Come along with Tidbits as we go for a drive! THE ORIGINAL MODEL • The first Ford Model T left the Ford Motor Company factory in Detroit, Michigan, on September 27, 1908. Within ten years, over half of all cars sold in America were the Ford Model T. • By 1914, Ford’s mass production techniques allowed the company to turn out 300,000 cars per year using only 13,000 workers compared to 66,350 workers at all the other car companies who collectively turned out only 280,000 cars. • The Model T was the first car that the common man could own. It was lowpriced, reliable, and easy to repair. It could be hitched up to pump water, saw wood, chop silage, or generate electricity. With a change of wheels, it could double as a tractor. It operated as a pick-up truck, hay wagon, taxi, or fire engine. • The Model T started out priced at $850 in 1908, then dropped to $360 and later went down to $290 in 1925 (equal to about $4000 today). • It had a 20-horsepower, four cylinder engine and could travel about 45 mph (72 kph), getting up to 20 (32 km) miles per gallon. From 1908 till the end of production in 1927, over 15 million Model T Fords were made.

FAST FACT
• Chauncey Depew, a United States senator and orator, once told his nephew to forget about investing $5,000 in Henry Ford’s new business, saying, “Nothing has come along that can beat the horse and buggy!” CHOICE OF COLORS • Ford once said, “Any customer can have a car painted any color that he wants so long as it is black.” Black paint was the only kind that would go through the spray nozzles easily and dry quickly. Finally, Pierre DuPont put his best scientists on the problem. DuPont’s scientists worked hard for months without success. • They were working in labs in New Jersey, where they shared a floor with other DuPont chemists who were trying to invent a better celluloid film. In the 1920s, movie films had a habit of disintegrating when they got hot. • One day, the celluloid researchers had just finished mixing a 55-gallon drum of cellulose when the electricity went off. The power stayed off for three days. The drum of cellulose was left outside in the hot sun, forgotten. The scientists, remembering the mixture later, called the paint people over to the drum. “Hey, you wanna see 55 gallons of cellulose goo?” But the paint scientists were intrigued to see that it had turned into a plastic syrup. They’d tried everything else in their paint guns— why not try this, too? It worked! Today you can have a car in any color you like because the lights went out in New Jersey.
FAST FACT
• You can’t sell black cars in India, where black is an unlucky color. Red stands for Communism and can’t be used on cars in many anti-Communist countries. In Japan maroon is reserved for the emperor and can’t be used on cars used by the common people. Yellow is the color of mourning in Japan and that’s why only hearses are painted yellow.

Cat on a Leash
DEAR PAW’S CORNER: I was at the park across the street the other day and saw my neighbor there. Get this: She was walking her cat. With a collar and leash. I didn’t know that was even possible, but the cat looked pretty content. How did my neighbor do that? -Gerry in San Diego DEAR GERRY: It’s something you’ll probably see more of, especially in cities and anywhere that pet owners live in smaller spaces with indoor cats. Bringing one’s cat outside on a leash allows it to roam around outside, supervised, for a little while each day. Naturally, most cats don’t take well to a leash and collar setup. A collar, when tugged on by the leash, can be really uncomfortable for cats. So cat owners should use a harness instead, which is more comfortable and stays secure when properly
put on. Getting the cat into the harness may take a little time, but with repeated sessions and lots of rewards, many cats get comfortable enough with the harness to walk around (rather than flop down and play dead until it’s removed, for example). Walking a cat is done only to get it outside, exploring the landscape. Cats don’t typically go pee or poop on command, and rarely in strange places, so don’t expect that to happen -- the litter box needs to stay in place. And you won’t see them heeling or doing tricks on command either. That’s more of a dog thing. Of course, owners still need to brush their cat’s fur to make sure no fleas or ticks hitch a ride into the house, and check their paws for cuts or burrs. That’s a small inconvenience in return for a happier cat. Send your questions or pet care tips to ask@ pawscorner.com. (c) 2016 King Features Synd., Inc.

Mr. RAND & Mr. McNALLY
• In 1856 William Rand founded a small printing shop in Chicago, specializing in publishing guidebooks, directories, and railroad schedules. Shortly afterwards, Rand hired Andrew McNally, and eventually made him a partner, naming the company Rand McNally. Their first maps showed railroad routes throughout the U.S. and Canada. They then branched out into globes and atlases of the world. • In 1917 Rand McNally published the first highway maps of the U.S. after inventing the system of naming the highways with numbers, a system that is still followed today. They later published “Goode’s World Atlas”, named after the editor of the book which became the standard geography text in schools. • Today, Rand McNally offers travel planning software, street atlas programs, a trucking route database, downloadable maps and directions, and GPS units. The company, headquartered in Skokie, Illinois, employs about 1,200 people. FAST FACT
• 50% of Americans surveyed reported that they keep maps in their glove compartments. 23% said they keep sunglasses in the glove compartment. Nobody said they keep gloves in the glove compartment. AN UNEXPECTED BEST SELLER
• In German, “Volkswagen” means “people’s car.” In 1937 Adolf Hitler commissioned Ferdinand Porsche to engineer a car that could carry two adults and three children, and that could get 62 mph (100km/h) while still being affordable enough for common citizens to purchase. (continued next page)

Disc Water Pitcher Q: I have a disc water pitcher made by Fiesta. I purchased it at a flea market for $75 and would like to resell it. I understand these pitchers are now selling for as much as $300 each. Mine is cobalt blue. -- Nancy, Reno, Nevada A: Your pitcher might be worth that much if it was authentic. It isn’t. What you purchased is a reproduction. Color is often a tipoff for Fiesta fakes and reproductions. One of the better references is “Fiesta: Identification and Price Guide” by Glen Victorey. Four of the original colors for the disc water pitchers are forest green, chartreuse, turquoise and rose. *** Q: I have a secretary desk that my parents purchased at auction in 1943. It is identified as being made by the Hekman Furniture Company. It has become a family heirloom but has been refinished and is not in its original state. Should I take it and have it professionally restored? -Carol, Bloomington, Indiana A: The Hekman Furniture Company was founded in Grand Rapids, Michigan, in 1922 by three brothers: Henry, Jelle and John Hekman. The first pieces produced were occasional tables. In 1942,

the company relocated its main show room to the Merchandise Mart in Chicago. During World War II, the plant made glider bottoms and ammunition boxes. The 1960s and ‘70s were a period of great expansion, and the company still exists. I have examined the picture you sent me of your desk, and I think it was probably manufactured during the 1930s. Only you can determine if you want to have it professionally restored. Consider the cost of this service against the current value of your desk. *** Q: I have a pair of plastic salt and pepper shakers that look like Phillips 66 gasoline pumps. Are they worth keeping? -- Betty, Buffalo, New York A: Your salt and pepper shakers were manufactured during the 1950s and were given away as premiums by Phillips 66 stations. They are valued in the $25 to $35 range by the “Salt and Pepper Price Guide,” by Mark Moran and published by Krause Books.

* It was 20th-century Florida politician Claude Pepper, member of the U.S. Senate and the U.S. House of Representatives, who made the following sage observation: “If more politicians in this country were thinking about the next generation instead of the next election, it might be better for the United States and the world.” * Those who study such things say that the letter “s” begins more words in the English language than any other letter. The letter “c” takes second place, followed by “p” in third.

* It may be difficult to picture a pope in anything other than the robes of office, but they certainly lead normal lives when they’re young. Pope John Paul II reputedly was an excellent soccer goalkeeper, and he worked as a playwright -- and even performed as an actor in some productions. * When black sheep get old, their wool turns gray. *** Thought for the Day: “Moral certainty is always a sign of cultural inferiority. The more uncivilized the man, the surer he is that he knows precisely what is right and what is wrong. All human progress, even in morals, has been the work of men who have doubted the current moral values, not of men who have whooped them up and tried to enforce them. The truly civilized man is always skeptical and tolerant, in this field as in all others. His culture is based on ‘I am not too sure.’” -- H.L. Mencken (c) 2016 King Features Synd., Inc.

Online at www.lovemytidbits.com THE INCREDIBLE VW • World War II interrupted the VW project and all car-production facilities were used to produce vehicles for the war effort instead. • After World War II, when American personnel were inspecting Germany, they examined the plant where Volkswagens were made. The Germans offered the factory to help pay for war damages. American officials scoffed at the ugly little Beetle car, saying it would never sell. The Germans kept their factory, and they kept producing VWs. By 1972 the Beetle was the best-selling single model ever manufactured. • The VW beetle was produced from 1938 until 2003. Over 21 million were produced, surpassing the number of Ford Model T’s and making it the most popular vehicle ever sold in the world. • Today VW is the largest automaker in Germany and Europe. • VW invented the first windshield washer in 1961. • In 1965 the six VW plants in Germany contained a total length of 135 miles (217 km) of continuous conveyor belts. • In 1962, the VW accounted for 60% of all imported car registrations in the U.S. IT’S A FACT • There are about 1 billion cars currently in use on Earth. About 165,000 new cars are produced every single day. • There are more cars than people in Los Angeles. • The average car has about 30,000 parts. • In 1901, the price of a barrel of crude oil was five cents, equal to about $1.44 in today’s U.S. currency. • The very last car that included a cassette tape player was the Ford Crown Vic, which still had an optional player in 2011.

Amazing Animals SPIDERS • Some time ago, a spider was called a “cop” and its web was called a “cop web.” Cobweb is considerably easier to pronounce. • A special oil on the body of a spider prevents the spider from sticking to its own web. • Some spider silks are able to stretch up to five times their length without breaking. • It would take 5,000 strands of spider web to made a ribbon one inch (2.5 cm) wide. • It would take 27,000 spider webs to produce a single pound (.45 kg) of spider silk. • The thinnest man-made thread is a gold filament four microns wide, but spider’s webs are as thin as one micron wide. • Some spider webs would reach for 300 miles (482 km) or more if their threads were straightened out. • One spider of the genus Nephila is the only spider in the world known to spin a goldencolored web. • Spiders typically build a web in about an hour. Once started on the job, they won’t stop until it is done. They build the web from the outside in. If you carefully remove the outside half of the web, the spider will continue to build the inside half and then will stop. • Experiments have been done on how amputating a spider’s legs affects its web. Not surprisingly, spiders with missing legs build webs that are smaller, have fewer radii, and contain fewer spiral turns. • Spiders produce a substance surprisingly similar to high-tech, high-strength polymers that humans been producing for just a few years. Spiders extrude a very strong polymer that is quite similar to today’s polypropylene. Spiders have developed a way of stretching the polymer before it dries so that it will gain even more durability. This is exactly the same process used in manufacturing polypropylene.

• Spiders have from three to five kinds of silk glands. Some kinds of silk are dry, some stay sticky, some is made to wrap egg sacks or prey, some are used to build webs, and some are used as draglines. Many kinds of spider never build a web at all. They have found other uses for silk. • The bolas spider throws a line with a sticky ball at the end of it to trap insects. • The purse-web spider builds a silk tube up the side of a tree, hides in it, and bites through it when an insect walks across it. • The jumping spider will launch itself into space from a high place to jump on prey, then float to the ground on a dragline. • Another kind of spider spits globs of sticky silk at potential victims. The silk arches over them and binds them to the ground. • One type of spider builds a small web between its hind legs. It jumps on insects, spreading its legs and wrapping the bug up in the web as if in a blanket. • The platform spider builds a silk sheet on top with a silk net underneath. Bugs hit the sheet and fall into the net. • Another kind of spider lives in a waterproof silk bubble underwater and breathes with silk sacs of air attached to its body. • A species of African spider whirls a string of silk above its head like a helicopter blade, waiting for an insect to fly into it. • Balloon spiders, which throw silk strands into the air in order to be lofted by the wind, have been found floating in the air more than 200 miles (321 km) from land. Weather balloons have found them at 30,000 feet (9 km). • The female crab spider will eat her mate if she gets a chance. Therefore male crab spiders are in the habit of tying the female’s legs to the ground with silk threads before mating.

PROUDLY MADE IN THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA WITH AMERICAN MADE STEEL.
TRACTORS • Born in Vermont in 1804, John was apprenticed to a blacksmith at the age of 17, later setting up his own shop. He had trouble paying his bills due to competition from other blacksmiths, so he moved to a town in Illinois that had no other blacksmiths. Work poured in and John’s reputation as a blacksmith spread. • Many customers were farmers bringing in their plows for repairs. Cast iron plows that easily turned the light soil of the eastern states were inefficient in the heavy sod of Illinois. John wondered if a plow made of steel would be better than a plow made of iron, so he began to experiment. The problem was that dirt clung to an iron plow and had to be cleaned off by hand every few steps. A polished steel plow, however, threw off dirt and was self-scouring, never needing cleaning at all. • In 1838 he sold his first steel plow. By 1841 John was selling a hundred plows a year. Soon they were selling so quickly that John dropped the blacksmithing and went into the plow business full-time. By 1856 he was selling 10,000 plows per year. • His son Charles joined the company and the firm expanded by inventing and producing seed drills, cultivators, harrows, and wagons. They invented the first plow that allowed the farmer to ride on a seat instead of walking behind the horse. • Long after John died in 1886, the company expanded into gasoline powered tractors and other farm machinery. Today the company, named after John’s last name, employs over 50,000 people, manufacturing agricultural and construction equipment. It has a net worth of over $40 billion. The company produces over 600 agricultural machines including backhoes, tractors, loaders, and water carriers. What was John’s last name? (Answer at top of next page)

TRACTORS (cont’d)
• Born in 1838 in Ohio, Daniel Best grew up to earn his living running a sawmill while doing some farming on the side. He was always interested in machinery and tinkered constantly, especially after he moved to California to work on his brother’s ranch. • In 1871 he patented a portable grain cleaner, and followed that with a machine that harvested, threshed, and cleaned all at the same time. Because the machine “combined” functions, it was called the “combine.” • Then Daniel became interested in the newly invented traction engine, whose name was shortened to “tractor.” Combines were still being pulled by horses, but Daniel thought it would be far more efficient if combines were towed by tractors. The problem was that the tractors were too large for a farmer to use in small fields. What the world needed was a small tractor for individuals to use. He designed a model that was smaller, more manageable, and easier to use. • Nearby, Benjamin Holt loved Daniel’s new tractor, but found the machine often got stuck in muddy fields. He improved the design by outfitting the tractor with treads similar to what tanks run on. This spread the weight out over a larger area and prevented the tractor from sinking into soft ground. • For years the companies were competitors, but the rival firms eventually merged. The new company was named for the distinctive crawl of the treads. It’s now the largest manufacturer of heavy equipment and farm machinery worldwide. Name it. (Answer below)
IT’S A FACT
• The Latin word “trahere” meaning “to pull” is the root of our “tractor.” “Traffic” comes from the Italian “traffic” meaning “to trade.” Answer: Caterpillar.

Not Just Parties, a GREAT PLACE TO Eat and Play ANYTIME!
By Keith Roach, M. D, Heart Disease Can Have Few or No Symptoms DEAR DR. ROACH: I recently went to my family doctor, complaining of left-arm pain and heartburn-like pain in my throat area. He said that he could admit me to the hospital for two days of testing or that it could be a pinched nerve in my neck. It was my choice not to go to the hospital, so he recommended meloxicam for a possible pinched nerve. As it turns out, my symptoms later became so uncomfortable that I decided to go to the ER three days after seeing my doctor. It was a serious blockage of a main artery to my heart, and emergency surgery was performed to put a stent in. I am lucky to have made it in time. I realize that it was my decision to not be admitted -- I guess I was in denial. I never thought to ask him if he could have given me an electrocardiogram there in his office, and some people, including my intensive-care nurse, asked why he didn’t. Because he didn’t offer to test me in his office, I am considering changing doctors. I like him and he has always given me good care in the past, so I’m not sure what to do. I feel that had he done the ECG that day, my problem could have been diagnosed much sooner and possibly prevented my heart attack. Why wouldn’t he have checked my heart function right there with the electrocardiogram? He did check my blood pressure and listen to my heart, but those seemed to be normal. Can you give me your opinion on this? I am a 64-year-old male. -- F.M. ANSWER: Without being there, I can’t give an opinion on whether your doctor should have insisted on your being admitted to the hospital, but I am printing your letter to once again emphasize that heart disease, even serious blockages, can have minimal or no symptoms. It sounds like your doctor did suspect heart disease, and I bet he now regrets not insisting that you be admitted. It’s a judgment call, and you have to consider not only the symptoms, but also the risk factors. Just being a 64-yearold man is a risk factor; if you had other risks, such as elevated blood pressure, cholesterol, a history of smoking or a family history of heart disease, that would make heart disease more likely. The electrocardiogram is not a perfect test, and although it might have been abnormal at the time, it also is possible that it could have been perfectly normal. In hindsight, I wonder if your knowing your EKG was normal would have kept you from going to the emergency room when you did. To me, this isn’t so egregious that I would suggest you find a different doctor, but only you can decide whether you still have confidence in him. READERS: Heart disease remains the No. 1 killer.

Trampled Underwood I once knew a kid whose favorite part of watching a video -- any video -- was the FBI warning screen. It was so weird an affliction that if he was out of the room making, say, microwave popcorn, he would beg us to rewind back to the screen upon his return. Apparently his dad or uncle was in the FBI or something. I was reminded of this as I watched Carrie Underwood sing the opening theme song for the Sunday Night Football game. I know this puts me in a tough spot, so before any of you Carrie Underwood fans get upset, I am not making fun of her ... just the spot she is in. To set the scene, my brother-in-law and I are sitting down, ready to watch the Cardinals lose to the Patriots. There is a brief introduction from Al Michaels, and then all of sudden, you’ve got Carrie Underwood in a sparkly cocktail dress shimmying through locker rooms, singing some peppy song, telling us there’s a game and the Cardinals and Patriots will be the participants. We didn’t even have a bet on the game (though I was insistent that New England would win), but we did have an argument about Carrie Underwood that escalated into a wager. For one thing, we didn’t know it was Carrie Underwood. I’m a country-music fan, but I’m into Loretta Lynn and Johnny Cash, so every new female country singer is Miranda Lambert as far I know. My brother-in-law disagreed. “It’s Shania Twain,” he insisted. We came to a loose agreement that it could be Taylor Swift. The words to the song start as follows: “America’s game, been waiting all day / the best of the best have come to play / the gang’s all here, let’s turn it up / it’s the NFL, can’t get enough!” I have a few issues with this seemingly innocuous beginning of what is simply supposed to be a warm welcome. For one thing, unless you are a fan of the Patriots and Cardinals or had to spend your entire day working, chances are you haven’t been waiting all day for the game. (Yes, we know you fantasy footballers have a stake in the game, too ... we know this because you won’t ever SHUT UP about your starters.) Then there’s the part about the “gang.” I don’t know if my brother-in-law and I can really constitute a “gang.” We were in fraternities in college, and I’m a member of the Optimist Club, but I can’t say I’ve ever been in a gang. Also, I can’t ever recall ever using the term to describe me and a bunch of friends. Like, when the wife calls and asks where I am, never once did I say I was with “the gang.” Anyway, Underwood is acting sassy all over the place ... in front of team buses, through men’s locker rooms, in the tunnel, on the field. She brushes past Eli Manning, who looks confused as always ... she tosses a helmet at Clay Matthews, points at a sponsor’s sign and shows us her legs before launching fireworks. I’m thinking to myself, I’d just rather be listening some more to Al Michaels or watch the cheerleaders. Who really needs this opening segment? Then my sister came in the room. “Oh, did I miss the Carrie Underwood part? Can you rewind it?” Well, I guess it beats an FBI warning. Mark Vasto is a veteran sportswriter who lives in New Jersey.

Supposedly we go to the hospital to get better. Too often, however, we come out in much worse condition than when we went in. Kaiser Health News has written a series about the impact of hospitals on seniors, and one of the articles has a frightening headline: “Elderly Hospital Patients Arrive Sick, Often Leave Disabled.” The article describes the chaos of being in the hospital, with noisy wards, interrupted sleep, strange food and germs that make patients sicker than they were. Research shows that in seniors over age 70, one-third will end up disabled even after the original illness or condition is treated. It proposes a plan of focusing on daily living skills, mobility and cognition while the seniors is in the hospital, not letting skills deteriorate. The biggest of those is mobility. Some hospitals around the country are setting up seniors-only wards, called Acute Care for Elders (ACE) wards, with staffers who are experts in taking care of the elderly. Again, mobility is the big thing, and seniors are encouraged to move around and eat in a communal dining area instead of staying in bed 24 hours a day. At this point there are only 200 such wards. Go online to khn.org/topics/aging/ and click through the various articles about seniors and hospitals. If you’re a caregiver for a senior, be sure to read through these as your senior might not come home in the same physical condition after hospitalization, and adjustments will need to be made. Check your local hospitals in advance, should you or a family member ever need to be hospitalized. Is there a seniors wing? Determine, too, if your local hospital has a geriatric emergency room. The care will be targeted toward seniors, which means better patient screening. (c) 2016 King Features Synd., Inc.

List of Camp Lejeune Illnesses May Expand The Department of Veterans Affairs is considering adding eight new presumptives to the Camp Lejeune toxic chemical-exposure list, and invites your input. This proposed rule would add eight servicerelated illnesses for those active duty, reserve and National Guard members who served at Camp Lejeune for a minimum of 30 days between Aug. 1, 1953 and Dec. 31, 1987. Those illnesses are: adult leukemia, aplastic anemia and other myelodysplastic syndromes, bladder cancer, kidney cancer, liver cancer, multiple myeloma, non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma and Parkinson’s disease. Camp Lejeune was found in the 1980s to have toxic chemicals -- such as dry cleaning fluid, benzene and vinyl chloride -- in the water supply. The Hadnot Point and Tarawa Terrace wells had been used since the 1950s, and affected tens of thousands of service personnel and their families. Veterans have suffered with Parkinson’s, multiple cancers (including kidney, breast, prostate), scleroderma, arthritis, respiratory illnesses, lymphoma, multiple myeloma and much more. The damage hasn’t been limited to those who lived at the base: Children born later have had multiple health problems, as well as serious birth defects. The VA wants to think about the additional presumptives and is setting up a 30-day comment period that will end on Oct. 10, 2016. To add your comment, go here: www. regulations.gov and put Camp Lejeune in the search box. Look for ID: VA-2016VBA-0021-0001.

The Audiology and Optometry departments will make your appointment directly. This program started as a pilot last year and was apparently successful enough that they’re bringing it to all VA medical centers by the end of 2016. (c) 2016 King Features Synd., Inc.
