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.
