It Happened Last Night

By Earl Wilson

T NEW YORK, Mar, 26—New York City has

at last become a small town. Frank Costello, Bill O'Dwyer, Virginia Hill— and television—changed it. For a week, “The Costello Story,” subtitled “Guys & Molls,” has made us New Yorkers as gossipy. as villagers. Small-towners whispering about the preacher necking the choir singer out behind the church have had nothing on us—and we've never had so much fun in our lives! There's an old wheeze, “You don’t see much in a small town, but what you hear makes up for it.” But in the small town of New York, we've both seen and heard the Costello story. And so, as in a small town, we've come to know ‘the main characters. And let me tell the N'Yorkers who've never lived in a small town— LI A SMALL TOWN has juicy things happening to folks you know (on a jo * smaller scale, of Sourse). all the time! What is a small town, anyhow? It's a place where a to- . mato is a vegetable. And where a blonde often is. At a party in a small town vou always have your choice * of two cocktails: fruit-and seafood. & We've gossiped lots about Virginia Hill, the gal who could pay $5 for a drink and always say “keep the change.” She was a walking bank for racket guys. j She was a courier, a mes- § genger. But a smart one. She kept a written record of all her “assignments.” When “the boys’.thought of drooping her, they remembered it might be embarrassing because she'd leave behind a _ complete record of the little

Where, when you see a girl dancing with a . man old enough to be her father, he is. Where couples go to the cemetery on dates because it's the only place open at nights.

Americanisms By United Press

CHICAGO, Mar. 26—For half a C-note you can get the dope today about graft, knockout drops, or Gilda Gray’s shimmy. In other words, you can buy for $50 a “Dictionary of Americanisms” that traces the origin of and defines words coined in such American places as the baseball dugout, corner saloon, poolroom and halls of Congress. Publication of the two-volume edition was announced today by the University of Chicago. Language sleuth Mitford M. Mathews spent six years gathering the 50,000 “Americanisms” contained in the two volumes. ob “O-NOTE” to describe one hundred doHars, first was used in spirit of the times in 1839. “Dope,” first was used as a synonym for information in 1901. “Graft,” meaning money obtained by dishonest means, first appeared in the Police Gazette of 1865. “Knockout Drops,” defined as a powerful stupefying drug slipped into someone's drink preparatory to robbing him, was used in 1896 by a New York writer. oo BH DANCER Gilda Gray did not introduce the word “shimmy,” but is credited with helping make it an Americanism. The dictionary defined the word as a “formerly popular jazz dance somewhat like the fox trot accompanied by simulated shivering.” The word first was used by the New York : Sun in, 1919. “Commie,” “Red,” and “Iron Curtain” are not Americanisms. ! Many entries were coined in frontier days— * like “coonskin cap,” and “log cabin.” Some came from politics—“filibuster” and “ward heeler” for example. Others came from Americ an inventions, such as “zipper” and “yo-yo.’ The dictionary shows how. Americans make new words out of old ones. From “reconstruct” they got “reconstructionist.” They evolved ‘“nul-

Other typical American contributions to the English language are “highfalutin,” “G-Man,” “draftee,” “dude ranch,” “cover charge,” “ticker tape,” “AWOL,” “checking account,” *“firecracker,” “bobsled,” “taffy-pull,” “lunch,” “nickelodeon,” inflation,” and *‘third-termer.” To establish that an English word was first American, Mathews went through countless books, newspapers, medical journals, government records and mail order catalogues. We a AN EARLY sample of the word “shimmy,” reprinted in the dictionary, comes from Percy Marks’ “The Plastic Age.” “That “music was enough to make a saint shed his halo and shake the shimmy.” The first printing of “razzle-dazzle’” which Mathews found was from an 1889 issue of the Gallup (N. M.) Gleaner: “A Kansas paper recently told of a ‘regular old razooper, who, having got a skate on, indulged in a glorious razzie dazzle.’ ” Oliver Wendell Holmes was the first to mention in print, the “swivel chair,” according to the dictionary. In his “Professor,” published 1860 by the Atlantic Monthly, Mr. Holmes says: “The swivel chair spins around with me as if it were giddy with pleasure.” <Q o. & 'H ONE SAMPLE publication of the Americanism ‘sob sister” appeared in a 1912 issue of the Saturday Evening Post. “Of the Daily Blatt's seven sob sisters six had husbands,” it said. “And of the six it was more or less pure coincidence that five were supported by their wives.”

He had no, difficulty in selling his suburban residence of 10 or,

Feather beds were rolled up

{and tied together in such a way that one would rest on each side of the horse, forming a platform on the back of the animal, where one or two children could ride. My mother and grandmother were provided with single horses and side saddles. When the whole caravan was in motion, it would remind a person of a cavalcade of Arabs.

Here we encountered the first difficulty of any moment.

The ferrybhoat had left the spring before for parts unknown. Fortunately the river was quite low, and the only possible way of getting over was to unload the wagon and

in a skiff a portion at a time. The running gear was taken over in this way and put together; then the large body or bed was floated over; then the furniture

was taken over and reloaded, and-

the horses swam over; and last, the sfamily was ferried over the evening of the second day, and camped for the first time in Indiana, on the north bank of the Ohio River. The ferryman at that time was George Ash, well-known in frontier history, having, when a child, been taken prisoner and raised entirely by the Indians. He lived on the Indiana side, could scarcely speak a word of English, wore rings in his ears and nose, and dressed in Indian style, Although he had a very good house, he had not a chair or bedstead in--it, way like a sivage. ” » FROM ASH'S FERRY, was then called, we
