HARDING'S NEW WORD

New Orleans. La. Nov 20 --Presi-
dcnt-elect Harding, In his address to
the Elks here last week. coined a new
word, which, insofar as can be deter
mined here, has never before been
used. The new work is "bloviate' or
"blowviate," but 1t will probably not he
known which is the correct spelling
until the return of the president elect
from Panama.
In describing the hind of person an
Elk Is the Senator is quoted as saying:
IAN Elk Ii person who, when
he does a good deed keeps the kuowl-
edge thereof in his own breast and
does not 'bloviate' about It."
The use OF this word is said TO have
caused many OF his auditors TO get
Gown their dictionaries, but no such
word could be found there The word
has since been referred 10 several well
known orthoEraphists. but none have
yet admitted hearing the word before.
