Washington-M Modern man per-
petuates an old habit: he likes to
chew tasty concoctions that he has
no intention of swallowing.
Psychologists offer various the
ories for mans widespread delight
in a quid. The practical explana-
tion is that chewing is simply an
easy way to relax or reduce tension
like whistling or doodling.
Gum-chewing, a habit that some
persons enjoy and others deplore,
is considered as modernly Ameri-
can as big league baseball. But
many ancient peoples chewed
sticky substances, the National
Geographic Society says. Archeo-
logists have found hardened gum
among cavemen's relics in the
American Southwest.
When Spanish conquerors splash
ed onto New World shores, they
found the AZtecs chewing chicle,
presumably to steady their nerves.
The word chicle, applied specifical-
ly to the latex of the sapodilla tree,
is an Aztec term for saliva or juice.
Elsewhere in newly discovered
America, Europeans came upon In
dians chewing tobacco leaves. The
plant was taken back to the Old
World and cultivated at first for
medical uses. At one time, the pun
gent leaves were considered a
chewer's panacea for common cold.
toothache, rheumatism, indigestion,
blood poisoning and hydrophobia.
In New England, Indians intro
duced early settlers to the resins
of spruce, cherry and sweet gum
trees. Gum-collecting flourished as
a business
According to legend. an exiled
Mexican general brought chicle 20
the United States in the mid-19th
century A spare-time inventor
first sold it commercially. An in
spired druggist put in flaVoring.
Chicle remained the basic ingredi-
ent of chewing gum until the ad-
vent of synthetics.

BISHOP, Calf, April IS (P.-
A 26-year-old Maryland woman
has bettered the women's world
record for solo gliding by soaring
to an altitude of 4o,160 feet over
the High Sierra Range.
A towplane released Betsy
Woodward of Underwood, Balti-

She pointed her sailplane into
the swift-rising Sierra wave-a
tremendous force of air glancing
upward from the mountains be-
low-and rose to the record
breaking height.
Inside the oXygen-equipped
sailplane a sealed Paragraph re-
corded altitude readings. After
the flight yesterday officials of a
joint UCLA-Air Force team said
the instrument indicated Miss
Woodward's fight had broken
two records.
The previous women's record
for solo gliding was set January

Gaudry of France reached an

cussed there earlier this week by
representatives OF the three serv-
ices involved in rescue operations
along the coast.
In the 5th Naval District,

the three services have such 4
circuit that gives simultaneous
notice to ali. The proposal is
that this system be extended all
