Dear Ann Landers
Man's Tattoo ..Boils
-Dear Ann Landers: My hus-
band has the name of his 'first
wife tattooed on his wrist. When-
ever 1 see it 1 boil inside:
When we are out with new
friends someone always asks,
"Who is Mabel?" Ed answers,
"Oh, Mabel was my first. wife.
Nice girl." I don't think this
helps get us off to a very good
start 'with people. Especially
since we've been married 15
years.
',have asked Ed to please get
Mabel's name off his wrist but
he says it isn't possible to re-
move a tattoo. Is this true or
false?—Skin Deep.
Dead Deep: Tattoos can .be
removed in a variety 'df ways,
depending on the location and
the size of the- decoration., ,.If
your husband really wants to
get rid of "Mabel" permanently,
a dermatologist can do it, but
suspect he rattler- enjoys her
as a Conversation piece.
,Dear Ann Landers: I am al-
lergic to alcohol. coffee. tea. -
milk. citrus fruit. and soft

Dear, Presh; If a guest does
not wish to eat or drink for any-
tiot wish to east or drink for any
reason he is under no obligation
to explain. it is not necessary
to give an organ reciel1 as a de-
fense.
When a guest says '''No thank
you" that should settle it: If it
doesn't settle it, he- should re-
peat "No thank you" until it
does settle it.
Dear Ann Landers: 1 am 12
year Old and 1 have already
learned some wisdom that 1 \\ ant
to 'pass on. When my parents
said, "No, you cant have that.'

self, „Boy., are they ever mean.

I'm going to ht,iy than every;
thing they want."
Well, two week, ago -my ma:.

passed the full buckets, the
other returned the empties.
The hand condenser pumper
produced in Europe was slow
to reach the new world. De-
spite, the early 19th century
invention of the steam engine,
the old hand pumper, mostly
drawn by manpower, was still
chiefly relied upon. These
pumpers were often artistic-
ally decorated
New the story enters .the 20th
century,., the era of the steam
nuniper and its maenificent
horses, and its men of muscle
and courage. The handful of
larger places had naid fire
fiehting denartments. For the
rest, the 'volunteer brigade ;was
still the only protection.
The horses have long since
gone. It is the machine' age,
with high pressure pumpers
and high aerial ladders, man-
ned by skilled crews.

be noted 'fire proof". But not-}

Fires rarely just "happen''!
Nine. out of every ten fires are
the result of sheer careless-
ness and thoughtless neglect
of simple precautions.
A penny and electricity are pretty important. The lady knows
'that the penny will buy enough electricity to cook her lunch.
But what she doesn't know is that if she puts the penny in the
fuse box she stands to fry herself — permanently.
Only one thing should go in that bot — a fuse. and the prop-
er size for the ordinary circuit is a 15. never, never, never
use a 30.
If all the ladies of, the land (and, for that matter, the gentle-
men, too) realize the deadliness of "over -fusing” there would
