THEY MAKE GUM.
An Interesting Process Not Generally

An Interesting Process Not Generally
Known.
The largest chewinggum factory in
the world is in Cleveland, Ohio, says
the Buffalo News. Only few years
ago it's owner was poor man, making
his gum in the basement of an old
building, Offering in vain to sell his
whole business for 500. and with his
wife as his sole assistant. Now his
three hundred employees make profits
for a millionaire.
The very air around the factory is
pregnant with the composite fragrance
| of the essences used in fav0ring. En-
| tering by the packing-rOOm the white
walls, the fine drift of sugar lying ev
erywhere, and the rows of white-cap-
ped girls folding the crisp papers with
the deft rapidity of machines, give a
first impression of odorous Wilderness.
| The gum making begins in Mexico,
| it's foundation being chicle gum, the
chOcOlate-cOlOred evidence of the nase-
berry tree. The natives gather, pack
it in barrels and send it north. At the
factory it is picked over and crushed,
then placed in large kettles, together
with sugar and flavoring extracts.
While cooking, the revolving cylinder
within the kettle keeps the mass con-
stantly stirred. When cooled it is car
ried to table, where group of girls
knead the Gingerbread looking stuff,
mixing in sugar until it attains the
needed dryness. Transferred to an
other table, it is rolled out to thick
square cakes, worked as cook would
pastry, but with sugar taking the place
of flour. These cakes are then passed
back and forth under a steam roller
until each is in thin strips about eigh-
teen inches wide and a yard long. A
grOoved roller cuts it into squares
which are laid on tray and left for
twenty-four hours After the days
drying, another grooved roller marks
it into the shape in which it is sold
when it is broken and sent in boxes to
the packing-roOm. Here it is wrapped
in paper, packed in dainty boxes, then
sent to the inspecting-rOom where each
box is opened, examined and passed.
All through the process may be noted
the same accurate care and economy
Some girls in the inspecting depart
ment are kept busy lightly scrapine
unevenly shaped pieces. Every broken
scrap is saved and returned to the
melting kettle. .e -
| The factory is complete in itself, and
has many departments. The top floor
is given up to the manufacture Of paste
board boxes for the gum. The base
ment is-.a light, airy printing Office
where many hands are, busy. with thu
labels and advertising matter. A rail
way switch loads and unloads every
thing at the door six brands of gum
are made at the building. OF one brand
alone-the Yucatan--the b0okkeeper
told me $1,000 miles had been sold In
ten years, that in each day of the las,
ten years thirteen and half miles had
been the average sales.

any other dog, watch him carefully.
If he is infected by rabies, you will
discover signs of it possibly in from
six to ten days Then he will be
restless, often getting up only to lie
down again, changing his position
impatiently, turning from side to
side, and constantly licking or
scratching some particular part Of
his head, limbs, or body He will
be irritable and inclined to dash at
other animals, and he will some
times snap at objects which he
imagines to be near him. He will
be excessively thirsty, tapping water
eagerly and often Then there will
be glandular swellings about his
jaws and throat, and he will vainly
endeavor TO rid himself of thick,
ropy, mucous discharge from his
mouth and throat If he can, he
will probably stray away from home
and trot slowly and mournfully
along the highway or cross country,
meddling with neither man or
beast, unless they approach him,
and then giving single snap. The
only exception to this behavior oc-
ours in ferocious dogs which during
the earlier stage of excitment, may
attack any living object in sight.
These symptoms of rabies are con
densed from valuable information
received from physicians of undoubt-
ed authority.

NO MONEY FOR FISH.
JOHN P. HAINEs.

The Commission is without Funds
Through Inaction of the Legislature.
Through another blunder of the
Legislature the State Fish Commits
sion did not get an appropriation for
the next two years and its occupa-
ton is gone, for time at least. 1t
is customary to give the commits
sion $40 900 for the two years.
The Commissioners in looking
over the appropriation bill discov-
cred that they had not been pro-
vided for, and they called a meeting
in Harrisburg last Monday. There
are now in the fish hatcheries of
Cory, Erie, Allentown and Bristol
60, 900 breeding fish, including 3d.
600 fine trout In 1856 over 60,-
100000 fish were distributed in
streams, and in 1867 over 1872
900, GOO were sent out. All of the
hatcheries, however, will have to
be closed, as there is no money to
buy food and the commission is in
debt SO, 900.
The new fish bill now in the
hands of the Governor will also go
by the board. 1t provided for
chief fish warden and subordinates
alta cost of SIS, 900, but the general
appropriation bill failed to make
provision for the SIS, 600. The Gov
ernor will veto it.

OBITUARY.
JOHN nrvAs VAN AuKEN

JOHN BkNAN VAN AUkhN.
By this death Delaware township
loses one of her oldest and most re-
spected citizens. For many years he
has been foremost in her local af
fairs and a prominent figure in their
conduct. He was the son of G..
Abram and Catharine Bevan Van
Auken and was born at Walpack
Centre, N. j., June 3, 1925. His
mother was a daughter of Evan
Bevans and he was thus connected
with one of the oldest and most in
fluential families in Sandyston town
ship. When but a child his parents
removed to this State and located Oh
the farm which he owned and where
he resided at the time of his decease.
Early in life he took up the trade of
blacksmithing which he carried on
successfully for many years, but re-
linquished it latterly to pursue the
less arduous and exacting pursuit of
farming. That he was held in high
esteem among his neighbors and the
citizens of his township is evidenced
by the fact that although belonging
to the minority party, such was his
integrity of character, and general
worth they conferred on him re-
peatedly offices of trust.
He had been school director for
several terms, and held the Office of
tax collector, to which he had been
reelected, at the time of his death
He was also treasurer of the NJ E.
Church, and of the Delaware Gene
terry Association. In politics he was
a Republican and in religion Metho-
dist. To his party he was warmly
attached, and an earnest worker for
the Advancement of it's principles.
To the church of his choice and of
which he had been for many years a
consistent and faithful member he
was an ornament and highly in
huential by his precept and example
in intoxicating in the community a
respect for the religion he earnestly
professed, and by his daily walk and
conversation fully exemplified. Such
men dying leave record we'll
worthy of emulation, and an impress
for good which time does not wholly
efface, nor the lapse of years eradi-
cate.
Mr.. Van Auken had been in his
usual ordinary health up to a re-
cent period when he was attacked
by severe cold which developed in
pneumonia, and this complicated
with the heart trouble with which
for some time he had been affected
terminated his life July9 8. In 1S4s
he married Sally Ann Gardner who
passed away some two years ago
He is survived by one sister, Sarah
wife of George Molineaux of Sedg-
wickville, Missouri, by one son Geo B.
Van Auken and two daughters, Mary
i. wife of j. Philip Noack of Mar
shalls Creek and Kate V. wife of A.
S, Dingman of this place, also by
three grandchildren, children of a
deceased son Hezekiah, and by one
half brother, Henry b. Van Auken,
of Delaware, and half sister, Lydia,
wife of Nathan Emery, Jr., of this
place.
The funeral was held last Sunday
morning at the M. E. Church in
Dingmans and interment in the
cemetery at that place.

Injured BY a Bull

John NJ. Aldrich last Sunday
morning in attempting to drive one
of his COWS out of the field of j c.
Bull where she had strayed thought
he would teach a two year-old bull
a salutary lesson and hit him with a
stick over the head. The bull which
had been perfectly peaceable re-
sented the familiarity and gave his
casigator one punch ala Fitzsim-
mons which took the wind out of Mr.
Aldrich and slightly loosened a rib.
The bovine was satisfied and quietly
resumed his grazing, while Mr. Al
drich crawled OFF to the fence, and
sought assistance. He knows more
about "critters" now, though not
badly injured

EDITOR or THE Pass.

To THE EDITOR on THE Pass:
DEAR SIR.-There seems to be a rumor
afloat around Port Jervis which reflects in
an uncompiimentary manner on the peo-
pie Of Montague or myself in regard to the
treatment of the remains Of the unfortun-
ate little Daniel Early. Whoever circulated
the story that the remains Of the lad were
allowed TO lay in the road exposed to the
rays Of the hot sun for four or five hours
is not speaking the truth The renains
were moved out of the road before ] arrived
by Wehner Schubiger and were again
moved by Horace and Lorenzo Smith and
myself and placed in as good position as
was possible under the circumstances
And no ray of the sun could strike the
body as the place where the accident hap
pened IS shady after four o'clocn and the
accident did not happen untn after $50.
Whenever Squire Jas 9 Fuller or my
self needs the advice Of rappantown law
yers We win ask for 1t.
Yours respectfully,
