...Finnish and one Swedish vessel, all carrying woodpulp to Great Britain, were torpedoed by U-boats during the week. Woodpulp (cellulose for explosives) is high on Germany's contraband list. The week's losses attributed to U-boats were 25,452 tons (a decline of 41.416 tons from the week prior), bringing totals for all flags to 47 ships, 196.925 tons. > Great Britain's Ministry of Information last week claimed that their seizures of war materials destined for Germany totaled 186.000 tons.

Later volumes are in fairly good state of preservation but they, too, will gradually disintegrate with...
...Bronx, New York City's northernmost borough, famed for bourgeois baby carriages, walkups and dingy streets, was fairly immune to litterateurs until Mrs. Vina Delmar began to leer in its direction. The result of her first leer she sold for about $60 to Snappy Stories, brisk woodpulp fiction monthly. Thereafter her Bronx first-novel Bad Girl, was wreathed by the Literary Guild, and, like later Delmar books, was read by millions...
