Mayas Kept
Thanksgiving Day
HEN football fans turn out
for the Thanksgiving games
they will perhaps realize that
they are conforming with an old
American custom, but do they know
how old that custom is? asks a
writer in the St. Louis Post-Dis
patch.
Thanksgiving
football games
were instituted in America about
2000 B. C. The custom began
among the ancient Mayas, who, al
though they did not eat mince pie
or sit in concrete stadiums, did
dine on turkey and did set aside
a day on which they offered up
the first fruits of the harvest sea
son, feasted and played, or watched
a ball game in a stone-walled en
closure.
The department of middle Amer
ican research at Tulane university
has discovered that the Mayan
games were like ours in many re
spects. Just as fans today travel
for miles to see the Thanksgiving
games, so did our predecessors on
this confinent journey across the
land, on foot or horseback, to
Chichen-Itza, holy city of the
Mayas, to view the holiday spec
tacle.
In his description of the Mayan
game, Maurice Reis, on the staff
of the department of middle Amer
ican research at Tulane, says:
“As it began when Rome ruled
the waves and Frenchmen wore
bear skins as their Sunday best,
football wasn’t just football. That
is, the ball wasn’t kicked with the
foot and the scores were produced
by persuading the ball to pass
through a perpendicular ring high
on a stone wall.”
When the thousands of pilgrims
who came every year arrived at
Chichen - Itza, they offered sacri-

Companionship, Plus Adjustments
Is Far Better Than Loneliness
IN EVERY family, whether little
- or large, and however small or
ipacious the dwelling may be,
there are times when conflicts
arise because of unwanted con
tacts. Some special place may
be desired above all others by one,
or possibly two, in conference and
a second or a third person coming
in and wanting that particular
room also is a cause of dissension.
There may be no lack of affection
between the people, but a tem
porary ruffling of personalities
which is disturbing. When living
quarters are congested, these
occasions arise frequently, but
they are not limited to such con
ditions. There are these con-
vergencies, with their annoying
discords, regardless of space, or
the lack of it, and numbers of
persons, or the fewness of them.
It would appear to be partly a
similarity of tastes as well as
the popularity of the spot, what
ever it is, that was an element
of the magnetic force drawing the
people together.
Transient Dissension.
It is true that instances are rare
in which such trouble is more
than a passing dissension. But
this is enough to set the persons
in bad humors for a few moments
anyway, unless one or more of
them has enough understanding
of the situation to smooth others,
or has a keen sense of humor,
which sense is like oil to ma
chinery in keeping things running
without friction.
Congeniality.
It should be remembered that
congeniality is one cause for this
convergence of persons. The same
things are liked, the same im
pulses are present, and enjoyment
and discord are both caused by
much the same things. Each of
these persons is drawn to the
lame things and to the same
places, and so naturally meet in
the same room in the home, or
the identical spot. If there is the
desire to be alone, resentment is
stirred by the presence of an
other. It is at such times that
tact and kindliness are needed. I
am assuming that love is not lack
ing. Without this essential ele
ment in home life, there will be

fices to the earth gods in an im
pressive thanksgiving ceremony led
by the ruler.
“The earth gods,” says Alredo
Barrera Vasquez, of the staffs of
the Mexican National Museum and
the National University of Mexico,
who is of Maya descent, “are called
the Four Bacabs and are repre
sented as supporting the four cor
ners of the earth. Each god has
an appropriate color: red for the
east where the sun rises, black for
the west where it sinks into dark
ness, yellow for the warm south
and white for the cold north. Yum
K’ax, Lord of the Forest, resides
at the center of the universe and
is characterized by the colors blue
and green.”
The Thanksgiving ceremonies still
take place in some parts of Mexico
today, although most of the old cus
toms are dominated by the Catholic
influence.
The name of the principal god
of the harvest is lost. However,
we have many representations of
him on ancient monuments.
He
is always depicted as being young
and handsome, symbolic of life and
growth. From his head grows maize
instead of hair.

discord anywhere and at any time,
if not, indeed, at all times.
Loneliness.
When harmony is desired, and
clashes of temperaments of those
caused by such things as are under
discussion today, exist, it is well
to bring oneself up with a round
turn by thinking of the loneliness
that would be felt if we did not
have our family about us. During
absences from home, or when one
is left there when others are away,
the realization of what it means
to be alone and also together,
creeps into the mind and it is
warmed by the very thought of
companionship of dear ones.

Or COURSE, children should never drink coffee.
And many grown-ups, too, find that the caffein in
coffee disagrees with them. If you have headaches
or indigestion or can’t sleep soundly...try Postum.
It contains no caffein. It is simply whole wheat and
bran, roasted and slightly sweetened.
You may miss coffee at first, but after 30 days
you'll love Postum for its own rich, satisfying flavor.
Postum comes in two forms—Postum Cereel, the
kind you boil, and Instant Postum, made instantly
in the cup. Either way it is easy to make, delicious,
