NEW LIGHT ON THE AZTEC
Professor Says Montezuma Was Not
King, But Merely War Chief Of
Confederacy.

The overturning Of traditions which
has been brought about by American
ethnologists, who by the study of AZ
tee life have come to the conclusion
that MonteZuma was not n king, but
only war chieftain; that the famous
Aztec empire was not on empire at all,
but only loose confederacy Of demo-
cratic Indian tribes, Is subscribed to
by Prof. T. T. Waterman of the Uni
! versity of California, who has Just is
sued paper on "Bandelier's ContrIbu-
| ton to the Study"
Montezumas palace" was not a pal
ace, but only war headquarters for the
tribe, according to Waterman. Monte
zuma," he says, "was only an elected
war chief. He had not power to de-
clare war, this being the prcrogative Of
the tribal council. The choice of the
war chief, was, however. limited to one
group, which consisted of a whole fam
lily Of lineage, but son did not follow
| father unless elected. The sons of the
war chiefs were brought up us private
citizens.
THE head war chief, such as Monte
yuma, was of no higher rank than the
coadjutor, who held the extraordinary
title OF Snake Woman. The functions
OF the man who held this office are not
clearly known, but apparently an i'm
portant part of his office was the gath
ering and housing of tribute,
misunderstanding nf Aztec life has
arisen" says Waterman. "frOm the fact
that the Spanish cOnqucrors did not
realize the fundamental differences be-
tween Indian and Spanish society.
Land was not owned by individuals,
but by the clan. To the Aztec society
was essentially democratic, while Span
ish society was essentially feudal."

ers In donating their services u
statesmen for ono or two days to tho
cause or the bonds. These men have
made personal canvass Of the state,
In practically every town, going from
store to store and house to house in
an effort to secure subscriptions. This
movement was originated by Carroll
ID. Jones, OF Columbia, president Of
the State Underwriters' Association:
and was put in operation under tho
supervision Of a eommttoe OF which
Fred S. Munsell is chairman. Ths
other members Of this committee are
James A. Cathcart. John w. Lillard,
T. Hale Dick. w. 8. Henley. George l..
Dial, Jesse T. Reese and A. s. Call
lard.
Due to the efforts OF these men, tho
allotment OF bonds for the state fs
constantly dwindling; and their eff.
forts will be continued until the close
or the campaign on June Is.
The campaign has also had and Ia
still having the utmost cooperation OF
the women's clubs Of the state. The
numerous organizations have contrfbu.
ted their time and efforts without
stint; and women and girls have been
conspicuous in all the movements in
behalf OF the bonds. Especially on
June was this truo, at the time
when all those around the reg,stra.
ton places were given bond litera-
ture by prettily dressed girls.
Although June 5th was officially des-
ignated as Liberty Bond Day. on
which there should be definite efforts
to secure subscription from every
man In the state. the campaign is by
no means over. It will not end until
June 15. the day upon which sub.
scriptions cease. There will there
fore, be no diminution OF effort on the
part OF the numerous committees who
have the promotion Of the sales in
charge. II Is earnestly desired by tho
government and by the Liberty Loan
Central Committee FOR South Caro-
Ina that the allotment Of $500 600
which has been assigned to this state
be several times oversubscribed. The
effect OF having this bond issue over.
subscribed will have the same moral
effect upon the enemy as a great de-
feat; and this Is what Is trying to be
secured
Liberty Bonds are the strongest
security that any man may own. They
have the backing OF the greatest gov.
ernment on earth. they are absolutely
secure. and the money thus derived 10
to be used in fighting tho battles OF the

THE SCOUTS RELIGION.

The Boy Scouts of America main
tain that no hoy can grow into the
best Kind OF man without recognizing
his Obligation To God. The first part
"f the scouts oath or pledge is, "On
my honor will do my best to do my
duty to God and my country" The
recognition of God as the creating and
ruling power of the universe and the
grateful acknowledgment of his guild
;nc" is held To be necessary in direct
Ing the growing boy toward the best
typ" of American citizenship.
The boy scout movement, however,
is n"n-S"clarian in its attitude toward
religion. Its policy is that the religious
organization or institution with which
the boy scout il connected shall give
III" needed attention To his spiritual
life. If h" he Il Catholic, the Catholic
church should be Tn" agency for his
religious training. If he be Il Hebrew,
then ia" synagogue will teach him the
faith "f his fathers. If he be Il Protcs-
tant, the church of which he is an ad-
h"r"nl is III" proper organization to
civ" him an understanding of the
things that pertain To his allegiance to
. God.

How BeIoIt Received Its Name.

The Significance IF the name Of a
city Is commonly not difficult to dis
cover. Bcloit, WIS.,. than which no
city has n plcaSuntcr name, affords
the rare example of u city name manu-
fnctured to order, and having no
linguistic or other Significance. Ac-
, cording to the rccollectionS OF one Of
the founders OF the town, which have
recently been presented to the Wis
conSin Historical society. the first set
tier In lS.36 named the place "New AL
bany." A few months later n meeting
J Of the settlers was held to select a
better name for the future city. Sew
rrnl having been proposed and reject
ed, 1t was finally agreed "to place the
/ alphabet In hat and see If we could
not get combination OF letters that
would give us a name that would be
: n new one" While engaged i'm this,
one Of the settlers trying To sound Il
French word meaning 'hundSome
ground" uttered the sound "bcllotte"
Another settler Immediately modified
this TO "Bcloit," which was considered
like Detroit I'm sound and pretty and
original" So the newly coined name
was adopted, and by ii "Ncw Albany"
has ever since been known.-WiScon-

WHOLE STATE AIDING IN

"BUY BOND FOR BABY" SLOGAN IS POPJI AR
GOVERNOR MANNING SETS ExAMPLE--ALL
BANKS LENDING AID

Columbia, g. C.-Specisl.-One o.
the greatest exhibitions Of applied pa
trio.ism which this state has Witness
cd In many years Is now being dis
played In the great drive for the sale
or $S,5OO,OO0 Of the Liberty Loan
bonds. People from every walk O,
life, capitalists, bankers, merchants
and farmers are subscribing to the IS
sue which is to finance the war for
liberty which the United States is
now waging.
All banks have opened their doors
10 applications for the bonds; so that
any person who desires the bonds has
only to go to any bank in his town
where his application will be immedi
ately entered. The American people
and especially the farmers and mer.
chants OF the South, have not been a
pond investing people to any extent
out under the drive Of patriotic enthu.
siasm, they have rallied to the Liberty
Loan idea by the hundreds Of thous
ands; and small wage earners every
where have responded with every
manifestation OF eagerness.
This has extended to the utmost
farm districts OF the state. Local
committees have been organized IN
every community; men in automo
biles have volunteered to see every
farmer OF any means in the entire
farming districts and these have been
followed up by salesmen of various
kinds who have gone so far as to pro-
duce the application blank and secure
the farmers signature.
The Buy Bond for Baby" slogan

homes. Governor Manning himself
showed the way by subscribing for

To Avoid a Double Chin.

Sleep with the head low If you would
avoid q double chin. High pillows
throw the head forward, make fold
OF flesh under the chin, and cause the
muscles to relax. Battle the chin night
and morning with very cold water and
q few drops Of benzoin.
A double chin often results from the
habit OF bending the chin forward and
down to read or study, or 1t may come
from being near-sighted. If from habit,
learn to raise the object up so that the
eyes may be properly focused upon It
without bending the head forward.
This will also prevent any strain upon
the eyes.
