Stetson of Ohio Wesleyan university Stetson based his prediction on what he described a “remarkable ful- fillment” of a forecast of the effect of sunspots upon radio that he and Dr. Greenleaf W.

By the end of 1930 and the beginning of 1931 the general rise secondary sunspots maximum should be evident. By 1931 however, it is believed we shall be so far from the maximum 11-year period that the secondary period will have no such effect on radio reception as we had in 1928 and 1929.

B. Harvey of the Min- ta agriculturc! experiment sta- tion. He has found that plants, like hu~ mans. can become hardened to freez- ing, only more so, and that intermit- tent doses of cold weather are suffi- cient to harden plants “so that they | maye be frozen stiff without injury.” | This does not apply, he said, to trop- ical plants, which have lost the knack, American Automobile Business in France Is Threatened by Duties Paris, Dec. 30.—(/P}—The American ‘ embassy is expected to make repre- sentations to the foreign office short- ly against. proposed increased duties on automobiles and parts which pro- bably will curtail all of the American automobile business in France. The government itself introduced the bill raising the duties on parts | by changing from an ad valorem to a weight basis and it is known that preparations are being made for an- other bill radically raising the duty | on complete cars by the same meth- od. ‘The American embassy is preparing data in an effort to show this would have an adverse effect by throwing out of work many of the 6,000 French | employed by American firms and by | adding expense to many French im- of parts.

Ralph Budd, president of the Great Northern, issued a statement point- ing out sale of the Burlington would | leave the two northern roads without a Chicago outlet over their own rails, and this, he said, “was the most im- portant part of the system from the Northerns’ standpoint,” adding “The chief reason for purchase of the Bur- lington by the Northerns was to ob- tain an entry into Chicago.” He indicated that should the com- mission rule merger of the two Northerns to be contingent upon sale of the Burlington, the Great North- ern and Northern Pacific would ask | modification of that condition by sep- arating the Chicago-Twin Cities line from the Burlington and attaching it to the Great Northern Pacific. This phase of the commission's | grouping plan has been criticized by some legislators, including Rep. O. B.
