The dingo, a stout, leanly built doglike marsupial native to Australia, puzzles biologists with its heritage. It ranges around 11 inches tall, 18 inches to 24 inches long, notes Frederic J.

Sap of Sapadilla Tree Chewing Gum Ingredient Crisis
A Philadelphia Record writer warns that blight would devastate chicle sap from the sapadilla tree, the key ingredient in chewing gum. Central American chicleros extract sap during the rainy season, then ships it to U.S. factories where it is boiled, molded, and processed into bricks, rolled gum, and finished packs. British Honduras serves as a hub for chicle contractors.
