When were cigars first smoked? Ac-
cording to French authority, the weed
In this shape was not introduced into
France till the return of the French
army from Spain in 1923. This fact Is
on the authority of Hippolyte Anger.
the dramatic author, who writes thus
in his memoirs:
Our return from Paris was by way
Of Orleans. On the route we met
quite frequently officers returning from
Spain. They had generally cigars in
their mouths-a new habit, since be.
come general From this point of view
the campaign Of 1923 had the good
financial result Of establishing new
branch of import trade"
Another document, however, carries
back the use of the cigar to slightly
earlier period. The Hermit Of the
Chassee dAntin," 1913, going to see
his nephew, young officer at Paris,
finds him at his hotel in morning cos
tune and smoking a Havana cigar
The taste for cigars seems at this time
to have been sufficiently extended to
make them common article in the

Rules That Govern tho Display Of
the National Emblem.
The government regulations provide
that on the death Of president in Of
fee its flag shall be displayed at half
mast only one day. H},
In memory of the soldiers who lost
their lives during the civil war, on
May 80, Memorial day, each year the
United States displays Its dag at half
staff at all army posts, stations and
national cemeteries from sunrise until
midday. Immediately before noon a
dirge Is played by the band or field
music, and the national salute Of twen-
ty-one guns is fred. At the conclusion
Of this memorial tribute at noon the
flag is hoisted to the top Of the stan
and remains there until sunset. The
idea is that the national ensign Is too
sacred ar object to be long In mourn
ing for any man or number of men, no
matter how exalted their rank.
The flag reversed, with the union
down, indicates distress. The flag on
anything but fort actually besieged
should never be displayed between sun
set and sunrise.
When the nag Is to be displayed at
half mast 1t Is lowered to that position
from the top of the staff. It is hoisted
to the top before it is finally lowered

A POOR FILTER.
Why One Central American Town
Had Rad Drinking Water.

Here is an incident that illustrates
the unexpected difficulties which en-
terprise has sometimes to face IN GER
tain regions of Central America: From
a certain large lake an Important town
drew its supply of water. BY means
of powerful steam driven pumps the
water was drawn from the lake
through a strong iron pipe, which, AFT
er running some eighty or ninety yaros
into the lake from the shore, ended IN
an upward turn, short arm bent at
right angles to the pipe and rising to
within a few feet of the surface. Sud-
denly an epidemic visited the town IN
question. The company's reputation
being threatened, 1t was decided to
straightway pull up the streets and ex-
pose the main pipes and conduits.
The entire system was laid BARE
from the outskirts Of the town to the
very shores Of the lake, but the mlnut-
est examination failed to reveal any
suspicious feature. Then. almost at
their wits end, for the epidemic was
raging as badly as ever, the officials
entered upon the last lap and turned
their attention to the submerged por-
tions of the conduit, and here 1t was
they found the cause. A huge ALL
gator had been drawn toward the
mouth Of the main by the very strong
influx. and, being unable to release
itself from the suction, had remained
there until 1t died, and thus. for good
ness knows how long, all the water
consumed in the town had first filtered
through the decomposed carcass Of the
alligator.
