memory. Out Of the shadows and out
Of the sunshine comes Mothers face,
Mothers voice, Mothers love.
On Mothers Day, urge every boy,
every girl, every man, every woman in
Michigan to pay tribute of love and
devotion to the living Mother. Just
read her last letter once more,
then write her a joyous letter telling

tears.
Yes, the greatness and glory Of a
nation is in the hands an hearts Of
the mothers.
THEREFORE,, !, Woodbridge NJ.
Ferris, ask that the people Of Michigan
set apart the Second Sunday in May

ance of l0,f50,395 as potentially invet-
crate chewers of gum, all under the
age of 20 years. OF course, all of these
may not have been gum -chewers
equally Of course, inveterate gum
chewers can not be confined to persons
under the age of 20. These figures may
be taken, however to show that the es-
innate Of 10,000,000 inVeterate chew
ers is very conservative.
The latest statistics published by
the department of commerce show that
during the calendar year 1913 the Unit
ed States imported 13.401,316 pounds
of chicle, valued at $5,119,5OO. Now
the word "chicle" To most people in
this country might be Greek-but it
isn't According tn the pamphlet on
Mexico recently issued by the Pam
American Union at Washington, u. c.,
the word "chicle" is of Aztec origin
and it's the name given To the sap of
the sapote tree, botanuically known as
as the Sapota Zapotilla. 1t is this sap
which is the basis of practically all
the chewing gum used i'm 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, continent. The followers of Cor
tez reported that the Indians, chewed
gum to quench thirst and relieve
exhaustion They obtained ii from the
sapote tree by tapping. and today the
manner of gathering the sap is i'm 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-sev-
enths of the entire supply consumed
annually i'm the United States.
The sapote tree is usually found i'm
groups frequently grows to q height
of 40 to so feet ,ise generally very
straight. and has a long. clear length
which makes 1t most desirable for tim
Der. The wood is of reddish mahog-
any color, is quite hard. heavy. COM
pact in texture. and fine grained. Door
stills and frames of this remarkable
wood have been unearthed in the pre-
historic ruins Of Uxmal and found To
be in an excellent state of .preserva-
ton. The wood Is In demand today by
cabinetmakers, who employ it in the
manufacture Of high grade furniture
and household fittings.
The fruit, the spodilla pear. was once
very popular in Latin American mar
kets. but the constant demand for the
gum and the consequent shpping so
reduced the size and qtahtiy OF the
fruit that IL has become almost neg
ligible product.

LIGHTNING IS PROLIFIC

OFFICERS. III

Exhaustive inquiry has established
the fact that lightning ranks next 10
railroads as a source Of forest fires
Forest officers say that the Increasing
care with fire on the part of the rail-
roads and the public generally tends To
make lightning the largest single CON
tributing cause. ~t3
This statement represent change
of view from that held less than n
decade ago i'm this country, when for
est journals gravely argued whether
lightning caused forest fires. though il
was known that trees were the objects
most often struck. Trees are said ia
he oftenest struck simply because thcy
are so numerous, ana extending up-
ward they shorten the distance be-
tween the ground and the clouds: fur
Their, their branches in the air and
roots well into the earth invite cleo
trisal discharges.
While certain trees are said to in

mune from stroke. it seems To 10 n
fact that any kind of tree will he

species in any locality is the one most
