GUM CHEWING IN AMERICA
omnpresent Habit Strikes Visitors
From Abroad as One Of the
Country's Wonders.

Washington.-Tw enty-nine students
and three professors of the University
Of Commerce, in Cologne, now in this
country, find the gum chewing habit
looming large among the wonders of
America This ought to cause no sur.
prise to Americans as all are familiar
with the omnipresent nickel-tn.the-
slot gum machine, the inexhaustible
sticks of chewing gum in Jars and
piles on candy store and drug store
counters, and the jaws almost unani.
mously in activity in subway Jams,
trolley car brushes and crowds at
large.
Baseball players chew gum to keen
off thirst, children and matinee girls
chew it because it tastes sweet, MANY
persons chew in the belief that they
are aiding their digestion, but most
people chew because they have got the
habit. Probably final analysis would
reveal an intimate connection between
nerves and habitual gum chewing.
There have been attempts to estah
fish gum in Europe. The results are
as yet inconsderable. However, the
demand right here in the United
States calls for the manufacture of
5000, 100000 pieces of gum per year
and gives prosperity to very healthy
eleven ear-old trust.

Mack Says Clark is
Logical Candidate
of Democratic Party

BUFFALO N. Y, Oct. 7.--Chairman
Norman u. Mack of the democratic ma
uonal committee in the October number
of the National Monthly presents
Speaker Champ Clark of the house OF
representatives as a possible candidate
for the democratic presidential nomlna-
tion.
Chairman Macks list of possibilities
now includes Governor Woodrow Wilson
of New Jersey, Governor Harmon Of
Ohio. Governor Thomas H. Marshall Of
Indiana. Governor Eugene y. Foas OF
Massac chusetts Governor John a. DIX Of
Now York and Speaker Champ Clark
Chairman Mack SAYS
THE battle next year for which every
body is now actively preparing must be
fought largely on the magnificent rscord
OF the present democratic house, In which
Champ Clark is speaker. and In the
shaping of whose policies his has been
the predominant influence.
Small wonder therefore, that his name
stands high in the list OF democratic
possibilities. The logic Of events has
placed him there, for since he has made
and is making the record on which We
must appeal to the country It Is but
logical that he should loom largely on
the horizon as a strong presidential pos
sibility."
