Dorothy Dix Says

crazy If you are determined to marry
the girl, aches and all, and let your
self in for q lifetime OF listening
to the means and whines Of a COM
planning wife. No man who was
in his right mind would commit
such a folly. The only advice I
can give you is to entreat you to
break off your engagement and
leave your sorrowing Susan to en-
Joy her poor health without your
having to pay the doctors bills.
Don't delude yourself for a min
ute into thinking that marriage will
change her. 1t won't. In fact, it
will aggravate the symptoms, for
wives favorite alibi is some ailment
that they cherish because it ex-
cuses them from doing anything
they don't want to do and permits
them to do whatever they do want
to do Also, I would remind you
that it is cheaper to set up yacht
or fly your own plane than 1t is to
have a wife who is a perpetual
doctors bill. Furthermore, I would
call your attention to the fact that
whining, complaining and neu-
rotic wife is about as dull company
as you could pick out. Nothing is
more boring than to listen to other
peoples symptoms.
I would say that this girl is a
case for psychiatrist. not for the
altar. Or else she is just bone lazy
and am inclined to the latter be-
lief. Don't marry this girl if you
value your happiness.

DEAR MISS DIX: I am 26 years
Of age and engaged to a girl Of 81
with whom I am desperately in love
But our engagement has brought
to my attention trait of her char
acter that is beginning to make me
uneasy and perpleXed. Although
she is the picture of health, she is
always suffering. Nobody ever had
so many aches and pains. She has
a headache, or her back hurts, OF
her legs are sore, or she has pain
in her tunlmy or her arms, or her
Jaw is awfully sore.
In the winter she suffers from
the cold "a hours day. In the
summer she almost perishes from
the heat. A small pimple, cut or
bruise renders her completely help
less. Work or recreation she avoids
like the plague. She is always eat
ing something that disagrees with
her and, she always gives in. to her
pains.
She is the only girl in the world
for me, but i am convinced that
this entire suffering complex of hers
is all in her mind. She is the most
friendly and likable girl you could
ever meet, but this fault is begin
ming to get on my nerves, If she
suffers this much in the prime of
her life, how will she be when she
reaches so or 60? I am so crazy
about her that I would marry her
II she had twice the pains she has
now, but would like some advice
on what to do about the situation.
Can you help me? PUZZLED.
AnsWer-Ycu certainly must be

In Case of Fire

H. Edward Bilkey, president Of
the H. e. Bilkey Corporation of New
York and insurance consultant to
the American Hotel Association,
underscores the Boards statement.
THE fire safety rules for hotel
guests" says Mr.. Bilkey, have been
developed after careful considera-
ton of many different types OF fires
and different types of construction.
The rules themselves outline clearly
what should be done in case of fire.
II is most important, however. to do
everything possible to prevent the
fire from getting started and gain
ing headway Cooperation Of guests
with management Is most essential" !"
Mr.. Bilkey adds a note of warn
| ing about an old but vicious fire
hazard. "One Of the most impor-
tant rules" he points out, that of
not smoking in bed, should be en-
phasized again and again, for not
only does smoking in bed endanger
| the life of the man doing the snok-
Ing, but also the lives Of other guests
of the hotel"
According to Major General Phil
lip E. Fleming, Federal Works ad-
ministrator, the fire toll has been
rising since 1884, and 1916 was the
most destructive year in our recent
history, with a property loss Of 1851, :
487 900. This was an increase of %
per cent over the 1945 total. de-
cenber, 1896" stated the General,
showed the heaviest fire loss for
any single month in the last Is
years, $4,000, ,o00" The loss in life,
of course, cannot be estimated.
/ President Truman has called a
National Conference on Fire Pre-
vention here in Washington on May
6, 7 and g. General Fleming will
preside as chairman. Committees
will present recommendations on
special aspects of the fire preven-
ton problem, including enforce
ment, fire fighting equipment, law
revision and building codes.

Iarea at the end Of the board without
danger OF burning the cover. This is
q good feature for those OF YOU who
have the old style iron that YOU
have to tilt on Its end, for the cover

Because of the nature of the glass.

any mild soap on it, then stroke
with a clean damp cloth and youll

ONLY when you are not actually

should make ironing more OF
pleasure than a chore.
There's been many q joke made
about a can opener, but we don't
