Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former.

(Albert Einstein)

Jokes After being with her all evening, the man couldn't take another minute with his blind date.

Earlier, he had secretly arranged to have a friend call him to the phone so he would have an excuse to leave if something like this happened.

When he returned to the table, he lowered his eyes, put on a grim ex-

pression and said, "I have some bad news. My grandfather just died."

"Thank heaven," his date replied. "If yours hadn't, mine would have had to."

An American attorney had just finished a guest lecture at a law school in Italy when an Italian lawyer approached him and asked, "Is it true

that a person can fall down on a sidewalk in your county and then sue the landowners for lots of money?"

Told that it was true, the lawyer turned to his partner and started speaking rapidly in Italian. When they stopped, the American attorney asked if they wanted to go to America to practice law.

"No, no," one replied. "We want to go to America and fall down on sidewalks."

A man writing at the post office desk was approached by an older fellow with a post card in his hand. The old man said, "Sir, I'm sorry to bother you but could you address this post card for me? My arthritis is acting up and I can't even hold a pen."

"Certainly, sir," said the younger man. He wrote out the address and also agreed to write a short message and sign the card for the man. Finally, the younger man asked, "Now, is there anything else I can do for you?"

The old fellow glanced at the card a moment and said, "Yes, at the end could you just add, 'PS: Please excuse the sloppy hand-writing?'"

My husband works as a service technician for a large pest exterminating company.

One of the rules of the company is that he has to confirm each appointment by phone the night before his service call to that household.

One evening he made such a call, and when a man answered the phone, he said, "Hi, this is Gary from A to Z Pest Control Company. Your wife phoned us."

There was a long silence, and then my husband heard the man on the other end say, "Honey, it's for you....someone wants to talk to you about your relatives."

A grief-stricken man threw himself on a grave and cried bitterly, "My life, oh how senseless is it! How worthless everything about me, because you are gone. If only you had lived, if only fate had not been so cruel as to take you from this world, how everything would have been different!"

A clergyman nearby overheard him and said, "I assume the person lying beneath this mound of earth was someone of great importance to you."

"Importance? Indeed it was," wept the man. "It's my wife's first husband!"

"Mummy, Mummy!" called Little Johnny one day. "Do you know the beautiful vase in the dining room that's been handed down from generation to generation?"

"Yes", said his mother. "What about it?" "Well the last generation just dropped it."

Kelly Travel Chosen Transport for the South African National Team Local coach operator Kelly Travel scored a great coup recently when they were chosen to provide transport for the South African National team as well as several FIFA delegates.

Spokesperson Tim Kelly commented “We were delighted to be chosen for such a prestigious contract. As the coach was the South African football association`s first impression of Ire-

land, it was imperative everything was to the highest standard. The FAI`s faith in our ability to provide high class transport was a real vindication of our efforts to be ahead of the class so to speak. We pride ourselves on combining highest professional standards with a personal, friendly service. “

New Tipperary GAA Archives Website Launched Tipperary County Board is pleased to announce the launch of a new Tipperary GAA Archives web site, www.tippgaaarchives.com, which records details of Tipperary championship teams since 1886 and Tipperary County and Divisional Rolls of Honour since competitions began.

The new website was launched on Saturday September 19th at a function in the Anner Hotel Thurles by County Chairman, Barry O’Brien. The initiative was sponsored by the Tipperary GAA 125 Committee chaired by Seamus J. King. Among the guests at the launch was Jimmy Butler Coffey of Newport, who will be 100 years old later this year and is the last surviving member of the Tipperary team which won the All Ireland Senior Hurling Championship in 1937.

The archives site includes a list of every player who was part of a Tipperary Championship team from Minor up to Senior level in Hurling and Football since 1886. The list of over 17,000 players was compiled over the past couple of years by PJ Maxwell, an underage All Ireland hurling medallist with Tipperary and captain of the Tipperary team which won the 1980 Munster Under 21 Hurling Final. Thanks to the assistance of the clubs in Tipperary, over 90% of the players will include the correct Christian name also.

The new web site will also include the Divisional and County Champion-

ship Roll of Honour for all grades in Hurling and Football from Minor C grade all the way up to Senior since each competition began. This list was compiled by former County PRO and current Tipperary I.T. Committee Chairman, Ed Donnelly, from numerous sources and again, thanks to the assistance of the clubs, the name of the winning captain is included for over 75% of all County Champions.

All Ireland senior hurling medallist, former All-Star and current Tipperary Minor Hurling Manager, Mark O’Leary, set up the web site and supporting database. The use of modern technology will ensure that not only can the information be easily searched online but the web site can be updated in real-time Tipperary County Board would like to thank the 125 Committee for sponsoring this initiative and to thank most sincerely PJ, Ed and Mark for their dedication to the project. It has required painstaking research and will be a very valuable reference point for anybody interested in Tipperary GAA. Queries and feedback should be directed to Ed Donnelly, Chairman Tipperary IT Committee, at ed.donnelly@gaa.ie or 087-2055642 or to Ger Ryan, PRO, Tipperary County Board at pro.tipperary@gaa.ie or 086 8149146.

On 10th April, 1923, Liam Lynch was in the Knockmealdown Mountains in County Tipperary for an IRA conference on ways to end the civil war. On the morning of April 10, 1923, IRA scouts saw Irish Free State soldiers approaching so Lynch and a number of other IRA soldiers attempted to escape by fleeing over the Knockmealdown Mountains. Lynch was shot and his friends attempted to carry him over the mountain but knowing he was hindering their escape he asked them to leave him behind . When the Irish Free State

soldiers found Lynch, he was still alive. He was taken to a pub in nearby Newcastle 5 miles away over the mountains where he received some medical attention. An ambulance arrived at around 3pm and he was then taken to St Joseph's Hospital in Clonmel where he died that evening. He is buried in Old Kilcrumper Cemetery, Fermoy, County Cork, Ireland. The Irish Civil War ended on April 30th 1923 In 1935, a sixty foot high round tower was erected in the Knockmealdown Mountains on the spot where Lynch was shot. Fifteen thousand people attended the unveiling.

Ideas are needed for all businesses to succeed All businesses are created first by ideas. Then once you're in business you need ideas for marketing, advertising, solving problems, product development etc. The difference between success or failure could be just one idea. That's all! Below are three ways to generate profitable business ideas.

1. Communicating regularly with other business people can generate many ideas. There are many resources online and offline to meet new business people like; networking events, training courses, seminars, chat rooms, discussion boards, trade shows etc. Sharing your knowledge, asking questions, and taking in new information will stimulate your mind. Your brain will begin to put all this information together to create profitable business ideas. Your local County Enterprise Board is a good place to start.

can also stimulate your mind.

Read business books, magazines, e-books, web sites, journals, ezines, newspapers etc. Your brain will generate profitable ideas by absorbing and rearranging this information on a regular basis.

3. Don't have a lot of time to read? You could listen to business audio books, seminars and courses. Listen to them in the car, while your doing house work, working in the yard, or exercising. Also, tune in business related radio stations. This will help you save time and generate profitable business ideas at the same time.

There are a few extra tips that will help improve these idea generation strategies. Take short breaks to brainstorm about the information you absorbed.

Keep a notepad and pen handy to record your ideas so you don't forget them. All businesses need profitable business ideas to stay ahead of competition and survive.

2. If you're not much of a communicator, try reading. Reading

Ten Rules For Being Human 1. You will receive a body. You may like it or hate it, but it’s yours to keep for the entire period.

2. You will learn lessons. You are enrolled in a full-time informal school called, “life.

3. “There are no mistakes, only lessons. Growth is a process of trial, error, and experimentation. The “failed” experiments are as much a part of the process as the experiments that ultimately “work.”

4. Lessons are repeated until they are learned. A lesson will be presented to you in various forms until you have learned it. When you have learned it, you can go on to the next lesson.

5. Learning lessons does not end.

There’s no part of life that doesn’t contain its lessons. If you’re alive,

that means there are still lessons to be learned.

6. “There” is no better a place than “here.” When your “there” has become a “here”, you will simply obtain another “there” that will again look better than “here.”

7. Other people are merely mirrors of you. You cannot love or hate something about another person unless it reflects to you something you love or hate about yourself.

8. What you make of your life is up to you. You have all the tools and resources you need. What you do with them is up to you. The choice is yours.

9. Your answers lie within you. The answers to life’s questions lie within you. All you need to do is look, listen, and trust.

10. You will forget all this.

A word to the wise ain't necessary, it's the stupid ones who need the advice. (Bill Cosby)

Banking Crisis Explained Young Paddy bought a donkey from a farmer for €100. The farmer agreed to deliver the donkey the next day. The next day he drove up and said, 'Sorry son, but I have some bad news. The donkey's died.'

Paddy replied, 'Well then just give me my money back.'

The farmer said, 'Can't do that. I've already spent it.'

Paddy said, 'OK, then, just bring me the dead donkey.'

The farmer asked, 'What are you going to do with him?'

Paddy said, 'I'm going to raffle him off.'

Why Do Bananas Turn Yellow?

The green colour in unripe bananas comes from chlorophyll, the same pigment that gives green leaves their colour. As bananas ripen, the chlorophyll breaks down and disappears, revealing the yellow colour which has been there all along. Of course, other changes also occur as bananas ripen: the starches change to sugar and the flesh softens as pectin (a carbohydrate) breaks down.

A Quick Guide to Less Stressful Driving How long does it take you to get from A to B? If you are like most people, you will know typical journey times for regular trips that you make. Phrases like "I made great time", or "it only took me ..... to get to here today” are typical comments we hear every day. We tend to judge the quality of a trip by how short it is. In fact, we are creating our own time expectations and this puts us under pressure when we can't meet them. To make matters worse, these are often self imposed.

Over the next week actually time the same journey twice. On the first occasion, drive as normal, trying not to go faster or slower than usual. The next time you undertake the same trip, consciously drive in a more relaxed and less hurried manner. If you compare the two journey times you will often find that, if your trip was a relatively short one, the difference can be measured in – at most - minutes. If the journey was two, three or even four hours, the difference is likely to be no greater than twenty to thirty minutes.

like? What have you done with all those precious minutes you saved?

The chances are that you will feel more relaxed and refreshed after the second trip. This is more likely to be that case if you accept that there are many things outside your control - the weather, traffic delays due to accidents, road works or simply traffic volumes. Fewer overtakes, less chance of mistakenly going too fast through a speed camera – a more relaxed journey all round.

If things do go wrong, it is useful to focus on what you can do, rather than on what you can't. If you have a mobile phone, you can ring ahead to explain that you are delayed so that alternative plans can be made.

In this situation the mobile phone can be really useful: once that call has been made, you will drive in a more composed way. The pressure is off if you have rung ahead to say you have been delayed by a few minutes. Needless to say, that call should ideally be made when you have pulled over somewhere convenient and legal – or at least from a hands-free unit. Courtesy of the Insti-

tute of Advanced Motorists (web: Ask yourself how you feel after www.iam.org.uk) completing each trip. Is there any difference? What is your stress level

Why do Autumn leaves change colour?

We all enjoy the colours of autumn leaves. Did you ever wonder how and why an Autumn leaf changes colour?

Why a maple leaf turns bright red?

Where do the yellows and oranges come from? To answer those questions, we first have to understand what leaves are and what they do.

Leaves are nature's food factories.

Plants take water from the ground through their roots. They take a gas called carbon dioxide from the air.

Plants use sunlight to turn water and carbon dioxide into glucose. Glucose is a kind of sugar. Plants use glucose as food for energy and as a building block for growing. The way plants turn water and carbon dioxide into sugar is called photosynthesis. That means "putting together with light."

A chemical called chlorophyll helps make photosynthesis happen. Chlorophyll is what gives plants their green color.

As summer ends and autumn comes, the days get shorter and shorter. This is how the trees "know" to begin getting ready for winter.

NEW IN TOWN Rosemary Street, Roscrea, Co. Tipperary

During winter, there is not enough light or water for photosynthesis. The trees will rest, and live off the food they stored during the summer. They begin to shut down their food-making factories. The green chlorophyll disappears from the leaves. As the bright green fades away, we begin to see yellow and orange colours. Small amounts of these colours have been in the leaves all along. We just can't see them in the summer, because they are covered up by the green chlorophyll.

The bright reds and purples we see in leaves are made mostly in the Autumn. In some trees, like maples, glucose is trapped in the leaves after photosynthesis stops. Sunlight and the cool nights of autumn cause the leaves turn this glucose into a red colour. The brown colour of trees like oaks is made from wastes left in the leaves.

It is the combination of all these things that make the beautiful colours we enjoy in the Autumn.

Say what you mean and mean

I say: “I didn’t spill the yogurt all over your dress” I mean, “I did spill the yogurt all over your dress” I say “I don’t want to be rude, but…”, “I hate to spoil the fun, but…”

I mean “I want to be rude, and …”, “I love to spoil the fun, and…”

Why do we find it so difficult to tell the truth, and say what is really going on in our minds? Why do we have to cloud our speech with unclear language?

We put so much thought and effort into what we write on paper, whether it is a job application letter, a piece of prose, a blog entry or a birthday card. It is rather amusing then, that a lot of Irish people can stumble over their words, when asked a question at a network meeting, dinner party or any gathering of people. We seem to get caught up in saying something for the sake of it, rather than pondering for a moment to gather our thoughts, and answering then in a constructive and informative fashion.

to focus on the C in their exam results, when all the other grades were straight A’s. Rather than focusing on the good grades, he singles out the lower grade and uses this information to question why his child is such a failure. Who is the failure I wonder?

So next time you are about to cajole a work colleague, sibling, child, parent or friend, just stop for a nano second and think why you are about to say that. If you are in company, is it respectful to insult or demean another in front of everyone? What really is your motivation?

Did you get the last say? Did you?

Did you?

They (whoever THEY are) say that sarcasm is the lowest form of wit! Sarcasm is a reflection of how we see ourselves, that when we are sarcastic towards someone, we are then really directing that back to self? I am very aware that when we criticise another, we are essentially criticising ourselves, using the other person as the medium or mirror for our self-criticism.

Your spouse is telling a story about somehting that happened in “June”. Is it imperative to immediately correct them, and declare it was in fact July when it happened? I have been guilty of this some years ago when I suspected my partner was exagerating some facts. I took the high moral ground and corrected him on the spot.

Not only did it break his story and leave him stumbling for words, our friends looked at me as if to say “What does it matter?” It didn’t matter, only that I had to have my say. I have learned my lesson, and am much better now at letting people tell their story to the end, and NOT feeling compelled to come up with a more exciting story, just to make sure I had the last say. As a coach, I now listen and give the other person space and time to relate their view/story.

And oh! Do we criticise!

Now lets talk about language.

For example, take the proud father at the football match. His son or daughter has been running the pitch for 30 minutes in the rain, after being dragged out of their warm bed to play in the local team, who are woefully losing. Morale is low and the coach is doing his best to get the kids to soldier on. The proud father begins shouting at the child to get a move on, and “stop standing around like a wet rag” or something to that effect. I often wonder how this is encouraging a child to progress when their confidence is already wavering.

Will that man’s cajoling and criticising inspire that child to run faster or jump higher for the ball? Who is he really angry with for not succeeding? Did he maybe not make the team at all when in school?

When someone asks me “How are you?” I generally answer, “I am great thanks, how are you?”. If I am not great, I say it: “I could be better” or “Getting there”. So what resonates for you here? How many people do you know that would automatically answer “Not bad!” or “middling” or “struggling” when asked how they are?

What is wrong with these answers?

What’s right with these answers? “Not bad” is a double negative for starters.

So the words alone register in the unconscious mind that things are bad – it focuses on the adjective, and registers BAD. How could we feel good after saying things are not bad? Could we try something to replace this like “Good, thanks” – unconscious registers “GOOD”. This is a far more positive feeling than “NOT” and “BAD”

I wonder what is motivating the father to cajole his child like that in public. Or

What’s in a word?

Or what about sarcasm?

You are asked to collect your friend at 7pm. And you reply, “I’ll try”. What does this tell them? That you are not that bothered whether you are there on time, as your favourite tv program only finishes at 7pm so maybe you’ll wait until then before you leave the house.

“I’ll try” provides you with a “get out” clause for when you are late. It sends the message “I’ll try but I might not make it, I’ll see”. Would you say that to a client? I have yet to hear it. So why disrespect your child / friend / partner in such a way?

Words like hopefully, suppose, try, maybe etc are fillers in conversation that allow us to fail and provides the reason (excuse) – “I said I’d try!” Ha! Think again and commit next time. Commit to treating the other person with the respect they deserve. If they don’t deserve the respect, then say so (but only if you mean it).

So what can you do now, to improve your language and say what you mean?

Say nothing, if your thoughts are not complimentary or positive.

Leave useless criticism where it belongs – unsaid.

Never make assumptions – ASSUME makes an ASS out of U and ME. Always ask for clarification.

Leave out words like “I’ll try” and “I’ll do my best”.

Never take anything said as fact, treat merely as opinion (including this article), unless stated as fact.

Don’t begin a sentence with “I don’t mean to be ****, BUT…”.

If you have nothing good to say, say nothing.

Praise in public, criticise in private.

If you point your finger at someone, remember there are 3 fingers pointing right back at you.

Delete negative and vague words from your language.

Avoid get out clauses - say what you mean.

When giving praise, mean what you say!

Tipperary GAA Scene COUNTY SENIOR HURLING CHAMPIONSHIP Well done to Thurles Sarsfields, Upperchurch Drombane, Drom and Inch and Toomevara on qualifying for the County Senior Hurling semi-finals last weekend. Thurles Sarsfields will play Upperchurch Drombane at 2pm and Toomevara will play Drom and Inch at 3.30pm in the semi-finals at Semple Stadium on Sunday October 4th. Both games are without precedent – neither pairing ever occurred before in a semi-final. Toomevara have won 12 of the 16 semi finals they have played in since 1989. They only lost one of those 12 finals - to Boherlahan in 1996. It will be the first appearance in a semi-final for Upperchurch Drombane but the area has a proud history – Drombane won the county senior hurling championship in 1894.

Leaving aside draws, 22 of the past 50 Tipp Semi Finals have been won by three points or less (1984-2008 incl).

There were 5 draws in that 25 years all involving a team from the Mid division and a Mid team won all of the replays. Thurles Sarsfields have not lost a semi final since Toomevara beat them in 1996 by 1-17 to 0-6. The top semi- final scorers for Drom and Inch in the past twenty five years were Seamus Callanan 1-8 v Killenaule in 2007; Seamus Callanan 1-2 v Nenagh Eire Og in 2006; Seamus Butler 1-10 v Nenagh Eire Óg in 2005 and John Harkin 0-3 v Lorrha in 1984. Ken Dunne has been Toomevara’s top scorer in their last four county semi finals. He scored 1-9 (0-6f), v Moneygall in 2003; 0-10 (0-5f, 0-1 ‘65’) v Mullinahone in 2004; 0-6, all frees, v Mullinahone 2006; and 0-7 (0-4 frees and 0-3 ‘65s’) v Loughmore Castleiney in 2008. He was also Toome’s joint top scorer with Tommy Dunne and Kevin Mc Cormack, 0-4 each, in the 1996 semi-final win over Thurles Sarsfields.

ARRANGEMENTS AT SEMPLE STADIUM FOR SEMI-FINALS Both stands will be open. At the Kinnane Stand (Old Stand), stile no 1 should be used by all pass holders and stewards to gain access. The ambulance door will be used for teams and team officials only. At the O Riain Stand (New Stand) stiles 41 and 54 should be used by all pass holders and stewards. The door beside stile 54 is to be used for wheelchair access. Those with buggies should purchase a ticket at a stile and enter via the ambulance door at the Old Stand or the wheelchair door at the New Stand. We thank patrons in advance for their cooperation.

North Tipp Wheelers After a short break, racing resumed again last week with an extra race to determine handicaps for the Club Championship Road Race. This was won by Eamon Hartnett with Shane Scully and John O'Carroll in second and third. This week, September 20th, the race proper was held and it was a difficult one due to a very stiff head wind which left all the riders gasping. It is great to see new champions coming through and even more exciting when a new club member triumphs so this year the road race gave us the pleasure of seeing new club members fill the first five places and even more unusual was the fact that the first four are new to racing.

Keith Horan took third place and Duncan Hodgins filled the second spot while the new Club Road Race Champion for 2009 is Liam Callaghan.

“Of Mice and Men” at the Source Top US Theatre Company return to the Source with Of Mice and Men Thurles just can’t seem to get enough of the Keegan Theatre, who have included the town in their Irish tours for the last three years. Last here with their fantastic production of One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest, the company have also performed Glengarry Glen Ross and Death of a Salesman on the stage of The Source.

The Keegan Theatre shows are always one of the high points of the theatrical year and 2009 promises to be no exception, as the company will be in town for one night only on Friday 2nd October with an adaptation of John Steinbeck’s classic novella.

Set against the backdrop of the great depression, Of Mice and Men tells the story of two ranch workers on their dream quest for a better life. As their strength as individuals is tested to the limit, a tale of friendship, acceptance and ultimate sacrifice takes shape. With iconic characters, sweeping language and sharp insight into the human condition, this promises to be a not to be missed theatrical experience.

Ragnhild Furebotten at the Source There is a very special concert at The Source Arts Centre, on Thursday 8th October. Thurles will never be the same again as one of the coolest bands on the Norwegian music scene come to town. Featuring Norwegian Grammy award winner Ragnhild Furebotten on fiddle and blues guitarist Tore Bruvoll, the music has a rich folk meets African American feel.

The duo are joined by a double bass player and a drummer to provide an infectious back beat.

Furebotten is steeped in the traditional music of Northern Norway, but is not afraid to mix it up with the best any other field has to offer. She is famed for her dynamic and inventive live shows and will provide an amazing insight into Norwegian traditional music. Tore Bruvoll cut his teeth in the dark Oslo blues clubs, but in recent years, he has crossed over into

more folk and world music. Although he has dabbled in many fields, his music remains rooted in that gutsy blues groove. With Trond-Viggo Solas on double Bass and Christian Svensson on drums, they make up Hekla Stalstrenga.

Day 283 Of My Captivity.

My captors continue to taunt me with bizarre little dangling objects.

They dine lavishly on fresh meat, while I am forced to eat dry cereal.

The only thing that keeps me going is the hope of escape, and the mild satisfaction I get from ruining the occasional piece of furniture. Tomorrow I may eat another house plant.

Today my attempt to kill my captors by weaving around their feet while they were walking almost succeeded; must try this at the top of the stairs. In an attempt to disready to speak for those in trouble & anxi- gust and repulse these vile oppresety.

Grant that I also may learn to use all the circumstances and events of my life to love you and serve the Church, the Pope and all Souls, with joy and simplicity, lighting up the paths of the earth with the brightness of faith and love. Through the intercession of St. Josemaria, please grant me the favour I ask of you. Here make you petition. Amen. Our Father, Hail Mary, Glory be to the Father. J.P.

Decapitated a mouse and brought them the headless body, in attempt to make them aware of what I am capable of, and to try to strike fear into their hearts. They only cooed

and condescended about what a good little cat I was. Hmmm, not working according to plan.

There was some sort of gathering of their accomplices. I was placed in solitary throughout the event.

However, I could hear the noise and smell the food. More importantly I overheard that my confinement was due to MY power of "allergies." Must learn what this is and how to use it to my advantage.

I am convinced the other captives are flunkies and maybe snitches.

The dog is routinely released and seems more than happy to return.

He is obviously a half-wit. The bird on the other hand has got to be an informant, and speaks with them regularly. I am certain he reports my every move. Due to his current placement in the metal room, his safety is assured. But I can wait, it is only a matter of time...

The Lisbon Treaty Overrules the Irish Constitution Is unnecessary. The EU has been working with no serious problems for several years under the Nice Treaty.

Would be rejected in referendums in 90% of countries (Charlie McCreevy). Voters in France and Holland have already rejected the similar EU Constitution.

Is a power grab by the big states. The combined voting power of Germany, France, Italy and Britain goes from 32% to 62% while Ireland’s voting power falls from 2% to 0.8%.

Acknowledges the role of the European Defence Agency in EU institutions, thus promoting the aims of the arms manufacturers.

Prevents Ireland appointing a Commissioner of its own choice. Ireland’s nomination can be refused by the EU president.

Vote No

What you will be voting on: The 28th amendment to the Irish Constitution.

Section 2. Subsection 5. “The State may ratify the Treaty of Lisbon amending the Treaty on European Union and the Treaty establishing the European Community, signed at Lisbon on the 13th day of December, 2007, and may be a member of the European Union established by virtue of that Treaty.”

Subsection 6: “No provision of this (Irish) Constitution invalidates laws enacted, acts done or measures adopted by the State that are necessitated by the obligations of membership of the European Union referred to in sub section 5 (above), or prevents laws enacted, acts done or measures adopted by the said European Union, (or by institutions thereof, or by bodies competent under the treaties referred to in this section), from having the force of law in this state”.
