There is still chance for the retail
dealer who has neglected to pay the
special war tax on the sale of tobacco
to escape the penalty of so per cent
increase and possible prosecution for
violation of the law. Internal revenue
officials state that a general order has
been issued from Washington, in
penalty until further notice. Just how
long dealers who have not paid the
tax will be given to make good was
not stated in the order.
According to revenue officials there
are many dealers who have not paid
the tax, basing their calculations on
the estimated number in the district
and the number who have already
paid 1t is asserted that this same
condition obtains in other parts of
the country where retailers have
either been neglectful or, owing to
the tremendous rush for stamps and
tax blanks, have been unable to pay
the tobacco tax or purchase stamps.
Considerable confusion still exists
as to the exact requirements Of the
war revenue measure and the COM
missioner of internal revenue at
| Washington is being deluged with re-
quests for rulings on disputed points
which the law does not make entirely
clear. Owing to this fact, there was
some talk of introducing an emergency
measure in congress extending the
time for payment of the tax, which
move, however, has not as yet mate
rallied.
There appears to have been some
misunderstanding among dealers as to
certain provisions of the law as to
the sale of gum. 1t is specifically held
that gum must be sold from the "orig
inal containers"-that is, the box OF
package in which the gum comes from
the manufacturer. If a manufacturer
packs chewing gum in glass jars con
tanning specified number of pieces
the gum may then be sold from the
jar after stamps have been affixed II
the required amount. Dealers are MOI
allowed to repack from boxes to jart
or vice versa and offer the gum FOL
sale, however.
It is asserted that toilet soaps come
within the provisions of the law ant
must have stamps affixed because
they are construed to be "cosmeti,
preparations" This will probably b
news to some of the trade at leas
which generally was not aware tina
the law applied to these soaps. A def
mite ruling on the point will probabl!
be asked before manufacturers gen
orally accept the regulation as final.

changes are noted in cured meats this

the situation is rather quiet with the
market firm.

especially as the way to 1t leads
through some of the most interesting
and distinctive country in Holland.
For Aalsmeer lies on the edge Of the
district known as the Haarlemer mere.
rich and fertile tract of land, which
was covered hundred years ago by a
dangerous and stormy inland sea,
formed in the fifteenth century by
floods from the River Rhine and the
Y. . Gradually this great lake spread
till 1t became a menace to Leiden,
HARLEM, Amsterdam and even
Utrecht, and keeping the necessary
dikes and sluices in order became a
heavy burden in labor and expense. 1t
was into these waters that 800 Of the
citizens Of HARLEM were thrown, tied
back to back, in the butchery by the
| Spaniards that took place after it's
siege and capitulation in the winter OF
1923.
Great Engineering Feat.
Draining this large tract of land was
SO great a feat Of engineering that
though 1t was suggested by Dutch
man called Leeghwater as early as the
seventeenth century, it was not under
taken till after 1886, when more
than usually violent storm had caused
great destruction of property from
foods. Even then the scheme was not

actually put into effect till more than
ten years later. 1t took three years
continual pumping to drain the Haar-
lemer Nicer. but the reclaimed land
was quickly taken up by cultivators.
Now it is some of the most fertile
country in Holland. 1t may be easily
distinguished on the map by its being
marked out in squares with blue lines
for the intersecting canals, and even
driving through it the visitor cannot
help noticing the rectilinear character
of it's roads. Straight as they are,
these roads are very pleasant in spring,
especially when they traverse the side
of broad canal fringed with water
plants in flower, yellow iris and pink
towering rush; understanding, unfre-
uuented roads, the haunt of rare birds,
fit prelude to the enchanted village OF
Aalsmeer. Aalsmeer itself is now in
tersected by a road, but at the point
where it crosses a bridge a charming
vista opens on either side. Right and
left, as far as the eye can reach,
stretches the narrow towing-path that
forms the village high-road OF .Aals-
meer, with canals on either side of It.
The houses, which appear sometimes
to be actually encircled by water, are
connected with this tOwing-path by
plank swing bridges. These are so
constructed that a touch from the
nunt-pole of an approaching barge
.onds them back alongside of the bank,
leaving a free passage on the water
way The houses themselves are sur
rounded by trees and trim gardens.
Nothing could be prettier than this vii
age. nothing could have more unique
charm. The people themselves are
uuite in the picture, for these remote
vi,lagers have preserved, in several in
stances. a dignified, beautiful type and
stately and primitive simplicity.
Famed for Its Roses.
Like Aalsmeer, the more modern
water-village of Boskoop has its horti,
cultural industry. Boskoop is every
where famous for it's roses; it is more
accessible and far less poetic than
Aa,smeer. Besides roses, aZaleas and
rhododendrons are grown here; but
roses are the principal product. AL
ready between three and four million
plants are annually produced for sale
and the industry is growing one.
The remote Friesland village of Giet
aoorn is of quite different type. Here
there is no industry to bring 1t into
contact with the outside world, no rail
way, and, except on one side, no road
Tall trees shade its waterways or
sither side, and throw deep green re
asctions upon their still surfaces. The
