...filtered in as monks, townsmen, traders, artisans. They naturally became the manufacturers of the 19th Century Bohemian industrial revolution. Favored by the Habsburg regime, they looked down on their agricultural Czech, Slovak neighbors. In the post-War years, when the Czechs became the top-dogs they turned the national trade to their allies and friends, which dried up Sudeten markets in Austria, Hungary, gradually supplanted German capital with Czech, eased out Sudeten workers, filled Sudeten administrative, police and army posts with Czechs. Although the Sudetens form only 22% of the nation's population, they now make...

...killed and the captain injured. Farther down the coast at Alicante the British freighter St. Winifred and the 5,387-ton ship English Tanker were hit, and the British oil tanker Maryat was destroyed.

...Delighted retailers all over the U. S. In 1935 the Federal Trade Commission told a New York jewelry store named L. & C.

Last week the Second Circuit Court upheld the 1935 FTC order. Immediately the National Retail Furniture Association started a drive to eliminate "gyp-wholesaling" in furniture.
