My home| ing from the second floor | through the cellar, I have had a same. Would painters muslin cover suck cracks permanently?)

STAINED MARBLE TABLE QUESTION: We purchased a mosaic table top for a coffee table in Italy, a few years ago. We find the black marble back- ground stains very badly. We put a high ball glass on it and it leaves a ring. Most every- thing stains it, We've neve: been able to remove stains for fear of marring the lustre or glass of the marble. What do you suggest? ANSWER: Coasters should be used under glasses containing alcohol or fruit juices to protect the marble surface. Any spilled liquids should be washed off with clean water as soon as pos- sible. Slight stains can be re- moved with a small amount of] hydrogen peroxide and am- monia, or amyl acetate and ace- tone; then rinse with clear water and wipe dry with clean soft cloth. Marble cleaning kits are available at many house- wares and hardware dealers; follow label directions carefully. Recommend sending 10 cents to the Marble Institute of America, 32 Fifth Ave., Mt. Vernon, N.Y. for a copy of their leaflet on marble care.

It was about a foot |. /|thick and water from the sno jammed up behind the ice, back- ing up and leaking through the shingles; it went down through the outside partitions and came out of the subfloor of the cellar ceiling. Can you recommend a solution? ANSWER: Adequate attic air circulation and ventilation and insulated ceilings below the roof help prevent ice dam and back- installed insulation prevents ing the ice to melt from under- neath, rather than from the top surface by the sun, installing a metal flashing, at least three feet wide, from the gutter edge, up under the roof shingles, will prevent leakage through the shingles.
