STRIKING
Four girls marched at tho head of the 100 strikers from Governor Foss' Hydo Park plant on their way to tho
Massachusetts State houso to demand a public hearing of the stato board of arbitration and conciliation. Recent
ly the governor announced that he would move his plants to Canada. Ho decided that tho strikers, who are
demanding a "living wage," should not enter tho stato house. Fifty policemen were camped in tho corridors of
tho state house, ready for any disturbance or demonstration the strikers might start. Governor Fosh lefused u
public hearing and said "it was an attack by political forces to force him out of politics or out of business."
THE CIGAR'S CAREEH
Has History With Which Few
Smokers Are Familiar.
Was First Seen In New World Na
tives Used Dried Leaves of-the
Tobacco Plant Rolled in a
Corn Shuck.
Washington. Men smoke thought
lessly. By some the cigar is looked on
or puffed as an aid to digestion, as an
aid to reflection or as nothing but a
smoke producer. A great deal of
modern reflection that has achieved re
sults has been with the aid or under
tho Influence of the cigar.
There is no disposition hero to
minimize the influence on mankind of
the pipo or the quid, but the present
main consideration Is the cigar. And
whilo men do so much of their think
ing while cigar smoke wafts and curls
and eddies from their lips and gives
pleasure to their nostrils, is it not
strange that so little of this thinking is
addressed to the cigar that 13, to its
history and to the romance, and all
that which is enfolded and enwrapped
In tho little brown bundle of leaves?
But tso It Is.
Tho cigar has a long history. To
bacco may have been used In cigar
form before it was burned in pipes,
sniffed as snuff or taken as a quid, but
on this point there Is no proof. Two
of tho sailors under Columbus on the
first voyage reported that they had
seen natives of the new found world
with firebrands In their moutliB and
with smoko Issuing from their lips.
It was found that theso natives were
smoking the dried leaves of a plant
hitherto unknown to tho Europeans,
and that the leaves were rolled in a
'V" corn shuck. On the second voraxc of
Columbus natives of the West Indies
were found who pulverized dry to
bacco leaves and snuffed the powder
up their noses.
Tho practice was discovered by a
"Franciscan friar, Roman Pane, who ac
companied Columbus. In tho voyage
of 1502, when Columbus reached tho
mainland of South America, natives
woro found who chowed tho cured leaf
of tho tobacco plant. The use of tho
plant was mibRnquently found to be
universal among tho American ab
origines fromCapo Horn to Hudson
bay, and the custom was immemorial.
But whether tho cigar is senior to
the pipe or quid is a difficult ques
tion. Even If tho first reported use of
tobacco was In tho form of firebrands
it does not follow- that this was tho
oldest form in which tho plant was
used. At the time of the coming of
the Europeans tobacco was consumed
In ono form or another by tho Indians
from panada to Pataganlo, and espe
cially In tho form of smoking. It waa
a habit that had been practiced for
uch ages that the Indians hod no tra
dition as to its origin. s
In an old account of how the Indians
smoked tobacco, as observed by Colum
bus' men, Is this:
"Investigation revealed that tho fire
brands were made from tho leaves of
tobacco, rolled and buried In a sheath
of Indian com, and that the smoko was
Inhaled for sensations ot pleasure and
exhilaration. Tho Instrument used for
Inhaling the smoke was made from hol
low cane, forked in the shape of the
lettor "Y," the small end being insert
ed in the nostrils and the large end ap
plied to the burning leaves."
