Just Half a Century Ago This Month

Passed around the CMcIe, and

came ore Thomas Adams, jr., to pay a
social call on the distinguished thug.
One word led to another and before
the afternoon was half over they had
reached such a state of familiarity that
General Santa Anna had gone to his
bureau-drawer and taken out little
chunk of something resembling over
shoeing and, placing a piece of it in his
mouth, began to chew it with apparent
relish, at the same time offering a sector
of it to Mr.. Adams and his son.
With nice regard for convention, Mr..
Adams asked the general what it was
before he placed it in his mouth, and
was informed that it was the gum of the
Zapote tree, known to its friends as
"chicle."
Thus treasured, Mr.. Adams took
chance, and was at once impressed with
the substances possibilities as a COM
mercial rubber He asked Santa Anna
to give him a piece about the size of
mans fist, and took it home with him
for experimental purposes, to see if it
could not be vulcanized.
In conference with a chemist and a
manufacturer of dental supplies, he tried
to produce from it a substance that
could be used as a base for artificial
teeth, but the thing must have had
some intuitive sense Of what it had
really been brought into the world for.

The Humble Birthplace of Chewing Gum.

1t needs but glance at current sta
tistics to show to what tremendous
heights it has risen. We have it on
otherwise unimpeachable authority that
if all the energy expended in chewing
gum were to be converted into calories
we would have a force sufficient to pro-
pei a ferryboat from Peck Slip, East
River, eastward to Pier 10, North River,
via Lisbon and Hong Kong, or in cleo
trical terms, current powerful enough
20 lift weight of 1906, 900 tons $4,000
miles per minute per second per kilo-
watt-hour This sounds staggering. 1t
is. But it is development of the gum
chewing habit that We must face with
out flinching and without pussy-footing.
The beneficial effects of this national
pastime must not be overlooked. Chew
ing-gum came into nation of tobacco
chewers and refined it and elevated its
tone until Charles Dickens, the author,
wouldn't recognize the old places were
he to pay a visit to this country to-day.
1t has contributed greatly to the
neatness of the personal appearance of
the nation, as it is estimated that in the
mirrors on gum machines there are 345,-
659,256 cravats and $3.50, 5S9 wisps of
hair adjusted during the calendar year
And one need only look at the car
cards to see that the use of chewing
gum, especially when brought home in
box, has been the means of keeping the
home life of the nation in state of pres
ervation. Were it not for chewing-gum
what would there be for the little ones
to run prattling to their daddy for as he
appears at the gate? What would
Christmas be without crate Of chew
ing-gum peeping from the top of each
stocking? What would any dinner
party resolve itself into had not the
hostess sufficient Saroir faire to place
stick of gum at each place as a delicate
reminder to her guests that one can
never be sure Just what goes on in the
kitchen, and that it is better TO be safe
than sorry?
It is for these benefits to our national
life that we should at this time give
some tangible evidence of appreciation.
Granted that Shakespeare had talent.
Granted that his lines have been more
misquoted than the lines of any other
author, and that whatever play of his
you want from the library is always out.
But these are no reasons why the ami
versary of his death should be cele-
brated with special rotogravure sections
and bowling matches while the anniver-
sary of the birth Of truly American in
stitution should go unnoticed. America
for Americans American celebration
for American celebrities At this time,
when nothing but intense, fresh-every-
hour patriotism will win the day, let US
turn our plaudits to our native genius.

TOLD away the canoples of the
II Shakespeare Masque; break up
- the type in the special-feature
stories of shakespeare Heroines" and
clear the stage of all the trappings Incl
dent to the Tercentenary, for the Big
Anniversary of 1916 is at hand. Fifty
years ago this month chewing gum be-
came an American Issue.
Among the honest proletariat of
America Shakespeare has won his thou
sands, but chewing-gum has won its Cor
herr tens of thousands, and it is no more
than right that it should have official
recognition at this time.
There is a delightful little vagary of
fate in the coincidence of the fftieth
birthday of chewing-gum falling in
year of personal unpleasantness with
Mexico, for it was from Mexico that the
United States received the first intima-
ton of its national destiny. 1t was in
the form of a little brown wad of chew
able chicle, brought to New York in 1866
by that crafty political ring of Mexico,
Santa Anna. If for nothing else than
the memory of this importation, there
would be sufficient ground for what one
newspaper has so aptly termed "a deli
cate situation" on the border.
On one Of his campaign tours for Re-
vOlving President Of Mexico, General
Santa Anna went in June, 1865, to con-
fer with friend at Snug Harbor, Staten
Island. Little realizing what moment
Gus results were to attend his action,
New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1916-06-11

Plans for the celebration of the Fiji
tieth Anniversary of the birth of Chicle
Chewing Gum are already under advise
ment in a Committee on Arrangements
appointed by a Committee on Appoint
ments which came as the result of a
meeting of the Executive Committee last
month. The Committee on Publicity
has given out the following tentative
programme as arranged by the Enter
tainment Committee:
On the first day there will be pa
geant, participated in by all the school
children of the country simultaneously
in their respective school buildings. At
the door to each school room will be
waste basket, suitably decorated with
the school colors, and presided over by
q teacher. The pupils will march in In
dian file past the basket, each depositing
a wad of gum therein and then pass on
to their seats. This pretty little folk
step has been practised for many years
by individual members Of the classes,
but this is the first time that the spirit
of the thing has been crystallized into
a community affair.
There will then be a masque of ire
mendous proportions, representing in
historical form all the caSuS belH fur
nished this country by Mexico, begin
ring with the Alamo and working up in
intensity of offence to the introduction
of chewing gum by Santa Anna and the
vogue of the Mexican war correspond

ent. This masque is expected to stir
public opinion to sense of its national
honor as nothing else could, and it is
confidently expected that close upon the
performance will come a declaration Of
war with Mexico and at last a mainte-
nance of American rights.
Coincident with the masque will be
solemnized the laying of the cornerstone
of the new Seven Points Mission on the
site of the old mission of the same name
minus two.
A monster parade will close the cele-
bration, and it is estimated that it will
take three days for it to pass the review
ing stand In fact, it is doubtful if it
ever passes it, as the stand is 10 be 10
Gated on side street not on the line of
march. Headed by the surviving gum
chewers of 1866, some of them the very
ones to whom, as children, the first
chicle gum was given as bonus for
buying candy, the parade will include in
its ranks representatives of every pro-
fession in industry, including baseball
players. On being interviewed after the
parade General Wood will say: TT was
nothing short Of inspiring and only goes
TO show that every red-blooded Ameri~
can is back of this movement"
And if you doubt it, stand in the SUBJ
way some night and watch the people
opposite chewing gum. You will be-
come so interested that you will forget
to chew your own.

ing, Notwithstanding teeth-preserv-
ing, digestion-aiding, Misunderstanding,

gum.
One day as they sat round the dissect-
ing table gazing hopelessly at the def
ant mass of chicle some one said in a
pet that the only thing the darn stuff
was good for apparently was to be
chewed. And Mr.. Adams, being of that
type of men pictured in the encyclopaedia
advertisements who have, without a col
ege education, worked their way from
a line-cut fadeaway in the background,
representing barefoot boy to half
tone picture of a man in a two-button
sack-suit, with his hand on an open vol
ume, Immediately answered back with,
We'll fight it out on this line if it takes
all summer" or Millions for defence,
but not one cent for tribute" or some
such historical phrase, and the manufac-
ture of chewing-gum from chicle was
begun.
In little house on Palisade Avenue,
Jersey City, with capital investment OF
thirty-fve dollars, the Adamses pere ct
fills, started what might be called the
greatest national movement America
has ever seen-the jaw movement.
The chicle was boiled on an ordinary
cook-stove, like molasses candy, until it
had the consistency of bread dough,
when it was rolled into long strips and
cut off in intersections. These were
hardened in cold water and packed
hundred in a box, and the thing was
done.
The chewing Of gum in the early days
of its manufacture was more matter
Of conscientious application to the work
at hand than it is to-day, for there was
no such thing as flavoring to help along
the delusion of having a good time. 1t
was just chewing for chewing's sake.
and the pioneers who gave their time
and energy without even trace OF
spearmint or blood-orange reward de-
serve all the praise due to men and
women who blaze the trail for those who
follow in effete enjoyment of the fruits
of their hardships
1t was necessary at first to give away
the pieces of gum with purchases OF
candy, so that the children might have
a chance to take it home and try it over
on their piazzas, with the idea that they
would soon come back for more. once
they discovered what a source of annoy
ance it became to their elders. The psy
chology of this scheme was perfect, for
the first retailer who tried it was be-
sieged on the following day by young
sters from the neighboring school, clam
oring for more gum. In sheer self-de-
fence the parents took to chewing it also
and the habit was on.
