IN THE BEGINNING • A slipshoe was an old word for a slipper, comfortable footwear for use in the home. People who wore these informal slippers in public places instead of the regular shoes were said to be “slipshod.” Now it means anything done in a careless fashion.

• When horses are “rough-shod” they have shoes on which have the ends of the nails sticking out. This gives the horse more traction, but it tears up the ground the animal travels over.

When someone “rides rough-shod” over another person, they are trampling the ground beneath them without caring.

• Wooden shoes called “sabots” were popular in days gone by because they were cheaper than leather shoes. They gave us our word “sabotage.” One story is that when workers went on strike, they would throw their “sabots” into the factory’s machinery, ruining the gears in an act of “sabotage.” Another more likely story is that because walking in wooden shoes is clunky and clumsy, and people wearing them tended to be bungling, therefore anything that was deliberately bungled up was “sabotaged.”

(continued): • Stiletto comes from the Italian word stilo meaning ‘dagger’ or ‘stylus.’ The contemporary stiletto was invented in the 1950s by Italian shoe designer Salvatore Ferragamo, who made his first pair for Marilyn Monroe using alligator hide. The styles back then were tame by today’s standards, with heels no taller than about 3 inches.

• The word “sneaker” is often attributed to an advertising agent who, in 1917, coined the term because the rubber sole made the shoe stealthy.

The name “sneakers” referred to how quiet the rubber soles were on the ground, in contrast to noisy hard leather-soled dress shoes. Someone wearing sneakers could “sneak up” on you while someone wearing standard shoes could not.

• Australian fashion lore has it that Ugg really does stand for “ugly.” The sheepskin boots have been used by outdoorsy Australians for decades, but they were designed to be utilitarian rather than fashionable.

• Sandals were first worn in warm climates where the soles of the feet needed protection but the top of the feet needed to be cooler.

• Before the 19th century there was no left or right shoe, they were both identical.

• “Schubert” and “Schumann” both mean shoemaker.

IF THE SHOE FITS • 88% of women wear shoes that are one or two sizes too small, usually because they were once that size but haven’t been properly measured in years.

• The best time to try on shoes is usually at the end of the day when your feet are the most swollen.

• 43% of women confessed they have been at least moderately injured by shoes and 8% reported serious injuries like sprains or breaks.

MORE SHOE FACTS • Because of stringent new environmental laws in Europe, the chemical composition of Barbie dolls changed to a softer plastic that doesn’t produce as many toxic gases when burned.

To show that the new plastic was non-toxic to children who might swallow pieces of Barbie, they tied plastic Barbie shoes to tethers and fed them to pigs. The shoes were retrieved at various points in the digestive process and weighed to show that there was no absorption.

• In the 1950s DuPont decided leather was no good for shoes because leather wears out.

DuPont invented an imitation leather that they claimed would never wear out. They called it Corfam. Not only did Corfam never wear out, it also never broke in. Shoes would not mold themselves to fit the wearer’s foot like leather does. Instead, the shoes “wore like armor plate,” according to “Time” magazine. Corfam did not breathe like leather, resulting in hot sweaty feet, and it was also more expensive than leather.

DuPont lost over a quarter million dollars on Corfam shoes.

SHOES IN SPORTS • Bobby Jones was golfing in the Southern Amateur Tournament in New Orleans in 1920 when his ball landed inside an old shoe that was sitting on top of a wheelbarrow. Jones decided not to take the penalty for dropping the ball out of the shoe, and instead he played the shoe. He whacked it as hard as he could. The ball flew out and kept rolling, landing a few feet from the green. Jones made par.

WILLIAM SCHOLL

• William Scholl was born in LaPorte, Indiana in 1882 as one of 13 children. Even as a boy on a mid-western farm, William was interested in feet and shoes. As a teen he learned to make shoes, and then was apprenticed to a cobbler.

• When he moved to Chicago to set up his own shop, he noticed how many people had trouble with corns, bunions, and fallen arches, and he was appalled. So he worked as a shoe salesman by day and put himself through medical school by night, becoming a podiatrist in 1904 at the age of 22.

• That same year he patented an arch support which he peddled to other shoe salesmen, and its popularity gave him the capital he needed to invent more products for the feet, including remedies for corns, bunions, warts, calluses, foot odor, ingrown toenails, athlete’s foot, and many other foot-related ailments.

• He established a correspondence course to teach basic podiatry to shoe store clerks and sent a team of trained sales representatives around the country to deliver public lectures on proper foot care.

• In 1916 William Scholl sponsored the national Cinderella Foot Contest to find the most beautiful feet in the U.S. Ladies flocked to shoe stores by the thousands to have their feet measured and scrutinized, and pictures of the prize-winning feet were published in magazines and newspapers nationwide. Then the ladies flocked to drugstores by the thousands to buy Scholl’s products in order to make their feet look more beautiful.

• By the time he died in Chicago in 1968, William Scholl’s line of foot care products eventually expanded to include over a thousand different items. He left the company to his nephews, and it still flourishes today. www.facebook.com/bismarcktidbits

by Samantha Weaver • It was Nora Joyce, wife to the Irish novelist James Joyce, who wrote the notoriously difficult -- and influential -- stream-ofconsciousness novel “Ulysses,” who asked her husband, “Why don’t you write books people can read?”

• You might be surprised to learn that contemporary model and actress Brooke Shields is descended from that notorious figure of the Italian Renaissance, Lucretia Borgia, who was suspected of such crimes as adultery, incest and murder.

• In this era of helicopter parenting, some are shocked to learn that in the 1960s, nearly half of all children in America walked to and from school by themselves.

• What do “Where’s Waldo,” “Where the Sidewalk Ends,” “My Friend Flicka,” “Brown Bear, Brown Bear, What Do You See?” and “Harriet the Spy” have in common? Aside from being books meant for a young audience, all of these titles have been banned at one time or another.

• There are about the same number of chickens as there are humans on the planet.

• If you’re like 83 percent of pet owners who responded to a recent survey, you feel that you receive more unconditional love from your pet than from your kids, your best friend or even your romantic partner.

• I’m sure you’ve heard the term “Podunk” used to describe a small, unimportant town, but you might not know where the word came from. It seems that a Native American tribe in Connecticut was known as the Podunk, and a nearby river was called by the same name.

Local small towns on the river were referred to as “Podunk,” too, and so the word entered the lexicon. *** • Thought for the Day: “I have lived in this world just long enough to look carefully the second time into things that I am most certain of the first time.” -- Josh Billings (c) 2015 King Features Synd., Inc.

• On July 10, 1887, an 80-foot-high concrete dam breaks in Zug, Switzerland, releasing a wall of water that kills 70 people. Rescue boats were ineffective, as they capsized in the roiling waters.

• On July 7, 1930, construction of the Hoover Dam begins. Over the next five years, 21,000 men would work to produce what would be the largest dam of its time, as well as one of the world’s largest manmade structures.

• On July 6, 1946, FBI agents arrest George “Bugs” Moran in Kentucky. Once one of the top organized crime figures in America, Moran had been reduced to small bank robberies. His criminal career took an abrupt downturn after the infamous St. Valentine’s Day Massacre in 1929.

• On July 8, 1951, Paris celebrates its 2,000th birthday. The history of Paris can be traced back to a Gallic tribe known as the Parisii, who settled an island (known today as Ile de la Cite) in the Seine River, which runs through present-day Paris.

• On July 9, 1960, President Dwight Eisenhower and Soviet Premier Nikita Khrushchev trade verbal threats over the future of Cuba. Khrushchev fired the first shot when he warned that the Soviet Union was prepared to use its missiles to protect Cuba from U.S. intervention.

• On July 11, 1978, a truck carrying 1,500 cubic feet of pressurized liquid gas crashes into a campsite crowded with vacationers in Spain.

The resulting explosion killed more than 200 people.

• On July 12, 1995, a heat advisory is issued in Chicago warning of a record-breaking heat wave. When the heat breaks a week later, nearly 1,000 people are dead in Illinois and Wisconsin. The temperature in the city hit 106 degrees F. (c) 2015 King Features Synd., Inc.

QUIZ: ADOLPH DASSLER • Born in Germany in 1900, Adolf Dassler, who went by the nickname of Adi, loved tap dancing.

He began creating his own tap shoes and got a lot of advice from his father, who worked in a shoe factory, manufacturing cleats for athletes. After he returned from service during World War I, he set up a cobbler’s shop in his mother’s laundry.

Adi decided to go into the dance shoe business, and his brother joined him in the venture, which they called the Dassler Brothers Shoe Company.

• At the World Tap Dancing Competition in 1928, Adi outfitted a number of the top competitors, and sales of his shoes climbed.

During World War II, Adi was drafted into producing boots for soldiers.

• After the war, Adi and his brother split up and his brother started a sports shoe company called Puma. Adi renamed his own company, combining several letters from both his first and last names. He designed his company’s three-striped logo. He branched out and soon was making 30 different types of shoes for 11 different sports.

• Much of his success was due to his close contact with the athletes who wore his shoes, and his persistent presence at sporting events.

Sales skyrocketed after Germany won the World Soccer Cup in 1954 with every member of the team wearing his shoes. He got many famous athletes to use his footwear including Jesse Owens and Muhammad Ali. • Aggressive marketing was a cornerstone of his business, and he expanded into many different sporting goods. When Adi died in 1978, his son took over the business. Today the shoe company Adi founded is the second largest sportswear manufacturer in the world. Can you name it? (Answer on page 7.)

HOT DOGS • Because July is National Hot Dog Month, take a bite out of these hot dog facts!

• To celebrate National Hot Dog Month, the American Meat Institute sponsors the annual Hot Dog Lunch on Capitol Hill in Washington, D.C. Over 1,000 lawmakers, officials, and congressional staff help themselves to 4,000 hot dogs (enough to circle the Capitol dome four times) along with potato chips and Cracker Jacks while hob-nobbing with various baseball personalities. In 2001, People for Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) sponsored a vegetarian event on the same day as the Hot Dog Lunch. Playboy bunnies clad in lettucelike bikinis served up vegetarian “not-dogs” to interested staffers. The event, billed as “Lettuce Entertain You,” offered cholesterol-free fat-free veggie dogs to about 500 people.

Fast Facts About Franks • Every year, Americans down an estimated seven billion hot dogs. Laid end-to-end, that’s enough hot dogs to circle the equator 27 times.

Two billion of them are eaten during July.

• Just over 26 million hot dogs are eaten every year in major league baseball stadiums, making franks the most popular item with baseball fans.

Dodger Stadium in L.A. ranks as Top Dog, selling an estimated 1.5 million Dodger Dogs each season. Cleveland’s Progressive Field comes in second with 1.1 million dogs annually.

Some 15% of hot dogs eaten are purchased from street vendors and 9% are eaten at ball parks.

• People in New Orleans eat more hot dogs per capita than any other city, followed by L.A., San Antonio, Dallas/Fort Worth, Houston, New York City, and Chicago.

701-391-2076 EDITOR’S NOTE: DVDs reviewed in this column will be available in stores the week of July 6, 2015.

PICKS OF THE WEEK Woman in Gold (PG-13) -- Helen Mirren stars as Maria Altman in this real-life story about an Austrian-born woman mounting a legal battle to reclaim an iconic painting that was seized when the Nazis took Vienna, and was claimed by the Austrian government after the war. Fighting at her side is young lawyer Randal Schoenal (Ryan Reynolds, doing something a little different), who develops his own personal attachment to the case.

It all depends on how engaged you can be with Altman’s struggle to recover the painting, “Portrait of Adele Bloch-Bauer I” by Gustav Klimt (you’ve probably seen a poster of it if you’ve ever been near a college dorm). To raise the stakes, the movie endeavors to make you feel for Altman not as somebody fighting for an ineffably valuable painting, but somebody trying to reclaim part of her lost family.

5 Flights Up (PG-13) -- A couple of retired lovebirds have nested in the same Brooklyn apartment since they bought it in the 1970s. Alex (Morgan Freeman) is a stubborn-but-loveable painter, and Ruth (Diane Keaton) is a neuroticbut-loveable ex-teacher. The neighborhood has changed a lot, and property values have pierced the sky, so the endearing couple puts their place on the market and start shopping for a new home. An alleged terrorist threat snarls traffic in the city, and there’s an even less-relevant story about a sick dog.

The movie only functions on the charm of Keaton and Freeman, while the plot -- especially those little subplots -- are like roads to nowhere. It’s a common pitfall for book-to-movie adaptations.

Still, it’s a sweet and smart look at the far end of long-term love.

71 (R) -- A young British private, Gary Hook (Jack O’Connell) is left stranded and struggling to survive in hostile Northern Ireland in 1971 during the full swing of the bloody, decades-long conflict known as the Troubles. Based on real accounts of what happened one night in Belfast, Hook is left wounded after a riot separates him from his unit. In one long night, Hook faces threats from all sides, doesn’t know where to

go or whom to trust. The film works both as an examination of modern conflict where lines are blurry, and as expertly crafted action.

The Slow West (R) -- Here’s a killer Western with a brain, great acting and a Gatling-gun soundtrack. A baby-faced, upper-crust Scottish 16-year-old named Jay Cavendish (Kodi SmitMcPhee) should last about as long as a snowball in this version of the Old West, if it weren’t for his wry, gunslinging travel-buddy, Silas (Michael Fassbender, impeccable as always).

Jay’s on a mission to find his lost love and experience the West, while all manner of scum and savagery close in. With this first feature film, writer-director John Maclean makes his entrance like a desperado tearing through the saloon doors.
