Tattooing was first done by
rubbing coloring matter into
wounds. Later chisels and NAL.
lets were adopted and this method
has persisted unchanged for many
years except for the introduction
of the electric needle.
Many complications have arisen
from nnhygienic practices in
tattooing. Gangrene. lockjaw and
blood poisoning have caused death.
and cases of tuberculosis. leprosy
and syphilis have been traced to
the tattooer. More sterile methods
are now used by some operators,
but because much tattooing is still
done in carniyals. street fairs and
in underworld dives, the hazards
are much the same as they were a
hundred years ago.
Because of the dangers OF spread
ing disease, tattooing has been pro-
hibited in Japan for many years.
But the United States has no Fed
era1 law regulating it. Only three
cities. Cleveland, San Francisco
and Norfolk, prohibit or regulate
it in any way.

The father is in the prime OF

This story is about the wife

The first problem that glared

dren and that house belonged to
her. And, indeed. she had earned
the right to feel that way.
Fortunately for everybody con.
cerned. there was plenty Of money
to solve all the family problems
--and that Is great help. That
is why Stepmother could dispose
OF Aunt Amy so tactfully and
painlessly. She persuaded her
husband to give Aunt Amy the
old family home and then build
a new home way out in fashion,
able suburb of the city. That
relieved everybody Of embarrass-
ment or heartache. and after that
Aunt Amy decided to be resigned
to her brothers remarriage.
Then there were the daughters
both OF them little uneasy as
to the new relation. And both of
them old enough to be married
and have homes of their own.
