A coal scoop leaning against an
exquisite Chinese Chippendale
cabinet. That is the symbolism of
Warner Bros. production Of 'The
Cave Man." in which Matt Moore
and Marie Provost are co-starred,
ana which shows at the Monroe
Theatre today.
The coal scoop symbolizes the
character of Mike Smagg as por-
trayed by Matt Moore. Strong,
large and useful, but not very
ornamental or finely polished
scratched by coal and contact with
a rough world.
Marie Provost, as Myra Gay
lord, is symbolized by the delicate
perfection of the Chinese Chippen-
dale cabinet, useful in luxurious
way, but mainly pleasing to the
eye-eminently ornamental, the
sheltered, pampered darling Of
wealth, responsibility, and social
authenticity.
Is it possible or practicable to
attempt to FURNISH the coal scoop,
enamel the handle in a pastel shade
with little ornamental nosegays
lined here and there, and a large
pink bow tastefully disposed about
its neck? Wen, see "The Cave
Man."
lie was a big, husky, surly, Irish
brute. lie hated to work with his
brains and his Drawn at the same
time, so his brains vacationed
twelve months out of the year. His
face was habitually ambushed be-
hind the greasy visor of coal
heavens cap and a two-week's
growth Of red stubble, generously
sprinkled and dabbed with
splotches Of anthracite dust. Why
shave? Red flannel underwear,
rough tanned brogans, dago pants,
a red cotton handkerchief, and a
generous plug of horseshoe COM
pleted his outfit.
One day he delivered load Of
coal at her home. Hobnailed and
steel plated brogans on rich downy
rugs and mirror-like floor. Tiny
highheelcd and arched brocade
slippers on the dashboard Of coal
wagon, How did it all work out?
That is what Warner Bros. pro-
duction of "The Cave Man" is con-
srned with. The supporting cast,
which helps Marie Provost and
Matt Moore to unravel the tale,
includes Myrna 10y, John Patrick,
Phyllis Haver, and Hedda Hopper.
Lewis Milestone directed this pro-
duction, based on the Gillette Bur-

Savages Have Way to
Keep Track of Time.


oning time before the beginning of
the Christian Vera marked "B. CT
that the longer ago an event oc-
CURED the larger is the number of
years because we are counting back
wards. For instance, the Olympian
games Of 776 b. c. were held twenty
three years before the founding Of
Rome, which is supposed to have
taken place 753 B. C. The year
$50 B. c. was 100 years before so
B. c.. but the year $50 A. d. (Anno
Domini), or after Christ, was 100
years after so A. D., because here
we are counting forward, /, 2, 3, 4,
etc, instead of backward, 4, 8, 2, l..
We also divide time before and
after the birth of Christ into periods
of 100 years Or centuries. Thus the
years between the time of the birth
of Christ and 100 A. d. are in the
first century; from 100 to 200 A. D.
is the second century, etc. The
years between 1900 and 1000 are in
the notwithstanding. in which we
are now living. In reckoning time
before the birth Of Christ we count
the centuries back from that event,
just as we do the years.
One Of the difficulties in dealing
with the calendar arises from the
fact that the solar year cannot be
divided evenly into months and
days, because the time actually re-

SCHOOL
HELPS

Even savages have their rdue sys-
TENS of counting time by day and
months and seasons, and so nave
the beginnings Of a calendar. Very
early the suns seasonal progress
was discovered and men began to
use the year as a larger unit in
keeping track of time. But with
what event should they start. in
their reckoning?
The Greeks dated everything
from the beginning Of the ~so-called
Olympic Register, a traditional list
of the visitors in the Olympic games
starting with the year 776 B. c., ac-
cording to our reckoning. The Ro-
mans counted time from the found
ing of their city in 1853 B. c. The
Mohammedans reckon dates from
the "Hegira," or fight of Moham-
med from Mecca, in 622 A. D.
On stan nations now date events
from the birth of Christ. But this
practice did not come into s until
about the time of Charlemagne
ninth century,, and a mistake was
made which placed Christ's birth
about five years too late. Thus, al
though we reckon everything from
the birth Of Christ, scholars nov tell
us that that event occurred five
years before the beginning of what
we call the Christian era.
1t must not be forgotten in reck-

time was counted by the old Julian
calendar. The Gregorian calendar
was adopted almost Immediately by
Roman Catholic countries, but
Protestant and Greek Catholic ma.
tons were slow to accept 1t. 1t was
not adopted in England until 1852
when 1t vas necessary to DROP
eleven days. The foolish people
were very much aroused at this and
held great meetings. and went about
in professions crying, Give us back
our eleven days." Russia did not
accept the New Style until the revo.
luton in 1917. when there was a
difference of thirteen days between
the two calendars.
Another reform which the Gregor.
ian calendar effected was the fixing
of the time for the beginning Of the
year. Different times for the begin.
ming OF the year had been used
some countries beginning 1t with
Dec. 25, others with March rs, and
the like. Now Jan. 1 was fixed as
the years beginning.
This change in the calendar is the
reason that in documents Of the
eighteenth century we frequently
find dates given in two days, old and
new style. For instance, George
Washington was born Feb. %, 1882,
N. s., or Feb. IL. 1871, o. S. Some
times this is written Feb. 1872,
1884,. The Pilgrims landed at
Plymouth on Dec. 11-21, 1920, and,
according to Governor Bradford, they
began to erect the first house" on
Dec. %, 1920, o. s. In the new style
calendar this was jan. A. 1921.

quired foy the earth's journey
around the sun is 365 days 5 hours,
As minutes and 46 seconds. In the
old Julian calendar, prepared by
astronomers under order of Julius
Caesar, every fourth year was made
a leap year" and was given an
extra day, making it S66 days long,
but correction by a whole day every
four years was too much, and after
this calendar had been in use over
1900 years 1t was found that the
calendar was about ten days behind
the solar year. Thus in 1882, when
the sun crossed the equator in the
spring (vernol equinox, the date by
the calendar was March II instead
Of March 81, as it should have been.
So Pope Gregory XIII directed. as
a result of studies by the astron.
omers, that ten days be dropped
from the calendar that year, and
that the day after oct. 4. 1882
should be Oct. Is. To keep the cal
endar year and solar year together
~thenceforth it was directed that
three times in every 400 years the
leap year arrangement should be
omitted. This is accomplished by
not counting as leap years the years
ending in two ciphers, unless they
are Invisible not by four, but by 400.
Thus 1000 remained a leap year. but
1900, 1900 and 1900 were not. This
arrangement will keep the calendar
year and solar year together until
the year 1000, by which time the
difference will again have amounted
to. day.
The new calendar was called the
Gregorian or New Style calendar,
while the Old style was used when
