review shows the index of state

i per cent of the 1912-14 base period

index of 99 per cent. The Mid

of 223 per cent of the base period

Superior, Wis. Five eight-year-1
old sisters in gray suits and red
coats stepped up to the looming
hows of five cargo vessels Sunday,
and a few minutes later the "Quint
Fleet" had set a world sidewise j
launching record and was -on its!

"These ships, built by Ameri

be manned by British we wish
them well," Admiral Land said.
"Wherever they go in their work
I hope there is one special trip
they will make, be it soon or later
1 hope they will sail into sea
ports of Japan with supplies for
our garrison in Tokyo."

had caused some concern,
