Man, 78, Makes Appeal
For Old Men Who Are
Refused Employment
Washington, D. C., Feb. 21.—An ap
peal for the establishment of "young
old men's" associations throughout tho
country to aid In finding employment
for elderly men who have been barred
from securing work simply because
of their gray hairs is contained In a
letter received to-day by Mrs. J. Bor
den Harrlman. resident commissioner
of the Federal Commission on Indus
trial Relations. The communication
was from George W. Crossett, 78 years
of age, honorary president of tho
Young Old Men's Association of Cleve
land, Ohio, and relates what has been
done by that organization to help
those who have lost their positions be
cause they "look old."
"The story of the gray-haired man.
Btrong, able and willing, being denied
even a hearing because ho looks old, '
says Mr. Crossett, "is one of the
world's tragedies. Elderly men who
have been laid aside only because their
hair is gray are entitled to some con
sideration. A man is as old as he
feels, and in our association we have
many men who still feel young and
capable. Our list of men seeking em
ployment Includes men fitted for every
line of industry, and a like association
should be organized in every large
city "

A most satisfactory way of buying a MONUMENT, MARKER, etc., is
to make a selection from the finished assortment I carry in stock.
You are better enabled to judge size, design and quality of material
than to select from numbered stock designs, which often mislead and
upon erection are unsatisfactory. Should your ideas tend to the higher
art in memorials I shall be pleased to embody them in a design. (A

HERSHEY
Hershey as it stands to-day is not the result
of a quick, booming growth. The fact that
many people have seen and taken advantage
of the many opportunities afforded here, is
why Hershey is no longer only a small manu
facturing town. This steady growth was not
unlooked for. Hershey at the very begin
ning was laid out to afford better living con
ditions at a cheaper cost. And it is the pre
dominant feature of the town to-day.
You should investigate Hershey at your very
first opportunity. There is so much here for
you that the sooner you see it; the sooner
you will make up your mind to enjoy your
life here.
Hershey lots sell for $600.00 upward for 40
feet frontage. A few reasonable building re
strictions protect your home. Phone or
write, representatives are always on the
ground.

County Government in U. S.
Inadequate, Says Report
New York, Feb. 21.—The present
system of county government in the
United States is inadequate, obsolete
and vicious, in the opinion of a bureau
if the State comptroller's office which
has just completed a three years'
study of the subject. "The county
system permits of too many irregular
and illegal practices," says a report by
the chief of the bureau. "The board
of supervisors has too wide a power;
it should either be abolished or curbed.
The county financial department is
almost invariably careless and slip
shod. The county jail is generally a
veritable hotbed of vice and crime."
