vHETHER One be disciple OIL Lduy
w n Nicotine or a member & the Anti,
Tobacco League he will find much
to interest him in recent article in the Ar
gonaut, in which is told the story OF the first
cigarette.
Not Sir Walter Raleigh nor the Indians
were responsible for introducing to man
kind the little white cylinder which Is sold
by the millions throughout the world, which
is condemned as "coffin nail" by some and
looked upon as balm in Gilead by others.
A Turk, declared the Argonaut, gave the
cigarette to the world. This was early in
the nineteenth century, when the Venet1ans
WEIR credited with Introducing bales OF the
weed into Turkey from the Italian tobacco
fields and thus laying the foundation for
the Turkish tobacco industry.
1t was then that Mehemet Ali, an under
paid worker in the tobacco fields of Kavalla,
says the Argonaut, left labor for war, and,
proving himself better man with the sword
than with the hoe, eventually became a
pasta and laid siege to the Syrian fortress
of Acre.
His son, Ibrahim, was in command, and
among other troops in his service had bat
terry of French artillery, the chief of which,
a Frenchman, had invented powder spill
a sort of paper lamp lighter filled with ex-
plosive grains-to thrust into the touch
holes Of the cannon in lieu of the old-fash-
toned and expensive powder train.
Ibrahim Pasha, so the story goes, was so
pleased with the way the siege was progress
ing that he sent the French artillerymen
some fine Kavalla tobacco, and much pleas
ure did they derive from it as they smoked
it mixed with the Syrian weed in the big
narghile, or water pipe, supplied with a
number Of mouth pieces.
One evening, as the crew was about to
go on duty, a shot from the fortress smash
ed the beloved narghile to bits. The artil-
lerymen could not leave the battery, they
had no other narghile, they were in despair.
It was then that resourceful corporal-or
he might have been sergeant or even a
private-was struck with an inspiration. In
number of the paper spills he substituted
grains of tobacco for grains of powder, put
one into his mouth and announced that,
since the narghile was gone and he could
no longer smoke, he would blow off the top
of his head. He applied the match, but, to
| his companions establishment, explosion
followed, only gentle wreaths Of fragrant
smoke curling from his lips and from the
| tip Of the spill. Thus was born the cigarette,
| whether for good or for i'll.

a Gift That Means a Gain

-HE farmers Of America have a special
i interest in the campaign now being
waged for the starving children of Eu-
rope, by reason of the fact that food from
American farms in large part will be bought
by the European Relief Council in its ad-
ministration of whatever funds are given.
american cows will produce the milk
that will save the lives of the children of
Eastern and Central Europe, who will be
given ITO tons of condensed milk every
week." says statement issued by direction
of Herbert Hoover, who is heading the cam
paign. Clogs raised on American farms
will furnish the 1877 tons of lard used each
week and American wheat fields will furnish
the weekly requirement Of 1,716 tons OF
-four
This is one of a number of points in re-
gard to the European Relief fund that make
it appealing to the public quite aside from
the basic and heart-touching proposition
that, unless America does feed these 3,oOo,-
900 children, they will die.
The care and economy with which The
money raised will be spent, is assured by
reason of the splendid personnel in charge
of the campaign. Such men as Mr.. Hoover,
Franklin K Lane and their associates may
be trusted to make every dollar count IL
is said that, if America raises the amount re-
ouested, 1t will furnish but one meal day
them over the period of famine.
Again, every penny given by an American
citizen to this cause will be put directly into
the purchase of food. The expense of trans
portation and distribution will be borne by
the American Relief Council, the old Hoover
organization, and by the countries affected,
who are making every sacrifice to contribute
their share of the burden.
Another most potent argument to per-
suade people to give to the fund has been
advanced by Fritz Kreisler, the violin1st On
the occasion of his recent concert in Allan
ia. Mr.. Kreisler asked this question, 'Can
theSpeople of America imagine the moral
effect that this noble charity will have on
thirty million future European citizens? 1t
establishes a stronghold in their hearts
which can never be destroyed. By saving
these children, America achieves in super
political sense mental and psychic Amerl-
! canization of the future races of Europe
Herein is a most logical argument for the
whole-hearted support of American people
to this worthy movement, an argument,
which, coupled with the fact that much OF
the money will be spent in America for the
profit of American farmers and food deal
ers, would seem to show that the United
States has much, to gain as well as to give
in saving Europe's starving babies.

Twenty shots from twelve-inch mortars
from Battery WORTH Fla, were fired at the
old battleship Massachusetts, last Thursday,
and there were six perfect hits, the first shot
going down the smokestack of the old ship.
Major Smith, chairman of the ordnance
board, was exceedingly pleased tonight at the
result obtained. Later there will be fired
what are known as two and three-inch illu-
minating shells, and each of such charges
will carry about 100000 candlepower.
The shells of the battery weigh 1850
pounds and when they let go the sound is
heard for miles. The program of firing
probably will last for three weeks. The ord
nance board was organized last evening with

Through it's embassy at Washington, France
has Informally notified the United States of
the contemplated invasion of the Ruhr valley
because of the alleged failure of the German
government to affect disarmament in that
district. It was feared that the state depart
ment had not conveyed to the French govern
ment any intimation Of the attitude of the
United States in the event invasion became a
fact. It is known, however, that officials have
not altered their opinion that such action
would be inopportune and not calculated to
improve the future relations between the al
lies and Germany, either politically or eco
nomically.
