SOURCE OF CHEWING GUM

books like milk at first. but soon turns to the consistency of treacle. It Is collected and boiled in a rather prim- itive manner in large kettles, and when 1t has reached the proper consistency it is kneaded and the surplus moisture expressed. It is then molded into large loaves and is ready for shipment. When it reaches the factories in the United States it is mixed and boiled in large copper kettles to required cOnSiS- tency, flavoring extracts, such as va nilla, peppermint, or wintergreen are added with the required amount of sugar. It is then whipped into a dough and removed to tables and kneaded in powdered sugar, rolled into sheets, cut to desired sizes, wrapped by machines in attractive paper, packed into fancy
 boxes, and Is then the chewing gum of commerce. It is estimated that 300,- 000,0 packages of gum are sold an rually in the United States, each con taining an average of five pieces. These placed end to end would reach a dis tance of 71.025 miles, or nearly two and one-half times around the world. If in their elastic state they were stretched into thread one-sixteenth of an inch in diameter, this thread of gum would extend distance of 497,- S75 miles, or from the earth to the moon, wrap three times around that satellite. and back to Mother Earth

Congress Adds to National Forest

From the Louisville Courer-Journal
 Nearly 17,OO0 acres have just been added by act of Congress to the Caribou Nation- al Forest, Idaho. This is one of the first of such additions through congressional action and is the largest so far made by direct legislation.
 Those who have followed the national forest movement in this country will re- call that most of the forests have been created through presidential proclama- ton. which set aside for timber growing or for water protection certain acres of the public domain
 In March, 1907 however, Congress passed a law that no further additions should be made to the national forest areas in the states of Colorado, Idaho, Montana, Oregon. Washington and Wy oming, except through congressional ac- ton.
 Since July 1909 residents of the city Of. Montpelier, Ida, have been petitioning to have the 17,0O0-acre tract added to the Caribou national forest. because the area includes the watershed of the stream which furnishes the citys water supply
 Not being within national forest the tract was given over to unregulated grazing and other uses which resulted in stream pollution and became serious menace to health. The citizens of Mont pelier at several times subsequent to their first efforts in 1909, renewed their pe- tition and the act just passed repre- sents the successful outcome of their ef- forts.

 It is so beautiful and so true that it can't be too often repeated.

 As black as the "ace of spades" She was talking to a member of her "society" about the good that church or ganization was doing.

UTAH TRACK CAPTAIN
DECLARED INELIGIBLE
Basil E. Jamison Resigns on
Action of Conference Board
of Arbitrators.

Basil z. Jamison. captain of the Uni
versity of Utah track team and the pest
distance runner in the ROCKY mountain
conference, was yesterday declared IN
eligible by the conference board of ar
bitrators and will not compete for the
crimson and silver this spring. either
in Utah meets or In the conference meet
In Colorado Jamison was charged with
having already competed for four years
and after an investigation he was ruled
out on a technlcality.
Jamison competed two years for Colo
RADIO college before coming TO Utah three
wear ago His first year at Utah he
was kept from competition by the one
year residence rule, but thought that he
had two more years at Utah. Last year
he entered all the state meets and the
conference meet and at the close OF the
season was elected captain for TINS year.
He was recently charged, however. with
having competed In an A. A. L.. meet in
Denver five years ago under the Colo
RADIO college coors.
He admitted that the charge was true
and was thercupon declared ineligible.
1t SO happened ;hat at the time or the
A. A. L. meet he was running independ-
entity and {. 9. had no team In the
ever. were represented and Janison. not
knowing what effect his action would
have, donncd a tiger sweater and reg
istered with the clerk OF course as a
that action the conference based its de-
cision. The one meet is now counted as
II year oil competition and. JamlSon VIII
have TO resign from the team
His loss to the. Utah track team IS
severe. Without him, Benn!on says, 1t
Will be an uphill fight from start TO
finish TO win the state meet.
JamiSon has been one OF the most de-
pendable track men Utah has ever had
He entered the university three years
ago as Junior and Immediately reg
istered for track work From the start
his work was sensational and he was
touted rs the best miller in the state.
He worked in the distances with Cap
tain Cole of last years team and the
two were good for the the two best
places in both distances in every meet.
He holds the Rocky mountain record
for both the half mile and the mile. His
mark for the mile is l minute 10 sec
onds, and he covered the half In 2
minutes flat. His half mile mark also
stands as the Utah state record, The
Utah record for the mile is held by
James Wade at l minute 30 seconds.
Jamisou resigned Immediately as cap
tain of the team and today his successor
will be elected. Jamison is the only
man in the school who won a first
place in any event last year. The other
''U" men are Flagel Brockmeyer Parry
and Travers, 1t Is almost certain that
'laeel will be elected to take his place.
