THE WORD HooDLUM.

Many new words have apparently
come to stay during the last quarter
century; among them the word hood
Ium'' has acquired common usage The
Housekeeper prints an interesting bit
on the origin Of this word.
Several explanations have been given
TO account for the formation OF this
word, which plainly has not etymOlog-
fcal parentage. A California paper had
this story about II: In the 70s there
was a gang OF young toughs in San
Francisco who perpetrated many afro
cices acts under the leadership OF
youth named MuldoOn. An editor writ
Ing about this gang called its members
the "noodlums." reversing the name OF
the leader But his penmanship being
imperfect. the composItor read II for n,
and set the word up "hooGlums." The
word struck the fancy Of the public,
and soon became generally used. An
other story is that a gang OF young
rowdies had a warning cry 'Huddle-
en- from which the name ''huddle-
ems or hoomlums was given them
Still another explanation is that such
a gang adopted as a head covering a
folded soft hat which ref embled a hood,
and vet another that the gang was heed
ed by some depraved girl. wearing
hoods The first explanation Is as prob
able as any other; nothing is certain
save that the name originated in San
