              FIRE ENGINE
MEETS f HE
FINAL TEST
The Hershey Volunteer Fire Company
held" its regular monthly meeting on Tues-day
evening, of this week, with the follow-ing
members present : Wm. Brinker, John
Conrad, "Posy" Flowers, J. F. Snavely,
Fred Gipe, Henry Henny, John Gordon,
George Grim, John McKinne, Paul Edris,
Charles Black and J. R. Snavely.
In the absence of Bowman Snavely, who
is chairman of the fire engine committee,
Fire Chief Conrad reported the final
results as made on Tuesday afternoon.
Representative^ of the Fire Underwriters,
the Packard Motor Car Co., and the Great
Northern Pump Co., were present £t this
test, which was very satisfactory. l The
engine was run for a period of three hours,
and a stream was thrown consisting of
827 gallons of water a minute, at a 'pressure
of 120 lbs. The engine was purchased
with an understanding that it would throw
750 gallons a minute.
The Hershey reservoirs hold 1,000,000
gallons of water, and with an engine that
we now have, the reservoirs would be
emptied in about 23 hours. So we can
all feel that we have an engine that will
meet all requirements.
It seems that the members of the Fire
Company want to wear badges. As it was
Mr. Flowers, acting under instructions,
had received a number of badges, with
prices, etc. Some of these badges are very
handsome, and we know that when the
members go galavanting around with these
badges affixed to their manly chests, they
will feel like regular dare-devil fire eaters.
Another important matter was decided
upon, and that was, to hold another fair.
The date decided upon was October 21 to
28. There remains a sum of $2000 to
be paid on the fire engine—and it seems
the consensus of opinion that holding a
fair is the only way to get a hold, of the
money. J. F. Snavely was appointed
chairman, and as he was so successful in
getting in the coin of realm last winter, it
looks as though he might be able'to repeat.
Another important matter was the
election of a new member, Mr. Harry
Hocker. We trust that Mr. Hocker will
make a splendid fireman, and we trust that
he will attend the meetings, and thus set
an example for the old members who sit
by the fireside and tell you how to run a
fire company, but never attend the meet-ings.
"NIGHT CAP"
TO BE THE
FAREWELL PLAY
The Hershey Park season is fast coming
to a close, and as a farewell play, on Thurs-day,
Friday and Saturday of this week, the
Luttringer Stock Company will present the
sensational Broadway success, "The Night
Cap".
"The Night Cap''' is a mystery play and
the solution ia not found until the denoue-ment,
which takes place near the end. The
play opens at a time of revelry over which
a tragedy of a rare character, even in fiction
or on stage.
While its theme is a serious one, revolv-ing
about a murder , it is treated in a half
satirical fashion that proves gale after gale
of laughter. Thousands have tried to
solve the mystery before the final curtain.
Theatregoers who fail to see it will have
missed an entertainment well above the
ordinary.
"The Night Cap" was originally pro-duced
at the 39th street theatre, NewjYork,
where it scored a' notable success, at metro-politan
prices. In presenting this great
play for their farewell play, the Luttringer
Players have followed a policy that they
have pursued throughout the entire sum-mer
season of giving the Hershey Park
theatre patrons the very best productions
and presenting them at popular prices.
Scenic Artist II, II. Fish has spared no
efforts to give "The Night Cap" a scenic
dressing that will cause audiences to gasp
with astonishment and, admiration.
Every performance of this three act
comedy should be largely attended , for it
won't be very long before it will be back to
the stove for us, so take advantage of seeing
the Luttringer Players while the opportu-ity
is yours,
C. E. MEETING AT UNION DEPOSIT

SEE GLORIA
SWANSON.
ON TUESDAY
The veranda of the Cafe Ritz in Paris
affords one of .the many intensely interest-ing
scenes in "Beyond the Rocks," the
Paramount picturization of Elinor Glyn's
famous novel, in which Gloria Swanson is
starred^ and which will be screened on
Tuesday evening at the Hershey Park
Theatre. Here at the customary tables
are grouped exactly the types that one
would find in this exclusive establishment
for satisfying the inner man and also
pleasing the eye and ear.
At one table is seated a couple of the
bourgeoisie, as is plainly discrenible by
their appearance and dress and parvenu
is stamped in everything—their expensive
attire, over elaborate; their way of eating
and talking. But between them sits the
daughter of the house—and the excuse for
their presence in the Ritz select confines
—for she is lovely and refined and sweet
as a rare flower.
At another is a typical continental
woman in perfect taste, with a gentleman
apparently of some foreign court; at
another table sits .an elderly man with
starting whiskers who laughs and indulges
in repartee with his vis-a-vis.
Over there is Rodolph Valentino—look-ing
his part of the young English baronet
with Spanish ancestry. He rises as Alec
Francis, playing the father of Theodora,
enters accompanied by Gloria Swanson
who has the stellar role of the last named
character. They meet and Valentino takes
them to his table. It is all correct, all
in perfect taste—and extreme care was
exhibited in this as in every phase of the
story, Mme. Glyn being present to care
for every bit of detail, and assist Sam Wood
the* director, in matters which her long
association with people of the types herein
described has rendered second nature to
her.
And she personally supervised the re-arrangement
of the coiffures of several of
the people who played atomsphere—and
very important atmosphere—in the scene.
O.n one occasion she took a paint brush
and went over the hair of a butler to make
it conform to what she felt was the proper
effect.
Never did anyone take a keener interest
in these matters than the distinguished
British author. She was on the set early
and late, always ready to advise and actual-ly
jump in and do the work if necessary
of rearranging minor or great details.
In this picture which Jack Cunningham
adapted and Thompson Buchanan super-vised,
Gloria Swanson, is cast in a role that
is romantic in the extreme and affords her
unusual opportunities for the display of
her skill and talent in emotional acting and
enables her to wear exquisite gowns and
look her loveliest.
The story is one of love, fervent, endur-ing,
romantic. It is the tale of a mismating
of the undeniable demands of real love for
a hearing and the cull of youth to youth.
It is Elinor Glyn at her best and it points
withal, to a moral that is strong and force-ful—
that none may scoff at love and escape
unscathed.
HERSHE Y VS.
HUMMELSTOWN
¦ The Sunday-School Baseball League has
come to an end, with the U B. Sunday
School team as champions. This team
played consistent ball.although they had
the advantage of having the more-seasoned
players in their line-up, but nevertheless
they played to win, and having won, are
deservingof the honor, and we congratulate
them whole hearted ly. Not only do we
wish to congratulate the winners, but we
wish to congratulate every member of the
four teams, and the officials, too, for the
efforts that they have put forth to make of
this, the first year of the Sunday-School
Baseball League, a success. It has been
in every sense of tlie ,wwd, a splendid and
gratifying succcss^Ajid
we can confidently
look forward to a bigger and better contest
for the season of 1923.
Before the curtain has fallen ,we would
suggest that the beat players be chosen
from the various teams, and that Hummel-stown
do likewise, and that a series of five
games be played between these two teams.
The season is not too far advanccd.arid we
believe the scries would bo a great success.
What say you?
On Tuesday evening Ed. Schwcnk and
Mervin Holland demonstrated to Robert
Sattazahn and Paul Slmltz that they could
play tennis, trimming them decisively
two out of three sets, as follows: 1st set,
6-3 (Schwenk-Ilollancl); 2nd set, 9-7
(Sattazahn-Shultz) ; 3rd set, 6-4 (Scwenlc-
Holland) .
SATTAZAHN AND SHULTZ DE
FEATED
A FEAST OF
MUSIC ON
SUNDAY
So far as the Hershey Park Orchestra is
concerned the season in Hershey is going
to end in what might be termed "a feast of
music." All through the summer the
orchestra has rendered excellent programs.
Its playing has been enjoyed by tens of
thousands of people. Director Fred Pronio
has done everything possible for their
entertainment and his audiences have
b«en liberal in their applause.
The coming Sunday will be the farewell
concert, and Mr. Pronio will present "A
Request" program. In other words the
orchestra will play any selection that is
requested. All requests must be handed
in at the Hershey Park theatre ticket
office by Saturday evening at the latest.

KINDERGARTEN
OPENS
The Hershey Kindergarten re-opened
on Tuesday, September 5th, in charge of
Miss Margaret Good, of Harrisburg.
The enrollment was as follows: Richard
Knoll, Helen Gerth, Ruth Hershey, Gladys
Spancake, Margaret Miller, Frances Gar-man,
Paul Groy, Earl Houser, Milton
Bricker, Tola Goodling, Vera Miller,
Anna Rachael Snavely, Helen Josephine
Snavely, Kathryn VonNeida, Ralph Lloyd
and Bobby Shay.
Last year the enrollment was double
that of this year. Surely there are a
large number of kiddies of suitable age
that should be deriving|!the benefits of a
Kindergarten training.
A kindergarten aims to develop the
child's initiative and efficiency through
training in eslf-activity, by means of play
things, games, songs, manual work and
stories.
The results achieved by the sympathetic
application of the Kindergarten , even
under unfavorable conditions, have led to
its acceptance in the educational theory of
practically all civilized countries.
We sincerely trust that the attendance
at the Hershey Kindcrgatren will grow
each day.
FOOTBALL
SEASON IS ON
On Tuesday evening, of this week, about
twenty-five active and aggressive young
men met at the Hei'shey Men's Club,
where they organized a football team fpr
the. coming season.
Daniel Ensminger was elected manager
of the team, and efforts are being made to
have John Bordner as coach. We trust
that Mr. Bordner will prefer his services—
and if lie does wo can rest assured that
Hershey will have a winning football
aggregation on the field,
Tlie first practice game will be this
coming Saturday afternoon on the Hershey
athletic field at 3 o'clock.
The first game will bo on Saturday, Sept.
16, when Middletown will be played.
WHAT'S WHAT
AND
WHO SE WHO
Fire Chief Conrad had an opportunity
of rushing to a fire on Saturday afternoon
—there was a blaze at the Hershey Lime
Kilns, and away the Chief drove in ail
haste. Arriving on the scene the Chief
found he had a difficult blaze to combat
—but he went to the task. Seemingly he
had made a good job of it, and returned to
Hershey. At 10 o'clock in the evening
there was another alarm and again the
Chief hurried to the scene. This time he
was determined to master the blaze—
and he did. We have a capable Chief,
we hope some day to have a capable fire
organization.
Frank Kegerreis, Harry Hershey, Wm.
Hutchinson and George Schroll motored
down to see the Garden Spot of the World
on Sunday.
Samuel Lingle wishes us to make a
correction—he says his cotton crop is not
a complete failure. He will be able to
harvest a crop after all—he won't get a
bale, however, but indications point to
his gathering enough cotton to make a
pillow—so that he can rest his weary head
after a hard day's toil.
Don't forget the dance that will be
given on Wednesday evening, September
13th, by the Hershey Mothers' Club, for
the benefit of the Hershey Kindergarten.
Mr. and Mrs. Henry Henny motored to
Rohrerstown on Sunday.
Jay Weidler, who for the past year con-ducted
a tailoring establishment on West
Chocolate Avenue, has accepted the posi-tion
as manager of the Men's Shop at the
Hershey Dept. Store. Mr. Weidler knows
the clothing business thoroughly, and he
is a very capable salesman. We are quite
sure that Mr. Weidler will make the Men's
Shop a big success.
A. T. Heilman, after waiting several
months, received his Willis-Knight car last
week. It is a very handsome car, and
we hope that it comes up to Mr. Heilman's
expectations—that it won't cost him a
cent for repair bills. Possibly a Willis-
Knight car is like the old horse shay that
ran on, and on, it just couldn't wear out,
until one day, about fifty years later, it
fell apart, and breathed its last.
• The Lutherans and the United Brethrens
met last Friday evening, for the last time.
The Lutherans wanted the game and they
went after it as though they were going
to bring home the bacon. But the U. B's
had horseshoes in their pockets, and the
best that the Lutherans could do was to
make a tie of it—which is far better than
being defeated. Daniels and Zentmeyer
both pitched splendidly. The Lutherans
are saying: "Watch us next year."
Glorious Gloria Swanson, beautiful
Paramount star, will be seen at the Hershey
Park Theatre, on Tuesday evening, Sept.
13th, in a new picture, '^eyond the Rocks.'
It is based on Elinor Glyn's famous novel
of the same name which scored a big hit
several years ago. Rodolph Valentino,
who supported Dorothy Dal ton in "Moran
of the Lady Letty," is her leading man and
he heads an unusually strong supporting
cast of players.
Mr. and Mrs. George Lathran and
daughter, Kathelen and son Jack motored
from Newark, N, J., and visited Mr. and
Mrs. Irvin Gordon.
Mrs. Jack Fox, of Newark, N. J., spent
a few days visiting her niece, Mrs. Irvin
Gordon.
Mrs. Jacob .Smith, of Labanon, spent
Monday with Mr. and Mrs. Irvin Gordon.

George and Mr. and Mrs. Russel Zent-mener
and son Dick, motored to Schuyl-kill
Park on Sunday.
Mrs. Russel Zentmeyer spent Thursday
in Lebanon.
Mrs. Irvin Gordon spent Wednesday
in Lebanon, visiting her father , Mr. Albert
Snutle.
Tom Black, our genial tonsorial artist,
took a half day off on Wednesday, and
went to the Lebanon Fair to see what was
new in the amusement world. Tom took
his son Bobby along with him, and with
seeing the horses, the Midway, and answer-ing
tl\e questions of his son, Tom put in a
busy afternoon, Tom is a true Lancaster-
Ian , and doesn't think the Lebanon Fair
ia in the same class as the Lancaster Fair.
Charles Black and Clarence Ulrich spent
the week-end at Cape May.
Mr. and Mrs, Grovcr Sheckart spent tlie
week-end at ' Columbia and Washington
Borough. *!
Mr. and Mrs, Robert Hoffman and son
