Japan's rapid industrial progress

'ahe United States furnished 20 per
cent of the total imports of machin-

which has developed with marked sue

odd years ago. The ready-to-inhabit

ufacture and export of Norwegian
ready-made houses is near Christiania,
and the houses are usually of six
rooms with variations that include a
considerable range of styles and
prices, and they have all the modern
conveniences. Naturally the factory
