TREE RINGS SOLVE
 ANCIENT RIDDLES
Scientist Perfects "WOOd= en Calendar Reaching
 Twelve Centuries

Pushing the horizons of Ameri- can history back seven centuries before the coming of Columbus, solving puzzles of ancient Indian ruins in the southwest, revealing tense dramas in the lives of pre- historic men, and adding valuable information to out knowledge of weather and it's mysterious cycles. a 1200-year tree-ring calendar has been pieced together by Dr And rev F.. Douglass, of the University of Arizona, at Tucson.
 So important Is his work that he has just been awarded the $25O0 Research Corporation prize by the Smithsonian institution, at Wash ington, D. c. One of the most dra- matic results of his thirty-year study of tree-rings was discovering the exact age of Pueblo Bonito, the mysterious metropolis of the ancient southwest. Found in the Chico can- yon of New Mexico, this oldest Pueblo ruin had been an archeo- logical enigma for generations. It's prehistoric inhabitants had no writ ten language and they left no call endars.
 Dr Douglass. however, has read their secrets in wood and charcoal that once were beams In the ancient dwellings. He found the city was under construction in A. D. 919 and reached it's heyday in 1067. writes Andrew R. Boone in the Septem Der Popular Science Monthly.
 Similarly, by making microscopic examinations of ancient timbers in other ruins and by boring cores from beams still In use, he has dated sixty other communities in which early tribes once made their homes. Among these are the can- yon palaces of the ancient Arizona cliff dwelers, one of which. it's tim bers reveal. was being built in 1066, the year William the conqueror in- vaded the British Isles
 It was an investigation Of sun spots that led Dr Douglass. an astronomer. to his unique study of woods. in 1901. As everyone knows, each ring in the cross section of a log represents year of growth. In addition. the width of the ring varies according to the amount of rainfall. Thus the astrOnomer was able to note the effect of eleven year sun spot cycles on rain and drought by examining the rings of century-old pines and Douglas frs.
 Continuing his researches. he studied beams that had been shaped by stone txes centuries before the coming of the white man, and charred timbers dug from the old est ruins. Tn the end. by overlap ping specimens and matching rings. he pieced together a remark able wooden calendar that reaches. in unbroken line, back to A. D. 700.
