Word Coining Ability Enriches Language American word-making ingenuity, which has taken delight in such mouth-filling words as “ absquatu late” and “ gerrymander,” is fully as inventive in changing and adapt ing the shorter Anglo-Saxon words such as “ go” and “get,” it is dis closed in the ninth section of the new American English dictionary. A “go,” meaning a success, dates back to 1876, according to the dic tionary. Sothern, in his J. F. Daly, wrote at that time, “I hear your play is a ‘great go.' ” The prize fight word gave “ go” another mean ing, of “ an encounter,” when in 1896 the American humorist George Ade spoke of putting on "a six-round go.” « The Knickerbocker Magazine, an early literary publication, is credit ed with a further twist to the mean ing of the word. In 1838 a writer made the accusation, “You have perjured yourself from the word go,” adding the Biblical allusion, “You have equivocated from Dan to Beersheba." The great American indoor sport of poker, while it may have impov erished its devotees, has enriched the American language in this con nection. Among the dictionary’s citations of its use are “My adver sary went the dollar, and five bet ter” ; and “to go blind,” meaning to bet a hand without looking at the cards. “ Get” has taken on a variety of meanings in the vigorous vocabu lary of the American people, the dictionary reveals. “ Get” or “ git,” meaning to depart, frequently oc curs, as in the expression, from Mark Twain, “Then he says, ‘one- two-three-git’!” A further sense, of “comprehend ing an idea or person,” is a recent development, the scholars reveal. In 1907 M. C. Harris, in “Tents of Wickedness,” reports his character murmuring, “I don’t get her.” Scientific Palm Readings Reveal Interesting Traits There is a scientific study of the palms, a true scientific study, as opposed to the fortune-telling palm istry we have all heard of. To a shrewd observer, examination of a m an’s hands will tell a good deal about his occupation and past his tory. The pianist’s hands, for example, are fine and delicate, but strong and flexible. The fingertips are all flat tened and the spread and power of the little finger is a distinctive trait. An individual type, resembled only by the hands of a typist. The very famous “surgeon’s hands” bear no tool mark, but gen erally look dry and dull, because of frequent “scrubbing” in strong anti septics. The shoemaker’s hands show the most wear. Gnarled, broadened and very distinctive. The index finger, also, although often as broad as the thumb at the base, tapers to a rounded point—from picking up nails. The left hand does not show these characteristics as much as the right. The locomotive engineer has his left hand more developed than his right. Also his little finger is de veloped in strength out of all propor tion. Thumb base is flattened, from pressure on the throttle. And a powerful wrist. The left index finger betrays the tailor. And so does some charac teristic, for every man who works with his hands, betrays his occupa tion to the man who knows where to look for the signs.

Wallboard is not new. Va rious kinds under many names have been on the market for years. It comes in sheets of different sizes, and its only drawback has been that it must be stripped with battens, which made a monotonous wall dec oration. Now it can be bought in panels of interesting size and de sign. Molding strips and applied decoration may be used and newest of all are the bent panels which com bined with the straight panel make a striking composition. These curved sections can be used in a great va riety of ways and are joined to flat panels by an ingenious plaster coupling. 1940 Genuine Frigidaire— Big 8 Cu. Ft.
