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.

Wall Board Variety
New wall surfaces interest all of
us—and with the great trend toward
utilizing basements and attics for
play or utility space the manufac
turers have exercised their imagi
nation and given us all kinds of new
ideas. 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.
