What's the Origin?

@. Since the word humbug ap'
parently describes a humming in.
sect, why do we use the word in the
meaning of a faker, a fraud?
A. To begin with, the word bus
originally designated a swollen, ter.
rifying monster: hence, a hobgob-
lin. And this meaning is still famil.
lar in such terms as bugbear: a hob.
goblin in the shape of a bear; buga.
boo: a hobgoblin plus the interjec.
ton "boo!"; bogey, a hobgoblin, an.
other spelling of bug; bug-eyed, with
the protruding eyes of hobgoblin
According to the etymologist, DR.
Walter w. Skeat, certain insects
were referred to as bugs be-
cause (they were) an object Of ter
ror, exciting disgust"
Skeat also lists an old English
word hum as meaning Ito trick,
hence, a hoax.
Thus we see that the word hum
bug, when it was coined centuries
ago, expressed the idea of a sham
hobgoblin. BY extension, the term
humbug took on the meaning of any
piece of trickery; also, one who is
known to be an imposter, or, as we
Americans phrase it, phony.

Uncle Rays Corner

A letter has come to me from Miss
Belle Gould of the Junior Classical
League, asking me to help celebrate
Latin Week March IL to I'D by
writing about Latin.
( People often describe Latin as a
dead language" but in some ways
/ it still lives. 1t lives in the Romance
languages-Italian, French, Spanish,
Portuguese, Romanian-and it lives
in the English language. Many
thousands of English words have
come to us from Latin roots.
/ Take the word century" for ex-
ample. 1t means 100 years and
came from the Latin "centuria. -
In the old Roman armies, CEN
turia was group of 100 men.
Closely related to "centuria'' was
the Latin "centum," from which
came the name of modern coin,
the cent" A cent is a hundredth
part of dollar.
How often we speak Of per cent?
This term came directly from the

Take Nv Word for 1t By Frent Cobb,

lpronouncing the 80" of women like
the short "i" of "wind"?-T. A. M.
A. The word woman evolved from
the Angle-Saxon wifmann, mean
ing wife man." for the word mann
(man) originally meant person of
either sex. Wifman became VIM
man, and its plural was wimmen.
The singular wimman then be-
came wumman, which finally evolved
into woman, in which the "o' re-
tanned the sound of the 'u' of wum-
man. And, with the characteristic
illogic that is found all through our
beautiful but loony language, the
modern plural women retained the
short 'i' sound of the ancient plu-
raj Winmen.
@. Please explain what is meant
by lad lib"
A. It's the abbreviation of the
Latin phrase ad libitum, meaning,
"at pleasure, at liberty" Among
musicians and show people lad lib"
means ito insert a passage or re-
mark that departs from or Is in ad-
dition to the written part" Come
dians, such as Fred Allen and Bob
Hope, who are adept in extempora-
Ineous witticismS, are known in show
business as expert "ad libbers."

Latin "per centum." To this day
there are people who say per
centum" instead of per cent" One
per cent is hundredth part OF
something, and five parts of 100
make S per cent.
Think of how often we use "per
cent" in everyday speech! Banks
pay us a certain per cent of inter-
est when we leave money in a saw
ings account, and they charge a diff
ferent rate "a bit higher if we bor-
row money

examples of English words with

needed to list all such words.
Two thousand years ago (wher
Julius Caesar was alive) the Latin
language was at its height. On the
streets of Rome and in Roman
homes. Latin was spoken by adults
and children.
With a different course of worlo

Beware. men!

Beware, men!
 The Parisian characters who are determined to make neurotics of the entire male population have created contact lenses with which the girls can change the color of their eyes to match their costumes.
 You're liable to get your face slapped for admiring your wife's big blue eyes .. the evening she's wearing the green ones to match her new gown.
 Little girls may develop unheard of complexes resulting from eye color indecision. Their birth certi- ficates will list color of eyes as brown, but their parents may switch to blue when the little dears are a few years old. Think of the trouble they'll have getting drivers and marriage licenses.
 Your gal will look mighty sym metrical when she wears a green and brown striped blouse, with an eye to complement each shade.
 1t might even reach the point where Mabel will describe her new spring outfit to Mary Jane thusly:
 "I got a beautiful red suit with a white blouse and navy shoes, hat and bag. But, l just don't know whether to get blue or white eyes to go with it."
 As usual, the male will be so- cially handicapped by the new fashion trend. For, after a big night out on the town, milady will be able to recapture her glamour merely by a switch in lenses.
 Her hangover escort on the other hand, must face the morning after-world with the same old blood shot red eyes.
 How do they get that .4oay de- pertinent! Ever alert for some thing with which to dazzle unsus- pecting male eyes, New York gals have taken to wearing jewellery backwards. In one week, I've seen a diamond clip decorating a plung- ing neckline in BACK; a huge silver star just below the neckline on the rear of a coat and black ribbon with jeweled ends down a young lady's bare back. It'll get so that We won't be able to tell wheth- CT they're coming or going.

Robert Mayokok
 Balks at Paying S25 A Day License Fee

SEATTLE, (P)-Robert Mayo kok, the Eskimo artist, contem- plated a $1,500 collection of ivory in his hotel room today and de- cided he will not pay the city of Seattle $25 a day for a peddler's license.
 It is not matter of principle with Mayokok. It's a matter of principal.
 q can't afford it," the Eskimo shrugged. "It costs enough just to live in Seattle, let alone pay a license fee"
 Mayokok, AS, came to Seattle from Nome in hopes of selling Eskimo ivory pieces, including fine fooled birds from St. Law renee Island, dog teams and sleds from Shishmaref, cribbage boards and ivory animals from King Is- land and the Pribilof Islands.
 He also hoped to sell some of his own fine etchings of Eskimo life. The profits he must split with his packers, the Eskimos in the villages who did the ivory carving.
 But before Mayokok started his rounds of Seattle gift shops, he checked with the Seattle Cham Der of Commerce. He was referred to the city hall to see about a license.
 "One dollar for a business li- cense, and that is all right" he said. "Then they look in book and decide I must pay S25 a day for a peddler's license. That is all right, too-but I can't afford it.
 Mayokok plans to remain in Seattle about a week. Then, if business doesn't brighten up, he's going back home on an Alaska Line ship.

Brehnn Asks Court
To Erase Conviction
In Contribution Case
BY The Assoeiotsd Press

Representative Brehm. Repub-
1ican, Of Ohio, yesterday asked the
United States Court Of Appeals to
throw out his conviction on
charges that, he illegally accepted
$1,000 in campaign contributions
from one of his employees.
MIR. Brehm filed brief with the
court, contending that District
Court Judge Burnita Sheldon
Matthews committed three spe-
cific errors in her handling OF the
two-week, trial last spring.
The 59-year- -old Representative
was fined $1,000 and given a sus-
pended 5-to-15-month jail sem
tence after a jury found him guilty
April 80 of unlawfully taking cam
paign gifts from Mrs. Emma S.
Craven in 1948 when she was
clerk in his congressional office.
Payment of Fine Held Up.
Payment of the fine has been
held up pending outcome OF Mr..
Brehm,s appeal. but the money
has been deposited with the court
clerk.
Mr.. Brehm also contended that
the seven-count indictment re-
turned against him last winter
was invalid because the jury COM
mission which selected the grand
jury was Illegally constituted"
He told the Appeals Court that
Judge Matthews made a mistake
in refusing to direct his acquittal
upon the Governments failure
to establish that the alleged con-
tributions were received for the
political purpose" of helping f.
nance Mr.. Brehm's own campaign
for reelection in 1948.
The brief said that Mrs. Craven
"emphasized and reiterated" that
her contributions were for the
Republican campaign fund and
war chest"
Further Errors Charged.
Mr.. Brehm's second contention
was that Judge Matthews was
wrong in failing to instruct the
Jury that before there could be a
guilty verdict, "the jury must find
that the giver and receiver knew
and understood that the contribu-
tions were made for the political
purpose charged in the indict-
ment.' :
In the third place. he claimed
Judge Matthews should have ex-
cluded evidence Of contributions
allegedly received by him before
the dates mentioned in the indict-
ment.
The Government has IS days to
answer. Mr.. Brehm's attorneys
say they doubt that the appellate
court can hear arguments on the
case until early next year. !
