APPLE BULLETIN is ISSUET
H. D. Hooker, Jr., and F. c. Brad
ford Are Its Authors.

A new bulletin las just been issued by
the Agricultural Experiment Station on
the subject, "Localization of the Factors
Determining Fruit Bud Formation" Its
authors are H. D. Hooker, Jr. and F. C.
Bradford of the Horticulture building.
This bulletin is preliminary to the sub.
ject of fruit bearing in apple trees and
is the second of series of publications
in the department which aim TO clear up
the question of alternate and irregular
bearing.
There are large number of apple
varieties in this state such as Wealthy
and York" which bear only once in two
years. The object of this work is 10
devise treatment which will make such
trees bear large crops every year. Part
Of the experimental work was carried on
in the orchards Of President ]. c. Jones
at McBain.
Research Bulletin No. 48 is now in
press and will be ready in two months.
The topic is, Investigations on Harden
ing Process in Plants" and is written by
]. 7. Rosa, Jr. 1t contains the results Of
four years experiments on the changes
which enable plants to stand the cold,
why some plants are more hardy than
others, and how TO increase the kardi.
ness Of plants.
The hardness Of plant depends first
upon its ability to hold water in its cells.
Results Of these experiments will lead
to others of much practical value in con.
nection with the handling of vegetables

publications Of the scientific and learned
societies. He would have the universi.
ties give part Of the money now appro-
priated to a common fund to be properly
distributed TO special journals under the
management Of the societies, making
them main avenues for publication OF
scientific and learned papers.
University presses are at hand for
every kind Of learned publications" Doc.
tor Gross, said. IF these presses were
supplied with a sufficient working capi-
tai they would become potent factors n
the diffusion Of scholarly work. From
them nigh, issue all kinds Of scientific
and learned periodicals under the direc-
iion of the national societies"
The marketing problem Of such publi-
cations is now facing the university
presses. Because of lack of funds for
proper advertising and reviewing only a
few copies are sold. Doctor Cross sug-
gesfed the formation Of. an Association Of
University Presses, with distinct pur-
pose of establishing an independent
agency for marketing their publications
on a common basis.

PAPER PRINTS STORIES
ABOUT JOHN MORRIS
N4>DEAN WILLIAMS

Dean Walter Williams, president, and
John Morris, executive secretary, will be
able TO tell some interesting sto1ies on
each other as the result Of attending the
Press Congress. The fact that these
stories were published in the Honolulu
Star Bulletin, Of course, makes them more
interesting. Here are two Of the stories:
Dean Williams was given gavel by
Louis Medeiros. the elevator hoy" at the
capitol, and did no ihesitate to make as
much use Of it as he possibly could. He
was asked why he continually pounded
the desk with his gavel while the con.
gross was in session. Dean Williams did
not hesitate TO give fitting answer 10
the question. He said: "Of course it
isn't in strict accordance with parliamen.
tary' practice, but chances are the next
session Of the congress won't be held for
about three years, so want 10 make
good use Of il while | cam
John Marris wanted to go ashore at
kahului and see swimming exhibition,
but Dean Williams thought it was more
important that he should work. 1t hap.
pened that the only available machine
aboard was in the hands of a newspaper
man, so Morris reluctantly went down
to his stateroom to borrow it, Lend me
your machine, will you?" asked Johnnie.
I'D like awfully well 10 go ashore, but
I've got lot of work to do" Perhaps
he winked just trifle. And maybe he
didn't. Anyway, the newspaper man re.
piled: "Sorry, old man. but I've got to
use the machine myself; lot Of stories 10
write and all that" OF course John went
to the swimming meet

NEW AUTOMOBILE LAW
MAY CAUSE LESS THEFT
More Trouble Made Ror Owner
Though, Because of Many
New Regulations.

That there will be less automobile
theft and bit more Of trouble to the
automobile owner and dcale;s because of
the many new regulations. is the gen,
eral attitude Of Columbians toward the
new automobile law passed by the spc.
cial session Of the legislature.
The features of the new law are as
follows: Besides registering his car
the owner must also have a certificate
Of ownership; this certificate Of own.
ership must be endorsed and turned over
to the buyer Of the vehicle in case Of
sale or transfer.
Every closed vehicle from which sig
mailing from the seat is impossible mus,
have mechanical device under which
the driver can give plain signal from
the rear when he or she is to turn 10
the right, to the left, slacken speed or
10 stop. This automobile rear signal
is required on all closed cars or trucks
owned in town of more than 10000
inhabitants.
The OPERATOR new designation in
this law. is any person who drives an
automobile as incident TO his business.
Cars "in transit may hear a card in
stead Of license plate which will read "in
transit and tell plainly. in writing. the
regular number Of the dealer and where
bound.
The penalty for stealing an automo,
bile is set at twenty-five years and $1,000
fine. A third conviction for a minor
offense permits the motor vehicle com.
mission to cancel the license of the Of.
fender and prohibit him from driving for
one YEAR

The R. o. T. C. is now operating
