@I® OSE m Flub: "What caused that co‘llision to day*"* Dub: "Two motorists after the same zedestrian." * ASnmadudit A motorist left his car outside a vestaurant while ho had lunch. On emerging, however, he observed that a constable was standing guard over it, so he quickly withdrew inside and thought swiftly.

By controlling the sunlight that reaches certain plants, it has been found possible to force them to bloom out of season, earlier or later than their usual period. Experiments have been made with dabMas, African martâ€" wolds, poinsettias, Klondyke cosmos and late varieties of chrysanthemums, !t now appears that the plants proâ€" duce flowers in direct relation to the length of the daylight period. With this to guido them, expertâ€" menters trick the flowers into bloomâ€" ing at unusual seasons. This can be done by covering the plants or by takâ€" ing them fnto the cellar for an hour or two before sunset each day. This produces sunlight conditions approxiâ€" mating Autumn, with a shorter perfod of daylight, and the plants bloom rarlior. Conversely, it has been found hat lengthening the short days of Autumn and Winter with the aid of electric lights of proper intensity preâ€" vonts these plants from flowericg in their normal season. * 4 It is even possible to force differ ent parts of some plants to blossom at different seasons.
