The Hershey DepartmentStore is send-ing
out invitations to the AutumnMillinery
Opening that will be held this week, Friday
and Saturday, September 22hd and. 23rd;
Miss Olive Royer, who. is in charge of the
Millinery Department, assures us that this
will be one of'the'very best millinery disr,
plays, ever presented by the. miHirtery de ¦partment ^. A large ni^bV,of. tMfla'tes't1

„ John Lyons, who-.hae.charge' of th^,Hei»-
shey Laundry," states,that in the ver^y near
future he is going to have a laundry box
placed ju st as you enter the door On the
Drug Depatrment of the Hershey Dept.
Store. This is a progressive move and
should have been done a long time ago.
Mr. and Mrs. William Brinker, accom-panied
by Mr. and Mrs. Austin Sholly,
motored to Ephrata on Sunday, visiting
the "Cloisters", and later motoring to
Lancaster. v

Dr. J. 1?. Zimmerman likes to play tennis,
and they tell us he strokes tie ball with
consummate skill and severity. He has
asked us to give some publicity in our col-umns,
playing up the poor condition of the
Hershey Park tennis courts. As we under-stand
it, the wall that' divides the two
courts has fallen down, and the net sags at
one end. The players that use these courts
say they keep the courts rolled and limed,
but they are unable to do stone masonry
work. Upon the face of it, this seems a
trivial matter. It seems to us that inas-much
as Mr. Hershey has donated the
courts without any cost to the players, that
the least the players could do is to keep the
courts in playing condition. Why not
pass the hat, or else put on a minstrel show
There is a saying that the Lord helps those
who help themselves, so why not get busy
the snow will soon be'upon us.
Morris Hinkle last week hunted up a
likely .fishing hole in the Conewago creek,
and heheoked^hd landed a beautilul 171-2
inch salmon. The Hershey Dept. Store is
awarding prizes for the largest bass, the
largest trout, the largest pike, the largest
sucker and the biggest catfish—but does
notr give any prize for ' salmon. Too bad,
Morris. Anyway, you got the salmon, and
that helps.
Herman Early, better known as Skip ,
was a member af the Pinchot party on Fri-day.
"Skip" is running for Legislature,
to represent the First District. He cer-tainly
is climbing the ladder of fame—First
he was a machinist, than an automobile
salesman, and now a garage owner, topping
it off as a member of the State Legislature.
Go to it, "Skip", old boy, you are liable to
be sent to Congress later on.
Herbert Coleman, who used to keep the
factory elevators in running order.but who
is now employed on the Reading railroad,
is a daddy The stork came td'Hdckers-ville
last week and left Herbert a little baby
girl. As Herbert is a regular fellow, he
kept the soft drink counter at Erb's em-porium
busy for quite some time, and all
his friends congratulated him with much
zrat and fervor.
- Alfonzo Olive, of Herahey, and Miss
Josephine Gasper, of Swatara, were recent-ly
married at the St. Joan of Arc Church,
with nuptial Mass, officiated by Rev. P. J.
Phelan. The bride was attended by Miss
Rosie DeAngelis, and the groom by ^ugus-to

were put in the Swatara and Quitapahilla
creeks.

Hershey Trolleys
This was one of the bannejc years' for the
Hershey TransiJ: Company. In fact more
passengers.have been carried to Hershey
Park this summer than in all its, history.
During the month of July, ther,e were 329,
426 fares, surpassing all previous records.

the
transit
system of Hershey is equally^asinte^es^jg
and impressive as.the development df the
t6wn itself. Every attention was devoted
to establishing and maintaining a reputa-tion
for comfort, easy riding and prompt
and efficient service. " .
It has lbw!Jgrades, perfect ballast, heavy
rails, andjalltof its cars are strictlyjrnodern
—which explains why ridingpn the Hershey
lines is so much more comfortable than
on some others; Moreover, there is every-thing
for safety and speed.
; The Hershey Transit system totals 35
miles. It extends westward to Hummels-town
where it makes half hourly connect-ions
with Harrisburg. •The short line east-ward
is to Palmyra where it connects with
the old line to Lebanon. On its own line
to Lebanon the run from Lebanon to Her-shey
is made in -45 minutes and from Leba-anori
to Hummelstown in an hour. This
is a particularly fine ride through a beau-tiful
country. The route to EUzabtehtown
is of the same quality and attractiveness.
Handling the crowds" is so admirably
done that it has drawn forth considerable
praise from the patrons of the line. There
is no confusion and at nights and on holi-days,
when the jams were at their peaks,
these have been managed with excellent
skill. ¦• •
The Transit Company has gone through
the past year with hardly a deviation in its
schedule.
Mr. J. R. Kreider, the superintendent
ancrhis assistant "Posey" Flowers, are to
be congratulated upon their excellent
record.
The employees of the Hershey Transit
company are all chosen for their ability,
tact and resourcefulness. Moreover, they
are courteous at all times, seemingly im-possible
to ruffle their serene dispositions.
Besides this, they are ever-willing, always
on the job— (be it hot or cold, rain or snow,
thundershower or blizzard) —and always
equal to any occasion.
The list of employees are as follows: :-
Motormen—Benj. F. Bomgardner, Wm.
Brandt, John Foreman, Herbert Straub,
Franklin Spangler, A. K. Gerloch, Joe

also pitched a cracker-jaclcgame. Ife-putt*
ed himself out of seyerjal holes^like a big
leaguer. . < - -^ It was a pity that more Hershey people
were not out to see the game. There were
as many Hummelstown people present as
there were Hersheyites. Why is it there is
more town spirit in the adjoining towns,
Hummelstown and Palmyra for instance,
than there is in Hershey? This shouldn't
be. Is it because we are growing too clann-ish.
We trust not. We should, every one
of us—not the other fellow, but 100 pull
together and put Hershey on the map;
not only in chocolate and cocoa Jrat in all
community matters; not only in kinder-garten
and community nursing, but in
athletic sports, meaning baseball, football,
basketball, tennis,, quoit pitching and
marbles.
Hummelstown came to bat, as though
they were going, to do something, and they
did—they scored a run. This is how they
did it. Zentmeyenwalked Shuey, Burruge
sacrificed. Hassler tried hard but popped
to Elmer Swartz. Zimmerman made a
nice hit, scoring Shuey. Straub flied to
Hoerner. -One run.
Hershey came up with a determination
to at least tieing the score, but failed;
Henry flied -to Burruge. Red Swartz
bunted, but failed to beat the ball. Daniels
fanned. No runs.
In the second Hummelstown tried to
continue their good work. Allwine gave a
difficult one for Haps. Fenner flied to
Daniels. Cassel lined one to Zentmeyer,
who made a nice stop of it. No runs.
Hershey wanted to get that one run, and
Albert thought he could do it.- He lined
one out to center, but Fenner pulled it in
nicely. Zimmerman fanned, and Elmer
Swartz erjded the inning by putting one at
Shuey's f eet. No runs.
For Hummelstown Eby gave Elmer
Swartz a swift one. Shuey fouled, and
Polly got under it. Burruge popped one
to Zimmerman. Noruns. .,-.
For Hershey Haps was thrown out by
Shuey. • Hoerner hit at all the wide ones,
and fanned. Zentmeyer to Straub. No
runs.
Hassler gave a nice one for Haps who
made a corking scoop of it. Zimmerman
laced one to Albert, as did Straub, and
Albert was equal to the situation, making
wonderful stops in both instances and
lightning throws to first. No runs.
Polly tried to kill the ball, and fanned.
Red Swartz lined one to Eby. Danjels
gave one to Allwine. No runs.
For Hummelstown in the fifth inning All-wine
put one out in Hoerner's garden patch,
who made a nice catch. Fenner lined one
to Albert, who made a nice catch. Cassel
popped to Albert.
Hershey had a chance to scor in the fifth,
but fell down on the job. Albert put one
to Straub, but Eby muffed the throw and
Albert was safe. Zimmerman should have
tried to lay the ball down, instead struck
at all die wide 'ones, and fanned. Albert
tried to steal. Elmer Swartz flied to Cassel.
Noruns,
In the sixth Eby fanned. Shuey lined a
hot one to Zentmeyer,, who gloved it, and
the ball passed through Haps. Burruge
tried to bring in Shuey, flied one to Swartz.
Hassler popped a high one to Zentmeyer.
No runs.
. Haps bunted and outran the ball. In
this inning Hassler fanned three men in
succession, Hoerner, Zentmeyer and Hen-,
ry. No runs.
In the seventh Zimmerman popped to
Haps. Straub gave Albert a nice jme.
Allwine was thrown out by Zentmeye/ wfc
runs, .^ *
Hershey thought this was their lucky
inning, but it was over in the one, two,
three order. Swartz to Hassler, Daniels
to Hassler and Albert fouling to Eby. No
runs.
Fenner made a safe hit through short
and second, Cassel gave one to Haps, forc-ing
Fenner. Eby made a long hit to Hoer-ner.
Shuey fouled to Albert. Burruge
ended the Inning by giving Daniels a* nice
one. No runo.
In the eighth Hershey got busy. Zimm-erman
placed one to Straub,, who made a
wild heave to Eby, Zimmerman reached
second, Swartz was equal to the situation ,
and banged the ball for 'a single.scorlng
Zimmerman,and. .tieing-^ the score (Great

Two High-Class
Movie Attractions
Rich toilettes, lots of them, of the latest
style, are a feature of "The Ordeal," Agnes
Ayres latest Paramount starring.vehicle
which will be screened at the Hershey
Central Theatre on Saturday, Sept. 23rd.
.Miss Ayres interprets the part of a young
widow who inherits a fortune which she
will lose if she marries again." Widows
witivmoney are expected to be well-dressed,
hence Miss'Ayres'Wsffdrobeiin this.picture
is said to be'a'reai dehghfr'foHfte'feminule.

For instance, there's a' pheasant blue
evening gown with opalescent sequins and
crystal beads, finished with velvet to
match. Specially striking are sljppers and
fan of blue pheasant-feathers. • ' ¦ •
For motoring and street-wear Miss Ayres
has a moleskin suit and a gorgeous ermine
wrap with an ermine toque trimmed with
whitp-tSqwe feathers.
Simple but striking in its line is a dinner
gown of taupe chiffon embossed in velvet
flowers of the same tone. A striking walk-ing
dress is of navy blue faille brocaded in
black satin.
Conrad Nagle, one of the most popular
leading men of the screen, plays opposite
Agnes Ayres. Mr. Nagle's role is that of a
young doctor, and it is said to be a remark^
ably true to life character as its creator was
himself a doctor. For before he became an
author, W. Somerset Maugham was a grad-uate
physician in Great Britain. In Amer-ica,
however, his medical skill would be a
total loss as he is licensed to practice in
England only.
"The Ordeal," was adapted by Beulah
Marie Dix, famous among Harvard grad-uates
as the first woman to win the-George
B. SchieisPrize, awarded annually to the
graduate or undergraduate student of
Harvard or Radcliffe Colleges for the best
thesis for final hours in English. Miss Dix
adapted "The Ordeal" from'W. Somerset
Maughams' first original story for the
screen. t
The last few years has witnessed a\re-markable
revival of interest in the small
town. Broadway no longer forms thV
locale for all the books, plays and stories;
in fact,practicaUy all of our best-known
writers and dramatists are awakeriing to
the fact that they have neglected a fruitful
field for romance, drama and comedy—the
small town. * *'
"A Midnight Bell," Charles Ray's pict-urization
of the famous Charles Hoyt play,
which will be shown at the Hershey Central
Theatre on Tuesday, Sept. 26th,illustrates
life in a small town with a remarkable de-gree
of fidelity, and' demonstrates that a
picture of this kind can be as interesting as
ons based on metropolitan existence.
Among the types of small-town charact-ters
to be found in this production are the
general store owner, who "keeps every-thing,"
but doesn't sell much; the breezy
salesman from the city, who tries to inveigle
the suspicious merchant into buying some-thing
he doesn't want; the station agent,
who feels his importance as the local repre-sentative
of the big railroad; the real estate
dealer, who will sell you anything from a
downtown site to a cemetery lot; the banker
viewed with awe by most of the inhabitants
because of the large sums of money he
handles daily; and the love-sick boys and
maids. "
The lives they lead may be slow, con-sideredjfromithe
viewpoint of the resident
of New York and Chicago, but in a majority
of cases they pity their city brothers and
sisters for their Iack^pf neighborliness and
the fast pace theyJiave to%o to make their
livelihood. '
Extreme care has been exercised in make-ing
the settings for "A Midnight Bell," and
its Main Street is a duplicate of thousands
throughout the country.

obey the law. The Motor Club has been
promised there would be no "wholesale"
action, but would advise all motorists to
exercise extreme care in the borough.
