No Interference
with Strike-B Breakers
at Concord, N. H.

Concord. n. H.. July 6-Men who
are taking the places of striking rail-
road shopmen here ar enot meeting
with any interference while at their
work. The only ruffle Of the day was
when a local truckman attempted to
deliver bedding and other supplies
for the strike breakers at the round
house. The truck was rurrounded a
short distance from the round house,
and through their efforts the truck
man returned the load to the depot.
The supplies were then placed on a
car and taken to the round house by
rail.
More strike breakers arrived from
Boston today. but of the first lot, sew
eral quit when they were informed
that they were to take the place of
strikers. They were fed at the Gen.
trail Labor Union hall and given
transportation out of the city. The
second batch of strike breakers to
arrive were landed at the round
house. a special stop being made by
the train. Pickets are meeting all
trains at the station and other pick
cts guard all entrances to the rail-
road shop and the round house.
The strike leaders claim that the
men imported from Boston were not
made aware-of the strike condi-
tions here until they were unloaded
at their destination. Over 60 strike
breakers are now at work here, all
provision for their boarding a, and
sleeping quarters being made by the
railroad company.
A mass meeting of strikers was
held this morning.

Fun for the Fourth of JULY

Instead Of entertaining the chill
dren, let the children entertain you"
is the motto that many cities seem
to have adopted for the Fourth. And
it's amazing the number OF absorbing
things people are discovering for
children of every age to do. Chill
dren's parades, pet-shows, doll shows,
athletic contests, picnics, stunts and
races for the girls and boys keep
the youngsters absorbed from early
morning till darkness brings fire.
works. The little tots may have an
exhibition of their pets or their dolls.
Stunts and athletic contests may be
arranged, so graded as to leave out
no age and no talent. The Scouts
and the Campfire Girls may give
exhibitions and may act as general
marshals for the occasion. The diff.
ferent Fairgrounds may put on exhi-
billions of folk dancing and hold ath-
letic meets and keep open house" in
general. Or there may be big CEN
trail meet in which the children from
all over the city take part.
In Denver, for instance, the plav-
ground children were busy for a week
before the Fourth last year making
kites and practising flying them in
preparation for the kite tournament.
Any one under eighteen could com
pete. the only condition being that
ne make his own kite. Prizes were
awarded for the kite that flew the
highest. for the most beautiful kite.
for the Kite most original in its de-
sign. for patriotic kite, for a model
aIrplane and for the winner in the
kite fight.
A battle of kites. by the way. is
an exciting event. The kites are
lined up against each other like OBJ
posing squadrons of airplanes. ANY
method may be used within a re-
strlcted area to cross cords with YOUR
opponent, bring his kite to earth and
disqualify him for further part in
the fray. One by one the kite flyers
fall out and the ranks grow thin
ner and thinner until finally only one
kite-fyer is left like the sole our
vlvor of an old-fashioned spelling
match when all his companions have
been spelled down.-From the De-
signer.

BabyIonians Devised Our Time

0ouiikibS
"SiXty seconds make a minute, 60
minutes make an hour You used to
say that as often as YOU did 40 mills
make a cent, 10 cents make dime
and 10 dimes make a dollar
1t is believed-in fact, certain
learned men have said it has been
proved-that the scheme of dividing
the hour into 60 parts and the min
ute into 60 parts was invented or
devised by the ancient Babylonians
centuries before the Christian era.
1t is one of the ways of counting time
which has gone unchanged during
the last 5000 or 10000 years.
Along with the decimal system in
ancient Babylon there was the seXa-
gesimal system based on the count
by sixties and originating in the dis
covery that there is no number which
has so many divisions as 60. for it can
be divided without remainder by ., 5,
4. 5, 6, 10, -. Is, 90 and 80.
Babylonians divided the suns path
into "A parasangs-a parasang being
about four and a half miles. The as
compared the progress of the sun
during one hour TO the progress that
would be made by a good walker in
the same length of time, each going
about one parasang, Or four and a
half miles. Thus, the whole course
of the sun, so the wise astronomers
of Babylon thought, was "a para
sangs, or 800 degrees, or "a hours,
and each parasang or hour was divid-
ed into 60 parts, which we call min
utes.
The story is that Hipparchus, the
Greek philosopher who lived a GEN.
fury and a half before Christ, intro
duced the Babylonian hour into Eu-
rope, and we have counted the time
of day in seconds, minutes and hours
ever since.
Herodotus, the Greek historian
who wrote nearly 500 years before
Christ. said that the Egyptians were
the first people to divide the year in
to II parts or months Of 80 days
each. Herodotus is shown to have
been wrong or misinformed about
many things but it is certain that
when Herodotus travelled il Egypt
collecting material for his history of
the world. the Egyptians told him
that their ancestors had devised the
plan of dividing the year into IL
equal parts The language of Hero
dotus was; 1.-THE Egyptians We're the
first to discover the year. which they
divided into twelve parts, and they
say they made this discovery from
the stars. and so far 7 think, they
acted more wisely than the Crecians,
in that the Grecians insert an inter-
GALAXY month every third year, on &C
count of the seasons: whereas the
Egyptians. reckoning twelve months
OF 80 days each. add five days each
year above that number and so with
them the circle Of the seasons comes
round to the same point"
