conferences were continued in an en-
deavor to reach an accord on proposed
bylaws. Concurrent adoption of the
constitution and bylaws, which dele
gates said would be the wedding cere-
mony for the two churches" is expected
to take place Wednesday.
The constitution provides for enter
ing Of other denominations in the union,
which brings together more than 3,OO0,-
900 adherents of the two churches.
The Christian Church involved is the
one known as the Campbellite Church
and not the Christian Church generally

Issues including birth control and
companionate marriage were discussed

recommend rulings that may be in
cluded in bylaws.
The Iowa delegation submitted a reso-

gates recommended a referendum on
the issue, with those members married

ARGENTINE ENVOY
| HERE AT NEW POST
Felipe EspiI, Formerly Charge
d'Affaires, Reaches City
to Assume Duties.

BY the Associated Press.
Felipe ESpil, new Ambassador from
Argentina, arrived last night from New
York to assume his duties.
The new envoy, who has been in this
country several weeks on financial
business. made no statement other than
to express his pleasure at coming again
to the Capital, in which he served eight
years as first secretary and counselor at
the embassy, from 1919 to 1928.
ESpil succeeds Ambassador Manuel
e. Malbran. Malbran left for New
York yesterday and will sail soon for
Buenos Aires for conference with gov
eminent officials before proceeding to
his new post in London. Malbran was
appointed Ambassador to Washington
while ESpil was counselor and charge
d'afTaires, after which Espn went to
Holland as Minister.
Members of the embassy staff and
Director General Rowe of the Pan
American Union greeted the new envoy
at the station. He went directly to q
downtown hotel, where he will stay

made ready for its new tenant. He
was accompanied from New York by
Pablo Munoz, first secretary and charge

former he took his place as an out
spoken champion of the Argentine
viewpoint on international questions
with the United States at time when
tariff and embargoes on Argentine
products occupied considerable atten-
ton. In the latter he was q popular
young bachelor.
The incoming Ambassador, the sec
ond to arrive within two days, resigned
his Holland post after less than a year
to enter the banking business in Buenos

WELLESLEY BUILDING
is GIFT OF LATE GRAD
Mrs. Julia B. Shepard, Resident of
Capital, Made Request Used
for Construction.

Shepard House." the newest building
opened for occupancy in the group OF
faculty residences at Wellesley College
Wellesley, Mass, was made possible by

TRACE REMOTE AGE
| BY RINGS ON TREES
Arizona Observatory Director
Awarded Prize for DeveI-
oping> Science.
BY the Associated Press.

! BY the Associated Press.
Finding ways to date events of pre-
historic times and reconstruct weather
Of the past 1000 years has brought
special honors to an American and
Swedish scientist.
The Smithsonian Institution today
announced research corporation prizes
of $4,000 each have been awarded to
DR.. Andrew Ellicott Douglass, director
of Steward Observatory of the Univer-
sity of Arizona and DR.. Ernst AntevS
of the University of Stockholm 'for ef-
fective scientific research"
Tree Rings Show Time.
DR.. Douglass discovered that rings
marking the growth Of trees can be
used TO determine dates of events that
occurred before written history began.
He also found that the rings pictured
the climate from year to year, because
each ring varied in width in direct pro-
portion to the amount of rainfall.
DR.. AntevS made similar discoveries
about the annual deposits of clay called
"varves." A new varVe or layer was
deposited each year by water from
melting glaciers. The varves are as
good key to climates Of the past as
are tree rings. A thick varve means a
large supply of water carrying sedi-
ment, and hence plentiful sun that year
to melt the glacier from which the
water came. Thin varves indicate little
sunshine.
Rainfall Determined.
Studying tree rings, Douglass has
been able to reconstruct an unbroken
record of rainfall for each year from
the present back to TOO AID. Growth
rings of timberS of ancient pueblos en-
abled him to fix dates of events in In
dian history as far back as the eighth
century.
Rings Of trees grown in the wet cli-
mate of Northern Europe show close
relation between sunspots and weather,
DR.. Douglass found. Increasing and
diminishing rainfall there, as shown by
tree rings, corresponds with 11-year
cycles Of increasing and diminishing
sunspots or with multipleS and sub
multiples Of the cycles. Some scientists
accept this as evidence that variations
in the suns radiation influence weather.
Annual varveS that go back 1000
years without a break have been found
by Dr. Antevs in the Connecticut VAL
ley Of New England. Their varying
thickness reveals climatic variations in
that period.
