He doesn't-get really drunk, just takes make him hateful, and hard to . get along with, it seems to change his personality en- tirely. He knows I've al- ways hated drinking and all it stands for. It is tear- ing us apart, and .if if continues it will end our mariiage, four months, He begged me to come liome, promised every- thing. I gave in. Within a few weeks, Lt was the_same story.

What caused the shadow remains 'a mystery: as The Mona Lisa is generally . recognized as Leonardo da Vin- .ci's masterpiece and the' most beautiful portrait of 'a woman ever painted.- No picture has ever had a greater "following". Its haunting, enigmatic charm has inspired countless critical rhapsodies from painters and poets. Leonardo spent four years - painting the Mona Lisa.. The original was the wife of Zanobi de Giocondo, and the artist was so anxious to record on canvas the strangely fascinating smile of his lovely model that he caused to be played while he tertained and thus" keep that subtle expression on her face. Art experts say that the Mona Lisa "has everything." Design, colour, technical accomplish- ment of the highest order are there--and, above all, character.

They seemed like people without -hope ~, . .just waiting, 'Many of them had been trans-. ferred to this new home from a house of refuge where same of them: had spent many years. And I wondered . . . had they any friends -- any family? Had they been placed in the home and forgotten? 'Did they have visitors who .weré interested in them' personally? What was the story "behind their expressions less faces -- what were their feelings? In _ the men's lounge there were about a dozen men. Some smoking, others just - sitting. There were papers and maga- zines but none of them was read=- ing. They were not even talking. In the women's quarters some were reading, writing letters, or doing-- fancy work.

Perch Sleep On Bottom of Lake With an echo=sounder on a forty-foot Navy launch, a researcher from the University of Wisconsin - traced the move- ments of schools of perch in Lake Mendota in Wisconsin and made the remarkable = discovery that the fish spend the night sleeping' on the bottom near the shore. ~The echo sounder's revelations were confirmed by divers: During the daylight hours the perch move in-large schools. at. depths ranging between twenty- five And thirty-five feet below the surface, As the light wanes at sundown théy move toward shore until they: reach the bot- tom. Then the school disperses, and each fish quietly sinks to ~the sand and stays there. This habit of blending into the bottom aroused the scientists' curiosity because the echo-soun= der left it to be inferred that the perch had disappeared. A diver sent below at night with a flash- light found thousands of perch 'on the bottom. When they were disturbed by the flashlight they moved just out"of the brightest beam, 'sank, and went to sleep again,' At daybreak perch rise -and congregate into schools, Soon af- ter sunrise they move back into' deeper water. : THINK IT OVER & Morey you have to pay back always seems like twice as much as you borrowed. ful guest linen "Pattern 838; transfer of six mo- .

Marching Snails About one hundred years ago a species of large snails broke loose from its native Africa and went on the rampage, Since then it hag ranged all over the tropics, destroying, spreading, and causing countless millions . of pounds'. worth' of * damage. "In Africa the giant snail popu- lation had been kept in check by. the natives, who prized them. as food and wore the bright shells. as ornaments. Then a British traveller, W. H. -Benson, took some snails to India and let them loose near Calcutta. The*Indians did not take to them as a delicacy, and they be- gan to spread. By 1900 they had reached :Ceylon, Malaya, Borneo, Sumatra, and Java, = -- To give an idea of how pro- - lific-these creatures are, a pair of them were taken to Hawaii by a4 woman who had holidayed in Formosa. In a few yers they _were completely out of control. Every single snail is an egg producer. One scientist estimat- ed that a single snail, in five years, could give rise to eleven thousand million others, weigh- ing. up to a pound each. The snails travel in and are not fussy about what - they eat. They: strip the country bare of practically all vegeta- tion as they pass over it, So far, the travels of the giant "1 "snail have inclined to. the "east. | "Front Africa it has already worked its.way round the Pa- cific, and has made a few abor- tive attempts to establish itself in the United States. Once it has reached that far one more step would bring-a -plague of giant snails' to Europe. { : WHY YOU SHOULD NOT TAKE SODA ® If you suffer from acid indigestion, hone tburn, acientiss ay hing Soda can aad our 'u oa alkalosis, acid rebound. y Sa.
