FIRST KNOWN USE OF CIGARS
Mentioned by Name In Book Published
In 1740, but Were Smoked Be-
fore That Time.

The earliest known mention Of
cigars is In book published in 1740
under the title of "Distresses and
Adventures of John Cockburn." 1t ap-
pears that Cockburn was cast on des-
ert island in the Bay Of Honduras.
from which he swan to the mainland,
and thence Travelled afoot to Porto
Bello. a distance of 1900 miles. Here
he met some friars who gave him
some "seegars" to smoke. These"
he says, "are some leaves of tobacco
rolled up in some manner that serves
both as pipe and the tobacco ITSELF
Though this is the earliest date at
which cigars appear to be mentioned
BY that name. so far back as 1893
two soldiers sent. by Columbus to ex-
plore Cuba told their companions on
their return how the natives carried
in their mouths a lighted firebrand
made from the leaves of a certain
herb. rolled up In maize leaves. The
description of an Indian method OF
smoking given by Lionel Wafer, in
his Travels in the Isthmus of
Darien." in 1909. shows that they
then smoked cigars made just as we
make them now. The manufacture
and consumption of cigars in northern
Europe only dates from the close OF
the seventeenth century.

who was then project of police, stated
that 10000 aliens were settled in the
capital. Today, according to the Of

WILL REBUILD REIMS

ruins. For The reconstruction of the
city 20 complete plans have been sub
mitted by leading architects of Paris,
Reims and other French cities. No one
plan will be adopted. but the city will
pick out of each the features that seem
the most desirable and arrive at a final
plan which will be approved by the
city council.
Among the details already decided
upon are big, broad streets for the
principal arteries; workingmen's quar-
tiers. with gardens, and three series of
bouleyards, like those of Paris and
Brussels, forming complete circles,
there being one inner circle of boule-
wards, then a middle circle and finally
an outer circle.
1t also has been decided that the
buildings encircling the cathedral
nearly all of which are now in a com.
plete state of demolition, will be
cleared out entirely In order that the
cathedral may occupy vast open
square where all OF its beauty may be
! seen from any point.

Schools Found Ready.
1--WE looked about us, first of all, for
facilities where this matter OF edu-

schools? We did not. We found that
in the United States there were $780,

that there was not principal nor an
instructor in any school who was not
eager to take up his share OF re-edu-

Paris-Mysteriously steadily, bra.
zenly in defiance of a law of the
land. the Germans are reappearing in
Paris. They are living without dis
guise in the capital, still technically an
armed camp of war. In greater num-
Der, in holder manner, they are living
in the outlying districts, just beyond
the Notifications.
They are resuming the proprietor
ship of small cafes-as by magic they
are popping up with smiles behind the
little zinc bars from which they disap-
peared SO precipitately in 1914.
Whence came they? Have they been
hiding in their own wine cellars
throughout the last four years?

stores-only that's not the name for
them in France-and little businesses
of all sorts. They are now freely en-
gaging in the supply trade-it has
been found that throughout the long
hostilities many Germans who had sue
ceeded in remaining in French terri
tory had piled their business of fur
nishing war material to the army.
Scorn for such traitorous swine who
would sell deathproducing stuff for
use against their own countrymen is
minimzed by establishment at the
laxity of the French government in
permitting them such Il practice.
For the last few weeks Paris city
officials have been investigating the
presence of so many Germans, and ii
has been found that while a few have
been in their old haunts without mo-
lestation from the police during the
war period the greater number have
been drifting in through the Swiss
frontier since the signing of the
armistice.
At present the hands of the police
are completely tied by the fact that
90 per cent of the Germans who re-
manned or have been drifting back are
naturalized as Frenchmen, and the
chamber, with characteristic procras-
tination. keeps putting off passage of
the proper measures to take this nat
uralization from the Germans and per
