              Hershey Makin g Efforts
To Obtain Convention
The State Convention of the American
Legion that will be held at Greensbur g on
August 21 to 23, will be represented by
Hershey Post, No. 386, by Norman Stable
and Robert Whittle.
Efforts are being made to have the State
Convention meet in Hershe y for 1925,
acting upon the suggestion of Hon. Lt.
Gov. David J. Davis, of Scranton , Post
State Commander of the Legion ; Wm. B,
Healey , of Wilkes-Barre , National Vice
Commander , and General E. C. Shannon ,
of Columbia , and letters and literature
telling of the advanta ges of Hershey have
been sent to all the Post Commanders in
Pennsylvania with this pur pose in mind.

PENNSYLV ANIA TOWNS OWN AIR
ABOVE THEM , IS RULED
Towns and cities in Penns ylvania have
the legal authority to regulate airplane
traffic—in fact, they have absolute control
above the earth as far an the eye' can sec,
and below the surface to the center of the
earth .
This stran ge ruling was made by Attor-ney
General Woodruff nt the request of
the "city fathers " of Lancaster when citi-zens
deman ded steps be taken to compel
airplanes to remai n nt nn altitude of not
less than 1200 feet while flying over the
city. .
Two recent air plane crashes there , one
coating four lives and the second badly
wreckin g a house, led to a demand for
legislation to enforce "high flying."
hold a convention , being centrall y located
and easily accessible by railroad , trolley
and automobile.
Few cities have such a hall that Hersh ey
boasts of in the Hershe y Convention Hall ,
which easily seats five thousand persona ,
havin g every modern facility and with well-nigh
perfect acoustic properties. Ad-joinin
g the hall is Hershey Park ,' the play-ground
of Central Pennsylvania , furnish-ing
amusement features , which appeal to
young and old. . In addition to these ad-vanta
ges Hershey has ample accommoda-tions
for housin g and lodging thousands of
visitors. , .
It would be a feath er in the cap of the
Hershey Park management if their efforts
to bring th< 1925 convention to Hershe y
would be successful.
Tennis Tournament
Opens This Week
Who is the champion tennis player in
Hershey? This is a much mooted question
and one that has been causing no end of
argument among local players. Hershey
has quite a number of stars or near stars
who are anxious to settle this question.
The big drawback this year is the lack of
place to enjoy the sport. Although tennis
Is listed as one of the Park' s many amuse-ments
, the courts are in a regrettable con-dition
and so far this season, no effort has
been made to get them in shape. Much
talk is current about starting a tennis
tournament to decide just who is the "Bill
Tilden " of Hershey. "Eddie " Hershey,
one of the most enthusiastic of local fol-lowers
has consented to allow the matches
to be played on his court and is anxious to
get the tourn ament in full swing by the
latter part of this week . It has been
suggested to divide the players into two
groups , according to ability, one group to
consist of the senior players and the other
for more mediocre players. A small
entrance fee will be charged , which will be
used to secure a suitable tro phy for the
winner of the tournament. For further
details see Eddie Hershey.
Approximately 175 men are employed
dally in an effort to rush the completion of
the Metropolitan Power Plant in Middle-town
, in order that .within the next several
weeks tests may be made of the various
types of machinery that haa been installed .
The brick work on the three boilers has
been completed and the steel for the pul-verizing
house is practically entirely
erected and the assembling of the coal
pulverizers and the drying equipment was
started last week.

Hershey s Winning
Streak Broken By Cleona
Cleona, the little-known , came to Her-shey
on Thursday evening and smote our
beloved Chocolatiers on the chest with
their mighty willows, and so powerful and
aggressive was their attack that they had
the game on ice before our beloved Choco-latiers
came out of their comatose condi-tion.
In all justice to our beloved Chocolatiers
it might be well to state that it was not
over-confidence that lost the game. Ream's
arm was sore and he wasn't able to put
them across with his old-time velocity, and
consequently the Cleonites took a kindly
liking to his dew-drops. The other de-terming
factor in the Chocolatiers undoing
was the torrid heat , which made the ball
seem to be where it wasn't , consequently
the four errors had something to do with it.
Altho Hershey outbatted the Cleonites,
the offense fell by the wayside when the
opportunity was ripe.

Hershey Takes It
Oat Of Steelton
Steelton was the victim of Hershey
wrath on Saturday afternoon , and a tag
was hung around its shoulders, 14 to 6,
indicating that the Steeltonites was pie for
the Chocolatiers.
Hershey started in with a rush , and
smashed Lauder all around the field for
three runs. They eased up a bit in the
succeeding three innings, but in the fifth
made the score boy hang up two additional
runs , and likewise in the sixth. The
seventh inning was a restful period , and in
the eighth , every man up took a wack at
the ball, and the fusillade was heard above
the hum-dum of all the Park' s varied
amusements.
Poor Steelton never had a look in, and
the score might have been still yet larger—
but what was the use.

'Her Temporar y Hus-band"
Is Side-Splitting
The central idea of "Her Temporary
Husband" , which is to be the special offer-ing
of the Ella Kramer players at the Her-shey
Park Theatre on Thursday, Friday
and Saturday of this week; may be summed
up in the lines of the two principal charac-ters
when the leading woman turns to the
leading man and says: "You are my tem-porary
husband" , and his answer is "Yes,
dear; but you are my permanent wife."
"Her Temporary Husband" , in which
William Courtenay played the principal
male role, is one of the real hits of the
present season in New York , a comedy of
side-splitting situations and dialogue that
fairly bubbles over with merriment.
The story deals with a young woman
who is seeking a husband , preferably one
who will die shortly , in order that she may
fulfill her father 's will, marry some one
beside the man she really thinks she loved,
and whom her father had objected to.
secure the money left her and then , after
the death of her temporary husband , marry
the man of her choice. This man is merely
interested in her money but she doesn t
know this. She goes to a sanitarium and
the doctor in charge selects a man who is
likely to die any moment. Unbeknown to
them , Tom, who loves the girl but has
never met her , bribes an attendant to sub-stitute
him, disguised as the dying patient ,
and so the ceremony is performed , the girl
and her conspirator still believing that she
has married the patient with both feet in
the grave.
To go any further with the story would
be to spoil your evening's entertainment.
Let it suffice that it is a riot of merriment.
You'll like the girl, you'll like the man,
you'll be gripped by their quaint love
story, but first , last and always, you'll
"Laugh your sides off."
"Her Temporary Husband" will be done
by the Ella Kramer Players exactly as it
was presented in New York , where it has
been a phenomenal success. It promises
to be a red letter week in local theatrical
history.
Next Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday
by popular request we are repeating "Smi-lin'
Through" . Order your seats earl y.
Artistic Work Unfolding
at Barber Shop
The interior decorators are at work on

Winter season now almost at hand.
In connection with this work the shaving

and courteous supervision of Thomas
Black and his two expert assistants , is
being bedecked and embellished in the
most modem and futuristic mode. When
finished, which Sir Thomas hopes will be
soon, the sooner the better , there will be a
jubilation day, cigars , cigarettes and gum

ever-growing trade. Possibly in addition
to the handiwork of the artists there will be
lace curtains , a magazine rack , a new ice
cooler and a new set of More-to-Gro hair

ACIDS AND CHEMICALS URGED TO
KILL WEEDS
This is the time of the year that weeds
begm to manifest their obnoxious char ac-teristics
and develop to a stage where
people desire to find some way of getting
rid of them permanently. Cutting them
does nothing more than remove them for
a while, but they invariably return many
times stronger for having been mowed
down.
' The state department of agricultur e
considers this problem in a recent bulletin
and recommends goodly doses of salt and
kerosene to kill the weeds. This remedy,
the statement says, is non-poisonous , and
can be handled by the inexperienced with-out
injur y to livestock. "There are acids
and chemicals which are very effective but
which must be used with more care , due to
the fact that they will burn the skin and
clothing and are poisonous to livestock."

{HIMSELF T^and his OROWSTRAMr
OF 25 ARTISTS
IN HIS SENSATIONA L CONCBQT PGOGQANt
Hershey Convention Hall, Sunday, Aug. 17th
Paul Whiteman , the most famous con-ductor
of popular music in the world to-day,
will appear in Hershe y on Sunday
afternoon , August 17*0., at the Hershey
Convention Hall, with his famous orchestra
f of twenty-five artists.
Mr. Whiteman 's name is a household
word throughout the world and the an-nouncement
that he himself will take his
celebrated orchestra for a concert tour is
therefore welcome news to the millions who
are familiar with his work , but are yet to
come in direct contact with his remarkable
personality.
For this personality has drawn to it an
extraordinary grou p of musicians , some of
them the highest paid in the profession ,
and has held them together over a period of
of years, so that the ensemble has now
achieved that high perfection in rythm
tonal color for which it is noted.
Last Februar y Mr. Whiteman presented
a concert at Aeolian Hall, New York City,
which he called "An Experiment in Ameri-can
Music." A carefully prepared pro-gram
including special compositions by
Victor Herbert and George Gershwin was
presented dealing with various types of
modern music, and demonstrating the
musical value and interest of such works.
"Victor Herb ert 's four serenades not only
charming in thematic material but they
demonstrated the fact that his skill in
orchestration extended to handling the
unusual instrum ental combinations that a
jazz band pres ents."
In the Times Olin Downes mentioned ,
"remarkably beautiful examples of scoring
for a few instruments; scoring of singular
economy, balance , color and effectiveness.
Music played as only such players as these
may play it—like the melomaniacs that
they are , bitten by rhythms , that would
have twiddled the toes of St. Anthony. "
Henry T. Finck of the Post thought the
"Livery Stable Blues" far - superior to
Schonberg, Milhaud and the rest of the
futuristic fellows. Mr. Herbert' s "Sere-nades"
were a delightful specimen of
musical mirth , melody and local color;
Paul Whiteman conducted quite as well as
Herbert himself could ; and that is the
highest praise that could possibly be
bestowed on him."
Gilbert Gabriel of the Sun called the
concert , "one long, strong musical cock-tail."
Whatever it was, fun or fol-de-rol ,
glorious , gory or just plain galumphing, it
was wine that needed no blush. Mr.
Whiteman has some amazing musicians
Speaking of the concert , Mr. Henderson , under him and he shines out as an extraor-the
veteran critic of the Herald called it
"One of the most interesting of this busy
season. Mr. Herbert' s music was delight-ful.
Mr. Gershwin 's composition proved
to be a highly ingenious work , treating the
piano in a manner calling for much techni-cal
skill and furnishin g an orchestral back-dinarily
well-rounded musician."
Widespread and insistent demands from
other cities, together with the most en-couraging
results of his New York con-certs,
have led Mr. Whiteman to under-take
the present tour , during the course of
which he will present the programs as
given in New York.
The program for Sunday afternoon 's
concert is as follows:
1. True form of jazz.
a. Dixieland—One-step La Rocca
(An-early discordant jazz tune.)
b. San—One-step
(A similar tune made less blatant by
clever scoring.)
2. Contrast—legitimate scoring vs. jazz-ing.
a. Selection in True Form— "Whisper-ing"
Schonberger
(A foreunner of the modern type of
American music.)
ground in which saxophones , trombones
and clarinets were merged in a really skill-ful
piece of orchestration. If this way lies
^the path toward the upper development of
American modern music into a high art
from , then one can heartily congratulate
Mr. Gershwin on his disclosure of some of
the possibilities. "
"To begin with," wrote Mr. Gilman in
the Tribune , "Mr. Whiteman 's 'experi-ment'
was an uproarious success. This
music conspicuously possessed superb
vitality and ingenuity of rhythm , mastery
of novel and beautiful effects of timbre. "
Deems Taylor of the World found
b. Same selection with jazz treatment.
(How this beautiful number may be
ruined by jazzing.)
3. Comedy selections.
a. Origin of a well known melody.
(Frank appropriati on of themes from
Handel' s 'Messiah. ")
b. "So This Is Venice" (from the
"Carnival of Venice") Thomas
(Imitating- by musical instruments
sounds depicting emotions or noises is
as old as music itself.)-Soloist—Ross
Gorman.
4. Popular compositions with modern
score.
1. "Limehouse Blues" Braham
2. "What 'll I Do"—Waltz....Berlin
3. "Shanghai Lullaby " ..Isham Jones
4. "Wonderful One"—Waltz
Paul Whiteman
5. "Linger Awhile"—Soloist: Michael

(Examples of simple melodies far
