              Smokestacks In
Hershey Continue To
Grow In Number
Another yellow smokestack, 250 feet
high, with HERSHEY spelled in bricks of
a darker hue, has been constructed at the
main power-house of the Hershey Choco-late
Company, which now totals five
smokestacks in number.
This additional smokestack was con-structed
owing to the increased power
demands necessary to satisfy the rapidly
increasing factory requirements, as well
as to meet the growing demands of the
town itself. The chocolate factory re-quires
not alone a considerable amount of
electrical power, but live steam, refrigera-tion,
compressed air and water, in large
quantities for many purposes.
The main power-house, which is one of
three, is 128 feet wide by 165 feet long, is
located on Spring Creek, the site having
been selected for its advantages as to water
supply, coal delivery and storage and ashes
disposal; also because it was desirable to
keep the dust and dirt incidental to the
handling of coal and ashes as far away from
the manufacturing departments as was
compatible with the economical supply of
power, steam and refrigeration to these
departments.
Five new boilers will be installed, making
a total of ten, each having 74444 square
feet of heavy surface, set singly and ar-ranged
in two rows, with a common bunker
and fireroom space between them.
In the turbine room the fourth turbo-generator
will be installed and equipped
with surface condensers, which will gener-ate
7500 kilowatts, approximately 7500
boiler horse power.
A covered passageway, or tunnel, 12 feet
wide, connects the power-house building
with the manufacturing plant, and thru
this tunnel the various steam, exhaust, air
and water supply pipes extend.
A concrete track-hopper and crusher-house
is provided between two of the piers
of the coal siding, and in the crusher-house
below the track-hopper are installed the
feeder and crusher which delivers the coal.
The coal is fed from the track-hopper to
a single-toll crusher and is delivered by the
conveyor to storage or into the bunker
above the boilers, as desired. Arrange-ment
is made for reclaiming coal from the
storage pile by the conveyor, which is used
for handling ashes as well as coal, and
which has a capacity of sixty tons an hour.
Ashes and refuse from the hoppers under-neath
the stokers are discharged unto a
movable apron and thence thru heavy bar
gratings to the lower run of the conveyor.
Any clinkers too large to go thru the grat-ings
are broken up by hand. The feeding
of the coal to the boilers and the removal
of the ashes is done automatically.
The water supply for the plant is taken
from Spring Creek , across a low dam which
has been built to raise the water's level and
aflOrd a better supply at the intake and
screen house. The intake is protected by
a heavy bar screen and the water that
passes thru it flows thru a 42-inch pipe to
the boiler room. A discharge water
conduit leads to a point below the dam.
To give sufficient water for the require-ments
a spraying system has been in-stalled
in the creek adjoining the plant ,
which cools and purifies the water.

Also bags, pqeketbooks, manicure sets,
needle sets, scissors sets, perfumes, toilet
waters, stationery, handkerchiefs, gloves,
neckwear, slippers umbrellas and hosiery.
There are suggestions galore in the
lingerie displays consisting of vests, bloom-ers,
chemise, gowns, underthings, costume
slips, petticoats and pajamas.
Then there are housedresses, aprons,
bathrobes, kimonas, blouses, skirts, mid-dies
and knickers. Also dresses, coats and
furs.
For the men there are suits, overcoats,
top coats, shirts, neckwear, hose, handker-chiefs,

Cruze Unit Journey
((
4,300 Miles For
"The Fighting Coward^"
James Cruze and his entire producing
company of actors, actresses, electricians,
carpenters, cameramen, extras, etc.,
traveled overland a distance of 4,300
miles from Hollywood to Natchez, Miss.,
for scenes for the new Paramount picture,
"The Fighting Coward."
Within a short distance of the historic
southern city, the man who made "The
Covered Wagon," "Hollywood ," "Ruggles
of Red Gap," "To the Ladies" and other
successes, found the exact locations called
for in the Booth Tarkington story, one of
southern life before the Civil War. Real
old southern mansions, steamboats, levees
and plantations serve as the background
for the dramatic action.
Natchez turned out to a man to assist
the director in making his new production
a faithful motion picture record of life in
the South about 1850.
James Cruze has established a reputa-tion
for the notable casts of his produc-tions,
and the list of players, who appear
in "The Fighting Coward", is of the same
brilliant character as the rosters of "The
Covered Wagon" and the rest.
Ernest Torrence, Mary Astor, Noah
Beery, Phyllis Haver and Cullen Landis
are featured in the picture, which will be
shown at the Hershey Central Theatre on
Saturday evening, Nov. 29th , at 7.45
o'clock. Others include Carmen Phillips,
Bruce Covington, Helen Dunbar and
Frank Jonasson.
Landis has the role of Tom Rumford ,
southern born but northern bred , who
returns to his home in the South and
becomes engaged to his cousin. He en-counters
the terrible duelling code which
prevails, and of which he is ignorant. He
is challenged to a duel by a rival for the
girl 's hand , and refuses because he firmly
believes that this is just a polite form of
murder. He is driven from his home and
deserted even by his sweetheart.
The story os his final triumph and the
finding of a new love forms one of the
strongest , not to say strangest, climaxes
ever filmed.
Mix Wins Thrilling
Race In Latest Film
The big race scene in Tom Mix 's new
William Fox production , "Oh, You Tony!"
which will be shown at the Hershey Cen-tral
Theatre on Tuesday evening, Dec. 2d,
at 7.30 o'clock , is punctuated with thrills
and excitement. Tom is entered with his
wonder horse Tony for the race, the winner
of which gets $25,000. Due to the plotting
of Earle Foxe and Dolores Rousse, villain
and assistant respectively, Tom is delayed
in arriving until the last minute. It is
only because of a number of false starts
that he succeeds in arriving at all.
Wearing white riding trousers, high
black boots, a white flannel shirt striped
with black , and a big white Stetson, Tom
tears madly down the street on Tony and
is duly registered as an entry by the judges.
At the crack of the pistol , the horses go off
down the street , around the corner, and the
race is on.
Claire Adams, leading lady, stands near
the judges stand , jumping excitedly up and
down as the position of the riders is an-nounced
to the clamoring crowd . As two
of the riders round the corner on the home
stretch , the horses galloping furiously, Tom
and Tony passed the tape a full length in
advance of their nearest rival.
Leaping from Tony while the horse is
still galloping at full speed , Tom dashes
across the street and seizes Miss Adams in
his arms, accepting with flushed face and
happy smile the cheers and congratulations
of the admiring throng. Five hundred
extras are employed in this scene.
Others in the cast are Richard Lareno,
Charles K. French , Pat Chrisman, Miles
McCarthy, Matilda ISrundage , May Wal-lace
and Evelyn Sherman.

Dr. Harvey Bossier
Writes Of Political
Conditions In Peru
Dr. Harvey Bossier, of Myerstown, who
was recently elected a Fellow of the Royal
Geographical Sc/ciety, of London, England,
is now on an expedition to the home of the
Jibero Indians in Peru.
In a request from his friend Samuel S.
Moesser for information as to the "staying
qualities" of Hershey's chocolates in the
tropics, several packages were sent to Mr.
Moesser to be forwarded to Dr. Bossier, in
order to put them to the test .
This week a communication was received
from Mr. Moesser, as follows:
"The chocolates were immediately
forwarded to Iquitos, Amazon River, Peru ,
Dr. Bossier 's headquarters. He expected
to leave some time in July for a six months'
expedition among the Jibero Indians. It
takes six to eight weeks to reach him by
mail, so the chocolates did not get to
Iquitos before he left for the jungle and
will be waiting his return in January. On
former expeditions he has had communi-cation
with his headquarters, now and
then , but owing to the unusual dangers of
travel in the Jibero territory this pro-cedure
has been omitted.
"The last communication I received
from him was received September 27th , a
letter that was written June 27th and 28th.
This letter was unusually long in coming,
probably caused by the uncertain naviga-tion
of the Amazon River, where vessels
are some times stuck on sand bars for days
until another steamer comes along and
pulls them off.
"I regret the chocolates did not reach
him in time but am confident I will get a
report about them, some time in the future
and will let you know at once the result. I
an anxious, myself, to know if they prove
of value. At the present timg 1 am packing
a lot of jars containing home-made jam
and canned pears and peaches and evapo-rated
fruit. The fruit down there such as
pears, apples and peaches are of indifferent
varieties and more or less scrubs, although
the soil would produce choice fruit , if
planted ."
Mr. Moesser enclosed part of Dr. Boss-ier's
last letter portraying some of the
political methods in Peru, which we believe
will be of interest to our readers, so are
printing it, which is as follows:
Iquitos, Amazon River, Peru , June 17th.
"The general elections are now less than
a month away and the people here are
beginning to carry on with a partisan
bitterness that North Americans look upon
with amazement. The town (20,000) is
under military rule now and the soldiers
are thrown across it to prevent the people
from the southern half crossing to the
northern half of the city except with a pass.
Yesterday all business was at a standstill ,
stores, schools closed and a genera l strike
was declared .
"On Saturday one of the political leaders
arrived from Lima and he was greeted at
the pier by a great mob. The post boat
on which he arrived was intercepted by
another launch above the city and this
man was warned of great danger to his
person if he landed there by day-light and
was advised to come aboa rd the local craft
but he refused. As he approached , the
mob hooted and cried "Kill him! Kill
him "!! A heavy military guard pre-vented
trouble as he and the former pre-fect
, Gen. Alvares, who recently resigned
to become a candidate for Senator for
this Dept went to the movie theatre "Al-hambra"
for a patriotic demonstration
with their adherents, but the mob rushed
the place in spite of the guard s and in the
fight that followed his coa t was torn from
his back as he escaped lo the roof where he
ran along the house tops for some distance
and got away and then hid.
"His brother was caught and brutally
beliten as well as the man who carried his
suit case. Shots were fired and one man
was badly wounded by a riile ball and
others were wounded with clubs. His
coat was bourn aloft on a pole as his politi-cal
enemies paraded about in a noisy mob,
and they said they would carry his head
that way, by and by. Bis baggage was
destroyed. I saw some of this demonstra-tion
from our house. Next day they did
some looting of shops or better sacking for
once they started they carry off everything.
"The sister of one of my assistants is a
neighbor of this "politico ' and on Sunday
the mob broke into her home and looteel ,
simply becau se she was a neighbor of his.
She was painfully hurt by these toughs , as
she struggled to defend her property. This
day loo the mob chased the crew about
town in an effort to beat them up -the
crew of the launch that brought him to
Iquitos! This being sufficient offense to
call for punishment.
"A month ago lhe General' s faction hail
a grea t banquet and popular demonstra-tion
and the following day (he opposition
planned a popular barbacuc, but the police
favorable lo the (lea. (who was still Prefect
al the time) forbade this barbacuc so they
had Instead , that same night , a little dance
off by themselves on the outskirts of (lie
town. A policeman was sent to ask them
to disband and they told him to "go chase
himself. " He reported to his Chief and
the chief sent a whole squad of cops who
lined up in front of the place and again told
lhe assembled to "break up " but iir reply
they were told to go to - and after a further
brief interchange of compliments the
squad was commanded to lire into the
merry making throng. Several people
were hit , one through (lie head filially, and
and then did brea k loose properly, for if
you want lo make a crowd of these people

They, hurled themselves upon the |XM >I
cops who lied into the darkness in all
direclloiiHfo r their very lives , for a man is a
very poor insurance risk when a South
American mob gels to chasing hlni. The
sergeant, who gave lhe order lo lire , was
caught and beaten into a pulp. They were
sure they had killed him but one spark of
life remained and he is still alive and will
probably recover. Several oilier cops were
beaten also. Well this made (he General's
enemies wild with a spirit of revenge and
all the Police force , for "sa fe keeping, " was
placed under heavy guard In the hnrnicks
for a week, while lhe town was policed by
the military. By (lie end of a week the
people had cooled to such an extent that

Local Man Has Part In
$4,000,000 Campaign
Ministers of forty-eight different de-nominations
are banded together in a
nation-wide movement to raise $4,000,000
for Union Theological Seminary in the City
of New York. The local representative of
the movement is Rev. Robert H. Taylor,
who is a graduate of the Seminary.
Union Seminary is the largest graduate
school of theology in America , and the only
one that is both strictly interdenomi-national
and without official connection
with any university. It has informal
affiliation with Columbia and New York
Universities.
This year the Seminary has enrolled 424
students who have grad uated from various
colleges and are preparing for the ministry
in many denominations. Five denomi-nation
s are represented on the Seminary's
Board of Directors, seven on its faculty
and thirty-nine in its student body. No
such representative interdenominational
group exists elsewhere in America. The
Union Seminary Campaign is to be carried
on throughout the country among the
leading Protestant denominations. John
D. Rockefeller , Jr., has already given $1,-
083,333 and another friend has given $1,-
21)0,000 on condition that the entire $-1-,
000,000 be raised .

American Legion To
Sponsor Community
Christmas Tree
At the Community Christmas tree last
year 750 children were the recipients of
toys, also oranges, candies and popcorn,
given to them by Santa Claus. Carols
were sung and the spirit of Christmas cheer
pervaded , and it was a most gratifying
success.
This year was deemed advisable to widen
the scope of Santa Claus' endeavors, and
the American Legion was'asked to sponsor
the affair , which , at their meeting on Tues-day
evening, they decided to do so, and
the following committee was appointed :
Mrs. Ezra F. Hershey, Miss Elizabeth
High , Prof. A. M. Hinkel , John R. Zoll,
Fred Botts, Ivan Mease and Paul Shultz.
We trust that all of the people of Her-shey
and immediate vicinity will get back
of the Community Tree with the same
spirit and enthusiasm as they have done in
tlie past . Don 't let the few do it—but let
each one of us do our share. The greater
the number of dollars that are gathered , the
greater will be the size of the package that
Santa Claus will be enabled to give to each
big-eyed and expectant child.
Do not fail to be a Santa Claus beyond
the confines of your own four walls. All
children look forward to the coming of
Santa Claus. They have faith in his
coming. You can help them to realize this
faith at Christmas time , bringing joy and
sunshine into their little lives and you
will help share in it yourself. And the
splendid thing about it is that it takes so
little .
As last year each child H years and under ,
will receive a bag containing a large orange,
candy, j iopcorn, and a toy. This means
the babies in the cooing age, the wee tots
in the mamma and dada age, and up but
not over H yairs of age. Each year the
throng grows larger , and it looks as if tho
a thousand children will have to be pro-vided
for , which will require $350.
Don 't make the commit tee come around
and ask for your contribution. Do the
big thing! Put your name down on the
dotted line at the first opportunity. The
phone is at your elhow--the mail man is
handy, and you see members of this com-mittee
unite frequently. Let 's gel tin;
quota ra ised NOW!
Let each one of us endeavor at Christmas
lime to do our share in sending gladness
into every home.

Another Large Unit
To Be Constructed
To Factory
To provide for the ever-increasing
business the Hershey Chocolate Co. will
construct another large manufacturing
and storage unit. The ground has been
staked off and "building operations will
begin immediately.
The building will be of concrete and tile,
and will be 5 stories high with a basement,
383 feet long by 118 feet wide. It will be
situated between Bldg. 35 and the old coal
storage pit , facing the Reading railroad.
The building will be used exclusively for
the storage and handling of the cocoa
beans and almonds.
From the storage bins these raw
materials will be carried to the machines
where they will be cleaned and sorted ;
then passing to the roasters. The cocoa
beans will then go to the hulling and mill-ing
machines and then to the hydraulic
presses, all of these operations to take
place in this large unit.
