              Hershey To See 98 Per Cent
Eclipse Of the Son Saturda y
On Saturday morning, Jan. "24th, Her-shey
will be given its first opportunity to
see a ninety-eight per .cent, eclipse of the
sun.
For two minutes the town will be
plunged in twilight. The twilight, how-ever,
will be of a different hue than the
daily ones. It will either be orange, green
or purple, says John Hallgren, our local
authority.
Mr. Hallgren is an astronomer of quite
some ability, and had contemplated joining
the Harrisburg scientists, of which he is a
member, " on their trip to New Haven,
Conn., where the eclipse will be total, but
decided to make his observations here.
Mr. Hallgren states that the eclipse will
start at 7.57 a. m. and will reach its peak at
9.06 a. m. It will disappear by 10.24 a. m..
The shadow of the eclipse, it has been
estimated, travels slightly faster than
3000 miles an hour, so the eclipse will only
be total for two minutes. The nearest
point to this town which will see the total
eclipse is Scranton. Scrantop Towanda
and other towns in the northern portion
of the state are in the southern edge of the
eclipse.
In order to-see the phenomenon here it
will be necessary to use smoked glasses. A
piece of ordinary window glass can be
smoked and held over the eyes to view the
sun. A piece of brown bottle will also
serve the purpose.
Mr. Halgren explained that if he recalls
correctly there has not been a total eclipse
of the sun in this vicinity within the last
250 years. There are no records of eclipses
prior to that time.
Hershey will not be able to see the corona
but will be able to see the various colors of
the spectrum from 98 per cent, of the sun's
circumference. These colors may be
blended into any conceivable hue,, but in
all probability Hershey will only see a
bright orange, green or purple hue.
The strip of totality is about a hundred
miles wide and roughly speaking lies
between New York City and the southern
boundary of Massachusetts. It sweeps up
from the Atlantic Ocean and in an arc
passes through the upper edge of Northeast
Pennsylvania, takes in a goodly portion of
New York State and on up through Lake
Huron and Lake Erie into Canada. The
phenomenon will not happen again in this
part of the United States during the life-time
of any one now living.
Moon Passes Between
"The eclipse," said Mr. Halgren, "is
caused by the moon passing between the
earth and the sun. The moon, like the
earth, has no light of its own and shines
only because it reflects to us the light of the
sun which falls upon it, so when it comes
between us and the sun, the sun shines only
upon the side of the moon which is turned
away from us. The side toward us is dark
except for a little light reflected back to it
from the earth.
"The moon's shadow consists of two
parts, a cone touching the moon and
tapering to a point close to the earth's
surface within which all the light of the
sun is shut 6ut by the moon, and a part of
another cone also touching the moon and
increasing in sue toward the earth .
"The eclipse comes toward the observer
from the west at a rate of fifty miles a
minute, so fast that attempts to obtain a
moving picture of it have been unsuccessr
ful. However, another attempt will be
made from an airplane during the coming
eclipse."
Hope for Discoveries
Mr. Halgren said that astronomers and
scientists hope to make some important
discoveries during the eclipse. "We
learned from observations made during
previous eclipses of the presence of helium
in the corona of the sun. By this means
we were able to identify helium on the
earth. Helium was known to exist in the
sun long before we knew it existed on the
earth. As a result we now have the giant
airship, the Los Angeles, filled with helium
gas, and which next Saturday will carry
astronomers high in the air that they may
have a better chance of obtaining photo-graphs
of the corona. There is one sub-stance
in the corona called coromum which
we so far have been unable to identify on
the earth. Perhaps this eclipse will solve
that mystery, as was the case with helium."
Eclipses o! the sun are not rare events.
There are about 250 in a century, which is
an average of two and a half per year.
There must be two eclipses of the sun every
year and there may be as many as five.
Of the 250 eclipses, about ninety are
annular eclipses and seventy total. Seven-ty
total eclipses in a century means an
average of one in a year and a half. If
they were uniformly distributed over the
earth, a total eclipse would occur at any
given place once in 750 years.
Mr. Halgren said that eclipses have been
predicted from earlier times. "History
records that Thales predicted an eclipse
of the sun in 585 B. C. Of course, it was
impossible for the ancients with their
limited knowledge to predict where the
eclipse would take place. Astronomers
can now predict these matters within a
tenth of a second. During the coming
eclipse observations will be made to detect
the most minute errors in this matter."
What s the Difference Between
Coca, Cacao, Cocoa and Coco
The National Geographic Society has
issued a bulletin about the "most confusing
and most frequently misspelled names of
the plant world."
The names are : Coca, cacao, cocoa, coco
and coconut.
The fortunes of nomenclature thus make
similar the spelling of a shrub which pro-duces
a powerful narcotic, of a tree which
yields a delectable beverage, and of a
palm which provides an ingredient for
soap and candy. Moreover, it further
happens that the "a" and "o" variants in
these names render them all but indis-tinguishable
in the average person 's pen-manship.
"The word coca." continues the bulletin,
"refers to a South American shrub, ex-tensively
cultivated in Peru, where its
dried leaves are mixed with lime and
chewed by the natives for their stimulating
effect , and from which the cocaine of
medical use is obtained.
"The leaves resemble tea leaves some-what
, but they are peculiar in that their
upper and lower surfaces are entirely
unlike—the upper is deep green , smooth
and velvety, while the lower is light green
with a paler band on each side of its midrib.
"The plantations of coca occur in the
lower Andean hillsides, and the leaves are
eaten by natives and fed to mules because,
in addition to their stimulating effect , they
make respiration easy in climbing at high
altitudes.
Aztecs Used Beans for Money
"The word cacao is the name of a tree ,
cultivated in South America also, as well
as in Mexico, Central America, and the
West Indies. It is from the pulverized
seeds of the cacao that two of the world 's
best-known plant products, cocoa and
chocolate are derived .
"The Aztecs prized the cacao tree high-ly;
they used the beans of the tree for
money until the Spaniards showed them
that gold was a better exchange medium.
"The Mexican State of Tobasco, and
the Soconusco region of Chiapas Slate,
gave names to the kinds of cocoa which
rank with the Mocha and Java of the
coffee out put. In Chile and Peru cocoa
still is called 'soconusco,' and it is a mark
of honor to be invited to take a cup of the
rich , chocolate beverage. The viceroys of
Mexico used to send the King of Spain
soconusco as a special gift.
"The word 'coco' is the name of a tree
which produces the familiar coconut,
frequently misspelled 'cocoanut.'
"The coconut tree is to the South Sea
Islanders what grain is to our Plains States,
or cotton is to our South—only more so.
It is the most precious gift of nature to the
dwellers on coral isles, and where it does
not grow usually there are no inhabitants.
"The green coconut furnishes milk and a
delicate meat like the white of a soft-boiled
egg. The ripe nut provides the
copra of commerce. The dried and pol-ished
shells make water bottles and oil
flasks.
"The fiber which surrounds the nut in
the husk is twisted into cord, which serves
a multitude of ways, from binding the
ra fters of huts and timbers of canoes to
tying sharks' teeth to spear blades and
making bird cages and fish nets.
"The sap which drips from the severed
flower stalk is sweet toddy which , fer-mented,
becomes a favorite intoxicant.
The unopened leaves of the tree's crown
make a delicious white salad , the 'sailor 's
cabbage' of old whaling days.
"The sheath at the base of the leaf , the
lower leaves, the leaves dried , and the tree
trunks are put to a wide variety of other
uses.
"To make the id yllic picture perfect , for
the idle native the coconut trees plant
themselves. With their grea t , air-filled
husks the coconuts travel up and down the
seas for months, and even years, until they
find a beach where they gain a foothold,
Consequently, no matter what the geologi-cal
history, or other plant life of the vast
number of islets in the tropica l waters,
th eir shores • are fringed with coconut
palms.
"In your memory's eye, then , coconut
and coco may he grouped together; cocoa,
the beverage, and the cacao tree , from
which it comes; and coca , a shrub, which
is the source of cocaine."

AN OPPORTUNITY TO OBTAIN
PROFESSIONAL TRAINING
Hershe y's Snow-Clad
and Ice-Bound
Sidewalks
There are a number of sidewalks in
Hershey that are dangerous from un-touched
accumulations bflee and snow,
which in a number of instances are on our
prfricipal thoroughfares, a condition which
does no credit to the community
Neglect of this duty exposes the public
to daily and hourly peril to life and limb.
Civic pride should be enough to arouse
those who are negligent in this duty to
follow their neighbor's action, which we
are glad to state are in the great majority.
It is now more than two weeks since the
heavy snow has fallen, yet there were
pavements untouched by shovel or pick.
And, of course, the rain and freezing
weather aggravated the trouble.
With the additional snow that fell on
Tuesday, we wonder if the lack-of-civic-spirit
occupants will continue to keep their
snow shovel unused.
It is a sorry commentary upon the
patriotism and sense of civic duty that
there should be any one so negligent in
this respect, especially in Hershey. The
sidewalks are the personal concern of every
citizen, who ought not to be reminded of a
duty so obvious and necessary.
Lar ge Apartment
House To
Be Constructed
The big stone structure on East Choco-late
Avenue, formerly occupied by the
Hershey Garage, will be remodeled into an
apartment house.
An addition will be constructed facing
Chocolate Avenue, the roof of the present
structure will be altered, and porches will
be built, and when finished, the building
will be an architectural gem of high order,
which will add much to the surroundings
of that particular section of the town.
There will be twelve apartments in the building, each consisting of six rooms.^"
Already eight of these have been rented,
and long before the structure will be
finished, no doubt, the remaining apart-ments
will have been taken.
Building operations will begin im-mediately,
and every effort will be made to
have the structure finished ready for
occupancy by early Spring.
The Hershey Lumber Co., has charge op
the building operations. i /

Power of Love
Basic Theme of
"Merr y-Go-Round
What is love without handicaps?
Every philosopher and poet who ever
amounted to anything has declared that
without obstacles in the path of its glorious
advance love would be unattractive. It
would be colorless.
Most people who read much have
noticed that in all powerful love stories the
thing that makes them interesting and
thrilling is the final victory over apparently
insurmountable handicaps.
"Merry-Go-Round," the Universal
Super-Jewel spectacle feature which was
in the making for many months and comes
at last to the Hershey Central Theatre on
Thursday evening, Jan. 29th, at 7.30
o'clock, tells of the love between a peasant
girl of the prater, the famous Coney Island
district of Vienna, Austria, and a young
count of the Emperor's highest staff.
In real life a successful consummation
of that love in happy marriage would be
absolutely impossible, and "Merry-Go-
Round" is not a fairy tale. It does not
try to picture the impossible.
But the recent world war knocked the
foundation out from under Austria's
proud aristocracy and left a ponderous
emptiness where before there had been
splendor and pompous idleness. Today
members of noble families work, no better
than the peasants they once despised.
Merry-Go-Round," a multiple reel
film story, tells this in dramatic form and
pictures the social changes that fate made
with a drastic hand in the once proud
nation.
A cast of unusual calibre, including
Norman Kerry, George Hackathorne, the
new surprise "discovery" girl, Mary
Philbin, Cesare Gravina, Dale Fuller,
Maude George, George Seigmann, Al
Edmundson, Anton Vaverka, Spottis-woode
Aitken and Sidney Bracy, Dorothy
Wallace, Edith Yorke and Lillian Sylves-ter.

Tinney played a spectacular game for
Hershey while Shope played a fast game
for the losers. The score at half time was
12 to 1 in Hershey's favor .
The Girls' team however met stronger
opposition and after playing a hard fought
game came out on the short end, the final

HIGIISPIRE AT HERSHEY
SATURDAY
Sugar Movement
From Cuba
Now Under Way
The annual movement of sugar from the
Hershey plantations in Cuba has started,
and since the first of the year approximate-ly
25 cars have been received at the Her-shey
Chocolate factory.
The Hershey sugar mills, of which there
are two, have a capacity of 450,000 bags
of sugar for a six mpnths' grinding period.
Approximately 3000 bags of sugar, or
nearly 1,000,000 pounds of sugar, is the
average daily production during this
period. The Hershey plantations consist
of 30,000 acres, with about 15,000 addi-tional
acres under lease. Five thousand
persons are employed on the plantations
and at the sugar muls.
The superiority of Cuban sugar lies in
both the quantity and quality of her soil.
With a depth in some places, of as much as
thirty feet of soil, the richness is such that
cane, with a single planting, will bear its
annual crop from seven to ten. years; while
in other cane countries replanting is done
every year.
In Cuba, too, the seasons are ideal for
the economical production of cane. The
warmest months are from May to October
and these are the rainy months. The
distribution of the rain during this hot
spell is such that a much smaller quantity
is required than would be the case in other
regions where the rainfall is less evenly
distributed.
When the six months' rainfall is at an
end, and the cane is ready to harvest, a six
months' dry period sets in, and with the
resultant dry fields and dry roads, the
operations of harvesting and grinding are
accomplished under the most favorable
conditions.
When the Cuban grinding season, from
December 1st to May 1st, is finished, the
fields are green again and the cane is well
on its way toward the next season's crop.
Love, Mystery and
Melodrama Abound in
"The Breakin g Point "
"The Breaking Point," Herbert Bren-on's
latest Paramount production which
will be shown at the Hershey Central
Theatre on Saturday evening, Jan. 24th ,
at 7.30 o'clock, is a mystery drama packed
with action. Nita Naldi, Patsy Ruth
Miller, George Fawcett and Matt Moore
are featured.
Moore plays the role of a reckless
millionaire, Judson Clark, who is desper-ately
in love with a popular actress, Bever-ly
Carlysle (Nita Naldi). At Clark's
Wyoming ranch, he and Beverly's husband
quarrel; the lamp is overturned; a flash is
seen in the dark, and the husband is found
dead on the floor. Clark escapes into a
snowstorm. He is found in a delirious
condition by Dr. Livingstone who takes
him to his home at Haverly, just outside of
New York and introduces him as his
nephew.
Years go by, and the man becomes a
successful physician. He becomes en-gaged
to a young girl, Elizabeth Wheeler.
One night at the theatre he is recognized
by Beverly Carlysle who faints upon the
stage. From this point in the story, the
old influences which he has forgotten begin
once more to wind themselves around him.
Schemes, of which he is the unconscious
center, are formed by characters who see
in his sudden reappearance a grave menace
to their own safety and popularity.
The final clearing of the mystery forms
a series of scenes which build to a dramatic
climax.
Patsy Ruth Miller plays the role of
Elizabeth Wheeler, and Mr. Fawcett
portrays Dr. David Livingstone. Matt
Moore in the dual role of Judson Clark and
Dick Livingstone does the finest work of
his lengthy career, and Miss Naldi is more
alluring than ever as the beautiful Beverly.
"The Inside Story" is an adaptation by
Julie Heme and Edfrid Bingham of the
novel and play by that name by Mary
Roberts Rhinehart. James Howe handled
the photography.

and full credit must be given the almond
for its share in the popularity of this
splendid product. No other nut blends
its flavor with that of Hershey's milk
chocolate than does the almond. Almonds
contain abundant protein of a more nu-tritious
value than the protein of the best
of cereals.
The almonds that are used in the Her-shey
almond bar come from the almond
groves of Southern Europe. Only the
choicest almonds are selected. Sorters
carefully inspect the nuts as they start on
their way, and only the plump, perfect
nuts pass inspection .
The almond is a native to Western Asia
and Northern Africa, but is now found
growing quite extensively throughout
Southern Europe. The tree, which is
similar to a peach tree, is twenty to thirty
feet high ; its flowers are similar to peach
blossoms, and it has a peach-like fruit.
The outer part of this fruit is a dry, fibrous
husk, which gradually shrinks up and
splits at maturity; the nut or stone is the
almond of commerce. The wood of the
almond tree is hard and of a reddish color,
and is used by cabinet makers.
Nuts are unquestionably.one of the few
really natural foods of primitive man and
are therefore suited to the human dietary,
whether we hold the view that they were
created for man's sustenance or that man
adapted his organism by the slow process
of evolution to suit the food he found most
available, says Milo Hastings, Director
Physical Culture Health Food Laboratory.
There is, in fact, no large group of foods
that are now eaten more than are the nut
meats. That fact is itself a pretty good
argument that nuts were the real primitive
or natural food of man.
The nut is extolled as being a "meat
substitute." This is a short-sighted,
present-day view of the situation ; and
looked at in the long range of human
history the nuts is not a meat substitute,
but meat is a nut substitute.
With the exception of bird 's eggs, lizards,
locusts and other sundry bits of small
animal life, primitive man, if we go back
far enough , was not a meat eater. Meat
eating came at a stage of man's develop-ment
when the inventions of weapons, not
nfies, but clubs, stone axes and spears
first enabled man to capture and kill large
animals and adopt a meat diet.
By this physical makeup man is not
carnivorous, he hasn't the teeth, jaws,
claws or bodily habits that would enable
him unaided by weapons and intelligence
to catch his meat—and while he did
develop artificial claws and teeth he never
developed t h e inside physiological
machinery that the carnivorous animal
possess.
From nuts early man secured the bulk of
his protein and nearly all his fat or oil
food. These are the same elements that
we can get from meat, and meat is there-fore
a nut substitute.
The chemical composition of tree nuts,
such as the almond, walnut, filbert, pecan,
etc., (the peanut is not a true nut botanical-ly,
but more nearly related to the bean
family), contain high percentages of oil
and proteins, and practically free from
water. Meat is usually more than half
water, bread is one third water, cooked
cereals three-fourths water, fruits and
vegetables from three-fourths to nine-tenths
water.
Nuts are sometimes found to be indi-gestible,
and the cause is almost invariably
lack of sufficient mastication. That is due
to the habit of bolting food without masti-cation
. Nuts must be chewed; it is the
natural and proper way to eat not only
nuts but food in general. But nuts are not
unpleasant or very difficult to chew. If
you want to get the "meat" out of nuts
they should be chewed to moderate fine-ness.

Bernarr MacFadden, editor of the
Physical Culture Magazine, says that
chocolate is a complete and concentrated
food, and that the addition of almonds to
it adds a pleasing flavor and variety to it.
The almonds neither enrich nor detract
from the nutrition of the chocolate, for
they are about equal quality to the choco-late
they replace. He further states that
the almond ranks with the very finest of
nuts.
"Scaramouche " Is Big Feature
at Central Theatre Tonight
Scaramouche, a Rex Ingram produc-tion
for Metro Pictures Corporation,
adapted from Rafael Sabatini's novel of
the same name, will be shown at the Her-shey
Central Theatre on Thursday evening
(tonight), Jan. 22d, at 7.30 o'clock. This
picture, a feature in ten reels, has played
special engagements in the larger cities and
comes to Hershey acclaimed by critics as
one of the masterpieces of filmdom.
Ingram, from all accounts, has surpassed
his production of "The Four Horsemen of
the Apocalypse" with this picture.
"Scaramouche" is a story of the French
Revolution. It tells the romance of Andre-
Louis Moreau (Ramon Novarro) and
Aline de Kercadiou (Alice Terry). Andre-
Louis has been brought up as the ward of
Aline's uncle. The Marquis de la Tour
d'Azyr (Lewis Stone), a haughty aristocra t
and man of fashion , killed Andre-Louis'
friend , Philippe, because of his revolution-ary
sentiments, and on the Marquis
Andre-Louis has sworn eternal vengeance.
To make matters worse the Marquis is
courting Aline.
Andre's seditious speeches cause him to
be sought for the gallows, and in escaping
from the pursuing gendarmerie, he joins
a strolling band of players and becomes
Scaramouche, the clown. Bitterness
against Aline leads him into an affair with
the leading lady of the troupe, but he ends
this when the girl accepts attentions from
the Marquis.
Skilled in fencing, Andre-I-ouis Moreau
is persuaded to become substitute deputy
in the National Assembly of France lor a
deputy who was killed in the series of duels
brought by the aristocrats against the
people's representatives. In a duel with
La Tour d'Azyr, that is the culmination of
his activities in the Assembly, Andre-
Louis wounds the Marquis, and Andre's
misunderstanding of Aline's actions after
the duel, further widens the breach
between them.
The fires of rebellion among the lower
and middle classes of Paris are finally
fanned into open revolt. The patriot
Danton (George Siegmann) leads the mob
to the Tuileries, where the monarchy ia
overthrown. The Marquis escapes from
the massacre at the Tuileries, and seeks
shelter at the house where also is Aline,
who has been unable to escape from the
city. Andre-Louis comes to save her, and
finds the Marquis there. The two men
are on the point of killing each other when
revela tions are made that disclose Andre's
real identit y.
The thirt y principal characters in
"Scaramouche" include, beside Ramon
Novarro, Lewis Stone and Alice Terry,
who were the triumvirate that appeared in
Ingram's "Prisoner of Zenda," Lloyd
Ingraham, Julia Swayne Gordon and
Edith Allen.
Willis Goldbeck adapted the story to
the screen, the photography was by John
F. Scitz, Curt Rehfeld was production
manager, and Grant Whytock editor.
Costumes were designed by O'Kane Corn-well
and Evamay Roth and executed by
Van Horn.
Suggest That Hershe y
Firemen Make Tour
Of Inspection
We wonder if at any time when our
brave and worthy lire-lighting laddies, as
they gather around the card and pool
tables, think of making an inspection of
the fire plugs around the town , that are
ban ked with snow.
We wonder if it would not be a good
idea for a sound of our firemen to venture
out one of these evenings, and make these
plugs accessible in case there should happen
to be a fire!
We believe it would be a good idea. It
would not only make the townspeople feel
that the firemen had their minds on their
work , but it would give the firemen an
opixu'tunily of really knowing where the
lire plugs are located , which we doubt ,
nin e out of ten can It'll us.
While they me making this tour of in-spection
it might not be a bad idea to take
a few wrenches along and determine if it is
ixmsihlc to budge the cups.

New Hershe y Garag e
Last Word in
Gara ge Construction
Saturday was moving day at the Her-shey
garage. Altho the weather conditions
were not propitious, nevertheless, the
movement was made swiftly and efficient-ly,
and on Monday morning the old garage
on East Chocolate Avenue was empty, and
the new, large and handsome garage on
Fast Chocolate Avenue was filled to over-flowing,
and bustling with activity.
This new garage is, without a doubt,
more than a garage, it is the consumma-tion
of a new idea , in tha t of the housing of
automobiles
In the average garage cars are placed in
an y space that so haptens to be available,
liven tho you do have a regular space, if
the conditi ons are crowded , which la gen-erally
the case, you will , in nine cases out
of ten , have to shove away the car that has
been placed in front of you, before you
ar e enabled to be on your way. And,
moreover , it takes an expert driver, in
(act n genius, to worm his way out of the
average garage, wi thout damaging a car.
You nre , moreover, always taking a chance
of having your own car clamaged by some-one
else, who is handicapped with these
conditions. ,
This has all been done away in the new
Hershey garage. livery car has its own
priva te garage, so to speak, and each one
lias its own entrance. You drive in your
Individual gara ge, unhindered an un-ham
pered. There Is no one in your way
and you are in no one else's way, for the
driveway between the rows of these in-dividual
garages, is wide, unusually wide.
Tin; individual garages nre sixty In
number, fifte en In n row, constituting four
rowH, which are placed in the rear of offices
and workrooms of the main garage. Each
one of the individual garages is heated and
electrically lighted , with ample space to
maneuver , without being crowded.
On the ground lloor mifliclent space has
been provided for the Company's trucks,
twent y-five in number.
The oil ices and workrooms are modern
in every sense of the word . In fact , there
is none in the larger cities that are its peer
In I Ilia respect,
On the second floor of the office and
workrcxims several apartments have been
provided-and these are comfy, very
comfy Indeed,
So grea t has become the demand for
these Individual garages that additional
ones will lie constructed .
