torials put "The Star"
in italics, but in "The Kansas City Star" put "Star" in italics

=9. Compounds and Divisions:=

Omit the hyphen when using an adverb compounded with -ly before a
participle: a newly built house.

Use a hyphen after prefixes ending in a vowel (except bi and tri)
when using them before a vowel: co-exist. When using such a prefix
before a consonant do not use the hyphen except to distinguish the
word from a word of the same letters but of different meaning:
correspondent, but co-respondent (one called to answer a summons);
recreation, but re-create (to create anew) reform, but re-form (to
form again); re-enforced; biennial, etc.

Do not use the hyphen in the names of rooms when the prefix is of
only one syllable: bedroom, courtroom, bathroom, etc. (except blue
room, green room, etc.).

When the prefix is of more than one syllable use the hyphen. Follow
the same rule in making compounds of house, shop, yard, maker,
holder, keeper, builder, worker: shipbuilder, doorkeeper.

In dividing at the end of a line:

Do not run over a syllable of two letters.
Do not divide N. Y., M. P., LL. D., M. D., a. m., p. m., etc.
Do not divide figures thus: 1,-000,000; but thus 1,000,-000.
Do not divide a word of five letters or less.

=10. Figures:=

Use figures for numbers of a hundred or over, except when merely a
large or indefinite number is intended: twenty-three, 123, about
a thousand, a dollar, a million, millions, a thousand to one,
from four to five hundred.

Use figures for numbers of less than 100 when they are used in
connection with larger numbers: There were 33 boys and 156 girls;
there were 106 last week and 16 this week.

Use figures for hours of the day: at 7 p. m.; at 8:30 this morning.

Use figures for days of the month: April 30, the 22nd of May.

Use figures for ages: he was 12 years old; little 2-year-old John.
If the words "2-year-old John" begin a sentence or headline, spell
out the age.

Use figures for dimensions, prices, degrees of temperature, per
cents., dates, votes, times in races, scores in baseball, etc.: 3
feet long, $3 a yard, 76 degr
