I've managed to hold on to my position and take care of all obligations, in- cluding. his debts. "I took all this while my son was growing up. (This is not the first job I had to get.) I've tried having whiskey in the house, but in a Sunday after- noon the whole quart is gone, I've kept beer in the icebox, but he prefers stopping at tav- erns on the way home. """*When our son was younger and my sister could: stay with him, 1 tried sitting in taverns with my husband for. . hours, drinking cokes and saying noth- ing, Now our boy is growing up; if -I didn't -come straight home from work there wouldn't be any parent home with him, (I can't plan much for him as things are, for we spend most .of our time waiting for his Dad.) I've pleaded with my husband to stop drinking (he calls that nagging) but he re- fuses to take the cure or even discuss it. I've asked him to stop for me at work and we'd- come hore together; that didn't work, and I'll not ask him again, I've even left him, and then he lands in the hospital and pleads with me to come home, It has been a mistake to take - him 'back too soon. "He has his points, He is good-hearted, cooks dinner now and then (he likes to) and has fine qualities all along the line, for which I bave praised him regularly, But I am growing weary of all the obligations I have to meet because so much - money goes into taverns.

Fazeny thought of a scheme whereby , he could see Maria - more often, but the scheme fell through when the captain was convicted of arson after start- ing three fires in nearby All- kaming, the village in which Maria lived. He started the fires so that he could see more of her.

Masterpiece Just over 450 years ago a great painter laid down his brush - after completing his masterpiece. But the beauty of the picture he left as a wonder for all time soon became dimmed. Generations of art experts have fought the decay problems of Leonardo da Vinci's "The Last Supper." It was actually- too blurred to be seen. only 70 years after-it was painted. ~ But. in 19564 the picture has emerged triumphantly from its biggest crisis. voila During the war, bombs rained on the Milan church where it is painted on the will, Amid the ruins, only the "Last. Supper" "wall was'left standing. Its cover of sandbags. stood open to.rain and 'wind. Damp soon moulded the picture and the wall itself was liable to collapse. -° For three years nothing could be done. Fallen beams had to be raised inch by inch, debris cleared and the rooms and roof rebuilt. Then Professor Mario Pellicioli, tion," was called in. - He remembered the mistakes of the restorers: through .the ages. One man had tried to pre- serve the picture by coating the surface with oil. - The oil had merely collected dirt which fur- ther obscured the colours. An- other expert tried to stick down the scaling paint with glue, This .caused only further blistering and crumbling: In addition, the wall expand- - ed and contricted in hot and cold seasons causing paint cracks. In the new building Professor Pellicioli incorpor-. ated heating pipes at a certain distance from the wall on either iide to maintain an even tem- perature at back and front. To prevent any settlement of the wall, the: sandbags were gently opened and the sand al- __lowed to seep away only inch by "wizard of restora- ° hurriedly cased and rushed to the zoo. . g Unknown to the family the Jangs had grown again and the poison sacs were full. The sol- dier's family had been toying for weeks with death! Yet many people make pets of pythons, boa-constrictors and .even rattlesnakes. A club form- ed for these serpent-minded folk has hundreds of members. One enthusiast breeds pythons for profit. A python can lay up to 90 eggs at a sitting and. a three. foot specimen is worth 50. : Rearing them is tricky, how- ever. With only one lung apiece snakes are peculiarly liable to lu and pneumonia. A snake- dancer's full-grown python fell ill with flu and, faced with the cancellation of her. music-hall bookings 'throughout Britain, she consulted the highest experts. "Keep him warm!" was all they could advise. So she put the python to bed with hot- water bottles, then climbed in alongside him for extra warmth, stayed in bed a' fortnight--and restored him to health. It you see a snake it's com- forting to know that it can hardly see you. Nor can it hear, though' snake charmers are aware that snakes are acutely sensitive to vibrations. Their forked tongues actually sense the vibrations in the air and, coupled with their strong sense - of. smell, enable them to find. their food.

Pointer Joe Points Out He's Bashful By RALPH MONCRIEF NEA Staft Correspondent Dallas, Tex. -- (NEA) -- Jo, a pointer, is a doggoned good 'dog. Only thing is, he's self- conscious around crowds; they ° embarrass him. A water main broke in: Jo's. neighborhood recently, and the houses on his street were with=- out water for a couple of days. No one seemed to want to do anything about it until Jo got thirsty: and his 16-year-old mis- tress, Mary Ellen Reeves, ed the newspapers. That got ac- tion, It also caused Jo no end of trouble. inch. : Gradually as the wall was heated the mould disappeared. With a transparent lacquer free of wax, Professor Pellicloli tackled the picture. Various: methods of easing the lacquer 'on to the flaking paint were ° tried in vain. : Then Pellicioli used an ordin- ary fine insect spray. Injected as a vapour the lacquer was worked slowly. into the picture with long, soft brushes. Soon it was incorporated with the paint and the art target of hundreds of years was attained, "The Last Supper" was fixed for ever. Took Snake To Bed | To Cure The Flu Are you scared of snakes?
