Furthermore, the courts have upheld many State laws which adopted Federal standards and regulations or which were designed to augment the enforcement of Federal laws or regulations. Transit Commission v. Long Island R. Co., 272 N.Y. 27 (3 N.E. [2d] 622); Smith v. Alphin, 150 N.C. 425 ( 64 S.E. 210); Cleveland Macaroni Co. v. State Board of Health of California, 256 Fed. 376; Watkinson v. Hotel Pennsylvania, 195 App. Div. 624 ( 187 N.Y. Supp. 278, affirmed 231 N.Y. 562 [ 132 N.E. 889]); Underwood Typewriter Co. v. Chamberlain, 94 Conn. 47 ( 108 A. 154); Brown v. State, 323 Mo. 138 ( 19 S.W. [2d] 12); Carter v. Virginia, 321 U.S. 131 ( 64 Sup. Ct. 464, 88 L.Ed. 605); James v. Walker, 141 Ky. 88 ( 132 S.W. 149). In discussing this subject, 33 Michigan Law Review, p. 597, states in part (pp. 601, 602):
"Breach of warranty in a sales contract is an affirmative plea whether as a defense or grounds for the recovery of damages, and the burden is on one who asserts it to establish it by the greater weight of the evidence." Price v. Goodman, 226 N.C. 223, 37 S.E.2d 592. For the plaintiff's statements to have constituted a warranty the defendant must have relied upon them. Smith v. Alphin, 150 N.C. 425, 64 S.E. 210. His evidence shows that he did not. Defendant testified that he had examined the parts and equipment in question before he bought the agency and that his opinion as to their value was infinitely lower than the one he said plaintiff had expressed.
The Court of Appeals will not be reviewed on a question of fact. Postal Tel. Co. v. Minderhout, 195 Ala. 420, 71 So. 91; Kirkwood v. State, 184 Ala. 9, 63 So. 990; Ex parte State, 181 Ala. 4, 61 So. 53; Ex parte Williams, 182 Ala. 34, 62 So. 63; Ex parte Steverson, 177 Ala. 384, 58 So. 992; Ex parte W. U. T.

Shaffer, 150 Minn. 114, 184 N.W. 785, 18 A.L.R. 1194; Smith v. Alphin, 150 N.C. 425, 64 S.E. 210; Smith v. Newberry, 140 N.C. 385, 53 S.E. 234; Zounes v.
