LOS ANGELES, Sept. 3O.-Four mem
bers of the crew Of the navy dirigible
Go were severely injured day, when
the craft became lost in fog, hit the
side of Laurel Canyon, in the Santa
Monica Mountains, near Hollywood,
and rolled 200 feet down the steep
slope before sharp crags tore hole
in the gas bag and it collapsed.
The cab of the dirigible, travelling
forty miles an hour, struck the noun
tain ridge and was torn loose from it's
hangers. Immediately the big gas bag
began to fall, and dragged the damaged
cab down the precipitous sides of the
canyon. The crew of five were carried
along with the wreckage until the gas
bag fin y collapsed.
Pilot Explains Accident
Lieutenant Gordon Mcdonald, the
pilot, explained the accident as follows:

morning, bound for the big war game

which extended from the surface up to

we were travelling it was impossible
The fog shut out everything just like a

Eugene Fry, chief machinists mate,

THE ROMANCE OF WORDS
"cIGAR."

4 y L NJ 3 f X Of prominent
IA etymOlOgists, among them
Littre, have endeavored to prove
the word "cigar" is derived from
the Spanish cigarra, meaning
grasshopper, and that it was
applied to the relied leaves Of
tobacco by reason of their simi-
larity in shape to the body of
this insect. This explanation,
while ingenious, hardly fits the
facts in the case, for when to-
bacco was first introduced into
Spain from Cuba. it was grown
in gardens or cigarrales, as the
Spanish call them. +.
The wealthier Spaniards had
a fad Of raising tobacco in their
cigarrales and making their own
cigars. which they would proffer
with the explanation 'Es de mi
cigarral" (''It is from my gar
den' as proof that the tobacco
was wholesome and home
grOwn). Before long the express
sion changed to Este cigarro eS
di mi cigarral," which might be
literally translated, 'This gar
den product from my garden"
and it was from this that the
word "cigar" originated.
However. in the final analysis,
the grasshopper does have
something to do with it-for the
Spanish "cigarral" or ''gurden"
is so-called because 1T is the
place where the grasshopper
("cigarra") resides.

We are none of us likely to go into

If a sailor dreams of sheep it means
great luck and safe and prosperous
voyage to him. If you see yourself
shearing sheep it is an indication that
you will shortly make money by a
business enterprise, though, accord
ing to some of the wiseacres. it means
that you will have to struggle hard
for this success. But it isn't good to
see the sheep running away from you,
for that indicates that some of your
pretended friends are really trying to

your guard. Also it is bad sign to
hear the lambs baa or to see them
killed. If you see your flock of dream
sheep lean and scraggy look out for

would profit by them.
