The Old Gardener Says:

The question. How shall I get
the ants out of my lawn?" bobs
up every season. Yet no better
method CT exterminating these
insects has been discovered than
the one which has been recon-
mended for several seasons-the
use of carbon bisulphide, which
produces a poisonous gas deadly
to insects. The gassing of the
ants is done by making holes in
the ground with a Crowbar or
sharp stick wherever a nest can
found. A tablespoonful of car
bon bisulphide is dropped into
each hole and Immediately COW
cred with soil. or. better still,
with a piece Of turf or a wet
blanket. This covering should be
left in place for about four hours,
and two applications at intervals
of several weeks may be neceS-
sary. It is important to keep in
mind that carbon bisulphide is
highly inflammable and that it
should be stored as carefully as
gasoline. The wise gardenmaker
will also refrain from smoking
while he is using this material.

Everyday Psychology
Animal Psychology.
BY DIR. JESSE W. sPROWLs.

1t is still true that the proper study
Of mankind Is man." But the fact Is
that man is an animal. When that
fact was finally sccepted by the stu
dents OF human nature, the psycholo-
gists did The only logical thing they
could do. They began to study man
in the making. That's the reason for
animal psychology today.
As we now look back over the ad-
vancement of psychology oyer some
1000 years, we find that relatively little
was known about the human mind until
thirty years ago. OF course, a lot Of
things had been said, lot Of guesses
had been made. A bundle of disagree
ments called psychology was the result.
When the psychologists began to
study mind In its beginnings-the
amoeba, the earthworm, the white rat,
and other carriers Of mind, they found
themselves agreeing upon fundamentals.
In this way psychology as a science
went forward with leaps and bounds.
Let the animal psychologists stick to
their task. In time they will give us a
chart of the human mind. When that
chart is constructed, we will know what
sort of creature man Is.

How it Started
To Score" "
BY JEAN NEWTON.

To Score"
We score so many points at bridge,
they score at base ball and at foot ball
and the record of the points is called
"the score" Strange isn't it that lit
orally scoring meant cutting?
We have the word from the Anglo
Saxon 'sceran," to scar, or divide, and
the kindred Icelandic "skor." an in
cision. 1t was the cut made on the
old wooden tallies on which, in pre-
writing days, accounts of business
transactions were kept, that was the
original score" The transition in
meaning from the name of the cut to
the record which it represented, is
easily comprehensive.

LIBBY'S INFANT

IN HOT Bed
Extra Precautions Adopted to
Guard Baby Against Any
Complications

PHILADELPHIA, Jan. 16
d.NSo.-Libby Holman Reynolds
three and a half pound baby is
losing weight.
It was admitted today by John
N. Hatfield, superintendent Of The
Pennsylvania Hospital, that the
tiny heir to the estate of Zachary
Smith Reynolds, found mysteri
oHsly shot to death at his home in
Winston Salem, N. c., last July 6,
had lost weight since 1t was born
last Tuesday. He declined to state
how much.
Some Apprehension Felt
Such a loss would not be un-
usual in the case Of q normal
child, the superintendent said,
but some apprehension was felt
because Libby's baby was born
three weeks prematurely. Hat
field said most infants lose weight
the first week or two after birth.
Extra precautions have been
taken, the superintendent said,
to prevent any serious complica-
tions arising from the child's loss
in weight. He reported the con-
dition Of mother and babe as
satisfactory"
Libby HASN'T Seen Him,
Libby has not yet seen her tiny
son, tightly covered in his incu-
bator like "hot bed" He is kept
in q specially. heated room ad-
joining his mothers, but the for
mer Broadway singer viii not be
able to see him until she can

reports that the statement he IS
sued at Wilmington, Del., re-
nouncing all but a modest sum
of the tobacco fortune Of Smith
Reynolds for Libby and her child
had been issued without consult
