by Janet Spencer Arthur Wynne was the editor of the puzzle page in the magazine section of the Sunday edition of the New York World. In 1913, he was looking for something new, having grown tired of word squares, hidden words, and anagrams. Fooling around with a word square, he decided to alter it a bit. He called the result a word-cross. It was instantly popular, and became a regular feature. When it was left out one week, the paper was deluged with angry letters. For the next ten years, the World was the only paper that published crosswords. A rival paper, the New York Times, thought crosswords were merely a passing fad and predicted their swift demise. Come along with Tidbits as we do a crossword! • In 1924, two young men formed a partnership and started a publishing company. Problem was, they had nothing to publish. Then one of the men went to dinner at his aunt’s house. His aunt was looking for a Christmas present for her daughter. She mentioned that the girl was addicted to the crossword puzzles published in the New York World. She asked her nephew if he knew of any place where she could buy a book of crosswords as a gift. He called around the next day, and discovered that no one in the world published books of crossword puzzles. He suggested to his business partner that they become the first publishing company to do so. Cont'd next page!

• When the two publishers told their consultants they intended to publish crossword books, the consultants felt the idea would fail—it would be too monotonous, they said. They were counselled to publish the book under a pseudonym so that if the book failed, their real name would not be associated with the failure. So they published 3,600 copies of the book under the name of Plaza Publishing Co. • Advance sales were slow as booksellers felt the book would not sell. But on the day the book came out, the two publishers ran an ad next to the daily crossword in the paper. Book stores were swamped with requests—40,000 copies sold in the first few weeks. One distributor ordered 55,000 copies, then called back and ordered a quarter million more. Discarding their fake name of Plaza Publishing, the two men resumed using their original name: Simon and Schuster. • In 1970 a London newspaper held a crossword competition. They printed four crosswords of increasing difficulty in the paper. Over 20,000 people correctly completed the first; 1,000 managed the second; 302 completed the third; and only 42 got everything right on the fourth. All 302 people who made it through the third puzzle were invited to the two-day finals. During the semi-finals, they were given half an hour to finish each of eight crosswords. The 36 finalists were asked to complete four more. The winner was Roy Dean, a 43-year-old Foreign Office diplomat who recently returned from 10 years in Sri Lanka— where he had never even seen a crossword. • One shady outfit who ran a crossword lottery claimed that no one won the grand prize because they all missed 23 Across. The clue was: “To have to wait in ______ in the dentist’s office is infuriating.” Everybody filled in “Pain.” But the correct answer, they said, was “Vain.” Cont'd next page!

• In 1926 two men composed a crossword puzzle and placed it in several newspapers. They announced that anyone who correctly completed the puzzle and mailed it in with a $1 entry fee would be eligible to win the grand prize. Within the week, entries were arriving by the van load and they were taking their money to the bank in suitcases.

• Crossword competitions became so popular in India in the 1950s that parliament tried to make them illegal on the grounds that the fees to enter the crossword contests were leading people to financial ruin.

• In 1972 in the London Times, readers of the classifieds were amazed to find a strange page in the back of the section. All of the column headings were in place— cars for sale, houses for rent—but all the ads were missing. The only thing normal about the page was the usual crossword down at the bottom corner where it always was. Those who completed the crossword discovered amusing messages on the value of butter. The entire page was an attention-grabbing ad for butter. • A San Francisco paper once sold advertising space in the little black squares of the grid. • One innovative crossword publisher came out with a book that had a number of perforated pieces of tracing paper in it. Puzzlers were to tear out a piece of the tracing paper and put it over the top of the puzzle they wanted to solve, leaving the book clean and unmarked for the next person to use. • Robert Stilgenbauer of Los Angeles spent 11 years constructing a crossword with 3,185 down clues and 3,149 across. Over 125,000 copies were distributed, but none have been completed yet. • One variety of crossword had two possible answers for every clue. Cont’d next page!

STRANGE BUT TRUE

by Samantha Weaver * It was 20th-century English novelist E.M. Forster who made the following sage observation: “We must be willing to let go of the life we have planned, so as to have the life that is waiting for us.” * If you’re a pogonophobe, the rise of hipsterism in recent years is not good news -- anyone afraid of beards isn’t going to get far in public these days without confronting one. * John Sylvan is known as the creator of Keurig coffee pods, used in abundance throughout the world these days. Despite the success of his inventions, however, he refuses to use them himself; he says that he abhors the effect the non-recyclable, non-biodegradable pods have on the environment. * Of all the actors who have portrayed James Bond in films before 2015, Pierce Brosnan racked up by far the most kills per movie. (The tally for last October’s “Spectre” has not yet been counted.) (c) 2016 King Features Synd., Inc.

• One crossword composer wrote the clue “to make a go of.” The answer was “succeed.” But the paper made a typo when printing it, and it said, “to make a goof.” Calls and letters poured in. • The same composer was once called on by a cross crossworder who could not find the answer to the clue “manager of the Globe Theater.” He had called the Globe Theater and found it had two managers. Neither of their names fit. He was surprised to find the clue referred to William Shakespeare. • An 8-year-old boy caught another crossword error with the clue “had a wooden leg.” Captain Ahab was the only answer that fit, but Ahab had an ivory leg, not a wooden one. • Then there was the man with bad handwriting who wrote the clue “Catholic chief.” The answer was “Pope” but the typesetter thought it said “Dope.” They got plenty of letters on that one. • Another paper printed the clue “Confederate General.” The answer was U.S. Grant— and a lot of people were surprised to find that Grant was a Confederate! • One hard-up crossword writer printed the clue, “Six consonants and the letter ‘A’ five times.” “Panama Canal” was what he had in mind, but one indignant puzzler submitted a number of answers that also fit, including “Bahama Macaw”, “Sahara Sarah”, “Havana Madam”, and “Abracadabra.” • One magazine in 1958 accidentally printed the wrong diagram with the right set of clues. A few people actually managed to reconstruct the crossword from scratch. • One clever clue was “An important city in Czechoslovakia” to which the answer was Oslo. Yes, Oslo is in Norway, but look at the letters in the middle of the word “Czechoslovakia.” Pet's Playhouse 151 Jacolyn Dr. NW Cedar Rapids 396-0635

rock pigeon and trained to return home from long distances away. There is no real difference between a homing pigeon and a carrier pigeon aside from the amount of training it has received.

• Chinese officials began using homing pigeons to transmit messages as early as 500 B.C. In the 1200s, Kublai Khan set up a network of pigeons that linked the entire Chinese empire. The system survived for over 600 years. • Caliph Aziz of Cairo had a passion for cherries. In 980 A.D. he sent huge shipments of homing pigeons to the cherry orchards in Egypt. Slaves tied small bags containing one cherry each to the feet of the pigeons and sent them home to the Nile.

• Homing pigeons made a fortune for the French Post Office during a siege of the Franco-Prussian War in 1870. The Prussian army encircled Paris, cutting telegraph wires, destroying communication cables, and strangling the postal service. From the surrounding countryside, about 1,000 privately owned homing pigeons were donated and the “Pigeon Post” was born. To get the mail through, messages were set in type, photographed in microscopic size and printed on thin film. Each bird could carry up to 8,000 letters per day in this manner, and two birds were dispatched each day. At a cost of ten cents per word, postal revenues brought in about $112,000. By the time the seige was over, pigeons had carried nearly 100,000 messages from Paris to the outside world.

• In 1814, Nathan Rothschild learned of Napoleon’s defeat at Waterloo by carrier pigeon a full day before the general public new. As a result, he made a killing on the stock market. • During World War I, nearly 200 soldiers of New York’s 77th Infantry Division became isolated from other American forces. They were surrounded by enemy troops, and found themselves under fire from their own artillery. They had three homing pigeons and no other method of communication. On October 4, 1918, a message was attached to the leg of one pigeon and it was released, only to be shot down. The second pigeon was also killed. They had only one pigeon left—a carrier pigeon called Cher Ami, which is French for “dear friend.” The message tied to his leg read, “Our artillery is dropping a barrage on us. For heaven’s sake, stop it!” The bird was released, only to be shot through the leg. Miraculously, he kept flying— and was shot through the breast. But the bird kept going and arrived at his loft with the message barely attached to his mangled leg. Within hours help arrived and the 77th Infantry Division was saved. Cher Ami was awarded the French “Croix de Guerre.” He died in 1919 as a result of his wounds and his remains are on display at the Smithsonian. • In the 1980s Lockheed’s plant in California employed 15 carrier pigeons to carry microfilm capsules to the test base 30 miles away. The pigeons could make the trip in 40 minutes, faster than a courier in a car could. Also, they had an effectiveness rate of 100%. They never delivered to the wrong address, or showed up with damaged goods. • Homing pigeons and migratory birds can be deflected from their routes by radio transmitters. Homing pigeons cannot find their way if a magnet is tied to their necks. • The longest flight by a homing pigeon was 5,400 miles by a bird released from West Africa which travelled to its home in England in 1845. The trip took two months, and the bird fell dead only one mile from its loft.

Safety Never Felt So Good.

Well if you do, consider yourself lucky since many others never made it past 50. So consider this, you grew up without any phone that didn’t stay fixed to your kitchen wall. Now let’s not use your car like a phone booth so that you can remember your 90th birthday. Oops, the young ones don’t even know what a phone booth is. : Rick By Struve

Home Instead Senior Care Proudly Presents

Senior News Line By Matilda Charles

-- If you had been hoping to go to the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services website and take a look at its new hospital ratings, you’ll be disappointed. It doesn’t exist yet. The very day before the site was to launch, it was delayed. It seems that Congress, along with the hospital industry, pushed to stop the launch in its tracks. For the survey, hospitals are rated for more than 100 measures of care, but the information is often confusing. (Or perhaps they’re afraid the information will make them look bad.) For example, hospitals objected to a Medicare patient death rate being known to women trying to choose a hospital for having a baby. Another objection was that a hospital’s death rate might be because the patients are low income. Hospitals called 60 senators and more than 200 representatives and asked for the delay so the information can be reassembled. We have ratings on CMS for various patient surveys, and those are of value. The higher the number of stars, the lower the death and readmission rates. We have a star rating system for nursing homes -covering health inspections, staffing, quality measures and more. There’s one for Home Health Compare that includes a patient survey rating. The new rating system for overall hospital quality was meant to make the information about hospitals easier to understand, with over 60 of the measurements being condensed into the star system, with ratings from one to five stars. Initially the CMS told Congress that the website would be running by July. Now they’ve backtracked and say it might be after July if they’re still working on the data. If you want to view the other ratings, go online to cms.gov and put ratings in the search box. (c) 2016 King Features Synd., Inc.

Touring Ireland's countryside with a group of travel writers, we passed an immaculate cemetery with hundreds of beautiful headstones set in a field of emerald-green grass. Everyone reached for their cameras when the tour guide said the inventor of the crossword puzzle was buried there. He pointed out the location, "Three down and four across."

STORIES BEHIND PLANT NAMES • “Azalea” comes from the Latin “azaleos” meaning dry or parched. The plant was named in the belief that it grew only in dry soils. • “Rhodon” is Greek for rose, and “dendron” means tree: rhododendron. • Iris was the goddess of the rainbow who was in charge of receiving the souls of dying women. The god Juno was so impressed with her purity that he named a flower after her. • Lobelia was named in honor of botanist Matthias L’Obel. The wisteria vine was named after naturalist Dr. Casper Wistar. • Marigolds were named after the virgin Mary: Mary’s gold. • “Phlox” is the Greek word for fire, and phlox was named because it is fire red. Phlox is also the root of the word “phlegm,” because phlegm was thought to cause fiery fevers. • The Greeks thought that the leaves of the common garden flower alyssum could cure the madness caused by being bitten by a rabid animal. Since “lyssa” was the word for madness and “a-” is a negative prefix, the alyssum was born. • Columbine comes from the Latin word

“columba” meaning dove because the flowers resemble a circle of doves. • Larkspur was so named because the flower resembles the spur on the back of the feet of birds in the lark family. • “Primus” is Latin for first, and primrose is one of the first flowers to appear in the spring. • The Sanskrit word “parna” meaning a wing or feather became the German word “farn” which became the Anglo-Saxon word “fearn” and is now our fern. • Lichens come from the Greek verb “leichein” meaning to lick up, because they seem to lick their way across the ground. • “Mistel” is an old Anglo-Saxon word meaning dung, and “tan” meant twig. “Misteltan” or “the little dung twig” was so named because birds eat the berries off the twigs and the seeds are deposited in their dung. Today the word has turned into mistletoe. • “Wych” is the Anglo-Saxon word meaning “to bend” resulting in witch hazel: the bending hazel. • “Gar” is old English for spear, and “leac” is the original way of spelling leek. “Garleac” is now garlic, a leek shaped like a spear.

• The Chinese word “jen-shen” meant manplant, referring to the shape of the root. It resulted in the word ginseng. • Mentha was the mythical mistress of Pluto, who ruled Hades. Pluto’s wife was so jealous that she transformed Mentha into a lowly plant that would forever afterwards be trampled upon by humans. Pluto felt sorry for Mentha, and decreed that the more the plant was trampled, the sweeter it would smell. Today, Mentha is called mint. • Chamomile came from the Greek words “chamai” meaning “on the ground,” and “melon” meaning “apple.” • The Spanish word “zarza” means bramble, and “parilla” means a vine. “Zarzaparilla” came into English as sarsaparilla. • Strawberry comes from the word “streaw” which means strew, because the plant strews runners across the ground. • Cranberries were first called “cranebarries” because the stamens of the flowers look like the beak of a crane. Likewise, geraniums were named from the Greek word “geranos” meaning crane, because the seed pods are pointed like the bill of a crane. • Nettles were so named because they were originally used to weave nets.

* “Dust from the top down, and clean walls from the bottom up. Dust falls, so by the time you get to the bottom, you’ve got it all, but drips are easier to clean off when the wall is already clean.” -- I.M. in Ohio * Here’s how to ballpark the temperature of your camping fire for cooking. Arrange a cooking pot over the fire. A Dutch oven works best. Hold your hand about even with the side. Beginning at 550, count backward by 50 -- i.e., 550, 500, 450. When you have to remove your hand, you’ll have an approximate temperature of the coals.

* “Got a great pair of jeans with a zipper that just won’t stay up? Try this fantastic fix. Take a metal ring (like the one on a keychain) and feed it through the zipper pull. Then zip up. When you get to the top, loop the metal ring around the button, then button up the jeans. That barn door is staying closed!” -- S. in Oregon * You can thread a needle better if you spray the thread end with hairspray. It stiffens the fiber, which will then stay straight.

* Use an old lip brush to take care of stray nail polish mistakes when you’re painting your nails. It’s MUCH better than trying to use a cotton swab, since no strands of cotton get left behind. A lip brush is small and tight, so it can get into precision spots. You can use a cotton pad with a little nail polish remover on it to clean it up after you’re done.
