Hard to Trace Origin
of Phrase Often Used

The expression "once in blue
moon," which used to mean never, now
usually means seldom or very rarely.
Its origin is obscure. Some authori-
ties think they see relation between
the phrase and the moon under GER
tain conditions. For instance, Brew
er, who In his phrase and Fable" de-
fines "once in a blue moon" as very
rarely indeed" says: ION December
10, 1888, we had a blue moon. The
winter was unusually mild" Moons Of
unusual colors. such as green and
blue, have been seen after certain vol
canic explosions Of great violence. and
also occasionally through smoke-laden
fogs, but inasmuch as "once In a blue
moon" originally meant never, 1t L.
not likely that it refers to such lunar
phenomena. The United States wealth
er bureau has been unable to find any
thing in meteorological literature
which would explain the origin OF the

Spreading Disease

There are plenty Of people who do
not understand the precise difference
between a contagious and an infectious
disease. In the former case the dis
ease is passed on by contact, direct or
indirect. You may contract the dis
ease by touching the person, or BY
touching something the person has
touched. But in the latter case the air
itself may become infected, and the
disease may be "breathed into the sys-
TEN" by one who has never been near
the original sufferer, or near any per
son or object the sufferer has touched.
A proper understanding Of these terms
is necessary for ones self-protecton.

Youths Condemned to
Seclusion in Boyhood

The boys Of the Solomon islands
after a few years are taken from
their mothers and they are not seen
again by any woman until they reach
manhood. In the meantime they are
completely segregated and dire pun
ishment Is threatened to any women
who try to see them for any reason,
The origin and reason for this Gus
tom is not satisfactorily explained.
During this period the boys are used
for Bonito fishing and when they
leave and return in the boats to that
part Of the island which Is given over
to them they are religiously covered
with fiber mats, which completely
hide them for fear that some prying
female might try to spy on them.
There is really no danger, for the
women believe that the spirits will
see them and deal out some terrible
punishment They are so fearful Of
this fate that they all take to their
huts at the time Of the departure and
return of the boys. This fishing Is
looked upon as a sacred ceremony or
duty.
When a certain period has elapsed
there is a big feast and the boys are
led to the village with a great cere-
mony and In pomp and state they are
revealed to the women. After this tho
