Sweets Growing More
Popular in America

Washington.-Fath and mothers
seem to be getting more indulgeat In
the United States, or else the fathers
and mothers themselves are consum-
ing more candy, chewing gum and Ice
cream, because the production Of
these three children's favorites is set
ting new altitude records nearly ev-
cry year. The Commerce depart
ment's census Of manufactures dis
closes tremendous increases which
small boys will find hard to believe.
Comparing 1914 figures with those for
1925, the following was set forth:
The nation now produces $685.
600 worth of chewing gum, compared
with the pre-war figure Of $17,000,0 900,
and the product still sells for nickel
a package.
The ice cream bill Is 1886, 175, 1886 a
year, compared with $55,9S3, 1873 in
1914.
Candy costs S379,Os1, All, compared
with $153,685,523 in 1914.
This present bill of $7OO,O0O,OOO or
more-about $50 annually per small
boy-if small boys got all of 1t
doesn't represent all the money spent
by dad and sisters sheik, either, for
these figures are wholesale prices.
Retail prices will boost these three
industries into the $1,000,000,O 00-a-
year figure, experts believe.
The increases are variously attrib-
uted to prohibition. advertising, In
creasing export trade, and the at
tempt Of the factories to catch up
with the appetites Of small boys and
high school girls.
