Fashion Show at Store Attracted Great Crowds CENTRAL THEATRE Saturday, October 22:—Douglas MacLean in "The Homestretch." The story concerns a jockey, a trainer, a racetrack follower, who at the time the picture opens, has risen to the ranks of racehorse owners, and of the diffi-culties he encounters when he attempts to abandon his gambling habits. Not only is Mr. MacLean afforded ample opportunity to "get over" sparkling comedy situations, but to display his dramatic ability and his skill with "thrillers" as well. The opening scenes of the story, laid on a famous California race track, are notable for tensely dramatic situations, and a thrilling accident, in which Mr. MacLean plays a prominent part. Throughout the remainder of the picture, clever comedy and dramatic suspense arc delightfully blended and carried through to nn unusual ending. "A Devilish Romeo," a Sunshine Comedy, will complete this bill.' Monday, October 24 :—William Farnum in "His Greatest Sacrifice." Here is a picture that affects the home. How would you answer those questions : Should a wife seek a career of her own, or should she hel p her husband along the road to success? Can a woman find happiness in a career if she separates herself from lmsbnnd mid child , and abandons their lovep These questions arc propounded in this latest William Farnum picture. They arc big, vital questions in this big drama of domestic life . And Mr. Farnum portrays the part of the husband in masterly fashion. You will surely like "His Greatest Sacri-fice," which is a William Fox production. You will like its big thrills and you will agree with the answer as it is worked out. in this picture. The program of the evening will be com-pleted with a Kincto Review. FAREWELL SUPPER TO MR WOLFINGER A .very delightful farewell supper was tendered to Mr, N. W.

SCIENCE AND RELIGION Chase S. Osborn, at one time Governor of Michiga n and well known scientist, in an article in The Forum for October, says: "Wo speak of a thing being discovered , but may there be a discovery of anything that has always been? Indubitabl y it is a dis-covery so far as earthmen nro concerned. "Wo learn in a great many ways, it wojild appear. The operation is exactly that of the wireless method of communication which has been known subconsciously by man for ages, but which ho is just now able to oxtend beyond himself. In the case of man the brain is tho receiving instrument and God is the sender. In order to receive, man must bo in allunement with God, Ho sends His lnessuueH when ll« wills and whenever we, are in aftunement with Him and seek aid and also whenever tho world is ready for n now truth. "Take tho caso of Galileo. Ho wont into the cathedral at Pisa and saw a swinging chandelier and tho law of tho pendulum was registered. Ho did not go there to study and ho had boon in that cathedral many times and had seen that same chandolior as it swung but ho was not in attunement on tho other occasions and did not register anything, although tho law of t?i« pendulum had existed forever and had manifested itself in ia thousand and similar ways, but hud not im pressed a single mind. Jn a similar sccm-ngly accidental way tho law of gravitation was registered by Newton." Tho salamander, a 'kind of lizard , wan believed by tho ancients to livo on flro. Tho wool grown on different parts of nn animal's body is of different strengths, M. Covard , th e head chief In tho household of their British Majestic, receives $10,000 u year. The many friends of Mr. George Shearer, will be glad to learn that he is convalescing in certain manner . and hopes to return to Hershey within the very near future. Mr. Shearer,, it will be recalled,. was stricken last winter with a severe attack of pleural pneumonia. For a long period his condition was exceedingly serious, during which time he was faithfully and devotedly attended by his kinsfolk. Frequently had he drifted close to death's door but his determination to live and his courage in the most crucial moments, coupled with the untiring service of those about bimrbronght him through. He was removed to his home in Cumberland, Maryland, before the sum-mer" season came, where .he has since been convalescing and gradually regaining, under the same faithful -devotion of his kinsfolk, strength and normal health. This good word is brought to us from Mr. W. F. R. Murrie who spent the week-end in Cumberland. Mrs. Murrie, who was visiting during the past week in Cumberland and Miss Sue McEvoy, whose home is in Cumber-land, returned with Mr. Murrie. Mr. Geo. Shearer After Long Siege ' Will Return Soon SUNDAY SCHOOL CONFERENCE The Conference of District No. S, Dauphin County Sunday School Association, was held at Holy Trinity Lutheran Church, Hershey, Monday evening, October 17. Only thirty persons were present which is regrettable, considering that all pastors, Sunday School officers and teachers were expected to be present and all others'interested in Sunday School work were invited. Six schools out of sixteen in the District were represented. A list of vital questions were sent by the County Association, some of which were discussed freely. All of the discussion seemed to lead up to one question—"What is the Sunday School's Greatest Need?" Mr. C. P. Haehnlen, of Hummelstown, was the County Organization's representative. At the close of meeting he pointed out the needs of the County to carry on the work. GAME SEASON OPEN NOVEMBER. 1 The State Game Commission has issued a warning that changes in the State game code have abolished seasons opening October 20, and that the open season for rabbits, quail, squirrels, grouse, wild turkeys and pheasants does not begin until November 1. This warning was issued, according to Seth E. Gordon, secretary of the Commission, because game protectors have reported that many hunters have been preparing to go hunting Thursday, and the State wishes to save trouble for the hunters. A summary of the seasons is printed on the reverse side of the hunter 's license, and Mr. Gordon suggests that hunters read both sides of the licenses before going hunting. Licenses must be displayed on the middle of the hunter's back, according to the code. The Commission has been granted authority to revoke licenses of hunters found violating the game laws.

Wiles, from Philadelphia, delivered a powerful address which was highl y appreciated by tho school. Tho school deserves congratulations for securing such an able speaker. Saturday afternoon the Hershey High School football . team met and defeated the Hummelstown High . team to the tune of 18-0. The game proved' a fitting opening to the local high .school's home football season, as they distinctly out-played their opponents throughout the game. The Hershey boys had their own way and at no time was the outcome of the game doubtful. Hershey's aerial attack was very successful making repeated gains by forward passes to Tinney and Leithiser, the Hershey ends. The Hum-melstown line was unable to prevent Ma-grini and Shea from ploughing through with their line plunges for steady gains. Each touchdown was well earned, being made after much line plunging and many end runs. Magrini, the Hershey quarterback, made two of the touchdowns by line plunges and Hitz the left-half-back made the other one by a pretty end run with the aid of excellent interference. Nye and Ebersole played well for Hummelstown. The Lineup : Hummelstown H. S. Hershey H. S. Ebersole .-E. E Leithiser Achey L. T Ferucci. Buser . L. G Gerlach R. Spire G Hackman Procter R.

The Athletic Association, the football team, and the authorities of the High School take this opportunity to express their ap-preciation to Mr. A. H. Nowlen, the local grocery store and' restaurant proprietor, who kindly consented to print the football schedules for the Hershey High School. Mr. Nowlen was an enthusiastic rooter for the high school team in the game against Hummelstown on Saturday. The generosity of Mr.. Nowlen enabled us to put our schedules into the hands of the public. Our next home game is on October 29. Come over to the Park field and cheer the boys on to another victory. The Sophomore Class held a meeting in the High School on Monday afternoon at 4 o'clock.

Mr. and Mrs! Glen Wells Initial Lyceum Course TRAILING ARBUTUS FOUND BY HIKERS The "green tree," three miles south of Hershey, well known to many hikers of this and 6ther communities, was visited on Satur-day by the Harrisburg Natural. History Society. Forty-three members of the society walked from Hummelstown to view this rare specimen of the woods. It is a prostrate juniper (Juniperus siberica), the ranbehes lay flat on the ground, the ends turn up to a height of about three feet , the whole forming a circle forty feet in diameter. The tree is common through the New England states and farther north but it is very rare in this state. An unusual find on the trip was a beautiful spray of trailing arbutus in full bloom . This beautiful and fascinating plant blooms pro> fuscly on the "Sand Hills," as they are known and in the Springtime many wonderful bouquets and baskets of this fragrant flower arc gathered. The "green tree" is being visited each week, by out-door enthusiasts and lovers of the woods, who reside in this immediate section but none have reported finding arbutus in bloom since April, the regular season, has gone by.

SCIENCE AND RELIGION Chase S. Osborn, at one time Governor of Michiga n and well known scientist, in an article in The Forum for October, says: "Wo speak of a thing being discovered , but may there be a discovery of anything that has always been? Indubitabl y it is a dis-covery so far as earthmen nro concerned. "Wo learn in a great many ways, it wojild appear. The operation is exactly that of the wireless method of communication which has been known subconsciously by man for ages, but which ho is just now able to oxtend beyond himself. In the case of man the brain is tho receiving instrument and God is the sender. In order to receive, man must bo in allunement with God, Ho sends His lnessuueH when ll« wills and whenever we, are in aftunement with Him and seek aid and also whenever tho world is ready for n now truth. "Take tho caso of Galileo. Ho wont into the cathedral at Pisa and saw a swinging chandelier and tho law of tho pendulum was registered.

The many friends of Mr. George Shearer, will be glad to learn that he is convalescing in certain manner . and hopes to return to Hershey within the very near future. Mr. Shearer,, it will be recalled,. was stricken last winter with a severe attack of pleural pneumonia. For a long period his condition was exceedingly serious, during which time he was faithfully and devotedly attended by his kinsfolk. Frequently had he drifted close to death's door but his determination to live and his courage in the most crucial moments, coupled with the untiring service of those about bimrbronght him through. He was removed to his home in Cumberland, Maryland, before the sum-mer" season came, where .he has since been convalescing and gradually regaining, under the same faithful -devotion of his kinsfolk, strength and normal health. This good word is brought to us from Mr. W. F. R. Murrie who spent the week-end in Cumberland. Mrs. Murrie, who was visiting during the past week in Cumberland and Miss Sue McEvoy, whose home is in Cumber-land, returned with Mr. Murrie. Mr. Geo. Shearer After Long Siege ' Will Return Soon SUNDAY SCHOOL CONFERENCE The Conference of District No. S, Dauphin County Sunday School Association, was held at Holy Trinity Lutheran Church, Hershey, Monday evening, October 17.

Six schools out of sixteen in the District were represented. A list of vital questions were sent by the County Association, some of which were discussed freely. All of the discussion seemed to lead up to one question—"What is the Sunday School's Greatest Need?" Mr. C. P. Haehnlen, of Hummelstown, was the County Organization's representative. At the close of meeting he pointed out the needs of the County to carry on the work. GAME SEASON OPEN NOVEMBER. 1 The State Game Commission has issued a warning that changes in the State game code have abolished seasons opening October 20, and that the open season for rabbits, quail, squirrels, grouse, wild turkeys and pheasants does not begin until November 1. This warning was issued, according to Seth E. Gordon, secretary of the Commission, because game protectors have reported that many hunters have been preparing to go hunting Thursday, and the State wishes to save trouble for the hunters. A summary of the seasons is printed on the reverse side of the hunter 's license, and Mr. Gordon suggests that hunters read both sides of the licenses before going hunting. Licenses must be displayed on the middle of the hunter's back, according to the code. The Commission has been granted authority to revoke licenses of hunters found violating the game laws.

Saturday afternoon the Hershey High School football . team met and defeated the Hummelstown High . team to the tune of 18-0. The game proved' a fitting opening to the local high .school's home football season, as they distinctly out-played their opponents throughout the game. The Hershey boys had their own way and at no time was the outcome of the game doubtful. Hershey's aerial attack was very successful making repeated gains by forward passes to Tinney and Leithiser, the Hershey ends. The Hum-melstown line was unable to prevent Ma-grini and Shea from ploughing through with their line plunges for steady gains. Each touchdown was well earned, being made after much line plunging and many end runs. Magrini, the Hershey quarterback, made two of the touchdowns by line plunges and Hitz the left-half-back made the other one by a pretty end run with the aid of excellent interference. Nye and Ebersole played well for Hummelstown. The Lineup : Hummelstown H. S. Hershey H. S. Ebersole .-E. E Leithiser Achey L. T Ferucci. Buser . L. G Gerlach R. Spire G Hackman Procter R.
