Washington. Oct. 1 0—<1. N.
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.
