In the Day's News By FRANK JENKINS As previously related in this space, when Columbus landed in 1492 on the little Caribbean island of San Salvador, he thought it was an outpost of the fabulous Indies-so he call ed the Salvadorean natives In dians. The name has stuck ever since. But San Salvador was a very small speck of land -and Marco Polo, one of the early world travelers, had de scribed the Indies (Cathay was the name he used) as a very large country. So Columbus set out to find bigger land. His search led him to Cuba, which was bigger than San Salvador - so much bigger, in fact, that Columbus thought he had it made. With an escort from his ships, he headed inland seek ing the city of Peking and the Emporor of China, so Hint he might present to him a let ter of introduction from Kins Ferdinand and Queen Isabel la of Spain. HE DIDN'T find the emperor of China, but he did find men SMOKING CIGARS. The cigar business, you see, is an old business in Cuba. It was 470 years ago that Columbus, the first Cuban tourist, paid his visit to the Pearl of the Antilles. Another story has it that in addition to tobacco leaves rolled into a cylinder Colum bus found the Cuban natives smoking Y-shaped pipes. Tbey put the tops of the Y-shaped tubes in their nostrils. The burning tobacco was in the hollow stem of the Y, and the natives inhaled the smoke. The pipe was called a "ta baca." Hence the origin of the word tobacco. INHERE is no record to indi cate that Columbus brought home any of the fragrant leaves, but a century and a quarter later the first English settlement in the New World was founded at James town, in Virginia, and here the English settlers found the Indians smoking this same weed that Columbus had re ported from Cuba. John Rolfe, who married the Indian Princess Pocahon tas and took her home to Eng land, where she became a so cial sensation, learned the to bacco habit from his Indian relatives by marriage, and car ried it home to England with him. He smoked his tobacco in a conventional pipe with a long stem, and most school children are familiar with the tale that his valet came in one day and was shocked to find smoke pouring from his mas ter's mouth and nose. Horrl fied (or so the story goes), the servant dashed out of the room and came back with a pitcher of water which he poured over Rolfe's head to put out the fire. SO FAR in the history books, the smoking of tobacco seems to have been confined to pipes or the cigars rolled from tobacco leaves reported by Columbus from Cuba. That brings up cigarettes. How did they get started.' OWE STORY goes that in the Crimean War - it was at the battle of Balaklava, in the Crimean War, that the Six Hundred made their famous charge ("Into the Valley of Death rode the Six Hundred") -that English and French of ficers found the Turks smok ing "little cigars" made of tobacco wrapped in paper. (The Turks, incidentally, "rolled their own.") The French officers prompt ly named them cigar-ettes -the suffix "ette" being a dim inutive in French - meaning "little cigars.' So there you have the story of how cigarettes came into the world. TT MIGHT be aded here that "- if Columbus had thought of the idea of making cigarettes out of the stuff the Cubans were smoking and then had thought up a scheme of TAX ING them, he might have made his trip to the Caribbean islands more profitable to Ferdinand and Isabella than all the gold found later by the Spaniards in Mexico and Peru.
