Two cclipses will come this month, a total eclipse of the moon on the 15th which will be visible through- out the United States and a total clipse of the sun which will be| scen in parts ot Europe and Asia. A third event of astronomical inter- st will be the close approach of -Winnecke's comet on the 21st. The Lunar eclipse will begin at 43 a. m., central standard time, 15 when the moon enters the ! bra of the earth’s shadow. A lurk notch will appear on the east limb of the moon gradually over- spreading it until the eclipse be- comes total at 2:14 a. m. Totality ends at 2:35 and at 4:06 a. m. the moon will be entirely out of the shadow. Plioto by Johnson & Peterson MISS ANTRID L. JOHNSON V. B.
