ARCH|V|STS COIN
WORD FOR FIELD
"Archivy" Invented to Tell
of Activity-Seek Uni
form Pronunciation.

In existence only six months, the
Society Of American Archivists. which
ended two-day session here yester.
day, broke record by holding its first
annual meeting before its first yea,
was over, contributed two OUTSTANDING
achievements to its own sphere OF sci
ence. and added new word to the
language.
The word is archivy.
A noun, archivy means "the field
in which the archivist works" Pre-
viously, the noun archives had COW
cred everything pertaining to the pres
ervation Of documents, especially those
OF historic interest.
Only one adjective, archival. was
employed.
So the archivist was mighty limited
IN his world for word descriptive of
1t, until archivy came along. It was
born, by accident, yesterday as the
archivists were leaving town.
This meeting" one of them said
is the beginning OF a new era for
archivy. ="
Immediately, all who heard the word
pounced on it-and took it into the
fold. In the excitement, no one could
name the author.
AS to the other achievements. the
archivists learned who they are. as
told to them by members of their own
procession, and why they are archi-
visits
Next, they learned how to pronounce
the word-archivists.
up to the meeting Yesterday
American archivists were divided into
TWO schools Of pronunciation:
one school called themselves ar
chi-vists. They slurred the first svl.
liable, put the accent on the second
pronounced the "f' rs In Die. and
swallowed the last syllable, 50 it was
scarcely discernable.
Ihe second school, rather fancv-
nke called themselves arch-i-yists
With a punch on the first SYLLABLE
arch was pronounced like the word
ark. The middle Il" became a long
e. The last syllable, visits, came like
the bursting Of a steam boiler-with
a long kissing sound. the sibilant
sound Of the SEES.
According the James Preston as
sStant administrative secretary OF the
National Archives, all the archivists
VINO belong to the society will labor
toward universal pronunciation of
the word.
One of the most forceful speakers
OF the two-day session, whenever he
USED the word archivists, made a noise
llke the little ship. Maid of the
Msts, that chugs and churns in the
waters beneath the Bridal Veil at
Niagara Falls.
Now the IA members who attended
the frst annual meeting Of the
society OF American Archivists will
get together on one pronunciation,

vide Some Aid-Employment
Center Cites Gains.

The District has been forced tc
abandon the care of 9O9 cases of the
employable destitute because the spe-
cial allotment Of $4,000 for their aid
during June already has been exhaust
ed, Welfare Director Elwood Street
announced yesterday. He described
the 3,4l4 persons represented by the
909 cases as being in dire need"
No relief Is now available for the
employables from public funds, since
the regular District relief appropria-
tion for this year was not sufficiently
large to care for them and the unem-
playable persons and since these cases
cannot be shifted to the work-reliet
program. 1t was explained.
The pending 1898 District budget
likewise makes no provision for the
employable persons or their depend
ents.
Street made public the May report
OF the public assistance division, in
which Miss NJ Alice Hill, director,
said the 909 cases were given aid on
an extraordinarily thin" basis due
to the fact that only $4,000 was avail
able for the purpose.
Average Allotment Reduced.
Even so, her report revealed that
the average allotment for the unem-
ployables for May had to be reduced
because OF the inclusion OF the en-
ployable cases. The average of $2498
per case for April was cut to $22.58
ner case last month
II 1t had not been for this aid given
to employables during the latter part
OF April, all Of May and the first part
of June, the number of cases receiving
general relief from the public as
sistance division would have shown a
decline. Eliminating the employable
cases, the unemployable cases which
received relief during March totaled
1852; April. 1917; May, 3,095.
The total number Of cases which
received public assistance during May
amounted to 1925, comprising 1912
persons. Because of the assistance
given to employable cases, this repre-
sented an increase Of 379 cases or
635 persons over the April period.
Increases In Assistance.

types Of public assistance. which are

Six fortunate Times-H e. alc

On Board s. S. Manhattan,
July 16, 1887.
Dear Editor:
"Our second day aboard the
s. s. Manhattan and everyone
Is enjoying himself fully. The
meals aboard are excellent and
everyone has all he wishes to eat.
Mr.. Editor, believe if you were
here and had . taste Of our
wonderful breakfasts, lunches
and dinners, you would not want
to leave them very quick.
TOUGH LIFE"
To-day has been awfully hard
on us fellows. We got up late for
the first time. l suppose yester'
day was too strenuous for our
weak bodies. Well, after eating
a hearty breakfast q few Of the
fellows washed out some socks
and handkerchiefS. We really
are savers on our clothes.
"'Buck' seems to be the sleepy
fellow of our crowd, because after
breakfast he retired for a nap.
The rest Of us do not sleep very
much even when summing on
deck where our chairs are To-
Gated. As usual we exerted every
bit of our energy playing ping
pong, swimming, playing shuttle
board and have games Of
checkers. We are thinking Of
having a checker tournament.
"Our problem of upper and
lower berthS was settled very
easily. All we did was to alter
nate each night.
MOVIES ON SHIP
"This afternoon, following a
delicious lunch, a Mickey Mouse
comedy and Mickey Rooney in
'HoOsier SchoOlbOy'' were shown
in the lounge. From now on
movies will be shown every day.
This evening we played bingO
in the lounge, and even though
every one participated in the
game no one won very much.
Following bingO, there was dane
ing. The orchestra played very
well. =
"Well, 1t is about time to go
to bed, but 1 wish you could see
the moonlight over the ocean
with the stars and black night
forming the glittering back
ground. It is really beautiful.
