ton was barely suggested in a report
by the retiring minister of defense,
that three Chez regiments had desert
ed to the Russians and that Czech
prisoners had volunteered for SER
vice against Austria. Czech parties
in the Austrian Parliament were
openly working for the union of the
=. echs and Slovaks as one people in
an independent State.
Since almost the beginning of the
War Czechs had lost no opportunity
of passing over to the Allies. Of TO-
900 prisoners taken by Serbia early
in the war $4,000 were Czechs. OF
these, however, $4,000 persisted during
the great Serbian retreat or died of
disease. The remaining 3 900 pro-
ceeded to France and there joined
the Czech legions already fighting on
he French front; Czechoslovakia was
the only nation to have organized SOL
diers on both sides of the war.
Of a total of of more than 100000
Czechs drafted into the Austrian
army, more than half deserted or sur
rendered, and the effect of this alone
was one of the most potent influences
in the eventual collapse of the Aus

carolina are endeavoring to improve |
their own status. They ask that the |
government eliminate onlv the evils
In our economic system which are
beyond their control.
AS I write this weeklv article
there is on my desk a letter from Mrs.
franklin II. Roosevelt, in which she
gives me few impressions of her re-
cent trip to Eastern North Carolina,
at Wallace. Some of the expressions
are certain to bring pride to any
North Carolinian. She said in part:
L was struck by the fact that the
Coastal Plain Station was doing such
good work in developing new things
to grow in the South"-"I think that
a population which is so largely An
glo-Saxon origin makes any develop
ment much easier - 1.-The spirit
shown in such a small place as Wal
lace in doing all they did for their
strawberry festival seemed to me ex-
traordinary and could mean only de-
termination to succeed in whatever
they undertook think this is a
most interesting part of the country"
North Carolina generally will APP
plaud these very sincere compliments
to the state and our people, coming
from the First Lady.
! Speaking of agricultural income.
Recently there was submitted to Con-
gresS a report of the Federal Trade
Commission with regard to it's inquiry
on the subject. Of particular interest
to my state is confirmation of the be-
lief shared by many of the present
taxes on tobacco seriously affect the
price the farmer receives for his leaf
tobacco. On this point, the report
says:
"The cigarette industry is dominat-
ed by four brands of cigarettes whose
manufacturers maintain identical
prices and change these prices up
ward or downward almost simultan-
eously with no apparent relation to
either leaf tobacco or other price
levels. Although in recent years the
sales volume of ten cent cigarettes
has indicated the existence of the
four leading brands has not been seri-
ously impaired. The uniform Internal
revenue tax of So per thousand on
small cigarettes has been a faction
tending to restrict the competition of
the lower-priced brands.
cit is believed that the use of a
different basis of taxation would pro-
mote competition With n the cigar
cite industry and that this competi-
ton would in turn result in increas-
ed competition in hte purchase of leaf
tobacco.
1.-THE Commission therefore recon-
mends that Congress consider the adj
visibility of levying, in place of the
present uniform tax, cigarette tax
graduated according to the manufac-
turer's net selling price. In this con-
nection, it should be noted that since
manufacturers do little if any retail
ing of cigarettes, any effort to grad
uate the tax according to the retail
price instead of the manufacturers
net selling price would be an attempt
to base it upon prices which the law
forbids the manufacturer to control"
Obviously, here is condition that
should be considered when Federal
tax revision is undertaken.

Fresh Fruit Ripens on Way
The shipper of fresh fruits must
pick slightly on the green side and
permit the fruits and vegetables
to ripen in transit.
After being frozen, these fruits
can be shipped a long way without
changing in quality whatever.
Fruits are desirable as summer
food because they contain a large
amount of sugar in form that is
easily absorbed, and because they
furnish sufficient energy rapidly
without necessarily heating the
body. Their specific heat" is not
as high as protein, which is one
of the reasons for their popularity.
Fruits contain fruit acids, but
these Immediately turn to alkaline
salts in the body, and the effect Of
eating fruits is to make the body
alkaline rather than acid
