He lNvENTs WORDS.

This Man Finds Terms to Fit Emersen-
eies For the Dictionaries.
There are in the world many un-
usual and unique occupations, but per-
haps the strangest of all which pays a
good income Is that Of New York
newspaper man who earns, in addition
to his regular salary from the paper,
rather regular amounts from the pub
fishers of dictionaries, encyclopedias
and other such volumes. His occupa-
tion is the inventing Of new words.
The casual observer would be in
clined to remark that the English lam
guage already possesses enough words
for all uses without the invention Of
any new ones, and probably his state
ment would be fact. Nevertheless 1t Is
true that this man is paid substantial
sums for inventing new words to ht
special phases, situations, occupations
and occurrences, and that the publish
ers Of dictionaries will incorporate into
them any new word based on substan-
tial derivatives for the existence OF
which a plausible reason can be made.
The progress of modern business, and
especially the discoveries that have
been made in the fields of electricity
and medicine in the last decade, have
been responsible for the incorporation
into the language Of many new words.

Abandon Food Preiudices.

O. Don't be finicly. Be willing to try
new foods. Certain plentiful and nour-
ishing foods widely used and enjoyed
in one section are practically unknown
in other sections of the country. Learn
to know all the good things, not few
only.
People too easily get into food ruts;
insist Gil eating only the food they are
used to and refuse to give fair trial
to others. This causes undue demand
for certain staples, with resulting
scarcity or high prices when crops are
short At the same time other valuable
foods may be relatively cheap and
available. A striking instance of this
is failure fully to appreciate rice-a
valuable source of starch-when pota-
toes are scarce and high. Another ex-
ample is refusal in certain sections to
use anything but wheat as a bread
stuff, when corn-a valuable cereal
widely used elsewhere as breadstuff
is plentiful and relatively cheap

Taken to task by a Portland attorney
for giving preferential front page
space to an associated Press report of
the Presidents address, and the exclu-
sion of the address proper from that
page to one on the inside of the paper,
the Portland Oregonian replies that
it is mot printed to suit the whimsies
of fincky readers. Which, in light Of
the fact that all other papers gave the
message front page Importance. leads
us to conjecture that the Oregonian
may feel that its front page is of Sec
ondary Importance, anyhow.
