THE scientist and the vageret the same answer to the question of drought.

Untaught New Mexico Indians and the highly educated winner of the

Nobel Chemistry Prize, Dr Irving Langmuir, are rain- makers. And they use es- sentially the same method. For centuries, the Pueblo Indian tribes have perform- ed ceremonial rain dances. It has often surprised white spectators that rain falls Some shortly afterwards. few observant visitors noted that when the rain came, it followed the building of small fire into which silver ornaments were tossed sacrifices to the Thunder- bird, the Indian rain`god.

Now science can explain why this procedure will produce rain ono time out of three. What the sllyer articles are thrown into the dre to melt, certain purities in

in the crude metal are vaporised and carried upward by the rising column, of heated air. The impurities contain silver lodides which "sced" the clouds. Around the lodide particles, Ice soon forms. Heat is released and the clouds begin to grow. Soon

One boy did it this way. On his walk to school cach day he crossed a road called "Fort Island." He wondered about the name.

square miles of New Mexico desert. ̈Using less than 20 dollars worth of silver iodide, the experimchit produced rainfall estimated at a total of 320 billion gallons.

Whather experts predict that this method of "seeding" clouds with silver lodide vaporised by a simple inexpensive amoke generator will certainly replace the older method of dropping dry ice pellets from aeroplanes. The iodide method is far less costly and has been more sut- cessful.

If weather conditions wore the same all over the United States, Doctor Langmuir estimated that $200

worth of silver iodide smoke would double the day's rainfall for the entire country. How Important this discovery may become to great cities with water supply problems, sections stricken with drought is not hard, to imagine.

" said Mother Goose.

"Shush," said, mother GoosO with a smile, "it's no heavier than that's a dozen lolly-pops. For all that is in the valise, Simon! Come along and stop malding so much noise!"

At that moment, Mother Goosko and Simon saw Knarf and Hanid. Simon Instantly dropped the valine to run up to them, and shake their hands,

"You're just in time to help me carry this valise to the traini" he said eagerly.

After Mother Goose gave Knarf and Hanid a hug and a kiss, she said: "Yes, my dears, I'm going

little trip. Simon evidently doesn't care to take my valise to 1310 train.."

"Oh, I don't mind!" Simon erled. "It's only that. It weighs 10 much."

Knart and Hanid said they would be glad to help. So they all took turns carrying the vallsė, while Mother Goose explained to Knant and Hanid where her trip would take her."
