Sun to Cross Equator With Spring's Advent Tomorrow Afternoon
Vernal Equinox Due to Arrive at 3:45, Will Bring Equal Days and Nights

Washington, March 13 - Winter will be over; spring will arrive, at 3:45 p.m. (m eastern standard time) on Tuesday, Mar 29. So forecasts see by a n astronaut of the Nautical Almanac Office. Naval Observatory here.
No particular event that is evident to the haylman occurs at that time to indicate that the winter season has gone into history. So far as our daily observations are concerned, we seem just the same at 3:46 p. m., on the twentieth, at as 3:43. If it were not for accurate observations of the man's position day after day that are made at the Naval Observatory, the seasons could not be set so precisely.
What happens on March 29, chosen by astronomers as the conventional beginning of spring, is that the sun crosses the equator on its northward journey. During the course of the year the sun makes a complete eclipse in June, reaching a point 23 degrees north of the equator, and in December, the same distance south. Now it is traveling to the northernmost part of its path, and on the twentieth, it will be halfway there. As the sun then rises at 6 a.m. and sets at 6 p.m., it moves outwards at equal length. That is why the evening is referred to as the "vertical equinox."
Another way of expressing what happens at 3:45 p. m., March 29 is to say that the sun enters the sign of Aries. In the days when astronomers were all astrologers, before the time that belief in the influence of the sun was widely discredited, as it is now, the position of the sun in the heavens was supposed to exert some effect on people horn them. Accordingly, the entire path of the sun, or zodiac, was divided into 12 signs, or houses. They were the same as the names of the signs of the sun that the sun was located at the moment.
There is a gradual turn of the earth's axis, however, that takes place in 25,000 years. During this time, the constellations seem to slip one around the zodiac, so that now the constellation Aries actually, when the sun enters the sign of Aries, it is in the constellation of Pisces, the fishes.

Professor Kolgou has paid particular attention to stamps on which buildings are portrayed. His collection of this type of stamp is mounted on cards to accentile their handling and reassuring of the stamps run through all of architecture in many countries.

Roman architecture is not very commonly exhibited on stamps. The new Italian government under Mussolini is remembering the however, as several of its projects are being used for their subjects. The French are also beginning to make use of postage stamps as a means of imminentating their public structure. The Rheims are building them and the French are on stamps which have already been put in circulation.
