              Paul Whiteman and His
Orchestra Attracti on Aug. 17th
Paul Whiteman , pioneer in the field of
American music, and the most famous
conductor in the world to-day of such
music, will appear in Hershey in person on
Sunday afternoon , August 17th, at the
Park Convention Hall, at 2.30 o'clock, with
his celebrated orchestra of twenty-five
artists , giving his sensational concert
program , entitled "An Experiment in
American Music", which was presented to
three sold-out houses in New York this
-season.
I Mr. Whiteman more than anyone else
has been the foremost factor in the develop-ment
of what is called "Jazz " and particu-larly
in transferrin g it from the ball-room
to the concert platform. Speaking of the
object of his experiment , Mr. Whiteman
has this to say:
'The experiment is to be purely educa-tional.
I intend to point out, with the
assistance of my orchestra, the tremendous
strides which have been made in popular
music since the day of discordant Jazz ,
which sprang into existence about ten
years ago from nowhere in particular , to
the really melodious music of to-day
which—for no good rea son—is still called
"Jaz z." Most-people who ridicule . the
present so-called Ja zz and who refuse to
condone of listen to it seriously, are
quarreling with the name Jazz and not
with what it represents. Neither our
protest nor the combined protests of all
musicians will change the name—Jazz it is
and Jazz it will remain.
"The greatest single factor in the im-provement
of American music has been the
art of scoring. Ours was the first organi-zation
to especially score each selection and
to play it according to the score. Since
then every modem band has its own ar-ranger
or staff of arrangers. The result is
that there are thousands of young people
scoring and composing who otherwise
would perhaps never have dreamed of
writing music. These same people are
creatin g much of the popular music of to-day.
They are not students of any one
school. They are writing in the spirit of
the times. They are striving only for
melodies, harmony and ryhthm which they
understand and which appeal to the masses
"The real American spirit can only be
expressed by Americans , or by those from
other shores who have learned that in
music the American demands somethin g
compelling—something which typifies the
throbbing emotional resources of this
restless age."
In the programs which are pesented at
these concerts , Mr. Whiteman deals with
the various types of popular music. They
are "Jaz z" in its true form; standard
selections ; compositions by Victor Herbert;
number from popular musical produc-tions,
etc., etc.
In order to demonstrate the variet y of
tone color and the sonority it is possible to
obtain with a small number of men, Mr.
Whiteman has instrumented some of the
lighter classics for his orchestra.
Reserved seat tickets for this concert
are on sale at the Hershey Trust Co. build-ing.
The tickets are selling rapidly, and
we would advise all persons to make their
purchase now. Popular prices prevail ,
as follows; $1.10, $1.65 and $2.20. in-cludin
g war tax.

taught two ladies who had never before
swam a stroke to swim one-third across the
pool, and as the lessons continued to pro-gress,
so do the ability of all the members
of the class.
There were thirty-five kiddles in the
class on Monda y evening, and it was a
pleasure , and mighty Instructive , to see
iiow Mr. Greiser Instills confidence and
reliance in his pupils. There is no doubt
about It but that at the end of the week,
there will be an additional number of
"water dogs" in this vicinity.

FUNERAL OF MRS. DAVID BAKER
Hershey Wins 16
In A Row
The Chocolatiers boosted their string of
victories to sixteen straight on the Hershey
baseball field on Saturday afternoon by
giving a basketful of gooseeggs to the West
Fairv iew baseball team, runnersup in the
West Shore League, by the score of 7 to 0.
Hepting pitched a great game of ball, the
West Fairview sluggers connecting with
but five hits, and these happened at times
when they didn 't mean anything. He was
given gilt-edge support by his teammates.
Four double plays by Hershey were the
outstanding features of the game.
This game wasn't such a one-sided one as
the score might indicate—it was one of the
best games played on the local diamond
for several seasons. . It is a pity that there
wasn't more local fans on hand to see it.
The fans stand on the corners demanding
stronger teams, but fail to show up when
the games are being played. We note a
goodly number of loyal Palmyrians on
hand at each game, rooting for Hershey,
setting a good example for some of our
local fans.

Hershey Plays ML Joy
Team Saturda y
Hershe y will play Highspire on Thurs-day
evening, at 6.00 o'clock, on the Park
diamond , at which time all Highspire will
be on hand , this being their picnic day. A
good game can be looked for , as Highspir e
is a regular team , strong, and will make
Hershey keep on its toes to make it a seven-teen
straight victory.
On Saturda y, afternoon , at 3 o'clock,
Mt. Joy will be the attraction on the local
field. The Mt. Joy team has the reputa-tion
of being one of the strongest teams in
Lancaster County. To find out how they
will stack up against the Chocolatiers
remains to be seen, and Manager Traynor
would be mighty well pleased if the fans
of Hershe y and vicinity tourned out in
large numbers on Saturday afternoon.
Give the team a boost by your attendance.
On Tuesda y evening of last week Her-shey
defeated Palmyra four str aight vic-tories
, concluding the series.
On Thursday, amid strife and loud words
of several attending rooters , Hershey
trimmed Elizabethtown. This team had
also had 14 strai ght victories, as had Her-shey,
consequentl y when the visitors saw
that their beloved- baseball warriors were
sliding down the tobag gon for a defeat ,
they became somewhat nubber gusted, and
a few of the more pronounced ones, said
things that would not sound well in print.
As it was, Hershey won the game, clean as
a whistle.

Swimming Exhibitions Continue
To Draw Big Crowds at Park
Thousands of spectators witnessed on
Saturday and Sunday the swimming ex-hibitions
given . in the Hershey Park
Swimming Pool by the seventeen youthful
swimmers, boys and girls, in charge of
Director Henr y J . Greiser , who are mem-bers
of the Red, White and Blue Swimming
Troupe from the Panama Canal Zone, and
who are the guests of Hershey Park for the
remainder of the week, giving free exhibi-tions
every afternoon and evening.
The children live in the Panama Canal
Zone, where their parents are connected
with the arm y, navy or civilian organiza-tion.
Each is an expert swimmer and
diver. The party is in charge of Mr.
Greiser, who is the director of swimming at
the Panama Canal. The children are on a
tour to this countr y as a reward for their
part in entertaining such prominent
visitors as the late President Harding, Gen.
Pershin g, Secretary of War Weeks and
other dignitaries on their visits to the
Canal Zone.
Helen Van Clief, who is but six years old,
is the baby of the troupe. Despite her
tender years, she has acquired the art of
graceful swimming. Another of the troupe
is Josephine McKim, 14 years , who is the
champion swimmer of her age of the Pana-ma
Canal Zone and Central America in the
backstroke and crawl. She finished fourth
in the final tryouts for the 1924 Olympic
team. She also demonstrates her wonder-ful
endurance by swimming under the
water with hands and feet shackled, pro-gressing
with as much speed as the average
swimmer.
Angela Klemmer, 14 years, is the star
diver of the troupe , executing perfect
swan, back and somersault dives. She also
accomplishes the unusual feat of diving
from a twenty-foot springboard while
bound with fifty feet of rope, freeing her-self
under water in less than twenty
seconds.
The tandem swimming by Josephine
and Musa McKim, Angela Klemmer,
Jeanne Burdge and Grace Lawyer is ex-ecuted
with a swan-like grace that brings
forth the greatest admiration , as does the
submarine swimming by William Burdge.
The program for the remainder of the
week, is as follows:
Physical and health exercise by the
entire class; fancy diving and swimming by
Helen Van Clief; crawl stroke by Jeanne
Burdge , William Burdge , John McEvoy,

The troupe came to Hershey from Bos-ton
where they gave exhibitions in the
Charles River. While there they com-peted
in two meets with swimmers of
Boston and vicinity, winning every event,
and were presented with a large silver cup
as a trophy by the City of Boston to com-memorate
their victory.
While in Hershey Director Greiser issues
a challenge to meet the swimmers of Cen-tral
Pennsylvania, in any and all style of
swimming. The younger children will
compete with children up to 15 years of
age. The Seniors , William Allen, J ose-phine
McKim, Angela Klemmer and Musa
Klemmer , will meet swimmers of any age
of their own sex. Mr. Greiser is particu-larly
anxious to have his swimmers com-pete
with other swimmers, and he will be
disappointed if none are forthcoming. In
Jeanne Burdge , the 9-year-old girl , he will
pit against any girl or woman, regardless of
age, in breast-stroke swimming.
The swimmers will appear at Madison
Square Garden , New York City, next
week.
The members of the party are as follows:
Helen Van Clief, Clarence Peterson , John
McEvoy, Jeanne Burdge, Emma Van
Chef , LeRoy Klemmer, Grace Lawyer ,
William Burdge , Sidney Peterson , August
Schwinderman , Angela Klemmer , Jo se-phine
McKim, Frank Booz, Tom Booz,

E. Burdge , Mrs. Lawyer , Mrs. Van Cleif,
parents of some of the children ; Miss Dal-ton,
a nurse , and Mrs. Van Hanlin, secre-tary.
Thank-U ", a Broadway Attraction ,
at Hershe y Park Theatre This Week
In "Thank-U" , the great Broadway
success which the Ella Kramer Players
will present next week at the Park Theatre ,
the authors , Winchell Smith and Thomas
Gushing have written of Americans ,
average Americans, normal Americans.
The wit and humor of this success, its
observations of life and philosophy, and its
story came right out of the soil of this coun-try
where your potatoes and wheat for
your bread come from.
'That' s the formula followed in all the
comedies which I have produced and will
produce, " declares John L. Golden, pro-ducer
of "Thank-U " and such other not-able
hits as "Lightnin '' "The First Year."
"Seventh Heaven ," "Turn to the Right ",
•Three Wise Fools." etc.
Mr. Golden became the most famous
producer in the country by steadfastly
adhering to his principle of "never an
unclean line."
"My comedies," he says, "are clean like
the people and earth they come from . It 's
a rotten civilization that has to be filthy to
be amused. Winchell Smith and I go on
record that the American people want
cleanliness. And here 's the proof from
the docket of our comedies:
''Lightnin ', three years and one day in
New York , the world s record of patronage ,
and it' s as clean as a baby 's soul ; 'Turn to
the Right ', sold to the movies for a record
sum after it toured this country for seven
seasons to marvelous business; 'The Fir st
Year ', which played over two years in
New York and Tl weeks on the road and
would have been going yet only the aut hor-star
, Fran Craven , wished to retire ; and
the others , 'Three Wise Fools.' 'Thank-U'
and 'Seventh Heaven ' are all of the same
birthmark and clean escutcheon .
"And remember , we're not asking people
to go to Sunday school. N,ot much , for
Thank-U' and these other comedies are
famous for , fun and laughter and if your
face gets red at 'Thank-U' it 's from laugh-ter
, and not from blushing.
"Thank -U" has a great foundation .
The story is human , vital and true. It
grips all the way. You'll remember it for
many months alterward.

Inspectin g Jap
Oats In County
County Agent R. R. Burtner devoted
the first two days of this week inspecting
Japanese select oats on thirteen farms
throughout the county. Approxim ately
250 bushels of the oats were importe d last
year , tests showing that eight bushela more
oats per acre were produced than by any
other variety.
The value in the Japanese oats Is that it
Is early maturing variety, the only type to
be considered in Dauphin County becaus e
late oats might mature in dry spells in
avera ge years. The oats were inspected
for weeds and smut and compar ative
yields were observed in comparison with
other varieties.
The early maturin g variety is being
grown on the following farms unde r the
auspices of the Dauphin County Agricul-tural
Extension Association:
Christ Cassel, Ira Shenk , A. B. Shenk
and C. E. Sheetz, all of Hershe y, R. D.;
