every effort will be made to do so where the contribution offered is regarded as 
unsuitable. : 
Besides articles, letters to the editor and short paragraphs of scientific interest, 
as well as personal notes regarding scientists, will be acceptable. 
All subscriptions are payable in advance. 
Changes in advertisements must be notified at least fifteen days before

Suspension of Publication of the Journal. 
ame E have to announée that it has been decided by the Executive 
NW (ta (4 4] Committee to suspend publication of Science and 
)}} Industry after the issue of this number, This decision was 
arrived at only after full and careful consideration of the 
circumstances in which the Institute is placed, and it was felt that 
the stage has now: been reached when it were better to call a halt rather 
than to struggle along without a strong and definite purpose. The first 
objective has been gained, and the position won has been consolidated. 
A temporary organization has been placed upon a permanent basis, 
and an Institute of Science and Industry has been established for Aus- 
tralia. Having assisted to accomplish this much, there is now no other 
course open than to await developments, and to leave it to the Director, 
whose appointment, presumably, will be made in the near future, to 
determine exactly the nature of any regular official publication; and to 
formulate a clear-cut policy which the stabilized position brought about 
by the passage of the Science and Industry Bill will now permit.
