China's only really efficient arsenal was at Mukden, has been in Japanese hands since 1931. Total output of other arsenals in China can provide about 800,000 rounds of rifle ammunition daily (about half a round per soldier), a few field pieces, machine guns and trench mortars, but no tanks, no heavy artillery, no planes, no trucks...
Steve Donoghue won the Derby once more after that-in 1925 with H. E. Morris' Manna-to set a record of six Derby victories. His total of 1,840 winners does not approach the all-time record of 2,775, established by England's 19th Century Fred Archer. He has won for his employers considerably less money than Jockey Sande's record of $3,034,858.

Union's Savannah plant started operation in July 1936 and Union has now caught up fully with the paper revolution. Last year it made 7,000,000,000 of the U. S. total of 50,000,000,000 paper bags. Its $10,800,000 bag sales were 13% of the U. S. gross of $80,000,000 and its profits totted up to $387,000. And last week as his stockholders voted to split their shares and also issue...
...currently the No. 1 bullish hope of the country. In theory bumper crops sold at fair prices provide the huge farming class with such extensive buying power that all commerce benefits. How bumper are crops was last week summarized by revised estimates of the Department of Agriculture, indicating that total value for three major crops of corn, wheat and cotton will be $4,500,000,000, largest since 1930. Total farm income from the sale of all crops plus payments by the Agricultural Adjustment Administration will total up to nearly $9,000,000,000. largest since...
