LICENSED
by Janet Spencer On April 29, 1813, Jacob Hummel of Philadelphia was awarded a patent for an elastic rubber varnish suitable for waterproofing clothing, in one of the world’s first applications of rubber. Come along with Tidbits as we consider rubber! A NEW SUBSTANCE • Rubber comes from the sap of the Para rubber tree. The sap is called latex (from the French word for milk), and it is refined to form rubber. • In 1755 a paper was presented to the French Academy of Sciences describing the properties of latex. In 1770, Joseph Priestley found that it was extremely good for rubbing off pencil marks on paper, dubbing the substance with the name “rubber.â€? • Brazil was the main source of rubber throughout the 1800s. Exporting seeds or seedlings was forbidden. In 1876, Henry Wickham smuggled 70,000 Para rubber tree seeds out of Brazil, delivering them to Kew Gardens, England. Only 2,400 of these survived, after which the seedlings were then sent to India, Ceylon (Sri Lanka), Indonesia, Singapore, and Malaysia. Malaysia later became the biggest producer of rubber.

Teeth Grinding Common in Elderly --DEAR DR. ROACH: My mother-in-law is 95 and lives in a nursing home. Sometimes when we visit, I can barely stand to be in her presence because she savagely grinds her teeth, making an awful grating, creaking noise. Could there be some medical reason for this? -- L.D. ANSWER: Many conditions common in the elderly are associated with teeth grinding. (We have medical terms for pretty much everything -- teeth grinding is called bruxism.) Alzheimer’s disease, Lewy body dementia (a type of memory loss often associated with visual hallucinations and movement disorders), stroke, Parkinson’s disease and many medications can cause this problem. Treatment is difficult. A mouth guard to protect the teeth can be very useful, but some people won’t keep them in. Her geriatrician is the right person to discuss this with. Some medications (especially some classes of antidepressants) can cause or worsen daytime bruxism, so stopping those may help. Drug treatment of daytime bruxism is not very helpful. Botulinum toxin (Botox) has been effective in some instances. *** DEAR DR. ROACH: Don’t forget that although there are many medical causes of restless leg syndrome, varicose veins also can be a source of symptoms, and we have cured many people of symptoms with minimally invasive varicose vein treatments. We always recommend that if you have visible varicosities or strong family history of varicose veins, you should get an ultrasound to determine if you have venous insufficiency. The treatments have essentially no down time and can mean one less medication for many people. In addition, just because you can’t see visible varicosities does not mean you do not have venous insufficiency. We have patients with beautiful legs whose ultrasound reveals large veins under the surface. -- Melissa A. Sandman, M.D. ANSWER: Thank you for writing. Many people also have written about other causes and treatments for restless leg syndrome, so I wanted to talk a bit more about this important subject. In addition to the iron deficiency I mentioned and the varicose veins Dr. Sandman writes about, there are several other important causes, including kidney disease, usually when dialysis has started. Diabetics have a higher risk for RLS, which sometimes can be mistaken for diabetic neuropathy. Multiple sclerosis and Parkinson’s disease are both associated with RLS, and Parkinson’s is important because when medicines such as levodopa/carbidopa (Sinemet) wear off, it can mimic RLS symptoms. When dopa drugs are used long-term for RLS, symptoms can get worse, a condition called augmentation. Pregnant women are more likely to have RLS. Many drugs, especially antidepressants, can cause RLS. I had a reader tell me that hers was due to Benadryl she was taking for sleep. Magnesium deficiency is common in RLS, and several readers told me magnesium supplements stopped their symptoms. The booklet on restless leg syndrome and nighttime cramps offers more insights. Readers can obtain a copy by writing: Dr. Roach -- No. 306W, Box 536475, Orlando, FL 32853-6475.

FAST FACTS ABOUT RUBBER • Over 21 million tons of rubber are produced each year, and about 42% is natural rubber, with the rest of it being synthetic rubber made from petrochemicals and coal. Natural rubber offers best elasticity, while synthetic rubber tends to offer better resistance to environmental factors such as oils, temperature, chemicals and ultraviolet light. • Asia is the main source of natural rubber, accounting for about 94% of the world’s supply. The largest producing countries are Thailand, Indonesia, and Malaysia, which account for 72% of all rubber production. • It takes six years for a rubber tree to grow to a point at which it’s economical to harvest the sap, and each tree has a productive life of about 35 years. A single tree yields about 19 lbs. (8.6 kg) of rubber each year. • Although natural rubber originated in Brazil, it is not cultivated there due to leaf blight and other natural predators of the rubber tree, which do not exist in Asian countries. • The highest quality of latex rubber is used for such things as surgeons’ gloves, condoms, and balloons. Mid-range quality rubber is used in items such as belts, windshield wipers, hoses, tubing, insulators, valves, gaskets, shoes, and pencil erasers. • When electricity was invented, demand for rubber skyrocketed because it was such an effective insulator for wires. With the invention of automobiles, demand once Natural & Organic Groceries & Supplements again jumped because every car needed rubber tires that wore out 14 at a regular rate. About 70% of Store Hours: Sheridan Good Health Emporium Leather rubber produced today is used for Outfitters Mon. - Fri. 10 - 6 tires. • • Foam rubber is made by beating Sat. 10 - 4 air into the latex before pouring Werco Ave. 307 - 674 - 5715 it into a vulcanizing mold, which heats it under pressure. Rubber 933 Werco Ave. • Firestone sponges are made by adding a Complete Sheridan, WY Auto Care powder to the latex which forms gas during vulcanization.

FORDLANDIA • In 1926 Henry Ford set up the Ford Industrial Company of Brazil. He wanted to build a rubber plantation to provide rubber for his tires. Ford wanted not only to build the cars, but also to control all the resources it took to build the cars. In exchange for employing Brazilian workers, the government of Brazil gave him free use of 2.5 million acres of jungle tax-free for 50 years. • The community was dubbed Fordlandia. 4,000 workers cleared the land of the native hardwoods. Then they planted nearly half a million rubber trees on 7,000 acres. By 1936 the first rubber plants were ready to be tapped. Also by 1936, the hilly deforested slopes that had been cleared of their hardwood trees were so eroded that the soil ran down gullies and rainwater flooded the community. Then came the leaf blight which devastated the rubber plantation. • Ford abandoned Fordlandia and moved the project to a new site, ten times bigger than the old one. Called Belterra, the area was healthy and well drained. Ford ordered workers to clear the land and plant three million rubber trees. This time they planted a grafted hybrid designed to resist disease. The process of grafting and planting was extremely tedious. Workers grew dissatisfied and left in droves. By 1941, Ford had only 2,700 of the 11,000 workers he needed. And then the leaf blight returned. Plagued by high costs, labor shortages, and blight, Belterra also ended in failure. • In 1945 Henry Ford’s son sold the whole thing to the Brazilian government for a mere half a million dollars. Over $9 million had been pumped into the project over 19 years, and Ford had failed to produce enough rubber to make a pencil eraser. AN OVERSHOE • In the Middle Ages, the Roman name for the area that is now France was Gaul. When they invaded, they found the Gauls wearing unusual shoes. They wore the normal sandal, but tied over the top of the sandal was an upper leather casing which covered the top of the foot, the ankle, and sandal. This was to protect the feet and the sandal during wet and cold weather. The Romans called this new style ‘Gaulish shoes’ or, in Latin, ‘gallicae.’ • The fashion quickly spread, since it made sense to wear an overshoe to protect the inner shoe during bad weather. • Centuries later, legend has it that an English man named Radley improved upon the idea. He suffered from rheumatism and wanted to keep his feet dry in the rainy weather, so he invented cloth overshoes that were reinforced with rubber to keep the feet dry. • Then in 1823, Scottish chemist Charles Macintosh discovered that liquid latex rubber would dissolve in coal-tar naphtha. When he spread this solution over a marble slab and allowed the naphtha to evaporate, he was left with a thin film of rubber, which could then be glued and sewn to fabric for waterproofing. Thereafter, in England a raincoat came to be known as a mackintosh. Charles Macintosh set up a factory to mass-produce this waterproof fabric. • The process worked for waterproof boots as well, but latex rubber turned out to be brittle when cold and sticky when hot. Not until Charles Goodyear invented vulcanized rubber (by heating rubber under pressure) did the art of the waterproof rain boot get a boost. An inventor named Alvin Longo Rickman received a patent for a rubberized overshoe in 1898. What are these waterproof overshoes called today? Answer: The rubber overshoes are galoshes.

For Advertising Call (307) 655-5095 QUIZ: TIRES • Ben’s mother gave her son the first name of Benjamin and the middle name of Franklin. After the Civil War, he bought out a New York rubber company. Numerous other rubber companies in the area provided such stiff competition that the business floundered. • The citizens of Akron, Ohio, convinced him to set up a new factory in their town. In Akron, he was the only rubber company west of the Allegheny Mountains, and the market was wide open. He established a licensing agreement with Charles Goodyear, and named his new business after himself. • Benjamin had once seen a friend’s home burn to the ground in the middle of winter because the leather fire hoses used by firemen were frozen, cracked, and useless. The first product he began manufacturing was rubber fire hoses that wouldn’t crack. Then he added garden hoses. When Benjamin died in 1888 at the age of 46, his son took over. • Pneumatic tires (containing air instead of being solid rubber) had recently been invented, and they began to manufacture tires for bikes, cars, and planes. Benjamin’s company, named after him, became the largest rubber manufacturer in the world, most well-known for its automobile tires. What’s it called? Answer: The company is B.F. Goodrich QUIZ: DETACHABLE TIRES • In France in 1886, a family’s rubber manufacturing firm was failing, but the founder’s nephews, Edouard and Andre, were determined to save it. One day a bicyclist came in whose bike sported two recently invented pneumatic tires, which contain air instead of being solid rubber. Pneumatic tires gave a smooth ride, but they punctured. This bike had a flat, and the biker asked the brothers to fix it. (continued on last page).

Show These Terriers Who’s the Boss --DEAR PAW’S CORNER: We have two Cairn terriers: Pepper is 13 years old; Daisy Mae is 3. She has a tendency to attack Pepper whenever Pepper growls at her. This morning it happened six times, and I usually get the worst of it when I try to intervene. We’ve had to muzzle Daisy Mae around Pepper. Is there anything we can do? -- Patsy in Brookings, Ore. DEAR PATSY: What you have to do is be the boss. Younger Daisy Mae is jealous of Pepper, who probably gets more attention. Pepper growls to let Daisy Mae know who’s boss; Daisy Mae gets aggressive. Fairness and sharing aren’t concepts you can teach these dogs. Pepper is the older dog. Daisy Mae is the younger, and she does not have a say. Be strict with both dogs. Don’t yell at them or cajole them -- aggressive behavior means separation into different rooms. There are no treats or rewards for refusing to obey your commands. You have to be the lawgiver in the household; they must know to behave when you’re in the room. If Daisy Mae acts up, she gets time out in a separate room. If she refuses to obey your commands around Pepper, she goes to a separate room. If she’s aggressive, the muzzle goes on. Don’t stand between them. At the first hint of aggression from either, remove Daisy Mae from the room. This is going to be a tough haul. Daisy Mae has been exhibiting this behavior for years now. I recommend consulting a professional trainer. Send your questions or tips to ask@pawscorner.com (c) 2015 King Features Synd., Inc.
BINNEY & SMITH • The chemical company run by Edwin Binney and Harold Smith in the 1880s manufactured pigments used in paints. They made a very deep black by using carbon, and there was a high demand for this pigment for use in shoe polish, ink, and even tires. • With the profit, they began to expand, producing chalk, pencils, and other school supplies and art products. Now there were many new items in their warehouse that needed to be tracked and inventoried. • At the time, the ink marker used to label boxes and crates was very messy, so Binney and Smith designed a new box marker using carbon black mixed with paraffin wax, wrapped in paper to make it easy to handle. • As their salesmen visited schools across the country hawking the company’s products, they began to report back that often the only art supplies the children had to work with were expensive French markers that many children could not afford. Binney and Smith decided to take the idea for their box marker and adapt it for school use. • They added talc to the formula and mixed in different pigments. First they sold it in boxes of eight colors, then 16, and now 120. Binney’s wife came up with the name for the product from the French word “craie” meaning chalk, and “oleaginous” meaning oily, referring to the paraffin wax: Crayola Crayons. • Today the average child will use up an average of 730 Crayola Crayons by the time they turn ten. • If the power ever goes out, remember that you can use crayons as a candle. Noteworthy Inventions PLAY-DOH • Until about 1950, coal was the primary fuel used for heating homes, and coal produced soot. Housewives had a simple way of removing soot from wallpaper. They’d mix a lump of flour, water, salt, and borax, and then roll the lump up and down the wall. • In 1933 the Kutol Company began marketing pre-mixed wallpaper cleaner in a sealed can. Business was good until 1950 when coal furnaces began to go out of style. Later, vinyl wallpaper was introduced, which could be washed with soap and water. Kutol was on the brink of ruin. The company owner Noah McVicokor was desperate for help. • Just then, the Noah’s sister-in-law, who ran a nursery school, read a magazine article that described how to make Christmas tree ornaments out of wallpaper cleaner. She took a can to class with her, rolled it out with a rolling pin, and the children cut out shapes using cookie cutters. She dried them in her oven, put little holes in the top, and hung them on the Christmas tree, all according to the magazine’s instructions. Then she called her brother-in-law. • Because of this, Kutol subsequently adjusted their recipe, changed the name, and Play-Doh was born. They put the product on the market as a toy. It came in the three primary colors of red, yellow, and blue. Kept in a sealed container, it stayed soft, but when dried overnight, it became hard enough to be sanded and painted. • Wallpaper cleaner sold for 34 cents, but the new toy clay sold for $1.50. Kutol had just over $100,000 in sales in 1954, and over $3 million four years later. More than 2 billion cans have been sold since then.

DETATCHABLE TIRES (cont’d) • Edouard and Andre discovered that the bicycle tire was glued to the rim. It took hours to remove, but they eventually repaired it, replaced it, took it for a test drive– and it went flat again. There had to be a better way. • They subsequently invented detachable tires that could be easily removed from the rim. Then they outfitted bicycle racer Charles Terront with their tires, and showed him how to repair a flat. During a race in 1891, Terront’s tire was punctured, but he repaired the flat in a few minutes and went on to win the race. The resulting publicity boosted the family rubber firm immensely. • Next the brothers decided to work the same miracle for automobile tires. At that time, car tires were wooden wheels with a metal rim. The car industry embraced the new detachable tires and their company became one of the largest tire manufacturers in the world. Their company logo of a pile of tires shaped like a rotund man, trademarked in 1898, is one of the oldest and most recognizable logos in the nation. The company is named after the French family’s last name. What is it? (Answer at bottom of page) AN UNFORTUNATE MISHAP When David Pearson was racing in the Rebel 500, he pulled off for a pit stop. His crew rushed to change all four tires. Pearson was under the mistaken impression that the crew was replacing the right tires only. They loosened the left tires as they were tightening the right tires. When Pearson started to pull out, a crew member yelled, “Whoa!” but Pearson thought he said, “GO!” Fifty yards later, both left wheels left the car and went bouncing down the track. Answer: Michelin, who now incidentally produces B. F. Goodrich tires.
