Fast Team After Travelers Scalp on Frida y Evening On Friday evening the fast basketball quintet representing the Scranton Lace Company, of Scranton, will be the attrac-tion at the Hershey-Men's Club, playing the Hershey Travelers. The game will be called at 8 o'clock. The admission will be 35 cents. The proceeds will be donated, to the treasury of the 1925 Hershey baseball team. The Scranton basketball team have a string of victories to their credit and will make the Travelers step a leg to win the victory. The Scranton team is composed of young men about 20 years old, and are employed by the Scranton Lace Company. In pursuance of that company's policy, as a reward for splendid services rendered , annual outings are arranged , and this year Hershey was chosen. Let's pack the gymnasium on Friday evening and give the boys from Scranton a royal welcome. We'll see a good game, and we'll help fatten the treasury of the boys who hope to "hit them where they ain't", when the blue birds warble in Hershey Park this Summer. See the Total Eclipse at Hershe y Central Theatre Tonight As an added feature on Thursday (to-night) at the Hershey Central Theatre Fox News will show pictures taken during the recent total eclipse of the sun. These pictures vividly depict the total eclipse. Scores of cameramen covered the event of the centuries from all possible angles. Leading scientists co-operated with the new's cameramen to produce complete, accurate and beautiful pictures of this most rare of celestial phenomena. Cameramen were sent above the clouds in aeroplanes in order to make striking photos. The results attained were marvelous, astounding and awe-inspiring. Don't fail to see this picture—an oppor-tunity of a life time. See how the sun's corona looks from the air! See the skyline of New York growing darker and darker! See what the people and animals did when the moon blotted out the rays of the sun! See how famous astronomers worked during the eclipse! See how the eclipse was caused! The most marvelous picture of the age— don't fail to see it tonight . No extra charges to see this added feature, at which time the Paramount production "The Side Show of Life", will be shown, starring Ernest Torrence and Anna Nilsson. Mrs . Joh n J.

Ernest Torrence Featured in "The Side Show of Life Film fans will be more than interested in the announcement that the Herbert Brenon Paramount production of "The Side Show of Life" will be shown at the Hershey Central Theatre on Thursday (tonight), Feb^Sth, at 7.30 o'clock. The picture is an adaptation of William J. Locke's justly- famous novel, "The Mountebank," and Ernest Torrence, fea-tured with Anna Q. Nilsson in the pro-duction, has the principal role. Having a reputation for truth we cannot truthfully say that when William J. Locke wrote his famous novel "The Mounte-bank," from which the screenplay was adapted, he had Torrence in mind for the title role, but it s dollars to doughnuts that he could not have written a part more suited to Torrence's talent and tempera-ment if he had! The story of the clown who joins the army as a private during the war, rises to the rank of brigadier-general and finds himself at demobilization in love with a titled English woman, but after all, just a clown—can you just picture Tor-rence in such a role? Every bit of the comedy and pathos that has made so many thousands of people laugh and cry over the book has been put on the screen with all the mastery of Herbert Brenon. Better see this one! Campaign For More Clean Milk Twenty Dauphin County farmers and dairymen are pioneers in a campaign to produce more clean milk in Dauphin County. In co-operation with the Bureau of Animal Husbandry of the State De-partment of Agriculture, the Dauphin County Agricultural Extension Association is directing the campaign through securing tuberculin testing of dairy herds. The importance of the campaign is shown by the fact that 25 per cent, of tuberculosis in humans is contracted thru milk from diseased cattle. Bovine tuber-culosis is transferred to children under ten years of age during the period when milk consumption is greatest and the ability to withstand the disease is least. The following individuals have enlisted in the campaign for cleaner milk: Isaac Arms, Dauphin, R. D. 2; Bonnymead Farms, Harrisburg; J. M. Boyer, Lykens, R. D. 1; Aaron Erdman, Elizabethville, R. D. 1; Charles Hartman, Gratz ; Hein-baugh Brothers and Philip Miller, Millers-burg; R. S. Heisey, Bachmansville; Frank iCitchen, Halifax, R. D. 2; David W.

With Purcell and Tinney rolling them in from all corners of the floor the Myerstown seemed dazed and never had a chance.

The second half was a repetition of the first , with the Store team trailing along and giving very little oppo-sition to the fast going mill team. The league is going along strong and runnlnc smoothly with the Wrappin g Room still clinging on to the lead and the Planing Mill strong contenders of championship honors. STORE PLANI NG MILL V.

Travelers Nosed Out by Two Points On Wednesday evening, Jan. 28th, the Berks team, of Lebanon, defeated the Hershey Travelers by the score of 29 to 31, in the most sensational game played on the Men's Club floor this season. It was a nip and tuck affair throughout, first one and then the other team being in the lead. At no time during the entire game were the teams separated by more than four points. From the first tip off the fans were on their feet cheering the sensational shots of both teams, the excitement be-coming more intense as the game pro-gressed. With one minute to play the Lebanonians were leading by one point. A foul was called on the Travelers which their opponents converted into a point. The Travelers then tried long shots but were unable to come across with the winn-ing marker. At half time, Benny Reigle and Sam Curry indulged in a most interesting scrap, which was stopped in the second round, when one of the laces on Curry's glove cut "Benny " on the bridge of the nose. Benny was game and continued to fight in spite of the flow of blood, but ref-eree Douglass very wisely decided to stop the bout so that Reigle could receive medical attention.

WHAT'S THE MATTER WITH THE BUSY MEN In the office of the Hershey Men 's Club is displayed a large schedule showing the hours for exercise devoted to the various classes of the club. It is here noted that the "Busy Men's Class" meets every Tuesday and Friday evening from 5.30 to 7.30. So far this year this class has been conspicuous by its absence. "What 's the matt er with the Busy Mcii. " In past years thi s class was the most active of any in th e Club. Seems as though they need a leader to get them started and out of the rut of inactivity. "Let 's get out and get the ball a rollin g as we did when "Able" Cowan was with us. " MIDGET CLASS MAKES RAPID PROGRESS The Midget Class at the Men's Club is still growing but there are still a lot of youngsters around town that don 't know what they are missing by not taking ad-vantage of the opixirlunitics offered at the Club. The class consists of Ixiys' whose ages range from H to 12 years. Almost all of the members of the class are now able to swim and in addition to this learn to play various gym games, Includin g basketball, etc. Parents, if you are lucky enough to have a Ikiv you should be lnteiestcd . Send him in to the Club.

J ll »i H % II ¦% «-^*»^ti ^n-^ii^fcii^^ tl ^.H ¦*¦!f ^ m «^| As this is our maiden appearance in the capacity of a columnist, we think it best to introduce ourselves to the readers of the Hershey Press. We are'/'The Smoke Stack." Which one? The smokiest one, of course. We were pretty cheeky to choose such an elevated name. The smoke stack is one of the most elevated subjects of the town. We shall have to burn, we fear, a great deal of midnight oil to live up to our lofty appellation, but we hope that, in one respect at least , this cloumn will prove to be a real smoke stack. We hope it will have HERSHEY written all over it. . Now if you will imagine someone break-ing a bottle of Cocoa Milk over "The Smoke Stack," thereby christening it, we shall consider it named and ready to take up its functions (if it has any) in our town. We will now be favored with a song and dance by the Neapolitan Quartet entitled, "I Saw Her First in Hershey." I saw her first in Hershey Store, She was a comely lass, And all the girls I 'd seen before Weren't even in her class. She beat them all in ev'ry weigh, Then, too, her thoughts had weight, The scales revealed when she weighed in Two hundred thirty-eight. She looked at us so sauer kraut, And tears were in her eyes, I guess I'll diet me," she quoth, ' And take some exercise. Alas! alass had made resolve To diet and get thin, Divide her waist by three and to Erase her double chin. She did her daily doesn't while She ate her mayonnaise. She kept the treatment up they say, For six or seven days. But she is eating onions now And other solid food , For she declares her sacrifice Did not a bit of good. So far this year the girl in the galoshes has not complained about not getting her money's worth out of her zippers. A chicken com soup dinner needs no orchestra. The diners drinking soup would drown it out anyway. Jack Dempsey has been matched with Estelle Taylor. They say this will be his first enlistment in the war. Benney Reigle, take warning! Don't get matched for more than six rounds, and let the marriage ring alone. Mr. Consumer of Electric Light, you say that your electric bills are running higher than ever before. Out in Chicago they assign a reason for increased electnc bills. They say, blame the radio and the cross-word puzzle, the radio because it uses current when it is recharged, the cross-word puzzle because everyone goes by himself to work out a solution and to beat the rest of the family. This keeps more lights in use. Then too, with so much entertainment in the home more and more people are becoming stay-at- homes and are keeping the home fires , and the home lights, burning. Elmer Hadden, aged eight, of Battle Creek, Mich., robbed a bank and was caught by the police in an attempt to set fire to a theatre. "Whattle we do", the cops wanted to know. "Oh, give me a good talking to and let me go," said Elmer. Now, now Elmer, you mustn 't do that. It 's naughty to rob banks and burn down theatres unless you have a membership card in the Burglar's Guild , and belong to the Arson Trust. Run along home and help mother. The other day a drummer entered the Department Store during the noon rush , and, while he was waiting to see his man, he let fall a bit of talk which it seems bears repeating. "Do you know," he said "lots of fellows are inclined to knock a town like 1 Iershey and say it is a dead hole. They think because the pool rooms and the burlesque shows are not running overtime, and he-cause the streets arc not full of loafers, that life in such a place would be unlivable. But , believe me, brother , this is just the kind of a town I like. Ever yone here has a job, there is little discontent and crime, there is lots of money, and consequently, from such a community, I am able to send in big orders to my firm. "They also serve who only stand and wait. " Thus wrote John Milton , the Puritan poet. But most people, after waiting about so long for something to turn up, lose faith in this great truth and start rustlin g for a job. Last Friday morning, when the trolleys were out of the running, the line of workers, advancing In single file from the passenger sta tion to the factory, resembled a movie of the Klondike gold rush. There are still a few unenlightened souls, In this otherwise intellectual nation of ours, who do not even secretly believe tlmt the Ground I log is always right. Strickland Glllilan , the humorist pout , and lecturer was .scheduled to give a lecture in a small town. "Say," he snid, to the master of cere-monies, as the ceremonies were atx)ut to beghi , ''will you see that some one puts out a pitcher of water and a glass for me?" "Wha chewnnt water for? To think?" "No,"answered Strlclt , "I'm gonna talcc n hi gh dive, In the second act." I-ct's feed the birds and the holxxis. This is an unusually hard winter for them. Don't Read Thlsl It 's An Ad. If I were a fur-clothed Eskimo And lived in a snow igloo, I'd wrap me in a bearskin ru g And let the wind whoo-hoo, I'd eat the blubber of the whale And never say, "Ker-Choo. " If 1 were a south-sea Islander , I wouldn 't have much to do, I'd have mo slaves to wait on me, I'd have a wife or two. I'd dine me In the event line On missionary stew. If I were a Dauphin Countinn , . Hud never seen southern sens, Had never killed n polar l>enr , I'd bravo the coldest breeze Or driving enow, I'd not catch cold , I'd wear ray B. V.

In his various books of his early life the beloved Colonel often spoke of the Paradise of the West, where he had trailed bear and bison in their native haunts. Tom Mix, who fought with Roosevelt's troops in the Spanish-American war, idolized the celebrated leader of the Rough Riders and in later years was an ardent reader of the Colonel s books of the West. When William Fox decided to make a motion picture from Clarence E. Mulford's novel, "The Orphan," to be called "The Deadwood Coach," he immediately noti-fied Mix. The latter already had read the story and realized that here was an opportunity to stage a picture in the actual locations so highly praised by Colonel Roosevelt. In the past all so-called "Western" screen plays were made in California and the public now recognizes most of the "select" locations the moment they are flashed on the silver sheet. This was another reason Tom Mix desired to stage "The Deadwood Coach" in the actual locations described by the author. As a result, the entire company, includ-ing supporting players the director , techni-cal directors, cameramen and studio workers traveled to the Bad Lands to make the exteriors. The result is a triumph of picturesque photography. Everything that the beloved T. R. ever said about the beauty of the Dakota Bad Lands is vis-ualized. All the action takes place in the midst of the gorgeous scenery of the Bad Lands and it is probable that never before has this country been used as a location for a motion picture. Doris May is seen opposite Mix in "The Deadwood Coach," which was directed by Lynn Reynolds. " It will be given its initial local presentation at the Hershey Central Theatre on Tuesday evening, Feb. 10th, at 7.30 o'clock. Miss Ruth Esbenshade Molds Huge Sphinx Miss Ruth Esbenshade took advantage of the old-fashioned winter now prevailing, and with a shovel, skillful hands and with an inborn knowledge of sculpturing, she fashioned a huge Sphinx upon the expan-sive lawn (now piled with snow) in front of her home on East Granada Avenue. The Sphinx is not quite as massive as that of the Egyptian Sphinx at Gizah, but is of huge dimensions nevertheless, and its contour and features are true in every detail. The reason that Miss Esbenshade choose a Sphinx to show the mastery of her un-errin g skill is due to the fact that it is an emblem of her class at Mt. Holyoke Col-lege. A Sphinx, in ancientGreek legend, was a monster, which appeared in Boeotia, and killed all the inhabitants who could not solve a riddle which she propounded to them. The riddle was "What animal is it that has four feet, and two feet, and three feet , and only one voice; yet its feet vary, and when it has most it is weakest?" Oedipus answered rightly, "Man; for he crawls on all fours as an infant, and in old age moves on his feet and a staff." Upon this the Sphinx slew herself. The idea of the Sphinx came to Greece, no doubt, from Egypt. But in Egypt the Sphinx is represented as a lion without wings, with a human head; while the Greek Sphinx is a winged lion with a woman's head. Hershe y Beats Annville on Own Floor Staging a strong comeback in the second period , the Hershey High School basket-ball tossers, showed their bitter rivals , Annville High how the game was played on last Friday evening at Annville , defeating them decisively by the score of 59 to IK. The first half ended 14 to 11 favoring Hershey anil the college town toys had high hopes of sending the locals back to llershcy defeated for the fifth consecutive year, but Hershey boys were not to be denied victory and after starling off in whirlwind fashion began piling up points almost at will. Purcell , who was held to two field goals in the opening half , got going and lxx>sted his total to seven. At no time in the second period was the Her-shey tea m in danger of being headed .

Boy Scouts Pro pose Campaign Against Indecent Magazines There is nothing prudish about the proposed Boy Scout campaign against the mcreasing output of magazines that reek with indecent stories ana pictures. It is a common-sense move to stem a corrupting influence which oozes from many news-stands and injects its filth largely into the minds of boys and girls, young men and women. From cheap, pocket-size publi-cations which deal openly in dirt and can be carried in school books, to pretentious monthlies purveying guise of revealing "real" life, such literature is flooding youthful minds, not only with immoral suggestiveness, but with such putridity as should make its manufacturers and pur-veyors easy to convict under existing federal laws. Compared to these foul periodicals, the once-scorned Police Gazette might be credited to the Purity League. There are at least thirty of them, according to Frank-lin K. Matthews, chief librarian of the Boy Scouts of America, and one vile brood of six or seven issues from a single source—a faddist who caters to sex impulses under pretense of protecting youth from the pitfalls of life. Of course, these panderers have been emboldened to overstep all bounds of decency by the lascivious trend of more pretentious literature during the last decade, and the state of the stage and movies. But this does not justify the poisoning of young minds thru mediums cheap to secure and easy to secrete. Nor does it lighten the blame on law officers who wink at their existence. To permit circulation of such perverted literature as flows freely thru these channels is so dangerous that no effort should be spared to check the flood. The movement started by the Scouts should be heartily joined by every father and mother and every person who appreciates the value of reasonably clean minds in the youth of the land. F. B. Snavely Placed on the Honor Roll The Hershey Volunteer Fire Company held its regular monthly meeting on Tues-day evening, with the following members present: John C. Hershey, Geo. Schroll, Joe Brewer, Geo. Feeser, Oliver Keck, Paul Shoop, Sam'l Johnstin , Paul Seavers, Herman Seavers, Ira Gibble, A. W. Flow-ers, Wm. Freymeyer, Jerome Hostetter, Oliver Hetrick, Dan Mowrer, Roy Stern-berger, David Rittle, Paul Zentmeyer, John H. Gordon, Irvin Uhler and Harry Imboden. The following new members were elected: Clyde Ebersole, Calvin Reich, Chester Swartz, Victor Smith, Chas. Copenhaver and Berlin Ensweiler. A communication was read from F. B. Snavely, one of the organizers of the Fire Company, to the effect that inasmuch as he had moved "on the farm" and was quite some distance from Hershey, altho he could hear the siren and see the smoke-stacks, he concluded to hand in his resig-nation, letting the younger men carry on. Mr. Snavely's resignation was accepted , and his name was placed upon the Honor Roll. It was decided that a new house com-mittee be appointed, and President Paul Shoop appointed the following members to act in that capacity : J. R. Kreider, Geo. Schroll, Samuel Johnstin, Wm. Brinker and Geo. Feeser. The amendment to the Constitution and By-Laws, permitting any man over 18 years to join the organization , was carried. Hershe yites Interview Brer Groundho g Out into the stubble fields, across the icy wastes, Roy Lloyd , "Pabst " Zent-meyer, Wm. Gelling and Bill Curtis fared forth on Groundhog Day'that to obtain inf ormation from Brer Groundhog himself. The rain dripped down thru the bare branches. The ground was soggy, when it wasn 't mucky with rusty snow. The rain dri ppeil down the necks of these stal-wart Hersheyites. But , they won, altho their quest was much delayed . Tripping with a certain quaint manner came a small , dark , furr y form. A squeaky voice reached the ears of our ra pt observers, v \ "How much wixjd would a woodchuck chuck ; "Oh, how much wixxl would a woodchuck chuck ; "Aye, how much wood would— " "Fe, fi , fo, fum, I smell the blood of a Dutchman ", said the groundhog, in ter-rupting himself , "what do you want out here on Joe Clark's farm , do you want to scare bis rabbits?" "Please, sir " - said they, we want to in terview you tdxmt Groundhog day " "Grea t squeaking /.alamdodongsl" said the ground hog, "are you fellows tit it again. " '"Ihis Is F ebruary 2 ' , explained Wm. Curtis, and - "Yeah , I know Groundhog Day" and a West Virginian like you out to know belter than coining 'way out here to pester me about such st uff. ' "Now look here", continu ed the Ground-hog, getting all wrought up. "You fellows have to quit putting me in the class with goosclxmo weather prophets. I don 't monkey with the weather , In fact , I don 't know nitything about the weather. Get that I "You humans give me a terrible laugh. Some of you would believe anything. I'll bet thousands of folk will figure that because today is cloudy and I can't see my 'shadow ', an early spring is on the way. Just as the y would believe we were in for a long winter If I had 'come out ' today and found the sun shillin g. "I come out when I come out; that 's when I come out. I just use my noodle. I come out and get something to eat, And I go back and take a good snooze, and mind my own business and keep on I of trouble. "But look at you hunians, You have scientist s who can tell when thu moon is going to be nl n certain place at u certain time. You hav e automobiles, fast trains, airplanes, electricity, chocolate and com-forts and luxuries without number. "And if the nun had been shining today n lot of you would be saying, 'Whlrrii , whirra ,' or words to that effect , and order-in g more coal, And you pay men to fi gure out the weather for you. "Gwnn buck to your chocolate factory and continue to make gixxl chocolate and t ell Ed. Lewis to put in the Hershey Press that I said 'Wlint fools these, mortals be.' I' ve been out iiiul I' m going buck, and I' ve got n lot more sense than you have. It-emise I know enough to get In out of this wet ," The squeaky lit tie song died away In the afternoon gloom of the dim , dark forest: "If a woodchuck could chuck wood!" Jackie Coogan in "A Boy of Flanders " Saturda y Evening Jackie Coogan as a Iittie Belgian boy with baggy trousers, funny little cap, great, clumsy, clattering wooden shoes and patched jacket with large buttons, of assorted shapes and sizes—Jackie Coogan as little NeUo, the immortal hero of Ouioa's story, will be seen at the Hershey Central Theatre on Saturday evening, Fee. 7th, at 6.30 o'clock and b.30 o'clock. Another triumph is scored by this mysteriously gated child in a story as duterent Irom "Long Live the King" as the latter is different irom "Oliver Twist." Jackie's medium in this, his second Metro picture, is "A Boy of Flanders," adapted Irom Ouida's story, "A Dog of Flanders," and the adaptation has been made with the greatest skill. The story is reproduced on the screen with a fidelity rarely to be observed and not a single episode of significance, drama, comeay, pathos or thrill is missing. While the cumax, in the snow-storm that sweeps over Flanders fields and buries the Cathe-dral steps at Antwerp in a deep cover, is one of the most poignant and appealing that has ever been screened. Never has Jackie appeared more effec-tively, and it is safe to say that in "A Boy of Flanders" he touches tragic heights never before revealed in any JacKie Coogan picture, while the comedy touches and numor of which his art is capable, are abundantly provided throughout the entire story. His audience is moved through strata of smiles and tears, laughter and thrills,, merriment and suspense. All the implications found in Ouida's too-short story have been developed into the flowering of a great drama, and only in an adjustment of the closing episodes is there the slightest departure from the original— and who could bear to see "A Boy of Flanders" if the hero should die out in the cold and the snow with his dead compan-ion, the noble-hearted dog Petrasche as his only solace? Such an ending would be too harrowing. As it is, the hearts of all who see this picture are sufficiently wrung and there is a sigh of relief and then the joy of a great delight when—but you must see "A Boy of Flanders" for yourself. It is like fine music—it cannot be described. It is played with strokes that words cannot define nor explain. It is Jackie at his best, and it will add even to the fame that is already his. Victor Schertzinger's direction of the picture brings out the genius of the gifted boy while the supervision of details as cared for by Jackie Coogan, Sr., discloses him as one of the most effective producers in the motion picture industry. Free Toxin-Antit oxin Treatments at Hershey Not so many years ago diphtheria was the black enemy of childhood. All over the world it claimed a frightful toil. And the tragedy was that three-quarters of its victims were little tots under six—hardly more than babies. Swiftly it struck with a deadly result—without warning, and there was no sure way to combat it. Then came antitoxin. Children who received this treatment at once enjoyed a better chance in their struggle for life, and as a result the diphtheria death rate was lowered. Antitoxin is effective only after diph-theria develops. It checks the progress of the disease, but it does not give lasting protection. Now comes a great triumph of medical science—the prevention of diphtherial Today, eminent specialists state posi-tively and definitely that through modern preventive treatment diphtheria can be stamped out! Some children are able to resist the germs of diphtheria. Others are not. This treatment consists of three in-jections of toxin-antitoxin, one injection each week for a period of three weeks. Authorities agree that the toxin-anti-toxin treatment makes the child immune. Experience shows tha t the test and the treatments are painless and harmless. If you love your children, and you do, of course—make them safe. Protect them from this deadly scourge by means of the toxin-antitoxin treatment. Paren ts are urged to take advantage of the free treatment given at the Red Cross rooms. Parents must obtain slips from Miss Elizabeth High, the community nurse, for the free treatments will be given only to those children whose parents have given their written consent. I'ree treat-ment will be given only to children from 6 months up to and including 6 years. Children 7 years and over will be charged 30 cents for the three treatments. Diphtheria is especially prevalent at this time of Hie year. Don't neglect this important matter, now is the time to see Miss High. Diphtheria is caused by a germ that lodges in the throat, and later forma a membrane. It is extremely contageous. Thirty years ago, 115 out of every 100.- 000 persons died of diphtheria each year. In recent years, the number has been reduced to If) out of every 100,000 deaths. But even at this low figure there are more than 15,(M X) deaths from diphtheria an-nuall y in the United States. In Novemlxir , 1923, the first treatments were given nl the Hershey Red Cross rooms, at which time more than 100 child-ren were immunized, and this number has greatly increased since that time. All parents Interested In these Innova-tions should secure and sign slips indicating their willingness to have their children so tr eated on or before Monday , Feb. 16th. The Innoculalions will Ixs administered at the Red Cross Uixims.

Full Text | Fast Team After Travelers Scalp on Frida y Evening On Friday evening the fast basketball quintet representing the Scranton Lace Company, of Scranton, will be the attrac-tion at the Hershey-Men's Club, playing the Hershey Travelers. The game will be called at 8 o'clock. The admission will be 35 cents. The proceeds will be donated, to the treasury of the 1925 Hershey baseball team. The Scranton basketball team have a string of victories to their credit and will make the Travelers step a leg to win the victory. The Scranton team is composed of young men about 20 years old, and are employed by the Scranton Lace Company. In pursuance of that company's policy, as a reward for splendid services rendered , annual outings are arranged , and this year Hershey was chosen. Let's pack the gymnasium on Friday evening and give the boys from Scranton a royal welcome. We'll see a good game, and we'll help fatten the treasury of the boys who hope to "hit them where they ain't", when the blue birds warble in Hershey Park this Summer. See the Total Eclipse at Hershe y Central Theatre Tonight As an added feature on Thursday (to-night) at the Hershey Central Theatre Fox News will show pictures taken during the recent total eclipse of the sun.

Leading scientists co-operated with the new's cameramen to produce complete, accurate and beautiful pictures of this most rare of celestial phenomena. Cameramen were sent above the clouds in aeroplanes in order to make striking photos. The results attained were marvelous, astounding and awe-inspiring. Don't fail to see this picture—an oppor-tunity of a life time. See how the sun's corona looks from the air! See the skyline of New York growing darker and darker! See what the people and animals did when the moon blotted out the rays of the sun! See how famous astronomers worked during the eclipse! See how the eclipse was caused!

Ad-mission, CO cents, Dauphin county has a county tax ot d mills, York county n county lax of 8 mills, while Lancaster county gets along nicely on« 2-mllltax. Ernest Torrence Featured in "The Side Show of Life Film fans will be more than interested in the announcement that the Herbert Brenon Paramount production of "The Side Show of Life" will be shown at the Hershey Central Theatre on Thursday (tonight), Feb^Sth, at 7.30 o'clock. The picture is an adaptation of William J. Locke's justly- famous novel, "The Mountebank," and Ernest Torrence, fea-tured with Anna Q. Nilsson in the pro-duction, has the principal role. Having a reputation for truth we cannot truthfully say that when William J. Locke wrote his famous novel "The Mounte-bank," from which the screenplay was adapted, he had Torrence in mind for the title role, but it s dollars to doughnuts that he could not have written a part more suited to Torrence's talent and tempera-ment if he had! The story of the clown who joins the army as a private during the war, rises to the rank of brigadier-general and finds himself at demobilization in love with a titled English woman, but after all, just a clown—can you just picture Tor-rence in such a role? Every bit of the comedy and pathos that has made so many thousands of people laugh and cry over the book has been put on the screen with all the mastery of Herbert Brenon. Better see this one! Campaign For More Clean Milk Twenty Dauphin County farmers and dairymen are pioneers in a campaign to produce more clean milk in Dauphin County. In co-operation with the Bureau of Animal Husbandry of the State De-partment of Agriculture, the Dauphin County Agricultural Extension Association is directing the campaign through securing tuberculin testing of dairy herds. The importance of the campaign is shown by the fact that 25 per cent, of tuberculosis in humans is contracted thru milk from diseased cattle. Bovine tuber-culosis is transferred to children under ten years of age during the period when milk consumption is greatest and the ability to withstand the disease is least. The following individuals have enlisted in the campaign for cleaner milk: Isaac Arms, Dauphin, R. D. 2; Bonnymead Farms, Harrisburg; J. M. Boyer, Lykens, R. D. 1; Aaron Erdman, Elizabethville, R. D. 1; Charles Hartman, Gratz ; Hein-baugh Brothers and Philip Miller, Millers-burg; R. S. Heisey, Bachmansville; Frank iCitchen, Halifax, R. D. 2; David W.

With Purcell and Tinney rolling them in from all corners of the floor the Myerstown seemed dazed and never had a chance.

The second half was a repetition of the first , with the Store team trailing along and giving very little oppo-sition to the fast going mill team. The league is going along strong and runnlnc smoothly with the Wrappin g Room still clinging on to the lead and the Planing Mill strong contenders of championship honors. STORE PLANI NG MILL V.

Slesser, District President, presiding. There were several hundred delegates in attendance. The address, "The Bible in the Sunday School", by ProL Ralph Schlosser, dean of Elizabethtown College, was inspirational, as was the address, "The Aims of Christian Education", by Rev. Paul M. Kinports, pastor of Holy Trinity Lutheran Church, of this place. The choir of the First U. B. Church rendered several anthems. Praise the Lord, Ye Heavens" and "Ivory Palaces" in a most pleasing manner.

Travelers Nosed Out by Two Points On Wednesday evening, Jan. 28th, the Berks team, of Lebanon, defeated the Hershey Travelers by the score of 29 to 31, in the most sensational game played on the Men's Club floor this season. It was a nip and tuck affair throughout, first one and then the other team being in the lead. At no time during the entire game were the teams separated by more than four points. From the first tip off the fans were on their feet cheering the sensational shots of both teams, the excitement be-coming more intense as the game pro-gressed. With one minute to play the Lebanonians were leading by one point. A foul was called on the Travelers which their opponents converted into a point. The Travelers then tried long shots but were unable to come across with the winn-ing marker. At half time, Benny Reigle and Sam Curry indulged in a most interesting scrap, which was stopped in the second round, when one of the laces on Curry's glove cut "Benny " on the bridge of the nose. Benny was game and continued to fight in spite of the flow of blood, but ref-eree Douglass very wisely decided to stop the bout so that Reigle could receive medical attention.

WHAT'S THE MATTER WITH THE BUSY MEN In the office of the Hershey Men 's Club is displayed a large schedule showing the hours for exercise devoted to the various classes of the club. It is here noted that the "Busy Men's Class" meets every Tuesday and Friday evening from 5.30 to 7.30. So far this year this class has been conspicuous by its absence. "What 's the matt er with the Busy Mcii. " In past years thi s class was the most active of any in th e Club. Seems as though they need a leader to get them started and out of the rut of inactivity. "Let 's get out and get the ball a rollin g as we did when "Able" Cowan was with us. " MIDGET CLASS MAKES RAPID PROGRESS The Midget Class at the Men's Club is still growing but there are still a lot of youngsters around town that don 't know what they are missing by not taking ad-vantage of the opixirlunitics offered at the Club.

J ll »i H % II ¦% «-^*»^ti ^n-^ii^fcii^^ tl ^.H ¦*¦!f ^ m «^| As this is our maiden appearance in the capacity of a columnist, we think it best to introduce ourselves to the readers of the Hershey Press. We are'/'The Smoke Stack." Which one? The smokiest one, of course. We were pretty cheeky to choose such an elevated name. The smoke stack is one of the most elevated subjects of the town. We shall have to burn, we fear, a great deal of midnight oil to live up to our lofty appellation, but we hope that, in one respect at least , this cloumn will prove to be a real smoke stack. We hope it will have HERSHEY written all over it. . Now if you will imagine someone break-ing a bottle of Cocoa Milk over "The Smoke Stack," thereby christening it, we shall consider it named and ready to take up its functions (if it has any) in our town. We will now be favored with a song and dance by the Neapolitan Quartet entitled, "I Saw Her First in Hershey." I saw her first in Hershey Store, She was a comely lass, And all the girls I 'd seen before Weren't even in her class. She beat them all in ev'ry weigh, Then, too, her thoughts had weight, The scales revealed when she weighed in Two hundred thirty-eight. She looked at us so sauer kraut, And tears were in her eyes, I guess I'll diet me," she quoth, ' And take some exercise. Alas! alass had made resolve To diet and get thin, Divide her waist by three and to Erase her double chin. She did her daily doesn't while She ate her mayonnaise. She kept the treatment up they say, For six or seven days. But she is eating onions now And other solid food , For she declares her sacrifice Did not a bit of good. So far this year the girl in the galoshes has not complained about not getting her money's worth out of her zippers. A chicken com soup dinner needs no orchestra. The diners drinking soup would drown it out anyway. Jack Dempsey has been matched with Estelle Taylor. They say this will be his first enlistment in the war. Benney Reigle, take warning! Don't get matched for more than six rounds, and let the marriage ring alone. Mr. Consumer of Electric Light, you say that your electric bills are running higher than ever before. Out in Chicago they assign a reason for increased electnc bills. They say, blame the radio and the cross-word puzzle, the radio because it uses current when it is recharged, the cross-word puzzle because everyone goes by himself to work out a solution and to beat the rest of the family. This keeps more lights in use. Then too, with so much entertainment in the home more and more people are becoming stay-at- homes and are keeping the home fires , and the home lights, burning. Elmer Hadden, aged eight, of Battle Creek, Mich., robbed a bank and was caught by the police in an attempt to set fire to a theatre. "Whattle we do", the cops wanted to know. "Oh, give me a good talking to and let me go," said Elmer. Now, now Elmer, you mustn 't do that. It 's naughty to rob banks and burn down theatres unless you have a membership card in the Burglar's Guild , and belong to the Arson Trust. Run along home and help mother. The other day a drummer entered the Department Store during the noon rush , and, while he was waiting to see his man, he let fall a bit of talk which it seems bears repeating. "Do you know," he said "lots of fellows are inclined to knock a town like 1 Iershey and say it is a dead hole. They think because the pool rooms and the burlesque shows are not running overtime, and he-cause the streets arc not full of loafers, that life in such a place would be unlivable. But , believe me, brother , this is just the kind of a town I like. Ever yone here has a job, there is little discontent and crime, there is lots of money, and consequently, from such a community, I am able to send in big orders to my firm. "They also serve who only stand and wait. " Thus wrote John Milton , the Puritan poet. But most people, after waiting about so long for something to turn up, lose faith in this great truth and start rustlin g for a job. Last Friday morning, when the trolleys were out of the running, the line of workers, advancing In single file from the passenger sta tion to the factory, resembled a movie of the Klondike gold rush.

In his various books of his early life the beloved Colonel often spoke of the Paradise of the West, where he had trailed bear and bison in their native haunts. Tom Mix, who fought with Roosevelt's troops in the Spanish-American war, idolized the celebrated leader of the Rough Riders and in later years was an ardent reader of the Colonel s books of the West. When William Fox decided to make a motion picture from Clarence E. Mulford's novel, "The Orphan," to be called "The Deadwood Coach," he immediately noti-fied Mix. The latter already had read the story and realized that here was an opportunity to stage a picture in the actual locations so highly praised by Colonel Roosevelt. In the past all so-called "Western" screen plays were made in California and the public now recognizes most of the "select" locations the moment they are flashed on the silver sheet. This was another reason Tom Mix desired to stage "The Deadwood Coach" in the actual locations described by the author. As a result, the entire company, includ-ing supporting players the director , techni-cal directors, cameramen and studio workers traveled to the Bad Lands to make the exteriors. The result is a triumph of picturesque photography. Everything that the beloved T. R. ever said about the beauty of the Dakota Bad Lands is vis-ualized. All the action takes place in the midst of the gorgeous scenery of the Bad Lands and it is probable that never before has this country been used as a location for a motion picture. Doris May is seen opposite Mix in "The Deadwood Coach," which was directed by Lynn Reynolds. " It will be given its initial local presentation at the Hershey Central Theatre on Tuesday evening, Feb. 10th, at 7.30 o'clock. Miss Ruth Esbenshade Molds Huge Sphinx Miss Ruth Esbenshade took advantage of the old-fashioned winter now prevailing, and with a shovel, skillful hands and with an inborn knowledge of sculpturing, she fashioned a huge Sphinx upon the expan-sive lawn (now piled with snow) in front of her home on East Granada Avenue. The Sphinx is not quite as massive as that of the Egyptian Sphinx at Gizah, but is of huge dimensions nevertheless, and its contour and features are true in every detail. The reason that Miss Esbenshade choose a Sphinx to show the mastery of her un-errin g skill is due to the fact that it is an emblem of her class at Mt. Holyoke Col-lege. A Sphinx, in ancientGreek legend, was a monster, which appeared in Boeotia, and killed all the inhabitants who could not solve a riddle which she propounded to them. The riddle was "What animal is it that has four feet, and two feet, and three feet , and only one voice; yet its feet vary, and when it has most it is weakest?" Oedipus answered rightly, "Man; for he crawls on all fours as an infant, and in old age moves on his feet and a staff." Upon this the Sphinx slew herself. The idea of the Sphinx came to Greece, no doubt, from Egypt. But in Egypt the Sphinx is represented as a lion without wings, with a human head; while the Greek Sphinx is a winged lion with a woman's head. Hershe y Beats Annville on Own Floor Staging a strong comeback in the second period , the Hershey High School basket-ball tossers, showed their bitter rivals , Annville High how the game was played on last Friday evening at Annville , defeating them decisively by the score of 59 to IK.

Boy Scouts Pro pose Campaign Against Indecent Magazines There is nothing prudish about the proposed Boy Scout campaign against the mcreasing output of magazines that reek with indecent stories ana pictures. It is a common-sense move to stem a corrupting influence which oozes from many news-stands and injects its filth largely into the minds of boys and girls, young men and women. From cheap, pocket-size publi-cations which deal openly in dirt and can be carried in school books, to pretentious monthlies purveying guise of revealing "real" life, such literature is flooding youthful minds, not only with immoral suggestiveness, but with such putridity as should make its manufacturers and pur-veyors easy to convict under existing federal laws. Compared to these foul periodicals, the once-scorned Police Gazette might be credited to the Purity League. There are at least thirty of them, according to Frank-lin K. Matthews, chief librarian of the Boy Scouts of America, and one vile brood of six or seven issues from a single source—a faddist who caters to sex impulses under pretense of protecting youth from the pitfalls of life. Of course, these panderers have been emboldened to overstep all bounds of decency by the lascivious trend of more pretentious literature during the last decade, and the state of the stage and movies. But this does not justify the poisoning of young minds thru mediums cheap to secure and easy to secrete. Nor does it lighten the blame on law officers who wink at their existence. To permit circulation of such perverted literature as flows freely thru these channels is so dangerous that no effort should be spared to check the flood. The movement started by the Scouts should be heartily joined by every father and mother and every person who appreciates the value of reasonably clean minds in the youth of the land. F. B. Snavely Placed on the Honor Roll The Hershey Volunteer Fire Company held its regular monthly meeting on Tues-day evening, with the following members present: John C. Hershey, Geo. Schroll, Joe Brewer, Geo. Feeser, Oliver Keck, Paul Shoop, Sam'l Johnstin , Paul Seavers, Herman Seavers, Ira Gibble, A. W. Flow-ers, Wm. Freymeyer, Jerome Hostetter, Oliver Hetrick, Dan Mowrer, Roy Stern-berger, David Rittle, Paul Zentmeyer, John H. Gordon, Irvin Uhler and Harry Imboden. The following new members were elected: Clyde Ebersole, Calvin Reich, Chester Swartz, Victor Smith, Chas. Copenhaver and Berlin Ensweiler. A communication was read from F. B. Snavely, one of the organizers of the Fire Company, to the effect that inasmuch as he had moved "on the farm" and was quite some distance from Hershey, altho he could hear the siren and see the smoke-stacks, he concluded to hand in his resig-nation, letting the younger men carry on. Mr. Snavely's resignation was accepted , and his name was placed upon the Honor Roll. It was decided that a new house com-mittee be appointed, and President Paul Shoop appointed the following members to act in that capacity : J. R. Kreider, Geo. Schroll, Samuel Johnstin, Wm. Brinker and Geo. Feeser. The amendment to the Constitution and By-Laws, permitting any man over 18 years to join the organization , was carried. Hershe yites Interview Brer Groundho g Out into the stubble fields, across the icy wastes, Roy Lloyd , "Pabst " Zent-meyer, Wm. Gelling and Bill Curtis fared forth on Groundhog Day'that to obtain inf ormation from Brer Groundhog himself. The rain dripped down thru the bare branches. The ground was soggy, when it wasn 't mucky with rusty snow. The rain dri ppeil down the necks of these stal-wart Hersheyites. But , they won, altho their quest was much delayed . Tripping with a certain quaint manner came a small , dark , furr y form. A squeaky voice reached the ears of our ra pt observers, v \ "How much wixjd would a woodchuck chuck ; "Oh, how much wixxl would a woodchuck chuck ; "Aye, how much wood would— " "Fe, fi , fo, fum, I smell the blood of a Dutchman ", said the groundhog, in ter-rupting himself , "what do you want out here on Joe Clark's farm , do you want to scare bis rabbits?" "Please, sir " - said they, we want to in terview you tdxmt Groundhog day " "Grea t squeaking /.alamdodongsl" said the ground hog, "are you fellows tit it again. " '"Ihis Is F ebruary 2 ' , explained Wm. Curtis, and - "Yeah , I know Groundhog Day" and a West Virginian like you out to know belter than coining 'way out here to pester me about such st uff. ' "Now look here", continu ed the Ground-hog, getting all wrought up. "You fellows have to quit putting me in the class with goosclxmo weather prophets. I don 't monkey with the weather , In fact , I don 't know nitything about the weather. Get that I "You humans give me a terrible laugh. Some of you would believe anything. I'll bet thousands of folk will figure that because today is cloudy and I can't see my 'shadow ', an early spring is on the way. Just as the y would believe we were in for a long winter If I had 'come out ' today and found the sun shillin g. "I come out when I come out; that 's when I come out. I just use my noodle. I come out and get something to eat, And I go back and take a good snooze, and mind my own business and keep on I of trouble. "But look at you hunians, You have scientist s who can tell when thu moon is going to be nl n certain place at u certain time. You hav e automobiles, fast trains, airplanes, electricity, chocolate and com-forts and luxuries without number. "And if the nun had been shining today n lot of you would be saying, 'Whlrrii , whirra ,' or words to that effect , and order-in g more coal, And you pay men to fi gure out the weather for you. "Gwnn buck to your chocolate factory and continue to make gixxl chocolate and t ell Ed. Lewis to put in the Hershey Press that I said 'Wlint fools these, mortals be.' I' ve been out iiiul I' m going buck, and I' ve got n lot more sense than you have. It-emise I know enough to get In out of this wet ," The squeaky lit tie song died away In the afternoon gloom of the dim , dark forest: "If a woodchuck could chuck wood!" Jackie Coogan in "A Boy of Flanders " Saturda y Evening Jackie Coogan as a Iittie Belgian boy with baggy trousers, funny little cap, great, clumsy, clattering wooden shoes and patched jacket with large buttons, of assorted shapes and sizes—Jackie Coogan as little NeUo, the immortal hero of Ouioa's story, will be seen at the Hershey Central Theatre on Saturday evening, Fee. 7th, at 6.30 o'clock and b.30 o'clock. Another triumph is scored by this mysteriously gated child in a story as duterent Irom "Long Live the King" as the latter is different irom "Oliver Twist." Jackie's medium in this, his second Metro picture, is "A Boy of Flanders," adapted Irom Ouida's story, "A Dog of Flanders," and the adaptation has been made with the greatest skill. The story is reproduced on the screen with a fidelity rarely to be observed and not a single episode of significance, drama, comeay, pathos or thrill is missing. While the cumax, in the snow-storm that sweeps over Flanders fields and buries the Cathe-dral steps at Antwerp in a deep cover, is one of the most poignant and appealing that has ever been screened. Never has Jackie appeared more effec-tively, and it is safe to say that in "A Boy of Flanders" he touches tragic heights never before revealed in any JacKie Coogan picture, while the comedy touches and numor of which his art is capable, are abundantly provided throughout the entire story. His audience is moved through strata of smiles and tears, laughter and thrills,, merriment and suspense. All the implications found in Ouida's too-short story have been developed into the flowering of a great drama, and only in an adjustment of the closing episodes is there the slightest departure from the original— and who could bear to see "A Boy of Flanders" if the hero should die out in the cold and the snow with his dead compan-ion, the noble-hearted dog Petrasche as his only solace? Such an ending would be too harrowing. As it is, the hearts of all who see this picture are sufficiently wrung and there is a sigh of relief and then the joy of a great delight when—but you must see "A Boy of Flanders" for yourself. It is like fine music—it cannot be described. It is played with strokes that words cannot define nor explain. It is Jackie at his best, and it will add even to the fame that is already his. Victor Schertzinger's direction of the picture brings out the genius of the gifted boy while the supervision of details as cared for by Jackie Coogan, Sr., discloses him as one of the most effective producers in the motion picture industry. Free Toxin-Antit oxin Treatments at Hershey Not so many years ago diphtheria was the black enemy of childhood. All over the world it claimed a frightful toil. And the tragedy was that three-quarters of its victims were little tots under six—hardly more than babies. Swiftly it struck with a deadly result—without warning, and there was no sure way to combat it. Then came antitoxin. Children who received this treatment at once enjoyed a better chance in their struggle for life, and as a result the diphtheria death rate was lowered. Antitoxin is effective only after diph-theria develops. It checks the progress of the disease, but it does not give lasting protection. Now comes a great triumph of medical science—the prevention of diphtherial Today, eminent specialists state posi-tively and definitely that through modern preventive treatment diphtheria can be stamped out! Some children are able to resist the germs of diphtheria. Others are not. This treatment consists of three in-jections of toxin-antitoxin, one injection each week for a period of three weeks. Authorities agree that the toxin-anti-toxin treatment makes the child immune. Experience shows tha t the test and the treatments are painless and harmless. If you love your children, and you do, of course—make them safe. Protect them from this deadly scourge by means of the toxin-antitoxin treatment. Paren ts are urged to take advantage of the free treatment given at the Red Cross rooms. Parents must obtain slips from Miss Elizabeth High, the community nurse, for the free treatments will be given only to those children whose parents have given their written consent. I'ree treat-ment will be given only to children from 6 months up to and including 6 years. Children 7 years and over will be charged 30 cents for the three treatments. Diphtheria is especially prevalent at this time of Hie year. Don't neglect this important matter, now is the time to see Miss High. Diphtheria is caused by a germ that lodges in the throat, and later forma a membrane. It is extremely contageous. Thirty years ago, 115 out of every 100.- 000 persons died of diphtheria each year. In recent years, the number has been reduced to If) out of every 100,000 deaths. But even at this low figure there are more than 15,(M X) deaths from diphtheria an-nuall y in the United States. In Novemlxir , 1923, the first treatments were given nl the Hershey Red Cross rooms, at which time more than 100 child-ren were immunized, and this number has greatly increased since that time. All parents Interested In these Innova-tions should secure and sign slips indicating their willingness to have their children so tr eated on or before Monday , Feb. 16th. The Innoculalions will Ixs administered at the Red Cross Uixims.
