              Queen of Valley's Engineer
Hurt While Passing Hersky
Hiram Swavely Struck on the Should-er
by an Extended Mail Bag Crane;
Train Stopped and Injured
Man Taken to Harris-burg.
His Condition
Monday morning the Queen of the
Valley, the crack train of .the Phila-delphia
and Reading Eailroad, was
rushing around the , curve at Hershey
at a speed of over fifty miles an hour.
Engineer Hiram Swavely was at the
throttle. .In the engine were Peter
Schuyler, road foreman of engines,
who is making the run from Harris-burg
to Lebanon this month to watch
the work of the big passenger engine,
and his son, Claude Schuyler, fireman
of; the engine.
Engineer. Swavely-leaned out to get
a better view of the track and in less
time that it takes to tell it his should-er
had been hit by the point of an
extended mail bag ' crane. The blow
was terrific but the engineer kept his
wits and applied the brakes. In-stantly
Mr. Schuyler and 'his' son
sprang to the assistance of the wounds
ed man. The train came to a stop at
Derry Church crossing and was back-ed
to Hershey where the 8.22 local for
Harrisburg was about due. Mr.
Swavely was placed on the local and
as soon as it reached Harrisburg was
hurried to the Harrisburg General
Hospital. He' suffered intense pain,
but the reports that his arm had been
torn from the socket—reports that
got into some of the papers—were
untrue. . While serious the injuries do
not appear to be dangerous.
Mr. Schuyler ran the train to Read-ing
where . it was placed under an
extra engineman .who took it to Mien-town.
The delay was less than a half
hour. A new State*law provides that
every new engine must have the en-gineer's
box within plain view of the
fireman and the new engine that was
drawing the Queen of the Valley is
so- constructed.
Homes in the Model Town
Increasing Appreciation of Hershey's
Future as Residential Centre
Hershey's fame as a residential
centre is spreading every day and
during September more than the usu-al
number of visitors are here on in-spection
tours. During the week men
of prominence in real estate opera-tions
have called upon ' General
Manager J. i B. Leithiser and ' have
expressed their admiration of the uni-que
attractions of the town.
The modern tendency ' is taking
people, out of the crowded cities.
Automobiles and good roads ' have
wrought a revolution. ¦ Persons of
means are seeking air, pure water,
iopen country and sane livinfj. In
Hershey they find a town on an ele-vated
plateau in a wonderfully heal-thy
valley and with noble hills and
mountains within view. It is a safe
place, The man who travels much
would know that his family would be
absolutely secure. His children
would have free of all expense the
best educational advantages in a
school building that not only protects
but promotes health. At hand are
good churches, all the recreations , de-lightful
society and practically every-thing
a city could offer. It is a full
realisation of the old idea of a model
town in the country, and its accessi-bility
is exceptional.
It follows that there will be a de-mand
for real estate hero and that
tho buildin g that has been done and
that is now going on is only promise
of what is to follow. During tho
past throe yoar-s almost two hundred
houses have boon erected. Tho pruri-ent
demand is for more bonnes than
can bo supplied. But tho now do-.
volopniont and that which is welcom-ed
by tho Improvement Company.is
tho coming of people who will want
to build permanent homos of Huperl or
value and who will help greatly t.o
make Hershey as notable as n resi-dential
centre as it is in other re-spects,

The work° for which the Ladies'
Guild of - the Derry Presbyterian
Church, has been planning and ac-cumulating
funds for the last year
and a half is completed. The Derry
Church has been renovated and re-carpeted.
The newly frescoed walls
present a beautiful appearance. The
light tan body of wall surface reflects
through the room a mellow, cheerful
light that contributes to the general
atmosphere of joyous worship char-acteristic
of the modern church. A
modest brown border at the ceiling
and along the wainscoting adds a
touch of color to the decorative
scheme. The light brown carpet, of
a small varigated pattern, forms an
appropriate' foundation to the general
decoration of the interior and is a
beautiful specimen of the weaver's
art. The total effect of the improve-ments
is in harmony with the simple
lines of this attractive church and
adds much to the charms of the
building. ' It recalls the word of
Isaiah in reference to the temple in
Jerusalem, "I will' beautify my beauti-ful
house."
When the pastor , expressed the
congregation's grateful appreciation
of the work done by the Ladies'
Guild, he might well have spoken for
a larger constituency, for,'.the care be-stowed
upon this church is appreciat-ed
by all_ thoughtful citizens of the
community, because it is the one link
between the Colonial days and • the
present in this locality. The Ladies'
Guild, the membership of which is
not confined to the membership of the
Presbyterian Church, certainly merits
much praise ' for the successful and
useful achievement.
Harvest Home Service
A Harvest Home Service , will be
held in the Derry Presbyterian Church
next Sunday morning. The church
will be decorated with fruits of the
field and garden and orchard. There
will be special music appropriate to
this festival and a sermon on "The
Grace of Gratitude in "Harvest Time."
This service comes with especial fit-ness
in this particular year when the
people-of the land have been favored
with such abundant harvests and, at
the same time, hear the call of strick-en
peoples across the sea with whom
they" have every inducement to share
these blessings. "We invite you to
this service in the spirit of true grati-tude,
the gratitude which finds its ex-pression
more in deeds than in words,
rather in sharing than in giving,"
says Rev. Mr. Rentz, the pastor.
The offering at the service will be
% sent to the American Red Cross So- ciety for its work in the European
war. Come prepared to give liber-ally
to this worthy cause.
Putting Wires Under ground
Electrician Hull and His Men Busy
Installing a New Conduit
Progress is always tho order in
Hershey and so tho work of burying
some of the multitudinous wires that
cross tho town has been begun. At
present R. F. Hull , the electrician , and
his force are putting in a conduit
from Chocolate Avenue along Park
Avenue over tho bridge that spans
tho trucks of tho Philadelphia and
Reading Railroad. It has a diameter
of two inches and will carry 80 wires.
Tho present purpose is to use it for
the telephone wires and when they
are placed underground tho big polos
along Park Avenue will bo removed
and handsome iron standards for tho
trolley wires will bo erected.
Exhibit Will Continue at Public'
Schools One Week From Next
Monday, and Will be the First
Big Event of the Autumn.
.; Mr. Murrie's Gift
Hershey's autumn season will open
next week. The occasion will be the
finest art exhibit ever held in this
section.. It will be in the M. S. Her-shey
¦ Consolidated Schools and will
serve a triple purpose. First of all it
is a superb and intensely interesting
collection of the best art of all coun-tries
and all ages. The pictures are
made direct from the originals whose
value is millions of dollars. The pro-cesses
are carbon and photogravure
which retain the fine lines and atmos-phere..
They are distinctly not cheap
copies but products of the highest
grade' selected, produced and finally
passed upon by the best experts in the
world of art. In other places admis-sion
to this collection has been as
high as fifty cents and in exceptional
cases a dollar. The'idea of bringing
the collection to Hershey is to draw
to it every man; woman and child in
the town and the surrounding coun-try,
and so the admission has been
placed at only, ten cents:—and even
this will be used to buy pictures for
the School Building.
In the second place the exhibit will
bring, the people together in the one
building, of the township that appeals
to them most—the school home of
their six hundred children. They will
see what a beautiful structure it is
and will notice how admirably it is
lighted. In this way the exhibit will
be a real social occasion when every-:
body will meet everybody and all will
have a fine time, while enjoying the
greatest pictures in the world.
In the third place the exhibit gives
the public an opportunity to aid in
the decoration of the new building
and in placing upon its -walls the best
of art for the benefit of the children.
Mr. W. F. R. Murrie, President of
the Hershey Chocolate Company, has
already announced his intention of
presenting an oil painting to the
schools. Principal Keboch said to the
Press, "This act of Mr Murrie is most
commendable, for the influence of a
good work of art is hot to be measur-ed.
The appreciation of art is one
of the purest, loftiest arid most en-nobling
pleasures that the world can
offer you." Others who may wish to
present works to the building should
communicate with Principal Keboch
or Miss Brown, Supervisor of Art in
the M. S. Hershey Consolidated
Schools.
The exhibit will be open evenings
of next week from 7 to 9 o'clock.

"it is not equal to tho de-mands.
Interest in photography in

everyone has a camera. Hun-dreds
who visit tho place take pic-tures
and leave their negatives to bo

Water From the Heights
Pressure so Strong That it Will
Throw a Stream Over any
Building in Hershey >
Last week water was pumped into
the reservoirs on. Prospect Heights
and was turned on .over the entire fire
system.
The pressure showed that when the
supply is regularly installed the force
of the stream will reach well over
any building in Hershey. This will
mean much in fire protection as well
as in .other ways. . /<•
So strong is the pressure that no
one person can manage a hose when
turned on from the hydrant in full
force and there should be at least
three men for the work. • Otherwise
there will be danger.
The reservoirs on Prospect Heights
have a capacity- of a million gallons.
The water how used is pumped from
the spring in Hershey. Later the
supply -will come from near Sand
Beach. flThe test was entirely suc-cessful.
Ground has been broken for
a new in-take. near the factory.
Mr. Curtis Had the Fish
And the Favored Few ' .Gave Him a
Vote of Thanks
Wm. Curtis is a persistent fisher7
man. He has made many jaunts this
summer, but returned with ''fish
yarns" instead ,of the fish. Last
week, however, when he came back
from his last fishing excursion he was
laden down with . as fine a string of
Susquehanna river bass as one could
wish to see. .There must have been
at least two dozen on the string. The
next day the favored few at the Her-shey
dining room had a feast, and
they all tendered Mr. Curtis a vote
of thanks, wishing that he always
would return from his fishing expe-ditions
with the same success as he
did on the last one of the 1914 season.

To Get Hershey Interested
in Wharton School Extension
Professor Wendall P. Riiine Visits
This Place and Seeks l,ocal Sup-port
of the Branch to be Estab-lished
in Harrisburg. Good
Work of the Course
Professor Wendell P. Raine of the
Wharton School and Extension School
Faculty of the University of Penn
visited Hershey Monday for the pur-pose
of getting young men and wom-en
of Hershey interested in the Ex-tension
School in Harrisburg.
Mr. Raine said the authorities of
the University of Penn ate willing to
establish a branch school a.n/Harris-burg
provided 100 students can be de-pended
upon to take up the work.
This means that Hershey as well as
Harrisburg may . enjoy the benefits
of University training.
The proposed branch of the Whar-ton
School will be conducted on the
plan of the evening SQhool of Ac-counts'
and Finance of the University
which has met with such great suc-cess
in Philadelphia during the past
11 years. Last year similar branches
were established- in -Wilkes Barre and
Sc'ranton.
The state has appropriated-^1,500,-
000 for the use of the University for
this year and the officials believe that
the best thing that they can do for
the state with this money is to es-tablish
branches. This method brings
the University to the people.
The courses which will be taught
are :—Accounting three years, Com-mercial
Law three years4 Corporation
Finance, three years and. among oth-ers
the following additional courses,
Real Estate, Salesmanship, Advertis-ing,
Business, English, . Government
control of Industry, Insurance, Etc.,
The teachers of the school will be
professors from the Universiey.
In 1914 the evening School of Ac-counts
and Finance was founded in
Philadelphia. This > school gives a
three years course which covers the
same subjects that will be taught in
the Extension School. Graduates of
the school are much in demand by
Philadelphia business men. In sal-aries
the\first four classes^hat. gradu-ated
from , this scho^o^ahow an in-crease
'of 25 per cenw^SThe average
salary of the graduates: of 19.0-i-is now
above $3,200. . ; '':;i>;::
The courses are extremely practical
and the men who are in ^charge are
competent,to.instruct along^thorough-ly
practical business lines. ^
Many of
the teachers are engaged m actual
business or professional work in ad-dition
to their University duties.
In 1904-5, 88 regular students were
enrolled in the evening school Phila-del
phia. Last year there were neai'ly
700 enrolled. During the 11 years of
its existence nearly 3500 men have
been able to take advantage of the
opportunity to get a University edu-cation
at night. Last year 379 stu-dents
enrolled in the branches estab-lished
in Wilkes Barre and Scranton,
The entrance requirements of the pro-posed
branch are the same as those
of the two years' special course in the
Wharton School—a three years high
school . course or its equivalent for
men under 21 years of ago. Those
over 21 without the required High
School trainin g may enter if their
