STATE HIGHWAYS
 CLEARED OF SNOW
All Roads Open This Morning;
 Commissioner Reports

Following yesterdays first snow fall of the winter season, all of Connecticut's trunklinc and state highways were cleared Of the snow and opened for traffic in both diroc- lions at an carly hour this morn ing. according to a statement issusd by Highway Commissioner John A. Macdonald
 More than 900 motor trucs g equipped with blows and each bear ing crews of half d dozen men armed with shoVels were employed in tho task of freeing the highways of the snow, which 'aried in depth from there and one-half to seven inches. The first of the trucks began the attack on the heavy, wet fall shortly after three o'clock yesterday after noon and by six o'clock highway crews from every district headquar- ters and garage in the state were aI work.
 The highway department encoun- tered the worst conditions in Litch- field and MiddleseX counties where the snow reached it's greatest depth. Due to the fact that there was no high wind to cause drifts, however, the trunilinc and state aid roads la those territories were cleared almost as rapidly as those in the less severe lv hit sections of the state,
 Dangerous ice and snow conditions were found on the StrCnor grades in the state. such as the Southington and Avon Mountain roads and on Plymouth Hill in ThomaSton. Some truck crews were dispatched to sand these hills late yesterday afternoon. and after the snow had been swept from all highways in neighboring districts other crews were sent 10 assist in the work of making the grades safe for travel.
 Highway department crews in each district were to be kept on duty all through the day in order Q guard against possible ice condi- lions, drifting, etc. Commissioner Macdonald stated. Unless anothor storm should set in immediately fol- lowing yesterdays fall, he said, there will be little danger in highway travel although all motorists should exercise caution in avoiding the thin sheets Of ice which are apt to form on all roads ;n case of thaw fol- lowed by quick drop in iempcrd- turc.

Work Out Pre-Columbian Calendar 7 By Rings of Southwestern Trees;
 Finds Dates for Ancient Pueblos

make strong impressions on it's life and go into it's diary
 But in the arid regions of our Southwest, where trees are few and other vegetation scarce, the most important thing to man and trees is rainfall. This fact has helped vastly in our dating work, for cer- easily recognized from tree 10 tree. county to county even from state to state"
 From sun spots 10 tree rings seems long scientific jump. But it Illustrates how one fact of science may have far flung results in other fields. For Dr. Douglass is an as tronomcr.
 "Originally my work was study Of sun spots" he writes. Ut is known that there is a periodicity in their occurrences; they are most numerous at intervals of eleven years. As an aid in that astronomi- cal investigation, l studied trees, for solar changes affect our weather, and weather in turn affects the trees in Arizona's dry climate, as else where.
 The first confirmation of our gen. eral Interpretation Of relationship between tree rings and sun-spot periods came in Il most dramatic way.
 "E,vidence of the eleven year sUn- spot cycle had been easily found in Arizona pine trees. The regularly recurring periods had been recorded for 500 years by tree rings. except for the interval from 1850 to 1725. During that 75 years the tree rings gave no evidence Of periodical changes in the weather such as were to be expected.
 Several years after we had en- countercd this puzzlng fact the late Dr. F.: Walter Maundcr. an eminent English astronomer. unaware of my findings, wrote to me that he had discovered that there were no sun spots between IG4j and 17l5. and that if my tree rings did not indicate some effect Of this absence Of sun spots, my work was being conducted on an erroneous hypothesis.
 "The coincidence between the fail urc of Arizona trees 10 register any Sun-spot effect upon the weather during those years. and cstablish- ment of the fact, by entirely indc- pendent study. that the customary sun-spot cycle did not occur during approximately the same period of ship between the growth of trees an solar changes"
