Society had uncovered the ruins of
Pueblo Bonito in New Mexico, one OF
Americas earliest apartment houses.
Many interesting things were learned
about the customs and culture OF the
$500 people who once occupied the great
structure. but the date at which they
flourished remained secret. Some OF
the old beams used in supporting the
roof were well preserved, and when
sawed showed characteristic rings. The
idea was conceived of tracing tree
ling calendar back from the present to
the days when Pueblo Bonito's beams
were growing.
THE work has been in charge of DR..
Albert E. Douglass of the University of
Arizona. and has progressed SO FAR that
two unbroken sequences of rings have
been assembled. one reaching back from
the present to the year 1860: the other
prehistoric sequence of six centuries
The latter group includes the tree rings
from Pueblo Bonito. Checks through
pottery and other sources lead the in
ycstigators to believe that the gap sep
arating the two series is only about $50
wears wide and that beams from GER
tain area Will close this unknown space.

BLUE MOLD" is KILLING
HORSES IN CONNECTICUT
Growth That Forms in Grass Dur
ing Wet Weather Blamed by
Veterinarians.

NORWICH. Conn. Ap.-Veterinarians
examining the myStifying deaths of
farm horses in this region have con-
cluded the animals we're poisoned by
blue mold" a growth that forms in
grass during a protracted season Of wet
weather.
The mold causes depression Of the
heart and of the central nervous sys-
tenn. Horses in the first stage stagger
about to find something on which to
lean their head. If the quantity Of
moldy grass eaten is considerable
death is likely to follow a period Of
illness. More frequently the animal
has to be slain.
Early medical attention. the vet-
erinarians say, will save an affected
horse. Farmers are advised to keep
horses out of the pasture until 1t Is dry.

MACDONALD is
DISTURBED IN
LONDON REPORT
Rumor of Resignation Is
Denied by Spokesman
for Premier.
BY JOSEPH GORDON
United Press stan Correspondent

OTTAWA, Ont, Oct. 19.-James
Ramsay Macdonald, prime minis
ter of Great Britain, rested today
at the country home Of Mckenzie
King, prime minister of Canada,
with the most strenuous part of
his trip to the North American
continent behind him, but with
much real work ahead of him.
A fortnight hence he will be back
at 10 Downing street, the traditional
home Of prime ministers, where his
task of helping the world to certified
peace through naval disarmament
and parity is to be carried on.
The spokesman for the MacDon-
aid party was disturbed visibly by
two runors, both of which came in
dispatches from London. One was
that the prime minister would resign
shortly after MS return to London.
The other was that Miss IShbel
Macdonald, the prime minister's
daughter, was engaged to Lord
Arnold, one of the three bachelor
peers elevated by Macdonald when
he was premier in 1924. Lord Arm
old is an unofficial member of the
party.
Both rumors were denied uncondi-
tionally. The prime minister, it was
said for him, prays only that he may
have the health to continue to see
the conclusion he seeks in his efforts
for world peace.
The prime minister's party will
rest today and Sunday, with motor
trips arranged privately through the
beautiful Gatineau hills. The party
leaves Sunday night for Montreal,
spends Tuesday and Wednesday in
the wilderness near Chicoutimi.
Thursday and Friday in Quebec,
sailing Friday night.
