As a result of this survey we have

For several decades previous tu the

as confirmed tea drinkers as the
English tftcr the Boston Tea Party

During the Revolutionary War
patriotism was frequently cvlnccd by
drinking Liberty Tea. a beverage
made from the four -Icavcd looscstrifc

used to wide extent, coffee became the
great alternative drink. Today Amer

do tea and this habit has its roots far

The successful conquest OF time IN the
early stages of war will save thousands
of valuable lives and untold millions
of treasure.
To aid in the conquest of time. the
War Department. under the authority
of Congress. has now instituted
series of small, peacetime orders OF
specified war requirements which have
been awarded to industrial concerns
to educate them in the tooling and
manufacturing methods necessary IN
the supply of war materials not or
dlnarlly produced in times of peace
Items selected for educational orders
this year include the seni-autonatic
rifle, reCoil mechaniSmS for three-inch
antiarcraft guns. gas masks and sixty
inch searchllghts. Every one of these
items is indispensable in the early
stages of war. Each presents difficult
problem because Of its basic dis
similarity to items of normal peace
time production. Each has the prob
ability of remaining standard for 4
considerable period of time.
Lack of Standardization has been a
serious obstacle for our program of
industrial mobilization to hurdle but
today our efforts to simplify and to
standardize designs are bringing re-
suits.
Perfection in types and standards
is our ultimate goal but We realize
that IN seeking for the ideal. we may
be tempted to neglect the best that
is available in actual time Of need.
