ENGLAND NOW CHEWING GUM
Foreigners for Years Refused to Adopt
American Product, but Situation
Suddenly Has Changed.

For great many years American
chewing gum manufacturers have en-
deavored to teach foreign countries to
appreciate their product. The stuff
that wags the American jaw has been
advertised assiduously IN France, Eng
land and Germany, but with small
success. The non-American couldn't
understand II. He tried to swallow II,
and when he couldn't he gave 1t up
as incomprehenslble nonsense. Over
in London, where 1t was called "Amerl-
can Chewing Candy" many shops
called attention to 1t, but the British
ers passed 1t by and went on buy
Ing toifee and lolllpops and Turkish
delight.
Suddenly, and without warning, the
situation has changed. Remarkable
figures recently published appear to in
dicate that England has incontlnently
become nation of gum chewers.
Manufacturers report that within six
months they have increased. their
monthly sales from 100000 to 10000
600 sticks. And the English newspa-
pers cannot understand II.
The explanation seems simple. 1t Is
said that the largest amount of chew
ing gum is used in the army, and the
next largest amount In the navy. Dur
ing the last great advance, 1t was Is
sued as an army ration. Somehow or
other the soldiers discovered that II
steadied their nerves ito have some
thing to chew on In time of stress;
and of course 1t has the effect of
keeping the parched throat moist. It
is more than probable that the Cana
dian soldier impaired this information
to the English Tommies-and expert
ence did the rest.-Cleveland Plain
Dealer.

again. There was maddenlng sort Of

there was nothing to be done about it.

That remark stung Rodney out of his
long silence. During the whole Of Ran
dolph's recital Of his encounter with
Rose he'd never once lifted his eyes
from the gray ash of his cigar. He
didn't want TO look ut Randolph, nor
think about him. Just wanted to re-
member every word he said, so that he
could carry the picture away intact.

1t was quite true that Rodney had

found that James Randolph was one

she guessed, gave him sort of shield
against the doctor. SO one evening
about nine o'clock he slipped out and
walked around to the new house which
Berthe Willis had built for Eleanor.
Rodney reflected, as he stood at the
