S.)—Jaw-tireless flappers of the United States chewed so much chewing gum last year that laid end to <-nd the stii'ks would reach «round tho earth 210 times. Basing their Judgment on statistics Issued at the depart ment of commerce showing the value of the gum crop last year to have" been in excess of $40.- 500.000, it was estimated that in the 120 billion sticks of chewing gum produced there were 372.000 billion chews. The chewing gum would make a strip about 5,600,000 miles long. Ahead of importance of chew ing gum in American life, how ever, is the cigarette, much abused by anti-societies and yet apparently holding its own. Based on the manufacture of approximately C.300,000,000 cigarettes in August, the anu- nual production in 1924 will run close of 76.000,000.000, 12.000.000.000 to 15.000.000.- 000 increase over 1923.
