MEN ARE P1EFACES AT GOODYEAR PLANT; EAT 1,200 EACH DAY Men have a "sweeter tooth" than women. Male workers at the Goodyear Tiro & Rubber company, especially in the factory, generally eat two pieces of pie at every meal.

Estimating that each pie is cut in six pieces SO per cent of the thousands fed daily at Goodyear call for the New England dessert. That means that 300.000 pies are consumed annually 1.S00.000 slices. As a tip to housewives "open" pies are most popular. That means pies with but ine crust, such as the cream and custard varieties. What's the most called-for kind? None evidently pie is pie and all kinds are "licking" good. Eight kinds are made daily and there's none left over. Pie-plate cleaning calls for the least work of any job in Goodyear.
