and he's been in the hospital
nine t1Tnes because of it, He had
always drunk some, but now he
is growing worse. I've managed
to hold on to my position and
take care of all obligations, in-
cluding Ms 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
hien, I 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 conte straight
home from work there wouldn't
be any parent home with hien.
(I can't plan much for him as
things are. fol 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
iiscuss it. I've asked him to
atop for me a' work and we'd
'ome home together; that didn't
work, and 111 not ask him
again. I've.. even left hinr, and
then he lands in the hospital and
pleads with me to come home.
It has been a mistake to take
him back tun soon.
"He has his points. He is
fond hearted, cooks dinner now
and then (he likes to) and has
fine qualities all along the line,
for which I +'ave praised him
regularly. But I am growing
weary of all the obligations I
have to tweet because so roach
money goes into taverns.

a change I'm afraid this time
it will he permanent. It de-
serves long consideration, and
I'm not one to give up easily.
But I've had years of it, and

FLAMING PASSION
Fire Brigade Captain Franz
Fazeny, of Steyr, Austria, was
t;eeply in love with Maria Sad -
leder. The snag to his courting
was that she lived in a neigh-
bourhlg village and his duties
didn't allow him sufficient time
to woo her.
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-
haming, the village in which
Maria lived. He started the fires
so that he could see more of her,

Insect Spray Saved
Great Masterpiece
Just over 450 years ago a great
minter 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 wast painted.
But in 1954 the picture has
emerged triumphantly from its
biggest crisis.
During the war, bombs rained
on the Milan church where it is
painted on the wall, 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, "wizard of restora-
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 contracted 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 •
:ids 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
inch.
Gradually as the wall was
heated the mould disappeared.
With a transparent lacquer free
of wax, Professor Pellicioli
'tackled the picture. Various
methods of easing the lacquer
on to the flaking paint were
tried i11 vain.
Then Pellicioli used an ordin-
ary fine insert spray. Injected
as a vapour the lacttircr 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.
