Last one. 30d Publication to pass over material (8) O - G - N - - I - Looks like ORGANDIE, but why?
29d Humorous dictum put relaives by marriage in changed position (10, 3) P - R - I - S - N - L - W Looks like PARKINSON LAW, again why?
Thanks for help.

a publication - organ. to pass over - to die. material organdie.

[bookbinder]

30d A newspaper or magazine is sometimes referred to as an "organ". It's old-fashioned, but it's true. So, you get ORGAN and pass over, which is to die, thus ORGAN DIE.

put = park

relaives by marriage = sons-in-law, in changed position => in sons law

[a.trembath]

A publication is an organ - to die is to "pass over" - organdie is material.

Parkinsons law is itself a humorous dictum - and it "parks" son-in=law , i.e. relative by marriage - in a different position in the word

[grasscarp]

put - park, sons in law in changed position is insons law
