to sex, in view of the fact that there
was no such word in existence as
.yeowoman." When President Wilson
mad occasion to write something on
the subject he referred to the ''yeo-
women, and thereupon stirred up
some interest.
The style room Of the government
printing office was consulted, and after
consideration the stylists ruled that
the new word complied with neoter-
istic canons in supplying an ante
cedent blank (or rather I'M being an
Improvement on word already ex-
isting), obeying analogy and being
euphonfous." The word was recorded
in the printery's list of new words
brought into good usage by war con-
ditions," and thus obtained official
governmental sanction.
The dictionary, however, gives it no
recognition, recording only the form
"yeoman" for both men and women
in the service. Some of the chiefs in
the Navy Department cling to the
dictionary form, but most of them use
"yeowoman" when the reference is to
q woman in the yeoman service.
That everything spoken and writ :
ten by the President is closely studied
by the ablest photographers and style
recorders in the country is plainly
evidenced by the latest editions to
scholarly literature. In Washington.

schools, the messages and writings of
