PLACES Of STRIKERS
NOW BEING FILLED

Featuring the strike situation in
Atlanta Tuesday were reports from
various railroad shops in the city
which indicated that the places of
strikers are rapidly being filled in
all shops except those of the Central
of Georgia and the Southern rail-
road, 1t was declared by strikers
that the men who are being en-
ployed are for the most part mex
perienced and incapable of perform
ing the work necessary.
At the Seaboard shops, which were
reopened Monday, it was stated that
already approximately 200 men have
been employed. The total force there
is said to be about ESQ. Officials of
the road said Tuesday that all men
employed are fully capable of doing
the work required and that no in
experienced men would be employed.
All other roads except the two
above mentioned report forces rang
ing in size from the L. & N. rail
roads force of SO per cent 10 the
N, G.. & st. L., which according
to officials of the road, is now EN-.
ploying very nearly as many men as
before the strike.
The situation is said to be un-
changed as regards any further re-
duction in the number of trains run
ming into Atlanta, officials of all
roads declaring that no further cuts
are contemplated at this time. No
disorders were reported Tuesday
MOI ming.
At the Central of Georgia and
Southern railroad offices it was init
mated that for the present these
roads will continue their waiting
policy in the hope that the strike
will be settled soon. Officials OF
these roads said that they would
much prefer seeing their former EN-.
ployes retain all seniority rights, if
possible, and that unless unexpected
conditions make it imperative to EN-.
ploy other workers the shops will be
kept closed for the present.
Negotiations are said to be in
progress between representatives OF
the clerks union of the Southern
railway and officials Of the road in
an endeavor to prevent possible
strike of clerks which has been voted
by the union. According to leaders
of the union, so far the negotiations
have been without result.
Announcement was made Tuesday
by A. B. Brownlow, vice chairman
an dsecretary and treasurer of tho
joint executive board of the maiEte-
nance of way union of the Southern
railway system, whose headquarters
are in Atlanta, that he would leave
for Washington, d. c., Wednesday
to attend conference on strike
conditions called by national lead.
ers Of the union.
"We hope for peaceful settle
ment of the strike at an early data"
said Mr.. Brownlow, cit is probaByl
that action will be taken by the con.
ference which will have an impor-
tant bearing on the situation.

shadow. SO was abandoned in favor
of the latter.
According to Mr. Cotsworth's theory,
the early Egyptians were faced with
the need of maintaining and increas-
Ing their population to ward off in
vasion by the Assyrians on the north
and the Ethiopians on the south. To
do so they had to increase their .ood
supplies. AS no more ttllable land
was available it was UP to them to
increase the yield Of their lands by
intensive and careful farming. 1t was
then necessary to know just exactly
such intensive crops could only be de-
veloped by locating the precise points
in the seasons.
Precise knowledge depended upon
study of the sun. and as the Egyp-
tians had neither telescope nor sun
glass, observation of shadows was de-
veloped. To have better shadows the
pyramid was gradually evolved as a
huge sun dial and the need was full
filled. Three crops Of certain grains
are still harvested in Egypt.
In Central and South America the
Aztecs. Mayas and other early civiN-
cations also devised calendars, such
as the Aztec calendar stone now in
the museum at Mexico City. Being so
much closer to the equator than the
Egyptians, the latter's form of pyra-
mid observatory was impossible, be-
would be necessary. and this was i'm
possible to build then. Their open
step pyraminds. then, were capable
of determining the years length only
to the 365th day and not the fraction
Of the 366th.

Evolution of the Calendar

By the Associated Press.

By the Associa ted Press
The evolution of the calendar. from
the days when man could count only
from day to day. through the time
when the lunar month was reckoned
as year" to the present time of
an almost universally used time
counting system. is romance of the
history of man. Piecing together tho
few known facts of the calendars
life story. scientists have found diff
fereEt interpretations and uses for
well known facts and remains of
early life.
For instance, according to Moses B.
Cotsworth, writing in a recent publi-
cation of the Pan American Union
the we'll known Egyptian pyramids
wene not erected by early monarchs
OF that realm as monuments to their
greatness nor as tombS for their
bodies; but were huge sun dials, with
the aid of which the yearly process
sion OF the equinoxes was discovered
and the, calendar devised.
Work Of Mathemnticians.
. The pyramids We're constructed by
mathematicianS and astronomers, Mr.
Cotsworth holds. The size height and
slope of each being determined to
aid astronomy. Each of the piles
in lower Egypt was built at diff
ferent period, until the last was
! found to be the more nearly perfect
! for studying the sun and stars on
! the meridian of Egypt. Not until
| each was abandoned for better. he
claims. was pyramid given over
! to the uses of a royal tomb.
The pyramidal form. in conjunction
with the obeisk, was devised to cast
| "A shadow Of sufficient sharpness to

E, ment in this city, which shadow meas

! purpose also of several other similar
ancient stone constructions in various
parts of the world.
The primary reason for the calendar
Evening star., 1922-10-19

in early days was the need of know
ing when to sow and reap. how to
handle cattle and to determine other
propitious days. All peoples. it is
supposed, used the periods OF the
moon as their longest time space, but
this was varied and unequal through
the year. Noah. it was said, adopted
the early Egyptian calendar of
f1ve-month year. thirty days to the
month and three ten-day weeks. as
better way to ration the tribal sup
plies.
Bundles of small sticks were. the
first known means of actually keep
ing track of the passage of days.
and even today some American In
dians keep five bundles of thirty
sticks, pulling out one stick each
day. The last bundle is repeated in
each half year to even things up, and
the middle bundle is split in two
equal groups to determine the ap-
proach of midsummer and midwin-
ter days. In the Fiji Islands the
moon stick" was used, on which
notch marked the waning of each
moon.
The Hebrews evolved a six-month
year when Jacob Set out stakes from
| a central position in a line to the
horizon to mark where the sun rose
| and set on the longest, shortest and
medium day of the year. The extreme
ages given to early Bible worthless
| were attributed to counting moons
as years and later five and six
months as full years.
| One of the means used by the early
pfiesthoods TO impress the masses.

1t was explained. was the secrecy
attending the determining of the sea-
sons and years. Sacred rods used to
measure the shadows by which the
time OF year was determined were
jealously guarded, and when, on the
set date. the priests measured out on
the ground the lengths of the
shadows, the ceremony was accom-
panied by great show.
Today ip Borneo expert calendar
makers among the Dyaks have secret
measuring poles. They travel over
the country setting up measuring
rods and setting In the ground pegs
rods. They tell the farmers to plant,
cultivate or reap when the poles
shadow touches certain pegs in the
middle Of the day. At the end Of the
harvest they return and gather the
tithes of the crops which are their
fees.
So accurate were the measurements
Of the early Egyptian astronomers,
according to the writer. that they
were able to determine to the third
decimal point the exact length of
the year, which they set at 365.242
days. .
Neither Monument Nor TOmb.
The famous Egyptian Sphinx is mel
ther a monument nor a tomb, Mr..
Cotsworth declares, but was designed
and built primarily as another astro-
nomical instrument by which the sun
rise and setting points of spring, sum-
mer and winter were fixed. That
measurement was not so accurate as
