Q: I began collecting turn-of-the-century souvenir tumblers several years ago. I now have about three dozen pieces and wonder if they will ever increase in value. They seem to sell in the $10 to $25 range, the same as when I first began collecting. -- Paula, Wheat-ridge, Colorado

A husband was engrossed in a magazine while his wife was reading the newspaper.

Suddenly, she burst out laughing. "Get this," she said. "Some guy put an ad in here offering to swap

his wife for a season ticket to the stadium." "Hmmmmm," her husband mumbled, still en-

grossed in his magazine. Wanting to test him, she asked, "Would you swap

me for a season ticket?" "Absolutely not!" he said. "That's so sweet," she

replied. "Tell me why not." "Heck, the season's more than half over!" he said.

• It was American poet Ella Wheeler Wilcox who made the following sage observation: “To sin by silence when they should protest makes cowards of men.”

• During the Victorian era, a well-dressed gentleman was never outdoors without a hat, and most had different hats for different occasions. Of course, the cost of such haber-dashery could mount significantly, so one enterprising Brit-ish soul registered a design (which was much less expensive than registering a patent) for a “duplex hat” -- an elaborate contraption that, by means of hidden springs, could convert from a top hat to a bowler hat to suit the circumstances.

• Before you ink yourself, you might want to consider this: The cost of removing an unwanted tattoo can be up to 10 times as much as it cost to get the tattoo in the first place.

• If you’re like the average American parent, your kids get $3.40 from the tooth fairy for each tooth lost.

• You’ve doubtless heard of peak oil -- that theoretical point at which the global production of oil reaches its maxi-mum output, after which production gradually declines de-cline -- but what about peak poultry? Those who study such things say that the world hit its peak production of chicken for human consumption in 2006.

• The first canned meat product, known as Hormel Spiced Ham, was developed in 1937. Several imitators followed, and the executives at the Hormel Company, concerned about the new competition, decided to have a competition to rename the product. The winner, Broadway actor Kenneth Daigneau (and brother to the company’s vice president), won $100 for the winning entry: Spam.

COLLECTING continued from page 1

cording to “Glass A to Z” by David Shotwell, this type of glass is achieved when a thin layer of glass --- usually colored --- is applied over one that is clear or lightly tinted. The process involves dipping the object into mol-ten glass, a process quite different from that of making cased or overlay glass, which requires a thicker layer.

Most of the pieces I’ve seen are either amber or ruby color, and as you indicated, almost all have been sou-venir pieces. In my personal collection, I have a small toothpick holder in ruby glass that has the inscription “From Cora and Clem ... World’s Fair 1904.” This is fairly typical. Since it is a World’s Fair item, it might be worth a little more than many of the others I’ve seen in shop and at antiques malls.

• • •Q: A number of years ago, my husband took me to

London to celebrate our anniversary. During that trip, we saw “Miss Saigon” at the Theatre Royal Drury Lane. It was one of the most thrilling nights of my life. I would like to find one of the posters from that production. Can you help me? -- Barbara, Rochester, New York

A: “Dress Circle” was the go-to shop for memorabilia concerning London theatrical productions. It closed in February 2013, but the company continues to do busi-ness online. I checked its website and found a “Miss Saigon” poster for about $12. Contact is [email protected], and http://www.dresscircle.com.


DEAR PAW’S CORNER: I’ve always wanted to own a dog, but financially I just don’t feel I can afford one right now. It makes me feel guilty that I can’t just adopt a dog and care for it. Should I really feel this bad? -- Harry in Trenton, New Jersey

DEAR HARRY: I think you’re taking a very responsible attitude toward pet ownership. Instead of running out and getting a dog, you sat back and asked yourself if you could afford it. And that’s important, along with questions like, do you have the time to spend with a dog, is your family or roommate in agreement about owning a pet, and are you allowed to keep one in your apartment.

But you can help make the world a better place even if you aren’t able to keep a pet. I encourage you to contact a local shelter to see if it accepts volunteers. Many need unpaid volunteers to help with a variety of tasks, from paperwork to cleaning cages and play areas.

Some have enough people on site to handle all the work, so don’t be too disappointed if you’re not needed. Look for other opportuni-ties instead.

Sign up for classes that train you how to care for pets in a shelter. Research pet charities, and give a small percentage of your paycheck to one.

Or, if you can’t spare even a couple of dollars a month, become a fundraiser ... from phone campaigns to waggy walks, you can help a pet-care organization raise thousands of dollars. Cash is what many shelters des-perately need to keep caring for abandoned pets.

Send your questions or tips to [email protected].

• Do you have a screw loose ... in your eyeglasses? This is an easy fix. Paint the screw with a dab of clear nail polish and quickly re-screw. It works like glue. Dab the top of the screw for a little extra insurance.

• “Snow will better slide off a shovel that has been sprayed with furniture pol-ish.” -- T.L. in Minnesota

• Here’s an old tip, but a good one: Before go-ing away on vacation, put a couple of ice cubes in a plastic baggie, and set it at the front of the freezer. When you return, if there is any evidence of melt-ing, you will know you lost power while you were gone. If the bag is one big, flat cube, you lost power long enough to suspect all your refrigerator items of being spoiled.

• To temporarily get a winter frost effect on a win-dow, use this fun recipe: Dissolve 4 to 6 tablespoons of Epsom salts in a beer. When the salt is dissolved, dip a clean rag in the mix-ture and wipe it on your window pane. As it dries, crystals will form, creat-ing a frost effect. This is a great solution for a window you don’t want to be clear but also don’t want to per-manently alter. The effect washes off with soap and water.

• “If you get a residue inside your coffee cups when they go through the dishwasher, it might be time to give your machine a once-over. In the meantime, spray the insides of the cof-

fee cups with a bleach-based cleaner like 409 just before your turn it on. That should help.” -- E.T. in Michigan

• Cut your kitchen sponge in half, or even thirds. You can clean just as well with a smaller sponge, and you will extend its life, saving you money. A smaller sponge dries out more quickly, too.

• On March 5, 1839, Char-lotte Bronte writes to the Rev. Henry Nussey, declining mar-riage. The 23-year-old Bronte

• On March 3, 1865, President Abraham Lincoln signs a bill cre-ating the Bureau of Refugees, Freedmen and Abandoned Lands. Known as the Freedmen’s Bureau, this federal agency oversaw the transition of blacks from slavery to freedom.

• On March 4, 1888, Knute Rockne is born in Voss, Norway. He would go on to become one of the most successful coaches in the history of college football, leading Notre Dame during its golden era in the 1920s. Rockne won three undisputed national championships with the Fighting Irish.

• On March 7, 1938, Janet Guthrie, the first woman to com-pete in the Indianapolis 500 and Daytona 500 races, is born in Iowa. In 1976, she was the first woman to compete in a NA-SCAR Winston Cup superspeed-way race.

• On March 8, 1982, the United States issues a public statement accusing the Soviet Union of using poison gas and chemical weap-ons against rebel forces in Afghanistan.
