Zither Teachers
Growing Scarce
MILWAUKEE, Wli„ Dec, 10—(U.R>
— Things are not going too well (or
lovers of either music.
Alberta Kraeder of Los Angeles,
who recently played a either con-
cert In Milwaukee, claims she Is
the only either teacher left In the
United States.
Not only that, but the last firm
In the country to make zithers has
gone out of business. The Schwars-
er Zither Co., of Washington, Mo.,
recently folded after making sithers
for S3 years.
Officials of the Milwaukee Zither
Club, one of the last two such or-
ganizations In America, say the
Schwarzer firm made about 11,000
zithers and that thousands of others
have been brought Into this country
from Europe. They say most of
them are still around, probably bur-
led In trunks In attics all across the
country.
The last outpost on the zither
frontier hopes for a revival of Inter-
est In the strange Instrument, and
the Milwaukee zither orchestra gives
periodic concerts, although there
doesn't seem to be much public en-
thusiasm for the orchestra's high-
pitched efforts any more.

Bad News Brewed
For Grain Insects
MAHATTAN, Kan. Dec. 19 —(U.R)
— Kansas State College scientists
have developed techniques for lis-
tening to hidden Insects chewing
inside kernels of wheat and other
grains.
The work has practical applica-
tion. Por example, It is possible to
Judge the effectiveness of fumi-
gants designed to kill off the In-
sects In grain.
The college investigators have
been able to detect hidden Insects
In all except the egg and extremely
early larval stage. In the larval and
pupal stages, the Insects appear to
produce two distinct types of
sound. One is a low frequency
scraping noise, believed to be made
within the kernels; the other is a
high frequency sound, probably
caused by chewing.
Kansas State's work in electron-
ics to detect hidden grain Insects
has been done by R. E. Adams,
graduate student In electrical en-
gineering; Dr. J. E. WoJfe of the
electrical engineering department,
and Drs. Max Miller and J. A.
Shellenberger of the flour and feed
milling departments.
