OF CHEWING GUM ANNUALLY TO AMERICANS

tree, botannicaIly known as the sapota
zapotina. 1t is this sap which is the
basis OF practically all the chewing gum
used in the United States
The Aztecs OF Mexico are said to have
been the first gum-chewers known on
this, or for that matter any other. con-
tinent The followers Of Cortez report
ed that the Indians chewed a gum to
quench thirst and relieve exhaustion
They obtained il from the sapote tree
by tapping, and today the manner Of
gathering the sap is in close analogy
to the process OF gathering maple sugar
in New England. The tree Is indigenous
to the northern countries of South
America, Central America, and especially
in Mexico. the last named furnishing
about six-sevenths of the entire supply
consumed annually in the United States.
1t is estimated that 100000 pack
ages OF gum are sold annually in the
United States, each containing on an
average five pieces. These placed end
to end would extend a distance of H.
05 miles. or nearly two and one-half
times around the world.

the fact that We gave more than our
quota
This fact was characteristic of the
national service Of the people here since
the day when the original proprtetors
gave hve-sevenths of the site for the
Federal city to the national government
and the three-quarters of a century fol-
lowing in which the few people here
sought to carry out the plans of George
Washington for the common National
Capital Since 1873 the small residen:
population has sustained one-half of the
burden of capital making and main
tenance, while all the rest of the coun-
try has carried only the other half.
Capital Always Mt Front.
THE District people were the first de-
tenders OF the National Capital in the
civil war and contributed more men than
their quota and more, proportionately.
than any one of a number of States in
every national war.
For national calamities like the Chi
cago fire, the San Francisco earthquake,
the Johnstown flood, and international
calamities like the famine in India and
China. Washington has given her full
share.
If the call OF war comes, her men
will go TO fight and her women will go
to nurse. Those who remain Will sup
port those who go. All organizations
and all individuals will contribute to
the American Red Cross as the best
means of meeting the common need. We
are glad that the national headquarters
of the American Red Cross is here. 1t
is an honor to claim as a Washingtonian
the presiding genius of the American
Red Cross, Miss Mabel Boardman, who
is devOting her life in this noble min
istry to the whole world. We say to
her, and through her to the American
Red Cross. Command and we shall

creased from ss45. 4O4. 1873 to SsS3 364.5lL
There was, thus, a decrease in reve-
nues Of 81, Isl. s24. and an increase in ex-
