Just how does word break into the New
Words Section? It's all logical process in
volving large staff of researchers who take
sample readings of every type of literature
in the nation - from leading newspapers and
textbooks right down to mail-order cata-
logues and streetcar transfers Every time
they run across a word that is not already
listed in Webster's they make out citation
card, including source. date and how it was
used. The citation cards are filed at the
Merriam Webster Offices in Springfield, Mass.
When a word piles up enough citations
from reputable sources, it becomes
candidate for the New Words Section.
For instance, let's take an imaginary word,
some improbable word like "smilch." And
let's trace it through the stages whereby it
might get into Webster's Dictionary:
MIR. n. M. Jones, office manager of large
Evening star., 1946-12-01

The subcommittee finally reports that
"smilch" is merely corruption of the word
fitch" and does not add enough new shade
of meaning to be of genuine value.
Smilch" is now brought up before gen.
eral panel of editors who review the evidence.
The committees point is well made, they
agree, but in the end there is simply no deny
ing "smilch" - it has too many citations
from important sources.
So ''smilch" wins out. Exhausted but
happy, it lands in the New Words Section.
And the chances are nine -to-one that it will
finally get into the dictionary proper and
become an honest part of the language
coosol and coosol-plex
HE funny thing about all this is that the
word "snilch, which we are using as mere
illustration, is perhaps being recorded in
Springfield right now by a wide-awake re-
searcher. There is citation card being
entered in the files, reading 'tSmilch: This
Week, Dec. l, 49,
The case of "smilch" may seem fantastic,
but many words have been born under much
the same circumstances. A recent example
is "googol," which is not yet in the New
Words Section but undoubtedly will be as
soon as the next revision is made "Googol'
is perfectly serious mathematical term
meaning the figure ''1' followed by hundred
ciphers. Its origin was not 50 serious though.
Evening star., 1946-12-01

ton. Since then it has been adopted by other
eminent mathematicians and physicists, and
the citations in Springfield have piled up.
There is also derivative, 'tgoogol-plex,"
which is lot larger than a googol, but we
won't 60 into that
When googol finally appears in the die
tionary, Dr. Kasner win receive mention
for coming the word Though the credit
might more properly 60 to his little nephew.
Having your name in Webster's is an
honor which comes to a very small and
oddly assorted group. In the New Words
Section you will find a mention of David
Low, the British cartoonist, who created the
word ''blimp" in the sense of Colonel Blimp.
Botanist Ralph Boysen is cited for 'boysen-
berry," former baseball player, Carl Hub
bell, is credited with "screwball," originally
a kind of baseball pitch and now word for
an eccentric or fanatic; a nut"
Tracing wBoondogg3e"
AUTHOR James Hilton is cited for "Shangi-
La" The word "quisling" is, of course, cred
tied to its Infamous prototype.
Sister Kenny is mentioned for the phrase
Kenny method." " "Boondoggle" is traced to
Robert H. Link, scoutmaster in Rochester,
NJ Y, who originally applied it to the vari-
colored leather lanyards that his scout troop
made in their handicraft sessions. Politicians
adopted the word as term for useless or
wasteful public project.
Bob Burns is in New Words, too. The
origin of the rocket-6ring weapon, 'bazooka,"
is explained thus: prob. from faneied resen-
blance to the sound coutrabtion used BY Bob

"smilch" starts its career in the files of Web

'Smilch" is lucky. 1t gets into an article in
The Atlantic Monthly and also national
advertisement which warns, Don't be a

called "Smitty the Smilcher."
The card-fle citations are piling up in
Springfield. ''Smlch's" chances of becoming
word are beginning to look rosy But there
are still hurdles. At an editorial meeting,
the evidence for ''smilch" is laid out on
a long mahogany table. There is good
deal of pro and con about "smilch," and
finally it is referred to subcommittee of edi-
tors. Dictionary people are ruled by consider
atoms of space, and if they allow 'smilch"
place in the dictionary, they will have to leave
out some other word which might prove more
valuable to the language in the long run.

Would you mind settling a bet
for us?" asks the voice on the
telephone, and the sportswriter
knows he is in for a puzzler that
probably would stump Solomon
himself. Often the bane of
sports departments existence,
fans questions nevertheless
usually are informative and
sometimes downright comic.
There was, for example, the
recent inquiry as to Billy Conn's
weight when he fought Joe Lewis
four years ago. A sizable wager
was at stake for this one and we
went to some pains to look it up.
1t wasn't as simple as it sounds.
The official weigh-in figure for
Conn was given as 174 pounds,
but in reports of the fight itself
a figure of INV was mentioned.
We asked the inquirer for a bit
more time and got in touch with
a source in New York.
Here's the report we received
and it comes from an authority
whose integrity cannot be ques-
tinued. BILLY actually weighed
but 1859 pounds against Louis"
our man reports. "At the weigh
In, Conn's handlers knew he was
short of his advertised poundage
and rushed him across the scales
without balancing the bar. A by
stander said '174' and that's the
way it went into the books"
Then there was the bettor who
wanted the name of the first
boxer to 60 10 rounds with Louis.

umphed over 169 other contestants

score of 33-474, but also took the
12th annual Dutch Sherbahn cham
pionship with 51-965 at Takoma
from a record field of 81.
But as tickled today as Buckner
was Eddie Goldberg, proprietor of
the Clarendon drives. From the
hearty response by the pinfolk of
this area to his call to aid the family
OF the late Clarendon pinspiller,
Goldberg hopes to raise a sum of
approximately $400. Any number of
bowlers contributed to the fund
without competing in the tourna-
ment.
Dietz was fatally stricken with in
1antlle paralysis six weeks ago. The
disease struck his family again when
his daughter, Shirley, II, was taken

his extra shot.
