"Do your bit; eat bananas" This
will be the injunction to patriots If DR..
Haven Emerson. Commissioner OF
Health, succeeds in getting the Admin
istration at Washington to recognize
the virtues of the fruit
The Commissioner in a letter 10 Sec
rotary Houston. dwells on every one of
the 1877 calories which. he asserts. lie
dormant in each normal banana. and
expresses the hope "in the excitement
Washington will not lose sight of the
banana"
Bananas" wrote DR.. Emerson. "have
so high a food value that they can he
substituted for such staples as pota-
toes. rice and macaroni. and at present
prices bananas are cheaper When
compared as to the relative and avail
BILE food values il is found that the
average banana is but little below that
of the average sized potato. The pO-
tato. while providing more meaty sub
stance. has about a quarter of the value
in fat that a banana has and but Is

tato has AS calories, the banana 1917"
The absence of waste in transporta-
ton. their availability the year around
and their facile digestibility were adj

Taussig Protests
Against Tax That
May Be Evaded
Reveals Tariff Commits
sion's War Revenue Sug.
gestions Were Ignored

Boston, May ia protest against
revenue legislation which permits eva
sion by setting future effective date
was voiced here tonight by Professor
Frank W. Taussig, chairman of the new
Federal Tariff Commission. in a speech
outlining the commissions policy as
one of patient. scientific investigation.
While Professor Taussig did not
mention specifically the war tax bill
now pending in Congress, he revealed
that the commission had made recon-
mendations not incorporated in the
measure. and even had presented a
draft of legislation"
"A familiar phenomenon in our reve-
nue. legislation said the commission
chairman. "has been the withdrawal of
commodities from the taxable field
during the period in which an increase
in rates was under discussion. For all
this there is a remedy, nor is it far to
seek.
THE Tariff Commission submitted a
report to Congress showing the embar-
easements and difficulties which had
arisen in the United States and pro q.
posing a remedy. The commission also
presented a draft of legislation which
was flexible and was believed to be
practicable
Professor Taussig spoke before the
Home Markets Club. He said deter
mination of national policy must rest
with Congress. but that he was con-
fident that the commission could,
through its far-reaching scheme of in
vestigation, become Of inestimable
value in framing revenue legislation.
The commissioners. he declared, had no
high flying" opinions regarding eco
nomic and scientific aspects of the
tariff. and no "axe to grind"
Pointing out the growing importance
of international commercial treaties
and agreements, Professor Taussig de-
clared there should be no spirit OF ag-
grandizement in the commercial nego-
tiations that come at the close of the
war.

Be Strong War Ally
Central American State Has
Peace Army of 1000 and
$4,000 Reserves

Guatemala's decision TO follow the
example of the United States in break
ing off diplomatic relations with Ger
many adds TO the world alliance against
1eutonic Imperialism the most impor-
tant of Central American republics.
The National Geographic Society in a
war geography bulletin gives the fol-
lowing data about this new tentative
ally:
with an army which in peace times
numbers 1000 men and with a reserve
force estimated at $4,000, Guatemala
is by far the most important military
force in Central America. In area il
is several thousand square miles larger
than the island of Cuba and has a
population equal to that of Virginia
OF its sister republics Nicaragua en-
braces slightly more territory, but has
less than one-third the population.
The total available unorganized mill
tary strength OF Guatemala is $4,000
men, which is threefourths as large
as all the rest of Central America
combined.

"The fact that Guatemala was the
first of the Central American republics
to align itself with the United States
came as something of surprise, in
view of the fact that the country's in
dustrial and commercial life had been
permeated by German influence before
the war. German capital built much Of
the 502 miles of railway in the re-
public, and it was Germany which used
TO buy large percentage Of the coffee
