WHAT CHICLE IS
Where It Comes From

quantities of chicle up to 1889, when the large cutting shifted to the east side of the peninsula of Yucatan, bordering on the Carribean sea. At a later period the hunters moved toward the interior of the peninsula. The principal shipping ports today are Campeche. Belize, Laguna and Ciudad del Carmen.
 All of the American manufacturers of chewing gum bought chicle in the open market until 1899, when the American Chicle company was formed | by the leading makers of gum.
 At that period the extent of the American chewing gum business war ranted a conservation of the sources of supply. The Mexican government i offered chicle land concessions, which were taken over by the American | Chicle company, and which are still
 maintained. They not only conserve the lands and prevent a slaughtering of the valuable trees, but they yield a | large revenue to the government and place chicle in, the category of @ staple product.

During the Third Liberty Loan drive no one worked harder than William $. Hart. the famous moving picture star. Upon his arrival in Salt Lake City he was asked what car he preferred to use during his stay and his immediate response was "Oldsmobile.''
 In explaining that he is an enthus- iastic Oldsmobile owner. Mr. Hart said: "The life of any motion picture star is perilous and strenuous. Some times I have been compelled to take desperate chances with motor cars and I have to be absolutely sure that the car I am driving can be absolutely depended upon.
 For that reason I use an Oldsmobile in my work. I have found it sensi-

 TIRE BIG ASSET
 ID TRANSPORTATION

Twenty years ago if all the rail- roads had suddenly stopped running, American business would have imme- diately been demOralized. says Ed Rudolph, Firestone agent in Phoenix and Glendale Factories would have shut down. thousands of families would have suffered the bangs ot hunger and business would have been at a standstill.
 Such a situation could not exist today. This is the age of the rubber tired vehicle. True, transportation would receive a severe jolt with the sudden loss of our railroads, but the tie-up would only be temporary. In few weeks motor truck lines would be running back and forth from coast to coast on a regular schedule.
 What the truck is to transportation the tire is to the truck. As an open switch or a dislodged rail would hold

Business We'll Organized

Scores of chicleIoS are injured and many are killed every year. Quite fre- quently a man will leave camp in the morning and never return. In the early days of the industry the loss of a man now and then amounted to lit tie. His fellow workers would not go to the trouble to hunt for him. Time has changed these crude conditions, and chicle gathering is now a well-or- ganized business carried on with Sys- tenn by expert chicleros under the di- rection of Americans.
 It was perfectly natural for the pio- neer chicle gatherers to seek cuttings near the Gulf coast or along a river which offered transportation by boat to the ports of Campeche or Vera Cruz. The first big cutting, opened after 1866, was in the TuXpam Valley, in the state of Vera Cruz. When this distrlcy was temporarily exhausted, the chicle hunters moved to the west side of the peninsula of Yucatan, where they found another productive field, ac- cessible to the port of Ciudad del Car men. This section produced large

tive to control, absolutely reliable in construction and powerful and speedy enough to meet every requirement.
 T have driven my Oldsmobile hard enough to have put any ordinary car on the scrap heap long ago. As you know, the characters I generally DOT tray are western. Now, western set tings, however beautiful and pictur- esque they may be, are not designed by nature to be very tender with mo tor cars. You can easily imagine therefore, the usage to which my Oldsmobile has been subjected. and why. after it's long service, I have such a high regard for it."
 Such high praise is pleasant, oi course. But even more pleasing ar, the reports from all over the coun- try telling how well Oldsmobile served in the recent successful Lib erty Loan drive.

GEAR NOISES

Most of the ills of the motor car are indicated by audible symptoms. A weaving noise in the differential case may be taken as an indication that the master bevel gear of the unit is running out of alignment. A slight catch. which occurs several times during each revolution of the driving wheels, is the sign of a chipped tooth in the drive shaft pinion or ring gear.

DESIGNATING THE CITIES

A writer in Vanity Fair describes Troy. N. Y. as "a laundry on the banks of the Hudson river" With this as a cue other cities might be characterized as follows: Chicago, a slaughter house at the head of Lake Michigan. Detroit, garage located on the De- troit river.
 Denver, a sanitarium near the foot hills of the Rockies.
 New York, a playground on Man. haitian Island. Milwaukee. brewery on the west shore of Lake Michigan.

EXERCISE CAUTION

If the Dispatch knew how to i'm
press on every one the. necessity of
! care, even extreme caution, in the
m tier of dsparaging remarks about
| local citizens of foreign paTentage, es-
pecially of German parentage, and Ger
man birth. If would gladly perform
this service but any effort viii incur
| the risk 81 being misunderstood and
misjudged. Recent instances of sad
diocomfort for those who are here
, among us foreign Born and of German
birth, have been revealed. More are
yet to come, Tor there seems an in
creasing tendency to strike with an
uukindness that will eventually prove
intolerable.
Loyal local citizens of German
birth and German parentage should be
accorded the rights of citz~ns. They
have right to expect this much. A
person Of German birth who has
chosen American citizenship and re-
mains here from choice long enough
to reveal his sincerely, ought at least
to enjoy enough Of the confidence of
his fellows to be deemed to some eX-
tent loyal.
The caution that is exercised against
an alien elsewhere might apply in this
community for none of us are assured
that an alien viii not come in and try
10 do something that win hinder the
progress OF work to aid in the prose
culion of the war Too great care can
| net be exercised Our own local citiz-
ems of foreign birth and parentage
should be regarded with wide diff
ference, for their acts generally show
their loyalty.
On the other hand. citizens of for
eign birth or parentage have most
delicate and important duty deyolying
upon them. Every act every step,
every word. viii be weighed and some
body will make mischief of it, no mat
ter how innocent or unsuspecting
For his own safety citizen Of German
birth cannot even resent what is
said about his loyalty But if such a
citizen is cautious, he viii have pro
lection against injustices imposed by
the unthinking.

be rather lonely.

| Messages coming back from those
already in the trenches indicate that
they are busy, very busy and for that
reason some of the lonliness must
wear off, but the 1etter from home is
one Of the most encouraging of all the
little side pleasures. One of the SER
vices that will count for much is that
to be rendered by the young ladies Of
the Baptist church who have consent
ed to see that the home boys have
regular letters.
Their effort should not stop with
the boys who are in the war from the
ranks of the Baptist church and Sun
day school. The others all of them, no
matter from whence they came, so
they are our boys, should have the
same kindly treatment, for they de-
serve it. The regular letter from home
is Of vast importance to the soldier
boy, while on the other hand it is but
very small duty we are to perform
in seeing to it that the letter goes with
regularity.
Other community interests are al
ready organized in this letter writing
for the soldiers 1t is proving a great
comfort to the men in the army The
letters invariably reveal they must
reveal to the soldiers some small bit
of the appreciation of these back at
home. If that is kept up, it indeed a
service rendered.
