Housewives of Thames have been troubled lately with swarms of the small black ant, which have infested larders and mined foodstuffs not protected by adequate covering, states the Thames “Star.” Kettles of
boiling water, or borax, or any of the other tried remedies have been in frequent request, but the unwelcome visitors are proving very tenacious. One resident, armed with a kettle of hot water, followed the ants’ trail, which led him right round his house to a post near his front entrance, where the nest was located. His enterprise was fully rewarded, as since the liberal application of boiling water he has not been troubled with the pest.

A laugh was raised at one of the sessions of the conference of the Municipal Association of New Zealand in Christchurch when the Mayor of Christchurch, Mr D. G. Sullivan, M.P., announced that a remit from Mart inborough had been “lost unanimously.” The proposal which incurred the general disapproval of delegates was that section 87 of the Municipal Corporations Act, 1933. he extended to apply to the water rate, the water loan rate, and all other, rates
so as to enable councils to stop the supply of water to any person who failed to pay all rates for which he was liable. Mr Sullivan >aid lie thought that action along the lines suggested; would be inhuman in times like the present, when many decent people could not meet their obligations.
