THE WORD HUNTER.
Insuiar Research IN Noa chan wcbstcrlan
.JungIes.

To THE EDITOR or THE SUN--Sir: Mr.
Borden II Smith complains in THE Sun
that the words "irrecusable" and "lgnf-
crous,' recently employed in Sun edi-
torial article with reference to the va
carries of the income tax receipts and in
cldcntally to Seer tary McAdoo. are not
to be found in Webster. Further while
lamenting that Thu sun should coin such
locutions when there ARE other words ito
express our true meaning" he inquiries
what these alleged countcrfeits mean.
Your correspondent was unfortunate or
negligent In his search of Webster. Both
words are to be found In Wobster's Inter-
national Dictionary OF 1909, and In Web
ster's Royal Octave OF lSi7. which chance
to bo the only editions of this loXicog-
raphcr to which 7 have access.
As to the meaning OF "irrecusable' II
Will therefore be necessary only to ask
Mr.. Smith to search again. lie will
then, II he Is fairly diligont. learn that
no Other word in the English language
exactly defines the meaning of this bit
Of sound lingual currency. "lrrccusable"
means mot liable to rejection and was
nicely used In tho exception referred to
The guess Is become an irrecurablc fact
in the official mind"
As for "igniferous" Nc Smith has
surely OWNED tho Specification of this
term even II he has less Latin than that
possessed additionally. by the bard who
rests juXtaposited to the banks of the
assuasive Avon although the ignipotence
prediCated of Secretary MCAdoo by THE
Sun Is perhaps ascribablo 90 an inconse-
quent illation from conception con-
sCiously pseudodoN.

To THE EDITOR or TirE SUS-Sr: Mid

from the opposite direction slipped on

seen this horse approaching, had gagged
It's speed. and had figured that. though
tho space between us would he small, I
could pass I'm front which I had set out

Music aud Drama.

New York's eagerness to support tho
best in music by subscribing for all
the seats In Carnegie Hail before the
Boston symphony Orchestra begins its
concerts is only one evidence Of the
public attitude in the case Of this art.
Carnegie Hall Is yawnlnG cavern
with about one thousand seats on its
first door. but it Is repeatedly packed
during the musical season. The seats
at the Metropolitan Opera House are
sold to q degree that leaves only a few
undesirable places for outsiders. Many
thousands of dollars are yearly spent
by New Workers on music.
And the theatre? What Is the equiv.
alent of this support of the drama
New York generously maintains half
a hundred playhouses. more or less
but the case is not the same. The con
certs Mt Carnegie Hall as we'll as the
performances at the Metropolitan Opera
House represent degree OF achieve
ment in their art that few theatrical
performances attain. Tho music low
