acquisitions, the Small Cruel
fixion," by Grunewald. Is con-
sidered by the gallery to be the
outstanding German painting in
America, from the viewpoint Of
rarity and emotional intensity.
Dating about 1905 to 1910. it is
one of a dozen or so paintings
now known by Grunewald, and
the first to come to America. It
is noted for its intensity Of ex-
preston.
Among the high points Of the
sculpture group is a bust by
Bernini of Cardinal Francesca
Barberini. finished sometime
before 1927. At its base Is q bee,
the heraldic device Of the Bar
berini. 1t comes from the col
lection of the Barberini family,
whose members in the 18th CEN
fury were outstanding patrons Of
Italian art. and are said to have
transformed the appearance of
Rome In o generation.
Remarkable pieces are two
life-size polychromed wood fig
ures by Nino Pisano, Arch
angel Gabriel" and the Virgin
Annunciate." probably dating
between 1860 and 1868. They
are In q fine state Of preserva-
ton for wooden sculptures Of the
14th century.
Two Other Titians
Besides the ceiling, Titan Is
represented by two of his great
est portraits, the 'Doge Andrea
Gritti" and Admiral Vincenzo
Capello." Other italian MASTER
pieces are the Madonna and
Child" by Ghirlandaio. and Tin
toretto's Conversion of st.
Paul." which is nearly eight feet
long and a powerful scene Of
chaos when a regiment Of cav
airy Is overwhelmed by the au-
thority Of God.
"Rebecca at the Well" painted
in 1880, is one of three works
by Veronese In the showing. Its
subject, taken from Genesis, Is
the recognition by Abraham's
old servant of the young woman
destined to be Abraham's daugh-
ter-in-law. and the presentation
Of jewels to her.
The portrait of Eleanora di
Toledo by Bronzino is seen as
expressive Of the uneasiness Of
18th century Florence. The
wife OF the Tuscany ruler. the
grand Duke Cosimo, was painted
many times by Bronzino. but this
portrait. perhaps the last, shows
unhappiness and establishment
in her face.
Ell Greco's Earliest
One of the FL Grecos. Christ
Cleansing the Temple" dating
about 1870, is frequently cited
as the artists earliest signed
painting. 1t was executed in
Venice before FL Greco went to
/ Spain. The later painting is
Holy Family"
/ French paintings include one
OF the two signed works by
Francois Clouet, and is thought
to represent Diane de Poitiers,
the favorite of Henry II of
France, in her bath. Painted
sometime between 1850 and 1875,
it is considered artistically well
ahead of its time, in one detail
for a still life of fruit.

Widespread Problem
Answer: Excessive perspiration
lis a widespread problem. To some
degree, all of us are affected.
You find proof of this IN the
existence of the flourishing. mul.
ti-million-dollar deodorant in
dustry. 1t thrives because it is
the normal. physiologic thing for
people to sweat. OF course, it can
be nuisance-as in the case Of
Mr.. c. r. Within normal bounds,
it is a necessity. 1t is a by-product
of normal skin function.
For example, here is what
sweating accomplishes: it is prob
ably the most important factor
in dissipating the body's heat.
About 95 per cent of body heat
loss is dependent upon the skin.
This occurs through what is
called radiation, convection and
conduction of heat from the body
to the surrounding atmosphere.
Sweat itself is weak solution
of sodium chloride in water. 1t
also contains small amounts Of
urea, potassium and Tactic acid.
The purposes of perspiration,
substances: for keeping the skin
then, are for eXcreting certain
substances; for keeping the skin
moist; and for heat regulation
by evaporation.
AS in all problems of this kind,
the family doctor is the one to,
solve it. However. Mr.. c. R. has
given US one important lead in
his letter. Although he is not a
short man, ! think he is carrying
around excess weight.
Whether or not his extra
amount of fat is contributing
to his discomfort is only a guess.
I think. however, that he should
begin to attack his problem on
the obesity front. With your doc
tors permission, take off about
80 or 40 pounds. From my ex-
Iperience this relatively simple
treatment will do more for the
perspiration problem than many
others. You can't be fat and fit,
Mr.. C. r. DisSolving your excess
poundage will not only help your
perspiration; what is even more
important is taking off those ex-
ira pounds for the sake of your
weak legs. Why overload an al
I'ready overburdened extremity?

Dear DR.. Steincrohn: I enjoyed
long walks until polio affected

haps the greatest handicap is
my perspiration. which is Excess

after having walked several
blocks. perspiration runs down

soaking wet and even my chest
is spotted with perspiration seen
through the shirt. This embar-

pie. cling to old common law
water rules, but vary in their
application Of it. In some, the
legal theory is that landowners
have rights to everything below
them to the center of the earth,
including water. So a landowner
can pump out all he wants, re-
CARELESS of whether this drains
the supply from beneath his
Ineighbor's land.
Elsewhere, the courts may re-
strain owners who exploit under
ground water to the detriment
of others. In other areas entire
ly different rules apply if the
water being pumped comes from
a flowing underground stream
instead of stable subterranean
lake.
Some States have statutes
which limit the extent of pump
ing in any given area. Others
divide themselves into water dis
tricts and let each district con-
troll its own problems.
In any case, if you are think
ing of building a home "out ir
the country" or beginning ar
enterprise that requires much
water, better check the local Law
as well as the water supply first

The truth Is Aunt Connie is q
plain old maid and she hates me.
THE COUNCILS VIEWS

plain old maid and she hates me.
THE COUNCILS VIEWS
The unhappiness in this home
appears to stem largely from
Mrs. S. SIS too maternal and
overprotective attitude toward
her sister Lillian rightly feels
that Connie is being taken into
the home as another daughter,
and resents this. Connie, too, ap-
pears to be all too ready to settle
into the position of her sisters
older daughter and to have all
the rights and privileges of a
member of the family.
Lillian may be exaggerating in
Ia teen-ager's self -dramatizing
way when she says her aunt
hates her. but her mother should
consider the possibility that there
is some element of truth in Lii
lian's accusation that her aunt
bears an old maidiSh resentment.
This is not a healthy situation
for anyone in the family-least
of all for Connie, who is sup
posed to be the recipient of her
sisters kindness. 1t is all very
fine for Mrs. S. S. to offer her
lonely sister a place in her home,
but her conduct should be a sis
terly one, which takes the ST.
woman on an equal
level.
Her pampering of Connie and
her pity for her are not helpful.
If Connie were expected to re-
spect the integrity Of this family.
she would have to reach out to
find more satisfying and init
mate relationships of her own
and would perhaps be forced to
correct the conduct which causes
her to lose friends.
Much damage has been done
here. but it is still possible Lillian
can grow to accept and like her
aunt if Mrs. S. S. tries to correct
her own attitude and obtains
Comics cooperation. Mrs. S. S.
needs to feel and show her
daughter that the girls happi-
ness is her first consideration.
If Lillian is sure of this she will
be less inclined to feud with her
aunt.
