TIDBITS® GETS STUCK IN TRAFFIC by Janet Spencer

On August 5, 1914, a stoplight was installed on the corner of East 105th Street and Euclid Avenue in Cleveland, Ohio. It had two colors, red and green, and a buzzer to provide a warning for color changes. This allowed police and fire stations to control the signals in case of emergency. It was the world’s first traffic light. Come along with Tidbits as we fight our way through traffic!

When autos were a new invention, Tennessee passed a law stating that any motorist who planned on taking a ride had to forewarn the community by placing notices in the local paper a week before the ride was to occur. In 1912 Nebraska passed a law stating all drivers at night had to shoot off a rocket every 150 yards, wait eight minutes, then drive ahead while blowing the horn and firing Roman candles.

STARTLING STATISTICS If you are between 5 and 35, you’re more likely to die in a traffic accident than from any other single cause. One out of every 60 children born today will die in an auto accident. Traffic accidents take twice as many lives as do guns, knives, and all other weapons combined.

• William Phelps Eno was nine years old in 1867 when he went to New York City with his mother. When the performance at the New York Opera House let out, their horse and carriage got involved in the subsequent traffic jam which required two hours to untangle, even though only a dozen carriages were involved. Eno never forgot the experience, and devoted the rest of his life to improving traffic control. • This became increasingly important as horses were replaced by cars on the streets of the nation. In 1903 Eno published “Rules of Driving” which became a primer for drivers. He invented such rules of the road as slow traffic keep right and passing allowed on the left only. He invented one-way streets, safety islands, rotary traffic, pedestrian crosswalks, the stop sign, the taxi stand, and traffic cops. • Still, Eno felt that stoplights would never work and traffic cops would always be needed at intersections. He preferred rotaries to stop signals as the best way to keep traffic flowing. This concept strongly influenced the building of Piccadilly Circus in London and the rotary around the Arc de Triomphe in Paris. He was awarded the cross of the Legion of Honor by the French government after World War I because his traffic system allowed the French to speed 60,000 troops to Verdun to halt the German advance toward Paris and turn the tide of the war. • Eno lived long enough to see his ideas implemented throughout the country. He also made many trips to Europe and Asia to help them with their traffic control problems. William Eno died in 1945 at the age of 86.Throughout his life, William Eno, known today as “the father of traffic safety,” hated to drive. His chauffeur drove him everywhere.

DEAR PAW’S CORNER: Can dogs get sunburned? -- Greg D., New York DEAR GREG: Yes, they absolutely can. A dog’s fur provides only a little protection from the sun, and exposed parts of its skin -- such as the nose, ears, belly and paws -- can get burned as quickly as any human’s skin burns, within 30 minutes (or less) of direct summer sunlight. And dogs are at risk of getting skin cancer, just as humans are. Short-haired and light or white-haired dogs are especially vulnerable to sunburn. So, how can you keep your pet from getting burned? Preventing direct exposure is the best way -- that means keeping dogs inside during the hottest part of the day. Keeping dogs hydrated also is important, so always have cool water on hand.

When they do go out, especially if it’s sunny or you will be out for awhile, put sunblock on those danger areas, like the nose and ears, the tops of their paws and their belly. Pet sunscreen is available at stores like Petco. In a pinch, children’s or baby-safe sunblock is better to use on dogs than sunblock developed for adult humans. It’s gentler on your dog’s skin and causes less of a reaction. Don’t use sunscreens that contain zinc oxide or PABA, which if ingested can cause health problems like anemia in some pets. Reapply sunscreen to the dog every couple of hours when outside, and keep your dog in the shade or inside as much as possible. Send your questions or comments to ask@ pawscorner.com.

Welcome to Goose Tips! Ice Cream Bread. Yes, you heard me correctly---

ICE CREAM BREAD

All is right in the world. Ice cream and self rising flour have made beautiful food love and made delicious babies. Perfectly soft bread babies. Seriously, you MUST stop what you are doing right now and make this. I used Butter Pecan Ice Cream because that’s my fav, but you can use whatever flavor you want. This recipe makes one 8 x 4 loaf. You need: 2 cups Ice Cream, softened 1 1/2 cups Self-Rising Flour Preheat your oven to 350. Spray and flour a 8x4 loaf pan. In a medium bowl mix the ice cream and flour together until just combined. Scoop into the loaf pan and smooth out. Bake for about 45 minutes or until a toothpick stuck in the loaf comes out with a few crumbs stuck to it. Remove from pan and allow to cool (if you can wait that long)! When you decide to dine out, gather around our table at the goose! Thanks to you we are celebrating 5 years, now serving beer and wine and wild game every Friday. The Wounded Goose, we have a lot of competition, but our food doesn’t! ---Kat Brabham, owner 740-388-0565

STOP SIGNS • Although William Eno invented the stop sign, it was the Mississippi Valley Association of State Highway Departments who came up with the sign’s iconic shape. In 1923, they developed a system of street-sign shapes still used today. Their idea was that the more sides a sign has, the higher the danger level it invokes. They reasoned that the circle, which has an infinite number of sides, screamed danger, so it was used for railroad crossings. The octagon, with its eight sides, was used for stop signs, the diamond shape was for warning signs, and the rectangle and square shapes were used for informational signs. • It took a bit longer to determine the stop sign’s color. It wasn’t until 1935 that traffic engineers created the first uniform standards for the nation’s road signage. They recommended stop signs be yellow with black letters. The 1954 revision, however, called for the stop sign to be red with white letters. Before then, they could not produce a reflective material in red that would last without fading. It just was not durable. It wasn’t until a suitable product was invented in the 1950s that stop signs became red.

NO STOPING ALLOWED • In 1944, the newspaper in Durham, S.C. reported that a local man had been taken to traffic court for parking his car in front of a sign that said, “No Stoping.” The man pleaded not guilty. The sign should have said, “No Stopping” (with two P’s). He argued that “stoping” meant to extract ore, and he certainly had not been extracting ore. He moved that the case be dismissed. The judge agreed, and the spelling on the sign presumably was corrected.

• On Aug. 6, 1902, Arthur Flegenheimer, who will go on to become one of New York’s most feared criminals under the name “Dutch Schultz,” is born.

• It was Flannery O’Connor, noted American writer of novels and short stories, who made the following observation: “Everywhere I go I’m asked if I think the university stifles writers. My opinion is that they don’t stifle enough of them.” • In Saudi Arabia, there is an entire police unit dedicated solely to the pursuit of crimes of witchcraft. • Lee DeForest, known as the Father of Radio, said in 1926, “While theoretically and technically television may be feasible, commercially and financially I consider it an impossibility, a development of which we need to waste little time dreaming.” • Eleanor Ritchey was the granddaughter of Philip John Bayer, founder of Quaker State Oil. She was the sole inheritor of her grandfather’s fortune, and she had no children of her own. When she died in 1968 she was worth $12 million. Other than some shoes (1,700 pairs) and stationery (1,200 boxes) that she left to the Salvation Army, her entire estate was used to create a trust for the 150 stray dogs she had adopted. The pets lived in luxury, dying of old age one by one, until 1984, when the last one -- the richest dog in the country -- also succumbed. The remainder of the inheritance then went to Auburn University. • If you’re planning a trip to Syracuse, N.Y., you might want to take a detour about 35 miles east to the small town of Verona. There you can visit the world’s smallest church -- but don’t plan to go in and have a seat. Cross Island Chapel is only 6 feet by 3.5 feet. The minister can stand inside, but everyone else has to stay outside. Thought for the Day: “If you can’t get rid of the skeleton in your closet, you’d best teach it to dance.” -- George Bernard Shaw (c) 2014 King Features Synd., Inc.

For Advertising Call (740) 446-4543 ACCIDENTAL SIGNS • In 1751 George II of England erased a debt he owed to George Deakins by telling him he could have 600 acres of land in Maryland. Deakins was determined to get the best 600 acres he could, so he hired two sets of surveyors to look over the land and tell him what they thought. Neither team knew about the other team, so Deakins was amazed when each group recommended the same plot. Deakins considered this an accident of fate and dubbed the land “The Accidental Tract.” Today the town that grew up there is known as Accident, Maryland. They have trouble preventing their interstate signs from being stolen. The signs say, “Accident Ahead.” UNIQUE TRAFFIC CONTROL • The town park in Napa, California had plenty of traffic control signs, stop signs, and signs asking drivers to slow down. Still, the park was plagued by accidents. Finally the City Park Superintendent purchased 85 chickens, releasing them in the park to act as traffic controls. The chickens did nothing except strut around, completely oblivious to all traffic. But drivers were so reluctant to run over the birds as they wandered around on the roads that they slowed down considerably. The accident rate plunged and only nine birds were lost the first year. R.I.P. • On November 16, 1983, folks in Caldwell, Idaho removed “Red-Eyed Pete,” the last traffic light on Interstate 80. After its demise, people were able to drive coast-to-coast nonstop. Three morticians were on duty when Red-Eyed Pete was dismantled, laid out in a horse-drawn hearse, and carried a mile to his grave. The mayor delivered a eulogy as the casket was lowered into the ground. His headstone read, “Here lies Red-Eyed Pete, the one red light you need no longer beat.”

Famous Canadians

HENRY SETH TAYLOR

• Henry Seth Taylor was a natural tinkerer and a watchmaker by profession. Born in Stanstead, Quebec, in 1833, he loved to experiment with machines. He invented the first sofa-bed and an early version of a phonograph. He is best known, however, for building Canada’s first steam-powered car. • Self-propelled steam-powered horseless carriages had been around for years by the time Taylor unveiled his own model, but Taylor’s had the distinction of being the first car built in Canada. • He designed the steam buggy and created much of it himself, machining cylinders, drive shafts, and axles. The boiler was at the rear of the carriage and was connected to a front water tank by two rubber hoses. A hand throttle controlled the speed both forward and reverse, and a tiller controlled the steering. Because the local roads were badly rutted and there seemed little chance of Taylor’s losing control, he never installed brakes, an oversight he would later regret. • In September of 1867, the Stanstead Journal reported on the newly completed “steam buggy,” which was to be unveiled at the upcoming Stanstead Fair. “This mechanical curiosity is the neatest thing of the kind yet invented, the whole carriage, engine and boiler only weighing 500 lbs. It is intended to run without noise or smoke, and will probably show some fast time.” • The day that Taylor drove his new buggy onto a field at the Stanstead Fair, a hose burst, releasing steam and bringing the vehicle to a halt. Taylor had to push it off the field amid ridicule from onlookers. Despite the humiliation, Taylor made the necessary repairs and continued to drive his steam buggy around town. (cont’d next page)

Glass Shoes Q: My greataunt collected glass shoes throughout the 1930s and ‘40s. I have inherited her collection of several dozen. Are they worth keeping? -- Suzanne, Palmetto, Fla. A: Little shoes made of glass were produced by dozens of companies in hundreds of shapes, styles and colors. Some of the earliest I have seen were made during the Victorian era. A fairly good guide is “Collectible Shoes of Glass” by Earlene Wheatley (Collector Books). Prices for the shoes depend on age, condition and desirability, but some can command hundreds of dollars each.

Q: I was stationed in Germany during the 1950s and began buying Hummel figurines when I could find them. I didn’t intend to be such a collector, but eventually discovered that I had amassed more than 75 individual pieces. Can you recommend a good price guide so I can determine values for insurance purposes? -- Robert, Madison, Wisc. A: There are several excellent guides. My personal favorite is “The Official M.I. Hummel Price Guide: Figurines & Plates” by Heidi Ann Von Recklinghauser. It features more than 2,000 illustrations, and updated listings and values for most of the editions, including the more recent

HENRY SETH TAYLOR, cont’d On a subsequent drive through the village, however, Taylor and his car were involved in what might be described as the first automobile accident in Canadian history. While descending a steep hill, the car began to pick up speed, careening out of control. Without any brakes and with a fully stoked, scalding-hot boiler at his back, he had no choice but to jump out of the vehicle, which overturned at the bottom of the hill. The car was a wreck, and its frustrated builder gave up on it, turning his attention instead to building a steam-powered yacht. After salvaging its boiler for his new yacht, Taylor scrapped the car in the back of his barn, where it languished until long after his death in 1887. It was nearly a century before it was re-discovered and taken to the United States. Restored by an antique car buff (this time with brakes added), it was returned to Canada, where it is now the property of the Science and Technology Museum in Ottawa. Finally receiving the recognition it deserved, “Taylor’s Folly” was depicted on a stamp in 1993. In 1904 Canada’s automotive industry began with the establishment of Ford Motor Company of Canada, Ltd. By 1913 there were some 50,000 motor vehicles in Canada; between 1918 and 1923, Canada became the world’s second largest vehicle producer and a major exporter of automobiles and auto parts. Today, Canada is the eighth largest auto producer in the world and the third largest exporter, after Japan and the U.S. More than 80% of Canadian-made cars are exported. The automotive industry is the largest manufacturing sector in Canada. Canada has one of the world’s highest ratios of automobiles to inhabitants, with more than 33 million people and more than 18 million registered automobiles, of which more than 75% are private cars.

Online at www.lovemytidbits.com CAR DESIGNERS • Most people think Henry Ford was the first person to construct automobiles using an assembly line. But they’re wrong – the idea was actually invented by a man whose first name was Ransom. For QUALITY SERVICE at an AFFORDABLE PRICE, LET MIKE DO IT RIGHT!!! 740-245-0006 164 St Rt 325 S, Rio Grande, OH

• Ransom was born in Ohio in 1864. His father was a blacksmith who owned a machine shop, so Ransom grew up tinkering. He developed an internal combustion engine and founded his own car company in Lansing, Michigan in 1897. The company, and the car he produced, were named after him. The engine was successful but the car was not, so he moved the factory to Detroit and started over. • This time the car sold better, until his factory burned down and he had to start over again. In 1901 he got the idea for an assembly line, which increased his output from 425 cars in 1901 to 2,500 in 1902 and 6,500 in 1905. It was the first car to be produced in quantity. • For the next several years his company produced more cars than any other American company. General Motors bought the company in 1908 and produced Ransom’s cars until they were discontinued in 2004. • In 1912, Henry Ford took Ransom’s idea for an assembly line and added a conveyor belt, which allowed him to increase production while also dropping the price. Though Ford is generally thought of as being the father of the auto industry, the title truly belongs to Ransom. What was his last name, given to a car and a company? (answer at top of next page)

FAILED DESIGN • In 1913 the Jackson Motor Company came out with a new model called the Duck. The steering wheel and brake pedal were located in the back seat, where the driver sat. Passengers sat in the front, where they completely blocked the driver’s view.

A SPORTS CAR

• Fred and August Duesenberg were brothers who left Germany and moved to Iowa, where they established an automobile company in 1913. They named the company after themselves, and began to build sports cars. • The Duesenberg SJ roadster had a 320 horsepower engine; it could do 130 miles per hour, and could go from zero to 60 m.p.h. in eight seconds. A Duesenberg won the Indianapolis 500 in 1924, 1925, and 1927, and a Duesenberg also won the Grand Prix in 1921. It was said that, “The only car that could pass a Duesenberg was another Duesenberg.” • Not only were the cars fast and sporty, but they offered many special features and innovative design improvements. They became the luxury vehicle of choice among nobility and movie stars. Clark Gable and Gary Cooper each drove one, as did the Duke of Winsdor and the King of Spain. The cars cost up to $25,000 in a day and age when the average physician earned about $3,000 per year. The Duesenberg brothers claimed they built the best cars in the world, and the car’s performance record, combined with its extraordinary opulence, backed them up. • The Duesenberg brothers were better car makers than they were businessmen, though, and the company faltered and failed during the Great Depression. However, their name lives on because the common abbreviation for the vehicles they built has come into our language as a slang word meaning something excellent, powerful, or extraordinary. What’s the word? Answer below.

For Advertising Call (740) 446-4543 Sweating Buckets By Keith Roach, M. D,

DEAR DR. ROACH: I hope you can help me. I am 67 years old and have been sweating profusely from my head for about six years. I believe it is secondary hyperhidrosis. No one in my family has this problem. The sweating seems to happen at all different times, but not at night. The moisture runs in rivulets from my scalp anytime from morning to evening, but mostly in the morning. I tried stopping my water pill, but it still happened. It happened when I stopped vitamins and took only my medications for physical problems. My doctor tested my thyroid, and it was fine. Please help me, as it is an embarrassing ailment, and it happens no matter the season or what I have eaten. I do drink tea and coffee, but not soda. There are people who have said I should take Botox, but I have little faith in the product, as it can cause serious health problems and death. -- M.E. ANSWER: “Hyperhidrosis” simply means “too much sweat.” I think you probably have primary hyperhidrosis, meaning that the sweating is the only

problem, as opposed to secondary, which means it’s due to something else. Other conditions that can lead to secondary hyperhidrosis include the thyroid disease your doctor looked for, and medications (which it also doesn’t seem to be). Other rare causes, such as tuberculosis and lymphoma, surely would have produced other symptoms by now. The most common sites for hyperhidrosis are the palms, armpits and soles of the feet. Nearly everybody sweats in those places, but with hyperhidrosis, the amount of sweat is much greater than normal and can have serious emotional, professional and social effects. The first treatment I would recommend would be a prescription antiperspirant, either aluminum chloride (Xerac) or topical glycopyrrolate (available by compounding pharmacies in the U.S. and Canada). The scalp is a harder place than most to apply it, but after applying, you can dry with a hair dryer, and use a plastic shower cap to keep the medicine on at nighttime. Occasionally, oral medications such as clonidine are used. Botulinum toxin (Botox) is usually quite safe in expert hands. A last resort is surgery to remove the sympathetic nerves to the scalp, a procedure that’s very effective. DEAR DR. ROACH: In a recent column, you wrote,

ANSWER: Fructose is a sugar naturally found in fruits, but also in sweeteners, especially honey and high-fructose corn syrup. Other sugars, such as glucose, improve fructose absorption. Few people get symptoms just from natural foods, because these contain the other natural sugars that improve fructose absorption. On the other hand, sorbitol (a “sugar alcohol”) decreases fructose absorption. Almost half the population cannot completely absorb fructose, and the more fructose people take in, the greater the risk of the symptoms of malabsorption, including diarrhea, gas and bloating. I recommend against HFCS for many reasons, but this is another one. For people with symptoms of malabsorption, I recommend a trial of reducing fructose and sorbitol. Dr. Roach regrets that he is unable to answer individual letters, but will incorporate them in the column whenever possible. Readers may email questions to ToYourGoodHealth@med.cornell. edu.

Air Conditioner Alternatives

Burial Benefit Just Got Easier

Q: What is the difference between an air conditioner and an evaporator? Is one better for my home? I just need something to cool the front room occasionally in the summertime, and I hate window units. -- George F., Burlington, Vt. A: An evaporative cooler can be a cost-effective alternative to an air conditioner, but it’s not always the best choice. Also known as swamp coolers, evaporative coolers add humidity to the air in your house. They bring in air from the outside, pass it over water-soaked pads, and blow that humidified air inside. If you live in a hot, dry climate like the Southwest, a swamp cooler can be a very efficient way to cool the house. In hot, humid climates, not so much, because the air in the house is already humid. Air conditioners work well in humid climates because they help remove some of that humidity from the air. While they’re not dehumidifiers per se, the unit recirculates air in the room. As that air passes over the air conditioner’s evaporator coil, the moisture in the air condenses and is drained from the unit, while the air is blown back into the room. That process helps cool the air and reduce mugginess. Both units need regular maintenance: An evaporative cooler’s pads need to be changed every few weeks while in use, and an air conditioner’s filter needs to be cleaned or replaced each month in the warm season. If you hate lugging window units in and out of the window each year, look into buying a portable air conditioner. These typically cost more than window units (sometimes twice as much for the same BTU level) but can be rolled from room to room as needed and stored out of the way when not needed. Just remember that the portable unit’s ventilation hose must vent outside, meaning the unit needs to stay near a window. And you probably will need to empty the condensation tray regularly, in cheaper units. A final alternative is natural ventilation. If you get cool nights or steady breezes, open windows in the early morning and late evening, and invest in heavy curtains to cover windows in which the sun shines during the afternoon. Add an electric fan to keep fresh air circulating constantly. In certain climates, this can give you a comfortable home except for the hottest, most humid days of the year. HOME TIP: BTUs are important in buying an air conditioner, so find out the minimum BTU level you need for the space you’re trying to cool before purchasing. Send your questions or home tips to ask@ thisisahammer.com. (c) 2014 King Features Synd., Inc.

NOW A BOWTECH DEALER

As of July 2014, surviving spouses no longer need to apply for burial benefits after the death of a veteran. It used to be that survivors had to submit receipts and forms after the burial of a veteran, and then wait for the reimbursement check. The amounts were small: $300 for a nonservice-connected death, and $2,000 if it was service-connected. Now, as the Department of Veterans Affairs tries to cut back on the number of claims it processes, the authorized amounts will be paid automatically once it’s notified of a veteran’s death. Unfortunately, the amounts will remain the same. The veteran still will be eligible for other benefits. A headstone (granite or marble) or marker (granite, marble, bronze) will be provided at no cost, but there is likely to be a cost for placement if it’s not a national cemetery. A medallion can be provided to attach to a headstone that was privately purchased at a civilian cemetery. For questions or to check status of headstone applications, you can call 1-800-697-6947. Survivors also can apply to receive a keepsake burial flag. This year, the VA estimates it will pay the benefit to 62,000 surviving spouses. If you’re a surviving spouse, a funeral director will typically take on the task of notifying the VA and Social Security, but don’t take that for granted. Ask.

New Food Guidelines Reveal Cancer Risk It used to be much simpler to know what to eat. Remember the Basic 7 food groups we ate as children? That became the Basic Four. Then for years we followed the Food Pyramid, which was followed by MyPyramid. More recently we have MyPlate telling us how what to eat. Then there were all the changes to specific foods. Coffee was good, and then it was bad. Chocolate was bad, and then it was good. Add aging and physical changes and doctors’ orders, and our diets have likely changed even more. We haven’t known why, really, we should eat or avoid certain foods. Now we do know. The Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine has created a graphic that shows exactly how harmful or helpful certain foods and drinks are -- and how likely they are to increase or reduce risk of cancer. Here are some of the specific cancer risks from the graphic: • Two glasses of milk per day causes a 60 percent increase in the risk of prostate cancer. Dairy protein products do, too, but at a rate of 32 percent increased risk. • Two or three glasses of alcohol -- 21 percent increase. Processed meat -- 21 percent. Red meat -- 28 percent. • A “Western diet” (burger, fries and a drink) -- a whopping 200 percent. On the other side of the scale, cruciferous vegetables (broccoli, cabbage) lower the risk 18 percent. Fruits -- 11 percent. Carotenoid vegetables (think: orange color) -- 19 percent. A healthy lifestyle in general gets us a 30 percent decrease in cancer risk. Before you make any big changes to your diet, run this information by your doctor and ask for advice. Given how fast the guidelines change, there might be updated news.

After the Savings first week, your children will see what the others are

“Back-to-school shopping” ... the phrase sends shivers of dread down the spines of most parents. While some expenditures can’t be avoided, planning can go a long way toward minimizing the damage to your wallet. Here are eight ways to save: 1) Step one, as always, is to create a budget. What can you reasonably spend per child, both now and in the months to come? 2) Before you start spending, make lists: What do you have, and what do you need? Go through closets and see what can be worn (at least for a few months) when school starts. 3) Start reading the inserts in the paper now. Your school likely will have produced its “must have” supply list for each grade. But before you buy a single pencil, look at what’s left over from last year, and incorporate those items into your planning. Look at the dollar-type stores for consumables like paper, pens and erasers. Try to get enough for the whole year if you find bargains. But beware: Some stores will have a few items priced for less on loss leaders to get you into the store, where they hope you’ll do all your shopping.

wearing, and you might find items coming on sale at that point. 5) Save those receipts. Sometimes an item will go on sale after you’ve bought it. With receipt in hand, you might get a refund from the store. 6) Backpacks are expensive. See if a few stitches here and there on a beat-up backpack, as well as a few colorful sew-on patches, will make it serviceable again. 7) Make use of Goodwill, Salvation Army and other charity shops. The younger the child, the more you’re likely to get away with this. Once children reach middle school, they become more aware of fashions and want to dress like their peers. Still, with careful shopping you can net real bargains. If you need heavy winter coats, this is the place to look, as coat styles don’t change as radically from year to year. 8) If older children want expensive name brands, insist that they pitch in on the cost. Once they learn they can get four pairs of jeans for the cost of one expensive pair, they might change their mind.
