See Hershey 11 Years Ago How many of us were in Hershey 11 years ago when we celebrated our tenth anniversary? To give us an opportunity of taking a peep at Hershey and of Hersheyites 11 years ago the pictures that were taken at that time will be shown at the Hershey Central Theatre on Thursday evening, April 17th. You will see all of the office celebntes parading down Chocolate Avenue all dolled up in high silk hats, frock coats, etc., looking the very acme of perfection—they certainly were a manly bunch. You will want to see them—you will get many a laugh while looking at these 1913 Rudolph Valentines. And then you will see the 1913 flappers all dolled up in the brezziest, niftiest and latest styles as then decreed by Dame Fashion, gracefully seated on artistic floats drawn by magnificent mules. My, but they created a furore as they passed by— and many a poor fellow lost his heart on that day. To again gaze upon this picture of loveliness will be a pleasure none of us will want to deny ourselves. We had a band 11 years ago—and it was a good one, and you will wonder why it was knocked higher then a cocked hat when you see these musicians pass by. The pictures will not consist only of the parade, but will show scenes about the town. These pictures will be shown in conjunction with "The Steadfast Heart" and we wonder how everybody will be able to see the pictures, so great will be the demand to see this double attraction Don't forget the date. There will be no raise in prices. RED CROSCSL AOPTPHEIANLGS FOR OLD The Hershey Red Cross takes this means of appealing to the people of Hershey and vicinity to send in bundles of old clean clothing. This clothing is gone over and sent to National headquarters where it is forwarded to those who are greatly in need of clothing, as in the Near East, Germany and elsewhere. Surely, everyone of us can And something around the house that can be utilized for this purpose. All it needs, perhaps, la a little thought upon our part and a little exertion, but our efforts will be repaid, perhaps a thousand-fold, and no doubt St. Peter will give us a white mark which will help to counterbalance our many black ones. As it is let all of us send at least one bundle to the Red Cross rooms in the next few days. , , NURSING REPORT FOR MARCH 1924 Number of nursing visits 37 Number Instructive and demonstrative visits 154 Number investigation visits 154 Number social service visits 13 Number visits to schoola 24 Total number of visits 382 School Nursing Report Number school rooms visited 85 Number of pupils in class room Insp... 1713 Number individual pupils inspected... 227 Number pupils who have symptoms of communlcipnl diseases 15 Number parents consultations at school 26 Number sanitary inspection visits.... 12 Number first aid treatments 10 Number handkerchief drills 15 Notes to parents 16 Respectfully submitted, ElltabethHkh, Com, Nurse.

Baseball Meeting On Frida y Evening JfOn Friday evening a baseball meeting will be held at the Hershey Men's Club, and Secretary John F. Snavely urges all the baseball players and all baseball enthus-iasts living in Hershey and immediate vicinity to attend in order to determine just what can be done to have Hershey represented on the baseball map. Baseball is a community proposition. Every little village and hamlet in the Union almost, supports a representative nine, of which the community is justly proud. We can have an excellent team here J the proper community spirit is evi-denced, and the fans want a team. Everybody is riven a cordial invitation to be present on Friday evening. It does not matter if you aren't a ball player, come around and show your enthusiasm. Join the ranks of the fans and help put this job over. There is one thing assured, however, there is no intention of putting on an ex-pensive team as last year—the fans won't support it for one thing, and for another we didn 't get the worth of our money. Don't forget the meeting, and don't forget to be there. The regular monthly meeting of the Woman's Missionary Society will be held Thursday evening at 7.30 o'clock, at the homo of Mm. Harry Carman, Areba Ave. A large attendance Is desired. Playing a clover defensive game with just enough offense to carry them through victorious, the Hershey Monarchs last Thursday evening on the Lancaster floor carried off the honors in the final game of a series with St. Anthoney'a Club, of that city and witli it the championship between the two teams. The final score was 46-40 Each team with a victory on its own floor entered the contest full of confidence and from gong to gong kept the spectators on edge. Hershey lumped Into the lead at the start and held the whip hand all the way. At half time the score was 28-24 in Hershey's favor. MISSIONARY SOCIETY TO MEET HERSHEY TAKES DECIDING CAME The John Elder Men's Bible Class met Monday evening, April 7th, at the home of its president, A. Bowman Snavely.

Mease and A. Bowman Snavely. Next meeting will be held Monday, May 12th with Daniel L. Ensminger, 26 West Chocolate Avenue. JOHN ELDERS HOLD MEETING The Work the Y. W. Is Doing In Hershey At the annual meetinglof the Y. W. C. A. i that and carry it out to the best of our held Monday evening of last week the report as compiled and read by Miss Anna M. Mowery, who has been President of the Board of Directors for the past three years, and who has been associated with the work of this Association for the past nine years as a member of the Board of Directors, was such that we prevailed upon Miss Mowery to allow us the privi-lege of publishing it, in order to show our readers the splendid work that the Associa-tion is doing in Hershey and vicinity. The report is well worth reading in its entirety by everyone, which is as follows; To everyone present—members of the Hershey Young Women's Christian Asso-ciation, members of the Board of Directors, committee members, friends, to all who have given of their interest and support in any way whatever, and to those to whom the work may be new,—to all, it is a pleas-ure indeed to extend to you a welcome to this annual meeting and to sum up for you, and for those who cannot be with us this evening, a brief report of the year's work of the Hershey Y. W. C. A., and to cast a forward glance over the field of opportunity which lies before us. At first," let me express my sincere thanks and appreciation to the members of the Board of Directors, both retiring and re-maining, and the various committees who have so ably, loyally and enthusiastically given their help and support at all times in carrying forward the work. Much of this service has required sacrifice of time and effort, but it has been given cheerfully and faithfully, making it possible to accomplish results that otherwise would have been impossible. I an especially grateful for this splendid co-operation, for since the past six months we have had no general Secretary and this necessarily has increased the work for all. The work, as in every preceeding year has shown some advancement, improve-ment and interest along the different lines. Possibly not as marked along all lines as we would wish, but nevertheless we feel there has been contributed by your efforts something decidedly constructive and worthwhile when we review the year's work. • We all realize that a Y. w. C. A. has a vital force for good in any community, whether its program is extensive or limited. We all should have an interest in belonging to the Y. W. C. A. in the particular com-munity in which we live—for you are belonging to the largest National organiza-tion of women in the world, and with which work, policies, ideals, aims and standards, activities and programs—for the interest of girls of all ages, and woman-hood throughout the world, you no doubt are all more or less familiar. Each year it is our endeavor to advance and increase our interests in accordance with the demands of our community, even though many times we have obstacles and difficulties to face in accomplishing what we would desire, but we ever keep our standard and ideals before us and strive harder for greater results. The Y. W. C. A. here is well established. It is not in its infancy, for it was in 1910 that this Association was organized. Yet, I believe much lies ahead of the organization here and greater possibilities will present themselves as the years advance and as the community grows, as grow it must and will. For this reason we should, with this vision before us, continue to give our interest and support as duty presents itself from time to time, that our organization here may live and grow. Those who gave their service and time before us, served their turn. We who are now giving of our time and service are serving ours. As time moves on there will be others take up our task, and thus the work can continue to grow from year to year. We dare not consider only the year and day in this work, but we must have a vision for the future years. Sometimes we hear something like this: Why should I be interested or belong to the Y. W. C. A.? It doesn't benefit me. Possibly not. You may have your home, friends, comforts and everything needed to make life happy and comfortable. But remember there are many thousands of girls and young women in the world, espec-ially in the cities, who do need the priv-ileges, comforts and protection of the Y. W. C. A., and by you, who do not need it. contributing to the support of your own local organization, you are making possible this Y. W. C. A. here and other Y! W. C. A'a for the girls and young women who do need it. You may say: Is my support and interest as far reaching as that? The answer is yes, Why? Because a certain percentage of every dollar of our yearly receipts (in-cluding that $1.00 you pay for one year's membership dues) is paid yearly to the National Board for the support of this National work all over the world. So you can readily see what a far reaching influ-ence your support has, when I tell you there are Y. W. C. A.'s in every State in the United States, excepting two states, to say nothing of those in other countries in all parts of the world, and they all help one another. In an industrial town such as tins, one of the supreme needs of the young people who come here to work and contribute to the industrial world, is to secure comfort-able homes with good influences and at moderate rates. The churches cannot entirely cover this field. There must be some co-opcratlvc agency which shall look after the practical everyday wants and needs of young women, and at the same time furnish a moral atmosphere to create and support all worthy aspirations. This is the chosen work of the Y. W. C. A.—to throw around working girls the protecting atmosphere of home influences, to promote healthful exercise, hygenlc living, and right thinking; and to furnish opportunity for Innocent enjoyment and pleasure. One of the factors which has aided greatly In bringing helpful influences to bear upon these young women is our dormitory , accommodating possibly 65 to 75 girls, where neat and tasteful surround-ings constantly exert their effect upon character. Sometimes we have been told we are a boarding home. Can that be such a severe criticism, or such a fault or short-coming? If we see our responsibility in ability, and if that is part of our work now —why deplore the fact that we cannot do more of Association work such as they do in larger fields, such as is done in our larger town and dty Associations, and overlook that which'we can do. Why deplore the lack of possibilities and opportunities for work that we cannot have at this time, and lose sight of those we do have? Other opportunities for work and development will come with the years and growth of the town. But this criticism, if we could consider it as such, or rather questions come from those who are not entirely familiar with the work, for there is much more done by this Association than maintaining a dormi-tory for girls and women. The objects of our organization at all times are to teach young women to face life squarely, to be loyal to principles, and to friends; to be earnest in purpose, rever-ent toward things holy, cheerful and ready to serve others, gracious" irrrnanner. im-partial in judgment, eager in seeking true knowledge, dependable m small things and great, and sincere at all times. And back of all. and directing all, is the animating spirit—that intangible some-thing that binds the Y. W. C. A. into one (Continued on inside page) How Many Heads of Hair Will Be Bobbed To see a whole flock of sheep jump just because one did makes us laugh, but do not animals of a superior plane follow some leader for the same reason? If a queen or a princess changes a ribbon on her gown does not the whole empire become a flutter of ribbons until all have changed their ribbons? We may as well be out of the world as be out of fashion. Consider the girls within the bounds of the African coast that wear large, cumber-some rings in their noses because—they are convenient or helpful???—no!, because it is the style, because Dame Fashion has so decreed. Yes, Dame Fashion dictates in every language, to every race, to both sexes, to the royalty as well as to the peasant. One of her latest edicts concerns the style for hair, namely, the bobbed-hair style. You say you don't like bobbed hair? Well, surely we can't object to your taste for taste is something that differs in in-dividuals. Some folks don't like apple pie. Imagine that? Some prefer brown eyes, some blue, some prefer blondes, some brunettes, some men prefer to wear mus-taches, some prefer gold teeth, some this and that and the other. Some like bobbed hair; some don't. It's all a question of taste Pick up an old photograph album, the one that used to adorn the stand in the parlor (now the living room) and leaf thru its pages. We laugh at the old styles, and are very free in jesting about the sleeves that flared out either at the top or the bottom, at the bustle, at the cravat worn by Uncle Herman, or the knot of hair arranged tightly on Aunt Lena's head. Yes, we laugh at the old fashions, but at the same time we religiously follow the new. And we might add at this time that in twenty-five or thirty years our children will be giving our present style the razz-berries. Many times we have heard the state-ment that a girl's charm is in her hair. This is true in part we must admit, but the quality or quantity of her charm is not measured by the amount of her hair. Her strength or power to charm and attract is not lost necessarily by submitting to the hairdresser's shear. Surely there is a reason for the populari-ty of bobbed hair for it is no novelty any longer. Bobbing for young ladies began about four years ago, it made a noticeable impression about two years later, and is indulged in today by many whp would not be convinced until the style became so popular. Numerous reasons are given for having the hair bobbed. The big majority however, submit to the shears because it is Convenient—No more braiding the hair at night to keep it from getting tangled. No more "frizzing" the hair to make an ear puff or to make some other form for dress-ing the hair. Saves much time in dressing and shampooing. Comfortable—For the girl who goes hiking, camping, plays tennis, volley ball, indulges in swimming, rides horses, and is inclined athletically, it is appreciated. And when hot weather arrives it has sufficient merit. Headaches are caused or aggra-vated sometimes by a heavy head of nalr. Pretty—Many girls have improved their appearances since bobbing their hair. Only in rare cases is a contrary effect noticed. It makes girls look younger. Surely no criticism should be offered against this unless you also condemn the use of cold cream on the face, massaging the face, the use of powder to eliminate the "shine" or rouge or powder to improve one's color. Surely it is no vice to wish to look younger. Healthy—The scalp is accessible more easily and consequently can be treated with less effort. It has proved quite beneficial to those with thin hair or having hair with split ends. Wearing rats, nets, switches,, curls, and other artificial con-trivances are questionable from a hygienic standpoint. A better circulation of air la secured when the tresses are shorn. As warm weather approaches we are afraid to predict how many heads of hair will be bobbed. In a few more months we might expect to see barber shops decorated with cretonne curtains and valances, and a warbling canary in a gilded cage, copies of Good Housekeeping, Woman's Home Companion, Ladies' Home Journal, The Vogue, and ojher magazines with a femi-nine appeal supplanting the Police Gazette, and the Sporting World, in order to help milady wife away the time until the barber politely announces, "You're next lady!" The 6A defeated the 5A grode by a score of 15-10 on Monday evening. On Friday the strong 6B team will play the 7A grade. SCHOOL TEAMS PLAY BASEBALL DeMoss Family to Concert In Hershey On Thursday evening, May 1st, the famous DeMoss family will give a concert in the Hershey Central Theatre, under the auspices of the John Elder Men's Bible Class. Every year for fifty years, prior to 1923, these famous entertainers were known to the public, from the Pacific to the Atlantic, and from the Lakes to the Gulf. Scarcely a city, shore or mountain-pass of this great nation but has resounded to the strains of the voices and instruments of the DeMoss family of Oregon as they sang in praise of God and country. In Canada, Great Britain, Germany, Belgium, France, Switzerland and Mexico they have also entertained. As song writers arid musicians they were at Chicago Exposition as the Official Choir (1893) for six months; Omaha Exposition (1899), six weeks; St. Louis Exposition (1904), three months; Portland Exposition (1905), four months; and at San Francisco ExpositionJ1915), three weeks, employed by the officials, entertaining the vast multitudes daily. They have appeared in the largest churches, auditoriums and music halls in the great citiesa s well as the smaller ones, entertaining the thousands, until their name has become a household word in many lands. The present organization consists of Henry S. DeMoss, manager. George DeMoss, who in 1872 was a child only five yearso f age, has appeared in each of the DeMossC oncerts since then. Mrs.Aurel- ia DeMoss has been in the work more than twenty-five years. Elbert and Homer DeMoss. the two boys, are grandsonso f the old Oregon Missionaries, James M. De- Moss and Elizabeth Bonebrake DeMoss, who started the Concert work more than half a century ago. Verna Mae Hoover is the accompanist and reader. An unusual evening's entertainment, consisting of music, song and story, will be given. T.here will be a happy blending of the classical, original and patriotic music; a grand orchestra of the symphony grade; a banjo dub, introducing marches and plan- tation melodies; a vocal quartet; the sleigh bells, chimes and hand bell ringing. Men s Club Will Hold IMarble Contest AXmarble shooting contest will be held under the auspices of the Hershey Men's Club, beginning on Saturday morning at which time all contestants will be regis-tered: Two prizes will be. given to the winners. As a result for the next few weeks the lot back of the Hershey Central Theatre will be alive with youngsters where one will hear "Aw quitcher hunchin! Knuckle down there, Jim", and other marble slo-gans. Pures, agates, imitations, crystals or glasses, snowfiakes, crockies or putties, witches, chinies, whities and commies all have their value to the boy. The game of marble attracts boys of all classes, rich and poor, big and little. Sometimes we have a notion we'd like to get in a game ourselves, but we've grown up and our knees have become a trifle stiff so we content ourselves with standing on the side lines. One good thing about this early-spring game is that marbles are never batted thru windows or tangled in trees and telephone wires as sometimes happens to baseball, and kites, but my what the game does to wearing holes in stockings is aplenty I State Officers To Address Assocation The regular monthly business meeting of the Lebanon Valley Fish & Game Pro-tective Association will be held on Friday evening,' April 11th, at 8 o'clock, in the Market House building. After the usual business matters have been disposed of, two speakers, officers of the State Organi-zation will address the Association on interesting subjects. It is requested that all members make a special effort to attend this meeting. The shooting match which was held last Saturday at the Derry Church hotel, was a success, although a number of local Sinners were conspTciuousb y their absence, eorge Lafferty, our local officer , proved his good markmenship by winning the first prize, which was a 180-lb. porker. Bert Fasnacht and "Huntz" Moyer tied i for secondp lace, the prize, a 175 hog finally' going to Fasnacht on the shoot off. Geo. Kngorc carried off a prize In the shape of a side of bacon as did Carl Schmidt. The last of the series of card parties held under the auspices of the Hershey Post, No, 386, American Legion, was held on Monday evening in the Red Cross rooms, with about forty in attendance. While in numbers it was not up to the usual standard, what it lacked in that line was made up in enthusiasm and good feeling in general. Seven beautiful prizes were awarded, as follows: Mrs. M. F. Harris (3570), hand embroidered bed 'spread; Paul G. Shultz, (3310), picture: Grover Shcckart, (3100), whisp broom; Mrs. Re-pert, (2980), buffet set; Alma Hou&er" (2950), bon bon dish; Mrs. Willis Dressier (2770), box chocolate candy; Miss Nellie Van Metre, (2620), bottle of toilet water ; Mrs, Edwin Schwenk, (30) consolation prize, box of lolly pops.

See Hershey 11 Years Ago How many of us were in Hershey 11 years ago when we celebrated our tenth anniversary? To give us an opportunity of taking a peep at Hershey and of Hersheyites 11 years ago the pictures that were taken at that time will be shown at the Hershey Central Theatre on Thursday evening, April 17th. You will see all of the office celebntes parading down Chocolate Avenue all dolled up in high silk hats, frock coats, etc., looking the very acme of perfection—they certainly were a manly bunch. You will want to see them—you will get many a laugh while looking at these 1913 Rudolph Valentines. And then you will see the 1913 flappers all dolled up in the brezziest, niftiest and latest styles as then decreed by Dame Fashion, gracefully seated on artistic floats drawn by magnificent mules. My, but they created a furore as they passed by— and many a poor fellow lost his heart on that day. To again gaze upon this picture of loveliness will be a pleasure none of us will want to deny ourselves. We had a band 11 years ago—and it was a good one, and you will wonder why it was knocked higher then a cocked hat when you see these musicians pass by. The pictures will not consist only of the parade, but will show scenes about the town. These pictures will be shown in conjunction with "The Steadfast Heart" and we wonder how everybody will be able to see the pictures, so great will be the demand to see this double attraction Don't forget the date. There will be no raise in prices. RED CROSCSL AOPTPHEIANLGS FOR OLD The Hershey Red Cross takes this means of appealing to the people of Hershey and vicinity to send in bundles of old clean clothing. This clothing is gone over and sent to National headquarters where it is forwarded to those who are greatly in need of clothing, as in the Near East, Germany and elsewhere. Surely, everyone of us can And something around the house that can be utilized for this purpose. All it needs, perhaps, la a little thought upon our part and a little exertion, but our efforts will be repaid, perhaps a thousand-fold, and no doubt St. Peter will give us a white mark which will help to counterbalance our many black ones. As it is let all of us send at least one bundle to the Red Cross rooms in the next few days. , , NURSING REPORT FOR MARCH 1924 Number of nursing visits 37 Number Instructive and demonstrative visits 154 Number investigation visits 154 Number social service visits 13 Number visits to schoola 24 Total number of visits 382 School Nursing Report Number school rooms visited 85 Number of pupils in class room Insp... 1713 Number individual pupils inspected... 227 Number pupils who have symptoms of communlcipnl diseases 15 Number parents consultations at school 26 Number sanitary inspection visits.... 12 Number first aid treatments 10 Number handkerchief drills 15 Notes to parents 16 Respectfully submitted, ElltabethHkh, Com, Nurse.

The officers-elect were installed by Prof. Ober, president of the Lancaster County Sunday School Association, in absence of Mr. J. W. Barker. The only schools in the district not represented at either session were the Holy Trinity Lutheran, of Hershey, and Stoverdale United Brethren. Baseball Meeting On Frida y Evening JfOn Friday evening a baseball meeting will be held at the Hershey Men's Club, and Secretary John F. Snavely urges all the baseball players and all baseball enthus-iasts living in Hershey and immediate vicinity to attend in order to determine just what can be done to have Hershey represented on the baseball map. Baseball is a community proposition. Every little village and hamlet in the Union almost, supports a representative nine, of which the community is justly proud. We can have an excellent team here J the proper community spirit is evi-denced, and the fans want a team. Everybody is riven a cordial invitation to be present on Friday evening. It does not matter if you aren't a ball player, come around and show your enthusiasm. Join the ranks of the fans and help put this job over. There is one thing assured, however, there is no intention of putting on an ex-pensive team as last year—the fans won't support it for one thing, and for another we didn 't get the worth of our money. Don't forget the meeting, and don't forget to be there. The regular monthly meeting of the Woman's Missionary Society will be held Thursday evening at 7.30 o'clock, at the homo of Mm. Harry Carman, Areba Ave. A large attendance Is desired. Playing a clover defensive game with just enough offense to carry them through victorious, the Hershey Monarchs last Thursday evening on the Lancaster floor carried off the honors in the final game of a series with St. Anthoney'a Club, of that city and witli it the championship between the two teams. The final score was 46-40 Each team with a victory on its own floor entered the contest full of confidence and from gong to gong kept the spectators on edge. Hershey lumped Into the lead at the start and held the whip hand all the way. At half time the score was 28-24 in Hershey's favor. MISSIONARY SOCIETY TO MEET HERSHEY TAKES DECIDING CAME The John Elder Men's Bible Class met Monday evening, April 7th, at the home of its president, A. Bowman Snavely.

Mease and A. Bowman Snavely. Next meeting will be held Monday, May 12th with Daniel L. Ensminger, 26 West Chocolate Avenue. JOHN ELDERS HOLD MEETING The Work the Y. W. Is Doing In Hershey At the annual meetinglof the Y. W. C. A. i that and carry it out to the best of our held Monday evening of last week the report as compiled and read by Miss Anna M. Mowery, who has been President of the Board of Directors for the past three years, and who has been associated with the work of this Association for the past nine years as a member of the Board of Directors, was such that we prevailed upon Miss Mowery to allow us the privi-lege of publishing it, in order to show our readers the splendid work that the Associa-tion is doing in Hershey and vicinity. The report is well worth reading in its entirety by everyone, which is as follows; To everyone present—members of the Hershey Young Women's Christian Asso-ciation, members of the Board of Directors, committee members, friends, to all who have given of their interest and support in any way whatever, and to those to whom the work may be new,—to all, it is a pleas-ure indeed to extend to you a welcome to this annual meeting and to sum up for you, and for those who cannot be with us this evening, a brief report of the year's work of the Hershey Y. W. C. A., and to cast a forward glance over the field of opportunity which lies before us. At first," let me express my sincere thanks and appreciation to the members of the Board of Directors, both retiring and re-maining, and the various committees who have so ably, loyally and enthusiastically given their help and support at all times in carrying forward the work. Much of this service has required sacrifice of time and effort, but it has been given cheerfully and faithfully, making it possible to accomplish results that otherwise would have been impossible. I an especially grateful for this splendid co-operation, for since the past six months we have had no general Secretary and this necessarily has increased the work for all. The work, as in every preceeding year has shown some advancement, improve-ment and interest along the different lines. Possibly not as marked along all lines as we would wish, but nevertheless we feel there has been contributed by your efforts something decidedly constructive and worthwhile when we review the year's work. • We all realize that a Y. w. C. A. has a vital force for good in any community, whether its program is extensive or limited. We all should have an interest in belonging to the Y. W. C. A. in the particular com-munity in which we live—for you are belonging to the largest National organiza-tion of women in the world, and with which work, policies, ideals, aims and standards, activities and programs—for the interest of girls of all ages, and woman-hood throughout the world, you no doubt are all more or less familiar. Each year it is our endeavor to advance and increase our interests in accordance with the demands of our community, even though many times we have obstacles and difficulties to face in accomplishing what we would desire, but we ever keep our standard and ideals before us and strive harder for greater results. The Y. W. C. A. here is well established. It is not in its infancy, for it was in 1910 that this Association was organized. Yet, I believe much lies ahead of the organization here and greater possibilities will present themselves as the years advance and as the community grows, as grow it must and will. For this reason we should, with this vision before us, continue to give our interest and support as duty presents itself from time to time, that our organization here may live and grow. Those who gave their service and time before us, served their turn. We who are now giving of our time and service are serving ours. As time moves on there will be others take up our task, and thus the work can continue to grow from year to year. We dare not consider only the year and day in this work, but we must have a vision for the future years. Sometimes we hear something like this: Why should I be interested or belong to the Y. W. C. A.? It doesn't benefit me. Possibly not. You may have your home, friends, comforts and everything needed to make life happy and comfortable. But remember there are many thousands of girls and young women in the world, espec-ially in the cities, who do need the priv-ileges, comforts and protection of the Y. W. C. A., and by you, who do not need it. contributing to the support of your own local organization, you are making possible this Y. W. C. A. here and other Y! W. C. A'a for the girls and young women who do need it. You may say: Is my support and interest as far reaching as that? The answer is yes, Why? Because a certain percentage of every dollar of our yearly receipts (in-cluding that $1.00 you pay for one year's membership dues) is paid yearly to the National Board for the support of this National work all over the world. So you can readily see what a far reaching influ-ence your support has, when I tell you there are Y. W. C. A.'s in every State in the United States, excepting two states, to say nothing of those in other countries in all parts of the world, and they all help one another. In an industrial town such as tins, one of the supreme needs of the young people who come here to work and contribute to the industrial world, is to secure comfort-able homes with good influences and at moderate rates. The churches cannot entirely cover this field. There must be some co-opcratlvc agency which shall look after the practical everyday wants and needs of young women, and at the same time furnish a moral atmosphere to create and support all worthy aspirations. This is the chosen work of the Y. W. C. A.—to throw around working girls the protecting atmosphere of home influences, to promote healthful exercise, hygenlc living, and right thinking; and to furnish opportunity for Innocent enjoyment and pleasure. One of the factors which has aided greatly In bringing helpful influences to bear upon these young women is our dormitory , accommodating possibly 65 to 75 girls, where neat and tasteful surround-ings constantly exert their effect upon character. Sometimes we have been told we are a boarding home. Can that be such a severe criticism, or such a fault or short-coming? If we see our responsibility in ability, and if that is part of our work now —why deplore the fact that we cannot do more of Association work such as they do in larger fields, such as is done in our larger town and dty Associations, and overlook that which'we can do. Why deplore the lack of possibilities and opportunities for work that we cannot have at this time, and lose sight of those we do have? Other opportunities for work and development will come with the years and growth of the town. But this criticism, if we could consider it as such, or rather questions come from those who are not entirely familiar with the work, for there is much more done by this Association than maintaining a dormi-tory for girls and women. The objects of our organization at all times are to teach young women to face life squarely, to be loyal to principles, and to friends; to be earnest in purpose, rever-ent toward things holy, cheerful and ready to serve others, gracious" irrrnanner. im-partial in judgment, eager in seeking true knowledge, dependable m small things and great, and sincere at all times. And back of all. and directing all, is the animating spirit—that intangible some-thing that binds the Y. W. C. A. into one (Continued on inside page) How Many Heads of Hair Will Be Bobbed To see a whole flock of sheep jump just because one did makes us laugh, but do not animals of a superior plane follow some leader for the same reason? If a queen or a princess changes a ribbon on her gown does not the whole empire become a flutter of ribbons until all have changed their ribbons? We may as well be out of the world as be out of fashion. Consider the girls within the bounds of the African coast that wear large, cumber-some rings in their noses because—they are convenient or helpful???—no!, because it is the style, because Dame Fashion has so decreed. Yes, Dame Fashion dictates in every language, to every race, to both sexes, to the royalty as well as to the peasant. One of her latest edicts concerns the style for hair, namely, the bobbed-hair style. You say you don't like bobbed hair? Well, surely we can't object to your taste for taste is something that differs in in-dividuals. Some folks don't like apple pie. Imagine that? Some prefer brown eyes, some blue, some prefer blondes, some brunettes, some men prefer to wear mus-taches, some prefer gold teeth, some this and that and the other. Some like bobbed hair; some don't. It's all a question of taste Pick up an old photograph album, the one that used to adorn the stand in the parlor (now the living room) and leaf thru its pages. We laugh at the old styles, and are very free in jesting about the sleeves that flared out either at the top or the bottom, at the bustle, at the cravat worn by Uncle Herman, or the knot of hair arranged tightly on Aunt Lena's head. Yes, we laugh at the old fashions, but at the same time we religiously follow the new. And we might add at this time that in twenty-five or thirty years our children will be giving our present style the razz-berries. Many times we have heard the state-ment that a girl's charm is in her hair. This is true in part we must admit, but the quality or quantity of her charm is not measured by the amount of her hair. Her strength or power to charm and attract is not lost necessarily by submitting to the hairdresser's shear. Surely there is a reason for the populari-ty of bobbed hair for it is no novelty any longer. Bobbing for young ladies began about four years ago, it made a noticeable impression about two years later, and is indulged in today by many whp would not be convinced until the style became so popular. Numerous reasons are given for having the hair bobbed. The big majority however, submit to the shears because it is Convenient—No more braiding the hair at night to keep it from getting tangled. No more "frizzing" the hair to make an ear puff or to make some other form for dress-ing the hair. Saves much time in dressing and shampooing. Comfortable—For the girl who goes hiking, camping, plays tennis, volley ball, indulges in swimming, rides horses, and is inclined athletically, it is appreciated. And when hot weather arrives it has sufficient merit. Headaches are caused or aggra-vated sometimes by a heavy head of nalr. Pretty—Many girls have improved their appearances since bobbing their hair. Only in rare cases is a contrary effect noticed. It makes girls look younger. Surely no criticism should be offered against this unless you also condemn the use of cold cream on the face, massaging the face, the use of powder to eliminate the "shine" or rouge or powder to improve one's color. Surely it is no vice to wish to look younger. Healthy—The scalp is accessible more easily and consequently can be treated with less effort. It has proved quite beneficial to those with thin hair or having hair with split ends. Wearing rats, nets, switches,, curls, and other artificial con-trivances are questionable from a hygienic standpoint. A better circulation of air la secured when the tresses are shorn. As warm weather approaches we are afraid to predict how many heads of hair will be bobbed. In a few more months we might expect to see barber shops decorated with cretonne curtains and valances, and a warbling canary in a gilded cage, copies of Good Housekeeping, Woman's Home Companion, Ladies' Home Journal, The Vogue, and ojher magazines with a femi-nine appeal supplanting the Police Gazette, and the Sporting World, in order to help milady wife away the time until the barber politely announces, "You're next lady!" The 6A defeated the 5A grode by a score of 15-10 on Monday evening. On Friday the strong 6B team will play the 7A grade. SCHOOL TEAMS PLAY BASEBALL DeMoss Family to Concert In Hershey On Thursday evening, May 1st, the famous DeMoss family will give a concert in the Hershey Central Theatre, under the auspices of the John Elder Men's Bible Class. Every year for fifty years, prior to 1923, these famous entertainers were known to the public, from the Pacific to the Atlantic, and from the Lakes to the Gulf. Scarcely a city, shore or mountain-pass of this great nation but has resounded to the strains of the voices and instruments of the DeMoss family of Oregon as they sang in praise of God and country. In Canada, Great Britain, Germany, Belgium, France, Switzerland and Mexico they have also entertained. As song writers arid musicians they were at Chicago Exposition as the Official Choir (1893) for six months; Omaha Exposition (1899), six weeks; St. Louis Exposition (1904), three months; Portland Exposition (1905), four months; and at San Francisco ExpositionJ1915), three weeks, employed by the officials, entertaining the vast multitudes daily. They have appeared in the largest churches, auditoriums and music halls in the great citiesa s well as the smaller ones, entertaining the thousands, until their name has become a household word in many lands. The present organization consists of Henry S. DeMoss, manager. George DeMoss, who in 1872 was a child only five yearso f age, has appeared in each of the DeMossC oncerts since then. Mrs.Aurel- ia DeMoss has been in the work more than twenty-five years. Elbert and Homer DeMoss. the two boys, are grandsonso f the old Oregon Missionaries, James M. De- Moss and Elizabeth Bonebrake DeMoss, who started the Concert work more than half a century ago. Verna Mae Hoover is the accompanist and reader. An unusual evening's entertainment, consisting of music, song and story, will be given. T.here will be a happy blending of the classical, original and patriotic music; a grand orchestra of the symphony grade; a banjo dub, introducing marches and plan- tation melodies; a vocal quartet; the sleigh bells, chimes and hand bell ringing. Men s Club Will Hold IMarble Contest AXmarble shooting contest will be held under the auspices of the Hershey Men's Club, beginning on Saturday morning at which time all contestants will be regis-tered: Two prizes will be. given to the winners. As a result for the next few weeks the lot back of the Hershey Central Theatre will be alive with youngsters where one will hear "Aw quitcher hunchin! Knuckle down there, Jim", and other marble slo-gans. Pures, agates, imitations, crystals or glasses, snowfiakes, crockies or putties, witches, chinies, whities and commies all have their value to the boy. The game of marble attracts boys of all classes, rich and poor, big and little. Sometimes we have a notion we'd like to get in a game ourselves, but we've grown up and our knees have become a trifle stiff so we content ourselves with standing on the side lines. One good thing about this early-spring game is that marbles are never batted thru windows or tangled in trees and telephone wires as sometimes happens to baseball, and kites, but my what the game does to wearing holes in stockings is aplenty I State Officers To Address Assocation The regular monthly business meeting of the Lebanon Valley Fish & Game Pro-tective Association will be held on Friday evening,' April 11th, at 8 o'clock, in the Market House building. After the usual business matters have been disposed of, two speakers, officers of the State Organi-zation will address the Association on interesting subjects. It is requested that all members make a special effort to attend this meeting. The shooting match which was held last Saturday at the Derry Church hotel, was a success, although a number of local Sinners were conspTciuousb y their absence, eorge Lafferty, our local officer , proved his good markmenship by winning the first prize, which was a 180-lb. porker. Bert Fasnacht and "Huntz" Moyer tied i for secondp lace, the prize, a 175 hog finally' going to Fasnacht on the shoot off. Geo. Kngorc carried off a prize In the shape of a side of bacon as did Carl Schmidt. The last of the series of card parties held under the auspices of the Hershey Post, No, 386, American Legion, was held on Monday evening in the Red Cross rooms, with about forty in attendance. While in numbers it was not up to the usual standard, what it lacked in that line was made up in enthusiasm and good feeling in general. Seven beautiful prizes were awarded, as follows: Mrs. M. F. Harris (3570), hand embroidered bed 'spread; Paul G. Shultz, (3310), picture: Grover Shcckart, (3100), whisp broom; Mrs. Re-pert, (2980), buffet set; Alma Hou&er" (2950), bon bon dish; Mrs. Willis Dressier (2770), box chocolate candy; Miss Nellie Van Metre, (2620), bottle of toilet water ; Mrs, Edwin Schwenk, (30) consolation prize, box of lolly pops.
