TABOOS COME FROM
PRIVATE AVERSIONS
Scott Analyzes Reason For Put-
ting Ban on Certain Acts
and Words
AUTHORS HAVE QUEER DISLIKES
'A taboo5, thc diciinaries say, is a pro-
hibitisis sometimes lal by primitive pe-
pies upon certain objects, (r acs. It is

"Suels prohibitios as these do nt dif-
fer materially frost those noted above as
prevailinig amng the primitie people.
They arc arbitrary comssands to cease
f rum she use of certin words-words
which so far as I have een able to as-
certain, ave been unitormly regardd
by ctultivatesd persons as a legitimatei part
of the English vocabulary. These pro-
hibitions are verbal taoos of the civil-
ized type."
Prof. Sctt then qoted asother ex-
ample frous a boots called "Words and
Their Uses." The fllyiing is ass ex-
tract:
"Presidesntia. This adjective, which is
used aonsgiso frequently is ot a leiti-
mate word. Carelessness or igoracee
has saddled it its an "i" which is on
the wrong horse. The proper Incas is
"presidenial," as that of the adjectives
focused tpon "anigent" asd "exposnet"
aire "tangenial" and "exposena." "Pres-
