over th sounding board and yet it la not a harp you pick the strings like a guitar and yet it is not a guitar you get pianoforte music out of it and yet it la not a piano it is light enough to carry under your arm and you place it flat on the table when you play it advises a writer in the los angeles times its origin is somewhere back in antiquity and probably the first ones played in the swiss alps the mountains of tyrol or the hills of bavaria were patterned after the harp with just a few strings the standard zither has five strings for the melody placed parallel over a series of frets that wilt give as many as four octaves triese ate played guitar fashion with the an gers of the left hand and plucked with a pick on the right thumb the four fingers of the right hand must also control as many as 24 and more bass and contrabass strings placed to the right of the melody strings and playing that many strings for the accompani ment requires some dexterity the zither was probably only a fivestringed instrument in the early days but as time went on they add ed more and more strings to get better effects and it got so compli cated that the number of strings had to be decreased then there were different kinds of tunings of the zith er the viennese the bavarian and bohemian tuning and so on the standard tunings of the melody strings are a a d g and e coral stone is

director of the country homes department of the neighborhood workers association of toronto is beginning to believe there must be for practically every invitation she receives from a country hostess inviting a city child to spend two weeks in her home requests that a little girl about five years old be sent out j each day the problem beoomes more serious for there are scores of boys on the list of those waiting their chance for a holiday in the coon try this sum mer the director says she is unable to explain the preference for girls boys are really less trouble because they can find so many ways of amus ing themselves once they get to the country ont of 1 100 children who were sent out last summer there was only one accident and that nqt serious included in the long list of ap plicants on hand at the nwa of fice are many special cases this does not mean that the children will require extra special attention in some cases there is a little brother and bister who should be placed in the same home in another case there are twin brothers both eager to be sent to the same farm in many canes there are children not strong enough to be sent to summer camps because of last years attack of polio these youngsters need sunshine rest and wholesome food to build them up all of which can only be supplied to them through the generosity of a country hostess every case that is recommended by a district worker to the country homes department has been care- rully investigated the need is ur gent though some or the children are rundown they are all medic ally examined before leaving the city and cannot obtain their railway tick et unless the doctor pisses them the neighborhood workers associ ation of toronto earnestly solicits the oooperation of countrywomen in helping to provide holidays

by a letter from the local minister or a promin ent person of the community am ants a nuisance hfate at- the unyaothtnseotaknownasanta are especially numerous in the sum mertime and are frequently unwel come intruders in homes and gardens there are many species of them all are social in their nabtts and live to gether in colonies the majority of the ants in a colony and the ones most commonly seen are wingless- undevel oped female workers which a re in capable of reproducing their kind a common and troublesome house hold species is the tiny reddishyellow pharaohs ant which originated in the tropics but is now widespread in canada the common large black carpenter ant is normally an outdoor species nesting principally in decaying wood but frequently occurs in dwell ings particularly frame houses and summer cottages and may cause dam age to woodwork a third common species is the small yellowishbrown lawn ant which nests in lawns and gardens and often enters houses in search of food destructive powder according to the division of ento mology science service department of agriculture ottawa the most sat isfactory material for destroying ants is sodium fluoride sold by druggists in the form of a fine white powder this powder should be scattered or blown with sn insecticide puffer or dustgun in places where the ants occur and shoud not be removed until the insects have disappeared sodi um fluoride is a poison and should not be exposed in places where child ren or pets mas have access to it another method recommended as par ticularly effective against pharaohs ants consists ot using a polsoned- bait trap this is made by punching several holes in the sides of a small tin can with a tight lid and placing in it a small piece of sponge and a small quanlty of syrup prepared by mixing 4 ounces of sugar and 14 ounce of honey in onehalf pint of hot water and adding gram of sodium arsenlte the worker ants are greatly attracted tothe bait and take it to their nests to feed the larvae and queen thus the whole colony is des troyed the number of tins to use depends on the size of the premises and the extent or the infestation in preparing and using this bait it should be borne in mind that sodium arsen- ite is very poisonous to humans ants may be discouraged from en tering houses by keeping shelves ta bles and floors as tree as possible from food fragments and by storms food stuffs in antproof containers ta ad dition openings in floors and walls through which anta may enter should be carefully plugged when it is pos- smlo to find the nests in the ground outside the ant colonies may be des troyed by iwncturfng holes in the surface and pouring in a small quant ity of carbon bisulphide heavy gas is given off by uds liquid and its ef fect may be increased by covering the nest with an old coat or sacking care should be taken not to expose carbon bisulphide near fire as it is very inflammable pa for toronto passengers sunday only the annual
