• Berliner's gramophone was a considerable improvement over previous devices used for capturing and reproducing sound. Using a sensitive stylus to etch sound vibrations into grooves on a rotating hard rubber or glass disc, his device made a permanent record of the human voice, musical instruments and other sounds that could be reproduced in quantity and sold to consumers. His gramophone could record up to four minutes of sound on an 11-inch disc rotating at a speed of 30 rpm.

Mary Answers Readers’ Credit Card Questions

* It was peace-loving, nonviolent Indian activist Mahatma Gandhi who made the following sage observation: “First they ignore you, then they laugh at you, then they fight you, then you win.” * In 1905, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, author of the Sherlock Holmes stories, became one of the first people ever to be fined for speeding. * Appropriately, the patron saint of bankers is St. Meingold. * Ever wonder how BVDs came to be called that? From the names of the men who originally manufactured them: Bradley, Voorhies and Day. * Less than half the people in the world use a spoon, fork and knife to eat. The rest use chopsticks, just a knife or their hands. * In Babylon 4,000 years ago, it was accepted practice that for a month after the wedding, the bride’s father would supply his son-in-law with all the mead he could drink. Mead is a honey beer, and so that time became known as the honey month -what we know today as the honeymoon. * People who pick chili peppers in Costa Rica have to wear special suits to avoid getting blisters just from coming into contact with them.

* The Pledge of Allegiance was published in 1892 in celebration of the 400th anniversary of Columbus’ voyage to the New World. It didn’t contain the words “under God,” though, until 1954, when they were added by an act of Congress in an attempt Nov. 16, 2019 to check the creepingSat., advance of “Godless Communism.” w carefully.

Dog Talk with Uncle Matty By Matthew Margolis

Creators News Service

Owning an aggressive dog and doing nothing about it is like watching a cancer grow. That cancer turns out to be especially insidious when you add small children to the equation. You know on some level it’s not going to end well. And usually, it’s the dog that gets burned. Couples who at first are married without kids often get a dog to dote on and hone their caretaking skills. They know they want to have kids someday, but someday seems so very far away. Years go by, and the dog rarely if ever is exposed to children. He’s living large, the center of attention, and then one day his whole world flips upside down -- and he’s none too pleased. Here’s another scenario, sent to me from a dog owner looking for help: “We are looking to find a non-kid house for our six-year-old dog. He has bitten two children in the past three months, one of which was my oneyear-old. Some say he is jealous, but we feel he has issues isolated to children. He came to us at three months of age and growled at a little girl that same week. “He had two years of obedience training with a retired K-9 cop who trains police dogs. My heart is breaking for my children and for my husband and I, as parting with him was the furthest thing from our minds. However, the next time it may be a face or worse. Please help. He does quite well with adults, and we fear he is miserable here with the kids.” A little shy of six years ago, this couple saw the beginnings of a tumor and let it go. They did the right thing in getting obedience training for the dog, but obedience training isn’t enough when dealing with an aggressive dog, and K-9 training is its own beast that has nothing to do with socializing a dog and curbing or eliminating aggression targeted toward children. Another scenario -- no doubt with the same ending -- stems from children not being taught how to handle a dog. Just as every person has a limit, every dog has a pain threshold. Parents often think it’s so cute when baby pulls on the dog, crawls on the dog, and pokes and slaps at the dog. These parents are almost prideful in their declarations that Casey's Corner: Turn to page 10

SENIOR NEWS LINE by Matilda Charles © King Features Synd., Inc.

Deciding Where to Retire Bankrate’s study of the best and worst states for retirement pegs Nebraska, Iowa, Missouri, South Dakota and Florida as the top five. It’s easy to just take a list such as this and call the movers, but it’s the details that matter.All 50 states in the study were ranked in terms of affordability, crime, culture, weather and wellness. Nebraska, at the top of the list, had a rating of only 14 for affordability but did well on the other criteria. Missouri, third on the list, was No. 1 for affordability, but only average or below average ratings on the other benchmarks.

Casey’s Corner

Go there. Stay as long as you can, at least through a vacation. Make contacts. Call real estate agents and tour homes to see what you can get in your price range. Contact the medical center and see if they have what you need. (Check Hospital Compare on medicare. gov.) Read the local newspaper. Visit places of worship and talk to as many locals as possible for honest opinions, not the glowing advertising copy on the Chamber of Commerce web sites. Visit the police department and ask about crime, as opposed to believing a study. Check the nearest college for senior classes. Drive around and look for depressed areas. Is there a senior center with interesting activities? Do the math. Can you afford your new location? Are there part-time work options if you need more money? Deciding where to retire really does mean visiting the location and doing your homework.

Tidbits of Coachella Valley runs 15-20 miles per week, with prostate gland enlargement and reduced urinary frequency with occasional use of Advil. As a runner, I have been reluctant to make ibuprofen a daily regimen because I have read that inflammation is part of the body’s response to tissue damage, which is crucial to the healing process and is important for muscle growth. When ibuprofen’s anti-inflammatory effect reduces symptoms, does it affect the healing process also? Can you comment on the pros and cons for runners? -- B.M.

ware sets, shaving mugs and garden ornaments. Around the turn of the last century, the factory made at least 10,000 sets of dinnerware a month. Warwick China Co. later added the production of hotel, restaurant and railroad china. They dabbled in bone china after 1940. Their wares were either hand-painted or decorated with decals. A variety of pieces were decorated with brown glazes that shaded to cream and were decorated with images of Native Americans, monks, fraternal motifs and provocative young ladies. The word “IOGA” that is included with the mark was used on these pieces.

Famille Rose Porcelain Made in China

Chinese exported Famille Rose porcelain.

Your teapot, cups and saucers are examples of Chinese export Famille Rose porcelain. The discovery of porcelain is attributed to the Chinese as early as the 1300s. “Famille” is the French word for “family.” Famille Rose porcelain was decorated with a pink palette, which explains its name. The Chinese also produced Famille Verte (green) porcelain. Your teapot and matching cups and saucers were made around 1900 and might fetch $250 to $450. *** I have provided the mark that is on the bottom of a tall ironstone pitcher. It is cylinder-shaped and decorated with the portrait of a young woman. The glaze is cream that shades to brown, and it has a twig-shaped handle. It is in mint condition and is 10 inches high. What can you tell me about my pitcher?

* On Jan. 26, 1918, soon after the Bolsheviks seized control in Russia, the former Russian state of Ukraine declares its total independence. In 1922, Ukraine became part of the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics; it would not regain its independence until the USSR’s collapse in 1991. * On Jan. 25, 1924, the first Winter Olympics begins at Chamonix in the French Alps. Spectators were thrilled by the ski jump and bobsled, two of 12 events involving six sports.

Warwick China Co. was founded in 1887.

Enclosed is a photo of a porcelain teapot and a pair of matching cups and saucers. They are decorated with pink flowers, birds and figures against a white background. I inherited them from my grandmother at least 40 years ago, but I know nothing about their histor y, vintage or value. Anything you can tell me will be greatly appreciated.

Vol. XVI Issue 4

During the late 18th century and early 19th century, Wheeling had a reputation of being a rough and ready city. It has been suggested the popular portraits of young women were ladies of the night. The ladies worked in an area close to the factory, which gives some credibility to the story. Warwick China Co. is shrouded with mystery. No one has solved the legend of the ladies or the meaning of the word “IOGA.” Many documents were swept away in the flood of 1936, and the remaining ones were lost in a fire. Your tankard was made between 1905 and 1920. It would be worth about $75 to $125. * * *

* On Jan. 24, 1943, German Gen. Friedrich von Paulus, commander in chief of the German 6th Army at Stalingrad, urgently requests permission from Adolf Hitler to surrender. Hitler refused. Of more than 280,000 men under Paulus’ command, half were already dead or dying. Paulus held out until Jan. 31, when he finally surrendered. * On Jan. 23, 1968, the USS Pueblo, a Navy intelligence ship, is engaged in a routine surveillance of the North Korean coast when it is captured by North Korean patrol boats. Eleven months later, negotiators reached a settlement to resolve the crisis and free the surviving 82 crewmen. * On Jan. 21, 1977, U.S. President Jimmy Carter grants an unconditional pardon to hundreds of thousands of men who evaded the draft during the Vietnam War. Some 100,000 young Americans went abroad in the late 1960s and early ‘70s to avoid military service.

* On Jan. 20, 1980, bleachers at a bullring in Sincelejo, Colombia, collapse, resulting in the deaths of 222 people. The deadliest tragedy at a sporting event in Colombia’s history was the result of overcrowding and poor construction. * On Jan. 22, 2003, the U.S. Census Bureau releases detailed statistics on race and ethnicity showing that the Hispanic population was the country’s largest minority group. Some 29% of immigrants in the U.S. had come from Mexico alone.

Langer’s Longevity Bernhard Langer has created a Senior Tour career that few would have envisioned after witnessing his PGA Tour days. Putting yips were sure to keep him from winning, yet with the long putter working successfully, Langer has relied upon his swing to elevate his game to one of the best senior champions ever. Langer’s strong grip and “two part” backswing are truly his secrets of success. By two parts, we mean that as his body turned in the backswing, his arms would create a lifting action that would raise his hands high above his right shoulder. Many golfers glue those two actions together: body turns as arms swing around, or arms lift as body slides.
