practice
on Saturday and his whip is as good as
ever so he is prac tically assured of a place
on the team. At second , Bordner and
Dissney are fighting it out for the assign-ment.
Joh nny says his arm , which was
the source of much trouble last season, is
in excellent shape and he looks forward to a
big year. Dissney hasn 't had much
chance to show his stuff yet but looks the
part of a fast player and will be a hard man
to keep off the team. Lester Smith and
"Red " Shertzer are out after the first-base
assignment and it will be a hard proposi-tion
to pick the regular guardian for the
initial bag. Smith is a valuable man as
he hits from either side of the plate and is a
consistent sticksmith. Shertzer , who was
one of the mains tays on the Palmyra team
last year is a real ball player and has all the
ear marks of a great future. At short ,
Shaffer , of last year's team will be opposed
by Dissney. who also plays short as well as
second. Mana ger Ream will also be
available to fill in at short or second should
the necessity arise or in case the pitching
department does not require his services.
For backstops , "Red " Zimmerman and
"Whi tey " Smith will probably bear the
brun t of the work. Both are hard hitters
and it is a toss up as to who will be the
first strin g catcher .
To date the pitching staff is composed of
seven hurlers , namely . Storm , Books,
Prowell , Ream, Long, Stover and Wagner ,
In the workou ts. Storm , the Hanover boy
showed up to good advantage. It is a
little earl y to make any predictions as he
has been just lobbing them over in practice
so far but he has all the appearances and
actions of a finished pitcher and great
things are expected of him this year.
"Letty " Prowell was also seen shooting
"em" over and he is sure to be a valuable
addi tion to the team this season. Stover ,
the high school hurler will probabl y get
his chance in the big show. This boy is a
comer and will greatly strengthen the
Hershey staff. Long and Wagner have
not yet reported for practice but state that
they are in condition and will be seen in the
field in the near future.
"Vic" Basehore , who was the only hold-out
has finally come to terms and has
accepted his contract. "Vic " is a star of
the first magnitude and is a valuable
acquisition to the team. With Shaub ,
Miller and Basehore in the outfield , the
Hershe y team will have a trio of flychasers
that will be hard to beat.

Ode to Her First Biscuits
(With apologies to Alfred Lord Tenny

Break , break , break
This thick plate you hit in three ,
And I would that my knife could butter
The biscuits she made for me.
O, well forthe bachelor cha p
That he eats Wa stylish cafe,
O well for the single guy
That his biscuits are not like baked clay
And that sparks fly from my knife .
Like the lightning that breaks on the hill
But O, for a small stick of dynamite
And the loan of a pneumatic drill.
Break , break , break
This perfec tly good plate in three ,
But the tooth I smashed as I bit into you
Will never come back to me.

is, by poisons of the body itself.

"Wages of Virtue "
Colorfull y Stars
Gloria Swanson
Without question , the most colorful of
all Gloria Swanson 's starrin g pictures for
Paramount is "Wa ges of Virtue ," which
will be shown at the Hershey Central
Thea tre on Saturday evening, April 18th ,
at 6.30 o'clock and 8.30 o'clock.
Most of the action of the production
takes place in the litt le Algerian barrack
town of Sidi-bel-Abbes where the French
Forei gn Legion is stationed: It is in this
sequence of scenes that you see splendid
Spahis , roman tic looking Chasseurs d'-
Afrique , burnoosed Arabs , and swaggering
Turcos , arro gant in fez and frock coats,
mingling with the soldiers of the Legion.
In the bazaars are the merchan ts, the
Greek "kuskus " sellers , the coffee vendors ,
the peddlers of water , the bootblacks in
their French "ber ets ," and the little black
newsboys, naked except for white trousers ,
carr ying their bundles of "Echoes d'Oran ,"
and scut tling put of the way of huge,
clumsy wagons piled high with purple
stained casks of Algerian wine.
In the doorways are crouched the miser-able
mendican ts, whinin g piteously for
alms, the singers , and the pious holy men
"playing their way into heaven " on one-stringed
instruments. And at night, on
the balconies , appear the veiled and bang-led
women, holding candles under then -
faces to illumine their charms .
It is against such a back ground that
Miss Swanson , as Carmeli ta, and Ben
Lyon, young American recruit in the
Legion, carr y on one of the most delightful
romances that has ever reached the screen.
Norman Trevor and Ivan Linow also
have prominent parts in these scenes.
Trevor is Marvin 's (Lyon) guardian , and
Linow has the "heavy " role of the regi-mental
bull y, Luigi, ex-circus stron g man.
Joe Moore , the youngest of the 'movie
Moores '; Arrnand Cortez , Adrienne d'-
Ambricourt and Paul Panzer complete the
all-star cast.
High School Girls
Finish Successful
Season
Hershe y High School Girls Basketball
team closed a successful season last week ,
winnin g a majority of their games. Dur-ing
the season the Hershey Girls met some
of the strongest girls teams in this section
and while not always on the winning end
put up exceptionally strong games against
older and more experienced teams. A
schedule comprising twenty-five games
was completed of which the local team won
13 and lost 12. Much of the success of the
team is largely due to Miss Helen Crozier ,
whose untiring efforts as coach did much
to give the Hershey girls a winning combi-nation.

Hershe yites Hold
Their Own Little
Fashion Parad e
Not to be done by the thousands who
wended in one stead y stream to shore
resorts for their Easter parades , Hershe y
staged its own little parade under a perfec t
sky.
Chocolate and Cocoa Avenues, and
Hershey Park , each held its quota of gayly-gowned
women and immacula te men,
viewing with one another in the splend or
of their att ire.
Pretty girls, three in a row , four arm-in-arm
, in couples, and even alone , were
glorious splashes of color against the
arrivin g green of spring in the trees , the
bushes and turf. Hats and coats in light ,
flashing solid colors seemed to predomi-nate.
Bright reds , canar y, buff, Alice
blue, henna , tan , gray, brown black , all
had their propoaents , so long as solid
colors or contras ts in solid colors were
main tained.
The forecas t that gowns are to be worn
shor ter this year was more than justified.
They may be wearin "em higher in Hawaii ,
as the popular song has it, but the hems
were not as high as the mode-makers have
have been predicting. All the skir ts
extending some inches below the knees.
Ensemble dresses were worn by young
and old alike. Confections of georgette ,
crepe de chine , serge, kasha , satin , maro-cain,
and all the newest materials elabor-ately
embroidered were seen everywher e.
Pigeon egg blues and various shades of tan
seemed the more popular colors.
A feminine jieadgear varied anywhere in
size and contour from soup dishes to
minia ture sunshades. Tightly fitting per-ruque
hats, with loops of gathered silk or
crepe coiled about the ears like a cone-shell
were popular with younger women,
while mammoth brims of lace and straw
shaded the features of many of the matrons
Buck Jones.Coming
in "The Trail Rider "
It wasn't so many years ago that the
strife between the cattle men of the north-ern
and the southern ran ges was savage
and long drawn out—the reason being that
nearl y all Texas catt le were infected with
the Texas cattle fever tick. Tha t disease
was almost always fatal to cattle , and when
the Texas herds started Nor th , Kansas
ranchers barred the way at the border.
Man y a cowpuncher "went West with his
boots on" durin g the resultant gunfights.
The powerful story of "The Trail Rider ."
writ ten by George Washington Ogden , has
that old cattle war as a basis. It is a tale
that develops thrillin g situations and gives
the dashing Buck Jones ample opportuni-ties
to show that the man who lived longest
was the fellow whose gun leaped from its
holster first. The escape from the fore-fron
t of a herd of stampeding cattle is
wildly pulse quickenin g.
It is a William Fox production , and will
be shown at the Hershe y Central Theatre
on Tuesda y evening, April 21, at 7.30
o'clock.

Y. W. NOTES
Hershe y Dept. Store
Has 35 Cars Of
Old-Sized Coal
In announcin g the coal prices for the
1925 Spring season, Mr. John R. Zoll,
manager ol the Hersh ey Dept. Store , offers
a lew umely suggestions about your next
winter 's supply oi coal.
Save money by placing your order now
and secure tne Spring red uction prices, is
Mr. Zoli's advice.
Do you know that the two-year contract
between the anthracite miner s and the
operators will expire in September 1st?
Considering the lact that thousands of
miners were on strike for weeks last winter ,
disregarding their working agreement ,' it-would
natura lly lead one to think that
something is going to happen on the first
ol next September.
You insure your property against loss by
fire or theft , why take a chance on your
coal supply which so vitally affects your
comfor t.1'
The coal as sold by the Hershey Dept.
Store is selected only from the best of
mines and is carelully screened before
delivery to the consumer. Not only the
best ol coal, but also the best service is
turrushed to its patrons.
Mr. Zoll states that he was fortunate in
obtainin g 35 cars of coal of the old sizes,
and the prices will be as follows :
Mahono y or Shamokin White Ash—
Egg, $13.50; Stove, $13.80; Chestnut .
$1.5.50; Pea, $10.50; Buckwheat , $8.00.
Lykens Valley Red Ash—Egg, $14.60;
Stove, $15.00; Chestnut , $14.60; Pea,
$11.30.
The above schedule will apply until the
35 cars are sold, when the new standard-ization
will be in effect.
The resizin g of the screen under the new
classifica tion means that in every ton of
pea coal will be found 15 per cent of buck-wheat
; in every ton of chestnut will be
found 15 per cent of pea, and so on through
all the grades. In every instance sizes
tha t previously had been standard , will be
mixed with a smaller size and sold under
the name 'of the lar ger. With 15 per cent
of the smaller used in every instance , the
re tail reductions of from 50 cents to $1 a
ton will mean nothing.
