- WOOD TO TELL AGE OF PUEBLO HOUSES Scientists to Resume Work i in New Mexico by Study- ing Tree Rings. | Scientists are working out a gigan- | tic jig-saw puzzle in the Southwest, first arching over hundreis of square miles of territory for the pieces | that nature has hidden through the | centuries. | The story of this fascinating “game” | f« wrapped up in an announcement | just ‘made by the Natonal Geo. sraphis ciety that its research com- | mittee has made an additional grant of funds to continue this Summer the | “Heam expedition” work under the | leadership of Dr. A. E. Douglas of | Steward Ohservatory, University of | Arizona No one knows the age of the inter- | esting communal dwellings, America’s | first “apartment houses,” that have | been unearthed in New Mexico. The | largest of these, Pubelo Bonito, in Chaco Canyon. has been intensivelv studied by National Geographic So- | ciety expeditions during the past six vea Much new intormation has been gathered in regard to these early Americans from the examples dis- closed of their maszonry, pottel baskets and jewelry: but no defini or they had no calendar. Secret May Be Found. Now this secret seems likely to he found out from the examination of what laymen might consider prosaic old wooden beams that supported tha flat roofs of the Bonitans Dr. Douglas found some years age | that trees in growing not only leave a ring for each year, but that often th character of the ring denotes the par. ticular vear in which it grew at is, in an unusually moist season an espe. cially wide or well marked ring wil will be left in all the trees of the | region subjected to the unusual con- ditions, If a Mving tree 400 vears old is ent | and a recent characteristic ring identi- fied, other outstanding rings made in | the tree's vouth can be dated cen turies ago These characteristic | marks may be found, in turn, among the most recent rings of an ancient log preserved in a sandbank, and so nature’s calendar may be followed back still farther. Hunt for Ancient Wood. Since the working out of this meth- 0d the scientists of the National Geo graphic Society’s Beam . expedition have been scouring the Southwest for specimens of ancient wood. have been discovered in the fo old tree stumps covered centuries by the sand and clay washed by some | extraordinary storm. Others have been found in Indian pueblos still in ! use, and still others in the ruins of ancient structures. | In every case cross-sections have been prepared and microscopic studies made. Many of the specimens, of course, have been found to cover ap proximately the same period of time but now and then a lucky find has pushed the earliest known date line of the United States a few decades or | generations farther back Sclence has not completed chronological puzzle; but, w from both ends, it has fitted ptece culture, (hln You’'ll want to stop paying rent —as soon as you have inspected this unusual “Life- time” Home at 5119 8th Street—Petworth—N.W. and realize that it can be bought for only 96,950 ..
