CIGAR FROM "CRICKET."
of Word Traved to In
sect.

From the Pathfinder.
The Spanish word for cigar is "ci-
garro." "Cigarro" is believed TO be only
gender variation of "cigarra" which in
Spanish means the cicada or tree
cricket. The early Spaniards thought
they saw a resemblance in the roll Of
tobacco and the tree cricket which is
cylindrical in form with a conical apex
Barcia. the Spanish photographer, says
the cigar has the form Of a cicada Of
paper"
This view OF the derivation of cigar"
is supported by Murrays New English
dictionary and the Webster's Interna-
tional. The theory that it is derived
from native West Indian word has
been abandoned. Cigarette" is merely
diminutive of cigar" Literally 1t
means little cigar"

had been shot through the heart at
close range. He had spent the evening

earlier had visited with his fiance, whom
he was to marry the following day.

Roanoke, Va, June IS R-Wi:h nominees in the field for governor and attorney general. and provision made to cooperate with other states where similar groups might desire to make the 1928 break with the democratic party permanent. Vir- ginia anti-Smith democrats today looked to the republican convention in Richmond. June 26, for support of their effort to wrest control of the state government from the dem- ocrats.
 Supported By Republicans
 Dr. William Moseley Brown. the Washington and Lee professor nom- mated for governor by the anti Smith democrats in state convention here yesterday, was known to have the support of several of the most active leaders in the republican state organization. No mention of expected republican support came from the convention here. but Dr. Brown. in his pre-convention state ment. had expressed willingness to run as an independent if nominated by both conventions.
 Dr. Brown and Captain c. z. Berkeley, the nominee for attorney general. expect to conduct a vigor- ous campaign in every section of Virginia. It was stated that the cam paien would prOba bly not get actively under way. at least the speaking part of it, until after the August democratic primary.
 The anti-Smith convention failed to nominate a candidate for lieuten- ant governor, although the executive tive committee was empowered to do so later if deemed advisable. This was taken by many observers as in- dicating that republican nominee might draw the anti-Smith support.

other republicans from the north west agricultural states vehemently opposed the presidents views on debentures and by lining up with sn almost united democratic minority were abe to win control so far as the senate was concerned.
 Borah Plan Killed
 This combination held together again when Senator Borah proposed to restrict tariff revision in the sen- ate to agricultural and related pro- ducts instead of permitting the gen. eral revision of schedules voted by the house. That proposal was defeat- ed by a single vote and the ballot was taken to presage another close contest after the tariff measure reaches the senate.
 Efforts will be concentrated when the senate reassembles on passage of the tariff bill before the regular ses- sion opens in December, but. among many other obstacles. the debenture dispute will have to be settled again. The plan already has been placed before the senate as an amendment to the tariff bill by Senator Norris, republican. Nebraska, and other members are planning similar pro- posals designed to reduce the oppo- sition of the house.
 Wind Up Speeches
 The closing hours today were ded- icated by Senator Watson, of lndl- ana, the republican leader, chiefly 10 consideration of pending nomlna- tions and wind-up speeches. The nominations included those of Emil Helburn as collector of customs at Louisville, Kentucky, and Albert l.. Watson. as judge of the middle dis trict of Pennsylvania. both of which have faced opposition.
 After years of wrangling, the sen- ate finally approved a modification of it's rules yesterday to permit the consideration of such nominations in open session upon majority vote rather than by the two-thirds ma jority now required for such pro- cedure. It voted. 39 to 34, against making public roll calls taken in executive session.

Raises White Flag

Astoria, Ore, June 1s ReA tat tered square of dirty white cloth nuttering above the wreck of the freighter Laurel on Peacock Spit near the mouth of the Columbia river, today convinced rescue work CTS that Capt. Louis Johnson. mas ter of the ill-fated ship, at last had decided to abandon his broken craft.
 Captain Johnson has been aboard the after portion of the ship since early Sunday. when it was driven ashore by 'resistless breakers md broken in two. One member of the crew lost his life and 30 others were taken of n groups but Captain Johnson sternly refused to leave.
 Ordered on Wreck
 The gritty skipper stuck to ny wreck even after agents of the States Line, owners of the Laurel. had issued orders for him to aban- don ship. Several efforts were made by coast guardsmen and others along the shore to coax Johnson off. but he remained. presumably to prevent anyone else laying claim to salvage.
 Shore watchers at dusk last night saw Johnson wearing life belt, emerged from the wireless shack above the bridge and work his way through the flying spray to the top of the superstructure. Then a lonx pole was raised and the breeze un- furled the bit of significant cloth.
 But this sign of surrender brought the skipper no nearer the shore. Coast guardsmen were powerless to combat the heavy swells which fol- lowed the two day blow--swells that crashed over the rocking portion of the vessel upon which Johnson stood his ground. Efforts to take him of were abandoned until this morning.
 COnyint ed Plan Hopeless
 Coast guardsmen believe that Johnson's experience during the 66 mile an h.'ur gale Monday night which moved the wreck to a point some 500 yards north and slightly to the seaward of its position the day before. convinced him that he must relinquish his post.
 The gale. one of the worst ever experienced on this section of the
