Moon Phase Timetable From March 29 1917
A fragmentary notice lists a moon phase time at 4:30 pm on Thursday March 29 1917 with garbled surrounding data. The readable item centers on the calendar entry and social time reference amid unclear numbers and letters.

The article argues that import and export values are often misinterpreted under wartime compilation rules. It notes Australian figures understate true values, and freight and war insurance inflate costs. Using the Economist’s view of British trade in 1916, inflated values hid real price changes, a pattern likely mirrored in Australia.
