one way is to make it so simple that there are obviously no deficiencies, and the other way is to make it so complicated that there are no obvious deficiencies. The first method is far more difficult.”

Tackle BoxQ: I have my granddad's tackle box, which is full of older Heddon plastic

lures. Can you recommend a good price guide? I understand they have increased in recent years, and even though I have no plan to sell the ones I have, I am nevertheless curious about current values. -- Ken, Springdale, Ark.

A There are several guides, but my personal favorite is "Heddon Plastic Lures: Identification and Price Guide" by Russell E. Lewis. This excellent guide features lures from the first ones issues by the company in 1924 through the early 1980s. There are 1,500 illustrations in full-color and the values seem to reflect the current marketplace

Russell Lewis also is the author of "Classic Fishing Lures," "Fishing Col-lectibles: Rods, Reels, Creels and More" and "Heddon Catalogues: Over 50 Years of Great Fishing." If you love the sport of fishing, you are certain to get hooked on these outstanding guides.

• • •Q: I recently found an "I Like Ike" handkerchief in a thrift store that I pur-

chased for $25. I assume it is from the 1952 presidential campaign. What is it worth? -- Maryanne, Manhattan, Kan.

A: About what you paid for it. I consulted several price guides, which indi-cate the "I Like Ike" handkerchiefs generally sell in the $15 to $25 range. For comparison, the Goldwater handkerchiefs from the 1964 campaign are worth a little less, $10 to $15.

• • •Q: I have a solid-oak tea cart purchased in 1917. It is in excellent condition.

I would like to know its value. -- D.L., Sun City, Ariz.A: There are tea carts ... and there are tea carts, and it is impossible for me

to place a value on the one you have. You should consult with antiques dealers in your area. Since you are near Phoenix, there are dozens of good dealers and experts to choose from.

Father’s Day is just around the corner on June 16, and what better way for Dad to greet his day than with a platter

of pancakes the kids have monogrammed with an imprint Dad will never forget?The lettering is simple and fun to do. A few refrigerator magnet ABC’s or letters

cut out of poster board are all you need for stencils to compose a name or word on a plateful of pancakes. After kids sift powdered sugar over the letters, the reveal is the dramatic moment. But shhh! It’s a secret. Save the surprise for Dad!

Here’s my easy-to-prepare pancake recipe that wins kudos from friends and family every time I make it. Every pancake is light, fluffy and ready for fresh fruit, syrup and your favorite toppings. Grate some lemon zest into the batter for zip, or toss in some brown sugar for a sweeter taste. Any way you like it, Dad will too.

There’s a special job for each child in your family, from cracking the eggs to flip-ping the pancakes on the griddle.

Donna’s Day Hearty PancakesStep 1: In a medium bowl, one child may stir the

wet ingredients of 12 tablespoons melted butter, 1 cup sour cream and 2 cups milk.

Step 2: In a second bowl, another child can mea-sure dry ingredients in twos! Stir together 4 cups all-purpose flour, 2 teaspoons baking soda and 2 tablespoons baking powder. Add a teaspoon of salt.

Step 3: In a large third bowl, beat 8 large eggs with a whisk. Add wet ingredients and stir together. Add dry ingredients and stir until combined.

An adult should heat the pan and pour 1/4 cupfuls onto hot greased griddle. Cook the pancakes until golden brown.

For Father’s Day fun, set toy alphabet letters or stencils on each pancake to make a word, like “DAD,” and sift pow-dered sugar on top. Remove stencils and serve. Makes 30 medium-size pancakes.

Dad Will Flip Over ‘Pancakes for Pop’

• It was architect Frank Lloyd Wright who made the following sage ob-servation: “A doctor can bury his mistakes, but an architect can only advise his clients to plant vines.”

• If you take the free toiletries when you stay in a hotel, you’re not alone; fully 92 percent of travelers do so.

• What’s in a name? A great deal, it turns out, if you’re talking about housing prices. Those who study such things say that a house on a “boulevard” is valued at over one-third more than the same house that has “street” in its address.

• Before the 1976 film “Star Wars” was released, the studio, Twenti-eth Century Fox, conducted some marketing research on the movie. The results? It was concluded that robots would turn off most viewers, and that under no circumstances should the word “war” be used in the title. Obviously, filmmaker George Lucas ignored the advice.

United States Flag Folding Procedure1. Begin by holding it waist-high with another cadet so that its surface is parallel to the ground. The other two cadets will stand on the sides of the flag to ensure it remains tight as it is folded. The flag-bearer will hold the Union (stars) in his/her left hand. The flag is “tabled” twice before folding.2. Fold the lower half of the stripe section lengthwise over the field of stars, holding the bottom and top edges securely.3. Fold the flag again lengthwise with the blue field on the outside.4. Make a triangular fold by bringing the striped corner of the folded edge to meet the open (top) edge of the flag. The folding is done from the folder’s right to left on the initial fold.5. Turn the outer (end) point inward, parallel to the open edge, to form a second triangle.6. The triangular folding is continued until the entire length of the flag is folded in this manner.7. When the flag is completely folded, only a triangular blue field of stars should be visible.

• When the flag is displayed over the middle of the street, it should be suspended vertically with the union to the north in an east and west street or to the east in a north and south street.• The flag of the United States of America, when it is displayed with another flag against a wall from crossed staffs, should be on the right, the flag’s own right [that means the viewer’s left --Webmaster], and its staff should be in front of the staff of the other flag.• The flag, when flown at half-staff, should be first hoisted to the peak for an instant and then lowered to the half-staff position. The flag should be again raised to the peak before it is lowered for the day. By “half-staff” is meant lowering the flag to one-half the distance between the top and bottom of the staff. Crepe streamers may be affixed to spear heads or flagstaffs in a parade only by order of the President of the United States.• When the flag is suspended over a sidewalk from a rope extending from a house to a pole at the edge of the sidewalk, the flag should be hoisted out, union first, from the building.• When the flag is displayed in a manner other than by being flown from a staff, it should be displayed flat, whether indoors or out. When displayed either horizontally or vertically against a wall, the union should be uppermost and to the flag’s own right, that is, to the observer’s left. When displayed in a window it should be displayed in the same way, that is with the union or blue field to the left of the observer in the street. When festoons, rosettes or drapings are desired, bunting of blue, white and red should be used, but never the flag.• That the flag, when carried in a procession with another flag, or flags, should be either on the marching right; that is, the flag’s own right, or, if there is a line of other flags, in front of the center of that line.• The flag of the United States of America should be at the center and at the highest point of the group when a number of flags of States or localities or pennants of societies are grouped and displayed from staffs.• When displayed from a staff in a church or public auditorium on or off a podium, the flag of the United States of America should hold the position of superior prominence, in advance of the audience, and in the position of honor at the clergyman’s or speaker’s right as he faces the audience. Any other flag so displayed should be placed on the left of the clergyman or speaker (to the right of the audience).• When the flag is displayed on a car, the staff shall be fixed firmly to the chassis or clamped to the right fender.• When hung in a window where it is viewed from the street, place the union at the head and over the left shoulder.

Puzzle AnswersTO YOUR GOOD HEALTHBy Paul G. Donohue, M.D.

DEAR DR. DONOHUE: I have pseudogout. It's hard for me to explain to people, so I either tell them I have gout or I don't tell them anything.

Will you do me a favor and explain it in the pa-per? I'll cut it out, carry it with me and give it to people who ask what I have. Thanks. -- D.K.

ANSWER: "Pseudo" is the Greek word for "false." Pseudogout is false gout, an illness that looks a lot like gout but really isn't related to it.

With gout, blood uric-acid level rises. Crystals of uric acid deposit in joints and give rise to gout pain. With pseudogout, the crystals that invade joints and the tissues around joints are calcium pyrophosphate. What causes the rise of these crys-tals isn't known. It's not diet. The first attack of gout usually involves the base of the big toe. With pseudogout, it's the knee. The pain of pseudogout is not false; it's quite real. Both crystals target other joints as time passes.

Even though these two are different processes, treatment is similar. Nonsteroidal anti-inflam-matory drugs are used for acute attacks of both, medicines like Indocin and Motrin. Colchicine, another gout medicine, is also used for an acute, painful attack of pseudogout. As in gout, cortisone injection of an inflamed joint reliably suppresses joint pain. The standard treatment of inflamed joints -- ice packs and immobilization -- are part of treatment for both illnesses.

Unlike gout, pseudogout doesn't have as many medicines for the prevention of attacks. Colchicine can be taken on a daily basis to ward off attacks. However, should this illness develop into a chronic illness, medicines like methotrexate and hydroxy-chloroquine are often prescribed.

The booklet on gout and pseudogout provides answers to other questions on these illnesses. Readers can obtain a copy by writing: Dr. Donohue -- No. 302W, Box 536475, Orlando, FL 32853-6475.

Pseudogout Is Gout's Distant Relative


• On June 21, 1916, the controversial U.S. military expedition against Mexican revolutionary Pancho Villa brings the United States and Mexico closer to war when Mexican government troops attack U.S. Gen. John J. Pershing’s force at Carrizal, Mexico. The Americans suffered 22 casualties, and more than 30 Mexicans were killed.

• On June 22, 1937, Joe Louis wins the world heavyweight box-ing title when he defeats American Jim Braddock in an eighth-round knockout. Louis was the first black heavyweight champ since Jack Johnson, who lost the title in 1915.

• On June 20, 1947, Benjamin “Bugsy” Siegel, the man who brought organized crime to the West Coast, is shot and killed. In 1945, Siegel had built the Flamingo Hotel in the middle of the desert, in what would become Las Vegas, with $6 million of the mob’s money. When the hotel wasn’t immediately profitable, he couldn’t pay the money back on time.

Today, free agency is as much a part of baseball as Cracker Jack and hot dogs.

• On June 23, 1992, Mafia boss John Gotti, nicknamed the “Tef-lon Don,” is sentenced to life in prison. Moments after sentenc-ing, hundreds of Gotti’s supporters stormed federal courthouse in Brooklyn and overturned and smashed cars before being forced back by police reinforcements.
