SINGER WAS A BISCUIT PACKER

USUALLY we are inclined to give
~ too much credit to chance or
luck in analyzing the success OF
prominent people, forgetting that
without the talent TO take advantage
of an unexpected opportunity they
could not have risen. Helen Nor
gan's sudden rise to fame is an ex-
ample.
Born in Danville, Illinois, her IA
ther died when she was very young,
leaving Helen Morgan and her
mother practically penniless. When
she was five years old, paint thrown
by another child partially blinded
her, and she had to spend full
year in dark room. She sang to
herself to pass the long dark hours
and later she sang in a church choir
in Chicago. There, she worked as
a manicurist, waitress, a comp
tometer operator, and model. She
was ribbon clerk at Marshall
Fields department store and bis
cult packer for the National Biscuit
company. None of her jobs lasted
long, for her eyes were always on
the stage. She sang occasionally IN
cabarets and finally got a job
through Ziegfeld in the chorus of
Sally" Dissatisfied, she quit, and
Billy Rose hired her to sing in his
Backstage club.
That was Helen Morgan's lucky
chance. The Backstage club was
SO small that she was forced to sit
on the pianol Most of us would con-
slider it a disadvantage, and per-
haps she did, too. But the public
was interested; she became a sem
sation, and speedily rose to fame.
Musical comedies and motion pic
lures starred her, and soon she was
singing in a night club named for
her, at salary of 81, 500 per week.
Today she is known the world over
and, wherever she appears, sings
sitting on the piano.
Perhaps, if Helen Morgan had not
had to sit on the piano in the Back.
stage club, she would never have
risen to stardom. Perhaps, she
would have sung comparatively un
known for a couple of years, anc
gone back to manicuring or biscuit
packing But. remember, she hac
something worth delivering wher
she sat on that piano.

Where Chewing Gum Came
From

= UNI chewing is undoubtedly
~ Americas favorite indoor sport.
Although foreigners never tire of
sneering at its vulgarity, we COM
placently consume billions of sticks
every year.
The best chewing gum is made
from the chiclezapote tree in Mex
leo. Its gum was used for centuries
by the plains Indians there, who
chewed it to keep their throats from
becoming parched when they could
get no water But it was unknown to
Americans until about 1870, when
lump fell into the hands of Thomas
Adams, a Staten Island photog-
rapher.
BY nature, Adams was a Get
rich-quick-Wal Wallingford," always on
the lookout for quick way to make
fortune. His first idea was that
he had found a new substitute for
rubber, but extended experiments
forced him to give the idea up as inn
practical. A lot of useless stock was
left on his hands, on which he had
spent practically his last nickel.
One day he happened to pick up
bit of the gum and chew it. To
his surprise, it was very pleasant
to the taste. Right then and there,
he decided to go into the chewing
gum business.
He set up small shop and cold
his product to nearby dealers. Or
ders began to pour in, and in a few
years the fad had swept the nation.
When he died he left his four sons
independently rich.
