              Don't Miss Seeing
"Hershe y Follies"
Next Week
The "Hershey Follies"j of which there is
considerable comment, will make its bow
for public approval at the Hershey Park
Theatre on Thursday and Friday evenings;
Oct. 8th and 9th, at 8 o'clock.
. The "Hershey Follies!' can probably
better be described as an eveningof good,
clean entertainment, with a riot of laughter
from the rising, of the curtain until the.
grand finale.
The program includes, among other
things, an acrobatic act of six skilled
athletes; a_quartette of dwarfs, all of them
possessing good singing voices; a dance by
Miss Dinah Snow, a young negro girl from
Birmingham, Alabama, who will demon-strate
how the "Charleston", an old time
negro dance which is being danced all ova
the country at present, should be pre-sented;
a new song and dance by little
Vera Miller, who recently appeared at the.
Rialto Theatre, in Washington, D. C, and
made a tremenduous hit. She will also be
there with "Her Hicks." There will be a
real trained rooster, one with a real up-to-the-
minute education, which, with his
trainer, has been brought to Hershey at no
little expense. This is an act worth going
miles to witness. The Merrymakers, ol
Lebanon, which is Central Pennsylvania's
Premier Orchestra, have been engaged for
the two evenings, and in addition to ac-companying
the various acts, they will
present a musical act of their own. These
men have earned for themselves a fixed
place among the leading dance orchestras
and entertainers and Hershey is fortunate
in-securing their services. This feature
alone should be the biggest reason why
every person in Hershey and the sur-rounding
country should be in theaudience
either one of the two evenings. Then
there is a newcomer—Mary Deppen—who
will give an Indian Dance. Miss Deppen
is a resident of Hershey and while she has
appeared with other groups of dancers at
various times, this will be her first ap-pearance
as a solo dancer and great things
are expected of her. There is also included
in the program* battle royal by the Roman
Gladiators, a new form of entertainment
showing the skill and strength of the
modem exponents of physical culture; and
then, as the closing number of the eve-ning's
entertainment—there will be "The
Bathing Beauty Contest"—It is the cat's
meow!
The dancing numbers of the "Follies"
will be under the direction of Miss Ethelyn
Storey.
The "Hershey Follies" is being presented
by and for the benefit of the Hershey Red
Cross. The people of Hershey by patroni-zing
the "Follies" will eliminate the ne-cessity
of a house to house canvass or drive,
which has been customary in the past.
The "Hershey Follies" is one of the
biggest theatrical treats ever staged in
Hershey, and the price of tickets, 50c and
75c, is most reasonable. The Hershey
Park Theatre should be taxed to its utmost
capacity on both evenings, and judging
from the advance sale of the tickets, which
are going like hot cakes, it looks like such
will be the case.
Don't put off tomorrow what you can do
today—buy your tickets NOW!
First Boy and Girl
Part y at Y. W. C. A.
Tuesda y Evening
On Tuesday evening, Sept. 29th, the
"Tri-Y Club'* of the Girl Reserves, an
organization formed by girls from the
Hershey High School, gave the "First Boy
and Girl Party " at the Y. W. C. A.
The spacious hall was aglow with myrid
of lights, subdued with ribbons of gold and
blue. In fact , ribbons of these colors
dangled from every nook and corner
forming a most attractive and eye-appeal-ing
effect. In the centre of the hall huge
letters forming the words "Tri-Y Club"
stood out in a most conspicuous manner.
To Edison Rice, a student of the Hershey
High School, with the assistance of the
young ladies of the Club, must be given the
credit for the decorative scheme.
After some little time playing the new
game "Bunco", which is played with dice,
four persons.to a table, the young people
wended their way to the rear part of the
hall to the dining tables, which were ar-ranged
in the form of the letter "H", and ,
as in the fore part of the hall , the decora-tivescheme,
gold and blue, was adhered to.
On the tables were numerous bouquets of
marigolds and zinnias. At each plate was
a hand-painted place card each one differ-,
cnt, a most original and artistic design-made
by the girls of the Club.
The toastmistrcss was Miss Helen
Schmidt. Miss Dorothy Hill , who is ad-viser
of the Club, gave the welcome greet-ing.
Lois Gilman read the propiiecy.
Isabclle Miller gave a toe dance, with
Ruth Bernard as accompanist . Then
followed a number of Club songs, and yd lb

salad, wafer, ice cream, mints, stilted
almonds and grape juice.

Tom Mix is Seen
as Don Juan in
'lucky Hors eshoe"
Tom Mix departs from the usual western
picture in his latest William Fox produc-tion,
"The Lucky Horseshoe," directed by
J. G. Blystone, which will be shown at
Hershey Central Theatre on Tuesday
evening, Oct. 6th, at 7.30 o'clock. For in
this film, which starts out as a regular
western, Tom appears for much of the
picture as Don Juan, Spanish cavalier and
lady-killer.
The cause of Tom's strange transition
is a dream that comes about a third of the
way through the picture. All through the
dream Tom, as Don Juan, and J. Farrell
MacDonald, as Pancho, his retainer, go
through heroic feats of arms in behalf of
Bilhe Dove, who is Lady Isabel, the fairest
daughter of old Spain.
The Spanish scenes permit Tom and his
company to appear in gaudy and lavish
costumes, while the settings' form a most
surprising contrast to the scenes in the
western sequences that form the first and
last parts of the picture.
Tom Mix makes a dashing Don Juan ,
indeed and it is no wonder that the fair
maidens of MSdrid and Barcelona and
Seville all vied for his smile—especially
when he came to judge the beauty contest!
In the supporting cast are seen Ann
Pennington, Malcolm Waite, Clarissa
Selwyn and J. Gunnis Davis.

The Angler
Twisting like an angleworm half on a hook,
Meandering along somehow by .hook or
crook,
The Oolalay River flows—they call it a
river,—
Yet really, to be candid, it is only a brook.
Tanneries upstream somewhere dump
poison in, •
The stream is minus any kind of gill or fin,
A watery desert, void of those water
creatures
Concerning whose proportions we may lie
without sin.
Ebeneezer Hollenback isn't just right.
Some forty-seven years ago he had a fight ,
Twas up m the lumber woods where
somebody crowned him,
A little harder wallop would have put out
his light.
Ebeneezer Hollenback every clear day
Goes out and tries the fishing in the Oola-lay,
He never brings home more than the
stuff he takes with him,
He doesn't bring home as much, he throws
his bait away.
Ebeneezer Hollenback isn't just right,
But just the same he put one over Old
Zeb White,
Zeb said, "what ye fishin' for?" Ebeneej
zer told him,
"I'm fishin' for a sucker, and I've goH; a
bite."
The Girl in the Galoshes will soon be
with us again.
Well, says Old Man Tate of Skunks
Corners, me and Lige Dibble together
know it all, yes sir, the whole darn shootin '
match, and passel of information , Lige
allows he knows it all. And I reckon he
does. Knows everything, that is, but that
he is a darn fool, and I know that. So
both together we take in the whole sum of
knowledge.
A cold is like an education . No matter
how much education a fellow has, passing
it on to someone else doesn't lessen his
knowledge any. Same way with a cold.
No matter how many the people to whom
you pass on your cold, still your generosity
doesn't lessen your treasure the slightest.

Going Out March
Sometime, somewhere, in our checkered
career, we played fifth second fiddle in
Doctor Umpta's orchestra. Dr. Umpta
was a typical orchestra leader with a long
pompadour that shook every which way as
a sort of supplement to the movement of
his. baton. The Doctor's orchestra always
played as the student's filed into chapel;
then again as they marched out. Often
the chapel program was sandwiched with
a few special musical selections. But
always, without fail, when the Bible had
been read, the announcement had been
made, the songs had been sung, and the
special selections, if any, had been played,
Dr. Umpta would raise his baton and say,
"Going Out March." Then we would
strike into "Semper Fidelis" or "Stars and
Stripes Forever", and by the time everyone
was out of chapel, the Doctor's hair would
be sticking out in all directions.
The Doctor took sick last winter so they
tell us, pneumonia , we think it was. The
o'.her doctors shook their heads and said
he had a slim chance of pulling through.
The Doctor didn't take his chance. One
morning, they say, he sat bolt upright in
bed, and holding an imaginary baton said,
"Going Out March." It was a touching
sight indeed to see the old fellow vary the
tempo, and to see that trick pompadour of
his supplement the movement of his
imaginary baton. His face was alight
with his best smile, and so realistic was the
scene that those at the bedside swear they
heard the music as plain as ever they had
in the chapel. As the orchestra swung into
the home stretch , the rhythmic movement
o'. the conductor 's baton ceased. Doctor
Umpta had conducted his last march.
Rather an appropriate way of passing
out , wasn 't it? If we were a real poet, and
went in for the tragic, what material for a
great poem! But here we are, only an
humble smokestacker, a more or less
funny-bone tickler. So why should we be
presuming enough to go in for any kind of
verse deeper than the waters of the Oola-lay
River?

"The Air Mair
Paramount Film
Saturda y Evening
The once little thought of air mail, now
pioneering the way in commercial aviation
and demonstrating that it is practicable to
operate cargo carrying planes on schedule
time over vast distances, day arid night,
winter and summer, becomes a screen
thriller at the Hershey Central Theatre on
Saturday evening, Oct. 3d, at 6.30 and
8.30 o'clock, in Paramount's "The Air
Mail," produced by Irvin Willat from the
original screen story by Byron Morgan,
who wrote "Code of the Sea" and others.
Warner Baxter, Billie Dove, Mary Brian
and Douglas Fairbanks, Jr., have featured
roles in the production, adapted for the
screen by James Shelley Hamilton.
We can't imagine anything more fasci-nating
or thrilling than the pictured flights
of the fearless air mailmen as they "carry
on" in all kinds of weather to bring the
mail through on schedule time—some even
going so far as to give their lives in the ser-vice.
The picture has to do with Warner Bax-ter,
in the role of Russ Kane, master-mind
crook who becomes a mail pilot to rob the
planes and winds up by routing his former
cronies and marrying a beautiful girl.
Scenes of the picture take place at Sacre-mento
and Reno, two big stations along the
air route and in a "deserted city" where
Billie Dove and her father, victims of a
poor real estate deal, live. Kane is forced
down near Billie's home during a storm.
He meets her, and from then on they are
the very best of friends.
. Later, Kane is "winged" by two bandit
planes and vol-planes to earth on the
desert, where with Billie Dove and Fair-banks,
Jr., he gives the crooks the fight of
their lives. The picture comes to a close
with the arrival of a sheriff's posse and
capture of the thieves.
Playing in support of the leading players
in the picture are George Irving, Guy
Oliver, Dick Tucker, Lee Shumway and
others.

President Sternber ger
States That There is
Good Sport Ahead
President Roy. Sternberger of the Leba-non
Valley Fish and Game Protective
Association, states that .hunters through-put
Pennsylvania are preparing to take to
the woods October 1 when the season for
raccoon, woodcock and wild ducks and
geese will open. Raccoon and water fowl
may be hunted until January 15, but the
woodcock season will close November 30.
'Coon hunting promises this year to be
one of the most popular sports of the fall
season. In recent years an increasing
number of hunters have been taking it up
and the raccoon bag has been growing.
Under the hunting laws a raccoon which
seeks refuge in a hollow tree is safe for. it
may neither be smoked out nor the tree cut
down. However, if the animal is found in
a sound tree, it may be "shined" with a
light and brought down with a revolver or
rifle or shaken from its perch, in which case
a battle royal usually develops between
the raccoon and the treeing dogs.
Woodcock also offer the sportsmen a
good test of skill due to their erratic man-ner
of flight . The season's bag is limited
to twenty birds and it is declared that it
takes an expert shot to obtain anything
like that number. The wild geese are
more limited in number than the ducks
and like the woodcock they make good
shooting. The blackbird season has been
on for several weeks and already hundreds
of birds have been reported killed in this
part of the State.
Blue Trian gle Club
to Hold Initiati on
Service Sunda y
Next Sunday afternoon at three jQiclock.
there will be held a service at which time
the members of the Blue Triangle Club,
who have learned the Girl Reserve code,
slogan and purpose, and have earned 15
honors, will be initiated. This is a very
beautiful and impressive service and all
friends of the girls, all church members
and, in fact, anyone in town, who is in-terested
to know what the Girl Reserve
clubs are doing, are most cordially invited
to attend this service. This includes men
as well as women.
Late Saturday afternoon Grace Lloyd,
president of the Tri-Y Club, Louise Shay,
chairman of the program committee, and
Miss Gurney went to Harrisburg, where
they met with the Girl Reserve secretary
of that Association, talked over plans for
the winter's program, which will be sub-mitted
to the club at their regular meeting
next Tuesday night. There are sixteen
members of this club now and they hope to
reach 35 in a very short time.

Fall Opening and
Fashion Review
The Hershey Department Stored will
hold its Fall Opening and Fashion Review,
with living models, on Thursday1,-Friday
and Saturday, Oct. 8th, 9th and. 10th,
featuring the newest ideas for the Fall and
Winter seasons. The review will take
place in the Fashion auditorium , 2d floor,
with two showings daily, afternoon at 2.30
and evening at 7.30. Music will be furn-ished
by Wecker's Imperial Orchestra.
At this season of the year, when so
many models are presented, when so many
conflicting statements are made, it is wise
to pause a moment and sift out if possible
the few important facts about the winter
clothes. Here are a few well-established
facts.
Hats are small. Skirts remain short-twelve
inches off the floor at least—
shoulders narrow, figures slim, and yet the
new feeling in cut is for increased fulness
in the skirts. Authorities differ as to its
olacing. It is in the back sometimes or on
the sides of coats. In dresses it rather
seeks the front. Almost invariably the
upper part of the dress or coat is closer
fitting, and usually sleeves are long, with
interesting cuffs, puffs and trimmings.
Shoes and stockings contrast, but har-monize,
and the silhouette appears slim,
but no longer scant.
The colors are rich and warm; many of
the new shades for street and daytime are
of wine colors—reddish brown, red violets
—and much green and blue are also seen.
The light brown will still be smart, but it
will "be a season of color; For evening
there is yellow-green, geranium red, gold,
silver and glitter.
As for the materials velvet and fur,
cloth and fur , tweeds and fur , brocades and
fur tell most of the story. All supple
beyond description. Sumptuous materials
are used for afternoon and evening, and
for sports, the finest of the rougher tweed
weaves trimmed with fur. Ensembles
persist, but the tendency is to make coat
and dress of different material or of care-fully
contrasted colors.
The sports clothes and simpler street
clothes are made of the tweed-like rough
materials. And though plaits and an
occasional flare are used, the fulness is for
ease of movement, as clothes of this type
remain straight in outline and feeling. The
ensemble is quite smart in sports clothes as
in those for the afternoon. With' the
advent of winter, fur comes in. This
season, all the flat tailored furs—many of
the less expensive variety, such as rabbit,
antelope, pony skin, muskrat—are used
effectively, and fur dyed in designs is to be
exceedingly popular.
Speaking of furs, too much stress cannot
be laid upon them as a fashion for the
winter. They are everywhere.
Fur coats will be worn as much as ever,
and though there will be straight ones,
those of this season will show a flare.
The annual scarf is used with a muff to
match. Yes, we have muffs with us
again, moderate in1 size and impartially
developed in round as well as square
models. . Perhaps the fact that fur was
disregarded for the summer has brought it
back with renewed force, for we find It on.
the new clothes not only in long shaTj?l
collars which reach the still.low waistline,
but used from collar to hem arid repeated
for cuffs.
The. waistline has persistently remained
at the hips. And this season, too, we find
it there, but with a tendency to be higher
at some one point. In other words, it no
longer goes straight around the figure, but
may be raised or dropped according to the
design of the dress.
Sleeves are assuming importance. For
day and street wear they are invariably
long, but not invariably tight , as many of
the new models show a puff at the wrist
above the cuff , which carries out a trim-ming
or some design of the dress. In
evening clothes they are as they have been
—conspicuous by this absence.
Never have gloves been as elaborate as
this year. No longer a detail they are
now an integral part of a woman's gown,
matching it in color, style and even design.
Gauntlets are in vogue this fall and will
be in vogue this winter. Opened under-neath
just enough to pass the hand , or
held close to the wrist by an elastic ribbon ,
they shape upward and outward in many
pleats which being embroidered or per-forated
, resemble more a lace or silk ruffle
than actual kid.
As For Poor Man
Men's trousers, after a flare for several
months, are beginning to come back to
normalcy. Last year a trouscr leg measured
twenty inches around the bottom. This
year they 've been toned down two Inches
and will measure only eighteen. Men of
an engenuous turn of mind will be figuring
how to put a two-inch tuck in their trousers
to be in the height of fashion. The white
knickers of summer have turned into
knickers of fancy wool for winter, very
lound , with hose equally loud to be in tune.
A loud necktie may complete the outfit.
Little boys are going to be little grown-up
men again , with long trousers, wide at
the bottom, the same as Dad's. They 'll
wear- knickers, too, when they want to,
and in just about everything imitate a
man of twenty or thirty .
Alumni Responding
to Appeal
About a week ago letters were sent out
from the office of the Supervising Principal
to the Alumni and friends of the School
requesting them to join the Athletic
Association. The idea of inviting alumni
to join the Athletic Association seems to
meet ready resiionKe from some of our loyal
graduates. Tlie first response came from
Carl I lughcs, n member of t)ie claBs of 1025.
He enclosed his check for two dollars and
said, "I am glad to belong to this organiza-t
ion ngain nnd hope you have a much
l-.u gcr membership than before. " The
second came from Elmer P. Swurtz another
alumnus loyal to every appeal. Harry R.
Wolforsbcrger , n member of the clas9 of
1021, writes us follows; "Enclosed you will
please find a check 'amounting to two
dollars for membership enrollment In the
High School Athletic Association. I am
sending my check for two reasons in gen-eral
, first , I believe it Ib the duty of every
alumnus to subscribe annually to his Alma
Mater , Becond, I have gone through the
'MILL' and know what hardships the high
Bchool students go through in order to
raise funds to carry on the athletic activi-ties.
"
Wo take the liberty to print these lotterB
to indicate to the rest of the alumni the
attitude that some of the alumni have
towards their high school. The result Is
very gratifying Indeed, and It Is hoped that
the responses will cohthrrip to come In ex-pressing
this name splendid loyalty, ¦

In order /that Hershey may not lag
behind in the observance of National Fire
Prevention Week, which starts-next Sun-day,
the Hershey Volunteer Fire Company
is bending every effort to make the annual
campaign against fire hazards a success in
Hershey and vicinity.
Paul Shoop, president of the Hershey
Volunteer Fire Company, wishes to call to
to our attention that last year we faced the
heaviest fire losses ever known in any
country in any period of the world's his
tory—$548,810,000—or upwards of $1044
a minute, and not much improvement is
being shown thus far in 1925. The in-crease
has been a steady one from year to
year and'the end is not yet, nor will it be
until we learn to act upon the truth that is
brought out every Fire Prevention Week—
that fully three-quarters of this annual
waste is due to carelessness or lack of
knowledge. Furthermore, when we add to
this enormous property destruction the
loss of life through the flames, a loss a-mouritinjj
to 15,000 persons yearly, and
the injuries from fire, we see at once, and
clearly, what our duty is.
In Hershey we have been most fortunate
during the past year, having but few fires,
and these through the efforts of the firemen
were soon extinguished.
However, we must ever be on the alert in
order to keep from suffering our share, and
to do this we must remove the causes of
fire; learn to build better and safer ; learn to
be heedful of our acts, big and little, which
lead to fire , and, finally, Team to recognize
and remove the causes.
Although the keeping of the week of
October 4'to 10 is a national affair in which
whole communities should take part, it is
at bottom a matter for individual action.
We have often heard the old saying:
'What's everybody's business is nobody's
business," so let's make Fire Prevention
Week a private matter and keep its lessons
by us throughout the year to come.
To this end let us observe these brief
rules for fire safety :
Watch disposal of matches and lighted
smoking materials: they are responsible
for a heavier annual loss than any other
known cause. Always keep matches out
of the reach of small children.
Use proper fuses in electrical circuits;
the fuse is the safety valve of the system
and should not be tampered with.
Turn off electric flatirons and other
electric devices while attending to some-thing
else.
Gasoline and other volatile liquids make
dangerous cleaning fluids; many safe com-pounds
are on the market, including carbon
tetrachloride, which is obtainable at any
drug store.
Defective chimneys and flues caused
about $2O,O00,CGO destruction last year;
keep them clean and in repair.
A gas leak should be hunted with a flash-light
instead of an open flame light ; to the
'suspected' part of the pipe apply soap
suds, which, in bubbling, will reveal the
leak.
Clean all smoke-pipes before the winter
comes on; clogged pipes overheat easily
and may start fire when' the furnace is
operated.
Walls, ceilings and partitions should be
shielded from overheating by stoves,
furnaces and connecting pipes. .
Hot ashes belong1 in- metal containers,
not in wooden boxes and barrels, -
Oil lamps or stoves are safely filled in
daylight.
Open fires always should be screened
when left untended.

Company to Observe
Fire Prevention Week
S. G. Stecher, cashier of the Hershey
National Bank, is attending the annual
convention of the American Bankers'
Association at Atlantic City this week.
Mr. Stecherstates thatitisthe concensus
of opinion of all bankers throughout the
country that business at present is good
and is going to be better in the future. •
The extension and continuance of our
prosperity can only be secured if we go
about our business with renewed effort,
coupled with all the efficiency, economy
and wisdom we can r \ ,er. The Ameri-can
people have the genius for organization
and this, with our great natural resources,
our industrial equipment and our financial
strength, gives us the assurance that the
future has much in store for us. Prosperi-ty
has often in the past led to overcon-fidence
and disaster. We have been abun-dantly
blessed; let us use our opportunities
prudently and gratefully.
