Scholar Believes Trees’ Rings May Predict Climate Arizona Observatory Pro- | fessor Carries Records Back to 700 A.D. By the Associated Press. ‘TUCSON, Ariz., April 7—Dr. Andrew E. Douglass, director of Steward Ob- servatory at the University of Arizona, today said accurate prediction of cli matic conditions may become possible through study of growth rings in trees. ‘Through three decades Dr. Douglass has translated the story of weather conditions in the past as told by tree rings, and has discovered what he be- lieves are relationships between tree | rings and sun spot cycles. Dr. Douglass in 1901 conceived the idea of tree ring study and in 1904 began developing it in his spare time. During the intervening years he has used tree rings as a substitute for a telescope in making calculations of the sun’s effect on the climate of the earth. The study of solar variations in com- |' parison with tree ring growths checked up nicely, he said, except for a period at about 1700, at which point the record seemed aobscure. The cross-dating has been accom- plished as far back as 700 A.D., “buf says Dr. Douglass, “I am not stopping.’ He looks upon tree ring investigation as the first precise extension of na ural_records to_any_lel CLAFLIN Optician—Optometrist 922 14th St. N.W.
