THREE RINGS MAY
 DIVULGE SECRETS
Date Of Old Indian Civilization
 Being Sought

Flagstaff, Ariz., Aug. 20 CP)-The science of astronomy and botany are conspiring to release a secret locked in the decayed heart of an ancient Indian civilization in this region for perhaps hundreds of years.
 The secret Is the date on which the Indian kivas (Hopl for sacred cbamher") were built, a fact to be learned through a study of solar activity and the growth of trees.
 Five Centuries of Climate
 pr. F. A. Douglass, director of the Steward Observatory here and pro- lessor of astronomy at the University of Arizona, years ago began study of the rings found in tree trunks with view among other things, 10 determining the age of the kivas. To date he has found recorded in the trees' annual rings" Q history of climatic changes over period of five centuries. This chronicle tallies with astronomical observations of solar activity for the period.
 His studies have taken him during the last twenty years to England, Norway, Sweden, Prussia, Austria, Bavaria and the states of Oregon, California and Arizona. His interest in prehistoric ruins was aroused by observation of the climatic condi- tions under which the yellow pine, common in the western Rockies. was growing.
