Here are a few tips from Gov ernment home economics ex perts on how to buy that Thanks giving turkey: If you want a tender, juicy, good-flavored bird, buy a young one. If the breastbone is flexible, the turkey is young. Turkeys of good quality have few pinfeathers. If the dressed bird shows UJue through the skin, its meat is liable to be stringy and tough. The better turkey has a coating of fat underneath the skin. to easy subjugation of the conquering freebooters and empire builders of 16th century Spain, who soon reduced the weakened remnants to peonage and slavery. History speaks with pride of the achievements of the 'magnificent Mayans," the greatest of American aborigines, and of their 18-month calendar of 20 days each twith five unlucky ‘‘leap-’ days added regularly by the priests to keep pace with the sun. At the Century of Progress Exposi tion in Chicago, in 1933-3*. nothing that modernist architects could create surpassed in interest or imptessiveness the reconstruction of the great. Mayan "nunnery of Ushmal,” with its intri cate frescoes of orange and green stucco and its high and stately ter races. Built With Massive Stone. The Mayans built their carved and painted temples and cities of massive stone and their long white stone and cement roads, *0 feet wide, loading over marshes and through jungles and valleys for scores of miles without knowledge of the wheel or of the true architectural arch, and they did it alone, without help from others (save perhaps the Toltecs of Mexico), and without contact with the white man. or even the state-building Incas of Peru. If the latter with their strong po litical organization, their amazing pot tery, their ornamental gold and their natural sun-worship, were the Mace donians. or even the imperial Romans, of pre-European, indigenous America, the Mayans with their maize, their mathematics their architecture, their triumphant priestcraft were certainly the culture-bearing Egyptians. They built up their enduring civilization from a primitive, nomadic condition until they possessed the highest agri cultural, architectural and astronom ical attainments of any Stone Age peo ple in the world. Held Greatest Race. Dr. Sylvan us G. Morley, a recognized authority, describing the Mayan victo ries over nature and the tropics, ex claimed: “With consideration for the limitations of the facilities, the Mayans were the greatest race that ever lived on this earth.” How did they do it? ... No man really knows. Admittedly, the occult power of religion, and of religious rather than commercial leadership, is a large part of the explanation . . . The sacred well, the culmination of the awe-inspiring religious ritual of last week's broadcast, has actually been discovered, in the famous city of Chl chcn-Ilza, in Northeastern Yucatan; its dark waters have been plumbed. The name of that famous city of ruined, temples means “The Mouths of the Wells of the Itzas." It was built about 500 A D., and dedicated to a famous Mayan diety—the great feathered serpent, “Quetzalcoatl"— whose mystic symbols have become the theme of the ornamentation of one of the noblest, of modern American skyscrapers, the great Fisher Build ; ing in Detroit. The man who explored the bottom of the sacred pool, recently, in a diver's suit—a certain E. H. Thomp son, owner of a near-by sisal plan tation-found proof that Mayan ritu als were actually conducted there, in the form of jade and jewelry, broken I pottery, weapons and, most remark- I j a^!e of all. bones of young men and maidens who had met death in that | sacred water, as living sacrifices pre sumably to the dread god of rain. I.ittle Human Sacrifice. Contrary to the practices of the i I blood-thirsty Aztecs of Mrxico and the Arawaks of the Caribbean, there was apparently very little human sacrifice j among the Mayans prior to the Toltec invasion. "The Mayan idea was that i the privileged victims of the priests j might, if they survived the ritualistic ] drowning, draw themselves up out of j the well to report whether the god I would save his people from drought and famine." The hero of last week's dramatic i broadcast was a real Mayan, who ’ | lived and died the life and death of a . humanitarian martyr a few years ! i ago in Yucatan. Strangely enough, | the story of Felipe Carillo, the last I descendant of a great race to deserve I the notice of history, cannot he found m any American reference book, not even the latest of them, the Encyclo pedia of the Social Sciences, nor in j the Brittanica. He rose through the I labor movement and the Socialist 1 party during and after the World War. to become the beloved leader and elected Governor of Yucatan, and he was murdered for his pains. Idea* Were Preserved. Fortunately he wrote at least one article for an American magazine (the Survey Graphic. May 1, 1934), In which his spirit and ideas are pre served. He said: "Yucatan is Maya. Our people have a fabulous history, a rich tradition, a tenacious memory and infinite patience. The conquered Indian has conquered his conqueror in Yucatan. The Spaniard here has absorbed much of our habits of life and is more like a Maya than a Spaniard. "When the conqueror despoiled the Indian of his land he automatically took his freedom from him. That ex plains our slogan, 'Land and liberty!’ Our revolution (and this holds true of Mexico and other parts of Latin America also) has one main objective —to give the Maya Indian his status as a free man, to save him from the evil consequences of physical slavery and from cultural and spiritual stag nation which slavery gradually im posed upon him. All else is a side issue. The recovery of ownership of land, as of old, by the Indian communities, is the fundamental con tribution of the revolution to date." The hero of tonight's broadcast was also a reformer and a protestant against the iniquities of the Spanish conquest—Bartolome de las Casas, who died in Madrid, 1566, of whom we shall write next week.

You Always Look For CHARACTERIZATION in ACTING The villian on the stage grabs the heroine and you want to jump out of your seat and beat him; the hero or his mother dies and the tears come rolling down your cheeks. When an actor’s part is well-played, you live the scene and enjoy the experience. Therefore, when you go to the theater . .. you look | for characterization in acting. Productive advertising is characteristic of the concern which uses it; a store knowTi for selling high-grade merchan dise and intent upon attracting cus tomers for that type of goods makes its advertising messages appear in keeping with snch established policies. The im pression which the reader gets from advertising should be the same as re ceived in buying in the store; the printed word is just another salesman employed to impress prospective havers. You always look for characterization in acting; it’s just as important to look for RESULTS from your advertising. BRINGS RESULTS fc-———— ■■■■■■ .: 1 A *.
