"Happy New Year," said in one way or another, is probably the world's oldest and most universal holiday greeting. The coming of the new year has been marked and celebrated since prehistoric times. It has not always been Jan. 1, however, and even now many peoples celebrate some other date as New Year's Day, the National Geographic society says. Jan. 1, in fact, is an arbitrary date set by Romans before Julius Caesar established the calendar that is the basis for the date used in most Western countries. Jan. 1, in ancient Rome, marked the day that consuls and other officials took office, and until Caesar set things straight it was sometimes juggled considerably for the political benefit of one officeholder or another. An error in Caesar's calculation (365 $\frac{1}{4}$ days), however, allowed Jan. 1 to creep away from its original astronomical place, and by 1582 when Pope Gregory XIII instituted the reformed Julian calendar in use today, spring's first day had gained 14 days on the stars. Gregory in 1582 ordained that Oct. 4 be followed by Oct. 15, thus adjusting the calendar to A.D. 325, the year of the Church Council of Nicea. The Gregorian correction of the Julian calendar is close to mathematical accuracy. It makes allowance for the fact that a year is about 11 minutes less than $365\frac{1}{4}$ days long by not only inserting leap years—such A WHISTLE, A WINK, A SMILE — And You've Started Something You Can't Stop!

Practical as it is, the Gregorian calendar gained slow acceptance. The British empire, including its American colony, did not adopt it until 1752. Young George Washington, who had turned 20 on Feb. 11, 1752, had to wait until Feb. 22, 1753 to attain his majority. Calendar reforms are frequently proposed.

Race The Jewish New Year in 1952 will begin at sunset Sept. 19, and the Mohammedan year starts just 24 hours later. In both cases the celebration is largely religious. Celebrations probably would remain the same regardless of the day New Year's Day is celebrated all over the world, no matter whether it is Jan. 1, Sept. 19 or the vernal equinox. All religions observe the start of a new year with prayer and services. Find Fossils After 30 Years horses would change their birthday because they always add a year or Jan. 1.
