by Kathy Wolfe The average woman spends about $150 a year on beauty products. This week, Tidbits chases down the facts on several large cosmetics firms. • Maksymilian Faktorowicz spent his first 32 years in Russia as a cosmetician and wigmaker. In 1904, Faktorowicz and his family immigrated to the United States and were processed at the Ellis Island immigration station, where officials gave him the Americanized name Max Factor. His first stop was the 1904 St. Louis World’s Fair, where he set up shop selling his rouges and creams. Desiring to work in the movie industry, the family moved to Los Angeles, where Max created a make-up called Flexible Greasepaint for movie actors that would not crack or cake. Soon he was working with Hollywood’s film stars, including Ava Gardner, Jean Harlow, and Marlene Dietrich. In 1916, he started selling his eye shadow and eyebrow pencils to the general public. In 1920, he unveiled a wide range or items dubbed Society Makeup, asserting that every woman could “look like a movie star” with his products. Max Factor himself coined the term “make-up.” He invented lip pomade (later called lip gloss) to produce a glossy look for actresses on film. His company was the first to create mascara applied with a wand in a tube, rather than the old cake and brush method. turn the page for more!

COSMETICS COMPANIES (continued): • Florence Nightingale Graham’s company is one of the oldest names in the beauty industry. Born in Canada in 1884, Florence was part of a large farming family that always struggled financially. While studying nursing, she became interested in lotions that treated burns. After a move to New York in 1908, she took a job as a beautician’s assistant, and two years later started her own salon with a partner on Fifth Avenue. The salon was named Elizabeth Arden, and Florence began using that as her own name. By 1914, Elizabeth had dissolved the partnership, and had hired a team of chemists to create the first items in her line of beauty products -- face cream and lotion. She added eye makeup shortly afterward, and was the first to produce travel-size products in 1917. In 1915, Elizabeth Arden products were being sold internationally, and she opened a salon in Paris in 1922. The salons added makeovers and high-end spas to their list of amenities. In the midst of the Great Depression, Arden was bringing in upwards of $4 million a year. When Elizabeth Arden died in 1966, she had 100 salons around the world and a line of more than 300 cosmetic products. The company was sold to the Eli Lilly Corporation in 1971 for $38 million, and today’s estimated value is more than $1.3 billion. • Oil of Olay got its start in South Africa, created by chemist Graham Wulff in 1952. The name was a spin on the word “lanolin,” one of Olay’s key ingredients. It started out as a thick pink liquid rather than a cream and was dubbed “beauty fluid,” packaged in a heavy glass bottle. Now owned by Procter & Gamble, it’s estimated that an Olay product is sold every two minutes.

Good luck!

Bookmark It!

Kids love to read about things that capture their interests: baseball, rainforests, dinosaurs. There are all kinds of online links to these subjects, plus multiple stacks of books for all reading levels available free to check out from your kids’ school and local library. Fiction and nonfiction. But relishing a triceratops doesn’t have to stop with the book itself. Designing big, elaborate bookmarks to keep track of your kids’ reading progress and enhance hot topics can bring creative hours of fun and become real page-turners. For an inspiring “after library” activity, here’s how to make some clever bookmarks to get kids rarin’ to plunge right in to book reading. These themed bookmarks are fun to handle, and a personalized way for your kids to keep track of their favorite books and subjects. 1. Cut strips of poster board about 4 inches by 12 inches. 2. Have your kids draw pictures that reflect the themes of the books they’ve chosen, and then cut them out. They also might want to flip through some magazines and cut out photos, or choose images from their sticker collection. 3. Arrange and affix the images and stickers on one side of the bookmarks. Add some decorative designs and borders with markers or watercolors. 4. Draw rows of lines on the backside for writing down the titles of the books they’re reading on that bookmark’s theme. Parenting tip: If your youngest says, “But I can’t read yet!” while an older sibling is making his bookmarks, say: “No problem. What’s your book about?” She may look at the book’s pictures and say, “Puppies!” Hand her some paper and crayons, and encourage her to draw some puppies -- any kind of puppies. And when you’re reading to her later that evening, stop at some point in the book and say: “Time to stop. Where’s that marker so we can finish this tomorrow night?” She’ll leap at a chance to use her creation. Extra gift idea: Bookmarks make lovely, literate gifts. Collect colorful small flowers or colorful leaves, press them, and when they’re dry, glue the petals on both sides of a poster board strip, and cover with clear adhesive-backed plastic. Don’t forget about adding back-to-school class pictures. Grandparents would love to keep track of their grandchildren and the page number of the book they are reading at the same time.

* On Nov. 19, 1824, a flood on the Neva River near St. Petersburg, Russia, claims an estimated 10,000 lives after an ice jam broke apart and the water overwhelmed the city’s dam. The surge was so powerful that several ships were thrown into the city’s marketplace. * On Nov. 15, 1956, the movie “Love Me Tender,” featuring Elvis Presley in his big-screen debut, premieres. Originally titled “The Reno Brothers,” the movie was renamed after a song that Presley sings during the film. * On Nov. 17, 1968, the Oakland Raiders score two touchdowns in nine seconds to beat the New York Jets -- and no one sees it. With just 65 seconds left to play, NBC switched off the game in favor of its previously scheduled programming, “Heidi,” a children’s movie about a young girl in the Alps. * On Nov. 14, 1970, a chartered jet carrying most of the Marshall University football team crashes in West Virginia. All 75 passengers were killed, including 37 football players, the coach, doctors, the athletic director and 25 team boosters. * On Nov. 13, 1982, the Vietnam Veterans Memorial is dedicated in Washington, D.C. The memorial is a simple V-shaped black-granite wall inscribed with the names of the 57,939 Americans who died in the conflict, arranged in order of death, not rank. * On Nov. 18, 1991, Muslim kidnappers in Lebanon free Terry Waite after more than four years of captivity. Waite, special envoy of the archbishop of Canterbury, had secured the release of detained missionaries before being captured himself. He spent most of the four years chained to a radiator.

COSMETICS COMPANIES (continued): • Founded in Maryland in 1961 by the Noxzema Chemical Company, Cover Girl’s first product line was called Clean Makeup. The brand, which at first offered just six products, was advertised as a “medicated face makeup,” because it contained camphor, menthol, and eucalyptus. In 1963, 16-year-old model Jennifer O’Neill was their first spokeswoman, appearing in the brand’s magazine and TV advertising. Famous early Cover Girl models include Cybill Shepherd, Cheryl Tiegs, and Christie Brinkley. Brinkley’s contract with Cover Girl is the longest ever of any model in history. Currently owned by Procter & Gamble, Cover Girl’s Clean Makeup line is still on shelves today and remains one of the world’s best-selling foundations after 56 years. • An accident in 1915 led to the formation of one of the world’s largest cosmetic companies. A kitchen stove fire in the Chicago home of the Williams family burned daughter Maybel’s eyelashes and eyebrows. She mixed a concoction of petroleum jelly, coal dust, and ash from a burnt cork and applied it to her lashes and brows. Her brother Tom watched the process with interest, and envisioned an idea that would change the world of women’s beauty. Within two years, he had a new company, Maybelline, a name created from combining his sister’s name with the Vaseline she used to create her eyelash color. Maybell Laboratories released their first product that year, Maybelline Cake Mascara. The company introduced Ultra Lash in the 1960s, and in 1971, their famous Great Lash mascara was launched. The Williams family sold the company in 1967, and in 1996, it was acquired by L’Oreal. A package of Great Lash mascara is sold every 1.7 seconds somewhere in the world.

* It was 20th-century American journalist, editor and writing teacher Brenda Ueland who made the following sage observation: “Inspiration does not come like a bolt, nor is it kinetic, energetic striving, but it comes into us slowly and quietly and all the time, though we must regularly and every day give it a little chance to start flowing, prime it with a little solitude and idleness.” * If you heard the word “pantophobia,” you might (logically) assume that it means a fear of pants. You’d be only partially correct, however; those who suffer from pantophobia are, presumably, afraid of pants -- but that’s just because they’re afraid of everything. * You might be surprised to learn that the first Model T Fords weren’t black -- they were green with red stripes. * If you’re thinking of starting a business and want to get up and running right away, there’s a company ready to help you get started. Novanym, a branding firm based in Farnborough, England, can provide you with a unique name and its matching .com domain -- even your choice of three logos for your fledgling venture. For less than $700 you can brand your company as Aquinique, Spiranti or Fenmarch. Have a more generous budget? Try Mupkin, Cubexis or Zeqon, all in the $5,000 range. If you really want to go allout -- and are in the right industry -- try Motaway for $25,727, or even InvestmentEtc, which is going for nearly $40,000. * You might be surprised to learn that if you add up all the deaths that are caused worldwide by tuberculosis, malaria and AIDS, the total would be less than a third of those attributable to pollution, which accounts for 16 percent of all global deaths.

* “I have a great idea for cleaning skylights. Attach an old T-shirt to the broom end of a longhandled broom, then just mist with a cleaner. You can hold it up and scrub gently. The T-shirt material makes a great scrubber.” -- C.L. in Alabama * “In my house, cleaning up is a big issue. I have a large basket in the garage that is designated Toy Time Out. I ask the kids to pick something up and give them a time limit. If I have to ask again, the item goes into time out for a day. I typically get a good response to my requests.” -- Mom in Maryland * Thanksgiving Tip: “If you have one person responsible for putting prep dishes and pots and pans in the dishwasher while you are preparing

the bird and side dishes for the table, you will be halfway done with dishes by the time the meal is over.” -- M.A. in Washington * “I buy extra supplies for Thanksgiving dinner as items go on sale. We always make extra-large portions of our side dishes, and put in an extra turkey while we’re eating! Freeze meals in individual containers for quick dinners throughout the busy weeks from Turkey Day to Christmas Day. Potatoes and vegetable casseroles freeze well, and they taste better than microwave dinners from the grocery store.” -- E.S. in Oregon * For a tailgating favorite, make this: Prepare a batch of macaroni and cheese, then add an egg and stir in. Butter the wells of a muffin tin, and fill with the mac and cheese. Top with a bit of shredded cheddar and bake for 20 minutes at 400 F. You can even make them super portable by using muffin liners. The gang loves these -- no fork necessary!

To Your Good Health By Keith Roach, M.D.

Whites of Eyes Are Turning Gray DEAR DR. ROACH: What’s the best way to obtain and maintain healthy, white sclera? Mine appears to be a light, off-white gray. -- M.T. ANSWER: Sclerae -- the whites of the eyes -tend to thin with age and reveal the darker-gray choroid underneath. This is benign and common, but I don’t know of any way to prevent or reduce it. Scleral color changes can happen with rare diseases like osteogenesis imperfecta, and some collagen diseases. The sclera also can change color as a result of scleritis (inflammation of the sclera), and this often happens in relation to Wegener’s disease or rheumatoid arthritis. The bottom line, though, is: If you are having no symptoms, it’s overwhelmingly likely that these changes are the benign form. *** DEAR DR. ROACH: I have been diagnosed with positional vertigo. My doctor has me doing Cawthorne head exercises. Have you heard of these? Do they work? -- M.M.S. ANSWER: Vertigo is an abnormal sense of motion while still. Many people describe it as a “spinning” sensation, but others feel it differently. The most common cause probably is benign paroxysmal positional vertigo, and rehabilitation exercises, such as the Cawthorne-Cooksey exercises, are very effective. Although medication is frequently prescribed, I recommend strongly against longterm use of medication, which can slow down or

COSMETICS COMPANIES (continued): • In 1886, David McConnell was a traveling book salesman, although not very successful at it. In an attempt to sell more books, he offered his female customers free perfume samples as a “door opener,” and soon discovered that the women were more interested in the perfume than they were in the books. McConnell ditched the book business and started up a perfume company in Manhattan, calling it the California Perfume Company, mixing the first fragrances himself in his tiny office. Having recognized women’s love of the products, McConnell recruited his customers as sales representatives. Mrs. P.F.E. Albee developed the company’s direct-marketing system, selling perfumes door-to-door, the world’s first Avon lady – although the company wouldn’t be called Avon for 45 more years. The first product was the Little Dot Perfume set, but by the end of the first year, nearly 20 different perfumes were offered, and by 1902, a full range of cosmetics had been added. Their first catalog was distributed in 1896, an index of products with no illustrations. The first full-color catalog came along in 1905. In 1897, McConnell built his first factory in Suffem, New York, next to the railroad tracks for easy shipping. By 1899, there were 5,000 sales representatives for his company. Sales for 1920 reached $1 million. • The California Perfume Company was renamed Avon in the 1930s in honor of William Shakespeare’s hometown of Stratford-onAvon. The first of their TV commercials with the famous line “Ding Dong! Avon calling” aired in 1954. • David McConnell’s free perfume samples blossomed into a company that now has 6.4 million representatives. Brazil, the company’s largest market has more than 900,000 Avon ladies, more than the number of its army and navy.

stop healing. Although you can do the exercises on your own, I recommend learning how to do them properly and safely with an occupational or physical therapist. READERS: The booklet on vertigo explains this disruptive condition in detail and outlines its treatment. Order a copy by writing: Dr. Roach -- No. 801W, 628 Virginia Drive, Orlando, FL 32803. Enclose a check or money order (no cash) for $4.75 U.S./$6 Canada with the recipient’s printed name and address. Please allow four weeks for delivery. *** DEAR DR. ROACH: How long do shin splints last? Is there anything besides ice that will make them go away faster? My left shin started hurting a little more than three weeks ago. I ran on it once or twice, then I stopped, but it still hurts. Is this normal? When do you think I can run on it? I did a longer run on a flat path, and normally I do it with hills, so I thought maybe that was the problem, but three weeks seems like too long. -- H.O. ANSWER: Pain in the shin bone (tibia) is common in runners, but the hard part is distinguishing between “shin splints,” properly called “medial tibial stress syndrome,” and a stress fracture of the tibia. A stress fracture usually has a discrete area of tenderness, but MTSS has more diffuse tenderness. An X-ray may be needed to be sure it isn’t a stress fracture, since the treatment is very different. A runner with a stress fracture needs to avoid impact activities like running, whereas MTSS usually gets better with just lower running mileage. In your case, the degree of pain is higher than I would expect after three weeks. I’d recommend an X-ray. ***

The couple and their nine children lived above the store. Although she worked at the hardware store and a department store, Esther, or Estee, as she was called by her family, was more interested in the business run by her uncle, a chemist, specializing in skin products that he sold to pharmacists. Estee began making her own creams and as a teenager began selling her creations to local hair salons. She promoted them as “jars of hope,” handing out free samples as incentives. At age 22, she married Joseph Lauter, a name that was later changed to Lauder. Since Estee Lauder had no desire to open her own stores, her products were sold and demonstrated door-to-door for many years. There were only four products at that time, being made in a former restaurant’s kitchen. In 1948, she obtained counter space at Saks Fifth Avenue, who ordered $800 worth of products, which were sold in two days. This opened the door to other upscale department stores, such as Neiman Marcus. In 1960, the company expanded to London’s Harrods store. In 1968, Estee Lauder branched out, opening Clinique Laboratories, offering the first dermatologist-guided, allergy-tested, fragrancefree cosmetic line. Estee Lauder passed away in 2004 at the age of 95. In 2016, her companies had net sales of $11.26 billion. • In 1932, in the midst of the Great Depression, two brothers Charles and Joseph Revson teamed up with chemist Charles Lachman to create colored nail enamel as we know it. They marketed the polish under the name of Revlon, changing to “V” to an “L” for Lachman. They labeled the enamels with clever names like Cherries in the Snow, Fatal Apple, and Kissing Pink.

Senses Fade as We Age Ninety-four percent of us will lose one or more our senses as we get older. A company called Sodexo, a leader in quality of life services, did a study with the University of Ottawa to help those who work with seniors understand how we perceive the world as those senses wane, especially in the longterm care field. The study results offered conclusions and help on topics such as: Hearing -- Most seniors over the age of 85 have hearing loss. Tips: Minimize sounds of heating and air conditioning systems, and provide a background of nature sounds and music. Smell -- The sense of smell starts to decrease at age 60. Tips: Utilize open kitchens so seniors can smell food being prepared. Provide fresh-air ventilation. Vision -- Weakened eye muscles, diminished vision. Tips: Use high-contrast colors helps seniors navigate corridors and see all the food on their plate. Avoid clutter. Install minimum-glare flooring. Touch -- Each year we seniors lose 1 percent of our ability to perceive vibrations or pressure. Tips: Animal therapy can provide opportunities to touch. Beware injuries to feet, since they often can go unnoticed. Taste -- Our ability to taste starts to decline at age 40 in women and age 50 in men. Tips: Medications can alter the taste of foods; look for alternative medications. Provide foods with texture, and use a variety of spices and herbs. In addition to the sensory loses, seniors can experience loneliness, which can result in aggression and stress. Help by providing a regular schedule of activities and social interaction. For study results, as well as tools Sodexo created to help us find quality long-term care, go online to sodexo.com and search for “How and Why the Five Senses Matter for Quality of Life.”

Rambunctious Puppy Is Out of Control DEAR PAW’S CORNER: I recently adopted a whippy little mutt who has a ton of energy. “Curtis” will zoom around the house at light speed, sometimes running into furniture and knocking things over. He will not listen to me at all. How can I get him to obey and to calm down? -- Exhausted “Puppy Mom” in Denver DEAR PUPPY MOM: It sounds like Curtis needs more exercise time, preferably outdoors with plenty of space to zoom around. If you have a backyard with a fence, that’s a great place to let him run -supervised, of course. If you don’t have a yard, scout out a fenced-in area where you can take him regularly -- but not a dog park, not yet. Curtis first needs to learn to come when you call. He needs to learn how to sit and stay. These three basic commands are the foundation of a dog’s training.

Once you’ve let him run in an open space for several minutes and he’s spent that initial burst of energy, call Curtis to you. Use a firm, confident voice. Don’t plead. Don’t get angry. Don’t change your tone of voice. He may not respond right away; just call again. When he does come, give him praise (and a little treat). Do this every day until he responds each time you call. In fact, he may eventually spend less time romping around and come to hang out with you, the nice lady with the treats. Once he obeys this first command, begin teaching him “sit” and “stay.” There are plenty of websites with instructions on all three commands -- some off leash, some on -- such as Nylabone’s training tips. Try out different methods, and go with what works best for Curtis and you.

MORE BEAUTY BRANDS (continued): • Revlon’s first advertisement was in 1935 in The New Yorker, an expense that set them back $335, with that one ad eating up their entire annual advertising budget. Their fifth year sales were more than 40 times that of the first year. Revlon ads for the first 10 years were hand-drawn in black and white, but beginning in 1945, fullcolor photo ads promoted their products. Until 1940, Revlon stuck with manicure products, but in 1940, they expanded to lipstick. During World War II, they manufactured first-aid kits and hand grenades for the war effort. • In 1907, 26-year-old French chemist Eugene Schueller created a hair dye formula from a blend of harmless compounds, calling it Oreal. Two years later, he established the French Harmless Hair Dye Company, an enterprise that would later become known as L’Oreal. Manufacturing his own products in his kitchen, he sold them to Parisian hairdressers. Schueller was so successful that by the following year he had not only hired sales reps to sell Oreal throughout France, he had set up a hair coloring school in Paris. Within three years, he had expanded his operation into Italy, Austria, and the Netherlands. More groundbreaking inventions followed, including hair-lightening products to create golden tints, bleaching powders for blonde hair, the first modern shampoo, and a skin-protection oil. Schueller also introduced the first monthly women’s health and beauty magazine. In 1939, his company officially became known as L’Oreal. • In 2006, L’Oreal opened The Hairdressing Academy in Paris, the world’s largest training center. • Schueller’s daughter Liliane, now in her 90s, is the wealthiest woman in the world, with an estimated net worth of around $44 billion.
