Rain-Makers
By Frederick C. Othman
WASHINGTON, Jan. 7—Hurry and you can get the raincoat concession in the California desert. I'm going into the umbrella business, myself, and for the New York trade I'm putting in a line of arks. It looks like rain as it never has rained before. I'm not trying to spoof the scientific Senators, Joseph C. O'Mahoney of Wyoming and Sheridan Downey of California, either. This country in their opinion is too dry; they would spend $50 million as a starter to make it wetter. The former put on his prince nez with the black silk ribbon, the latter poked a large cigar into his mouth and they got down to cases about Senate bill 8. 1300, which would pump drinking water from the ocean and also cause it to rain where it seldom has rained before,
Here's the Senator's Plan FIRST, LET'S consider how to make the rains
come: Shooting dry ice into clouds from airplanes fsn't such a hot idea because as often as not nothing wet occurs, A better idea, according to Sen. D, is to line up a battery of smoke generators on the windward side of a mountain range. These would spew out a mist of. silver chloride. I wondered if this would cause people to cough, like smog, but the Senator said he didn't think 80. So the wind would pick up the chemical mist, send it scudding up the mountainside and cause it to collide with whatever rain clouds were at the top. Raindrops would collect about the trillions (Sen. Downey's figure) of silver particles and the resultant rainfall would be twice as heavy as normal. Maybe four times as heavy. Turning loose the smudge pots in a place like New York, Sen. O'Mahoney observed, probably would cause a deluge. Ben. Downey said he was being facetious and I got to thinking that maybe this rain would | taste like old hypo in a photog-

rapher’'s darkroom. The gentleman from California said he didn’t think so, but that I'd better ask Dr. Irving P. Krick, the Pasddena, Cal, meteorologist, who thought up the idea. Only trouble is that Dr. Krick momentarily is in Mexico making rain and he's about to head for Spain for more of the same. He'll be here soon, though, to tell the lawgivers how to smoke out cloudbursts. The other part of § 1300 is Sen. O'Mahoney's idea. This has to do with pumping sea water! taking out the gold, magnesium, and other byproducts, and sending the resultant H20 to the water taps. The Navy made sea water fresh during the war by a silver salt process. This was fine for shipwrecked sailors and nobody | begrudged the price, but it cost like sin.
Black Bottoms Buckle | “AND THEN,” said Sen. ‘O'Mahoney, “they tried distilling ocean water in the laboratory.! When the steam was condensed, it made pure drinking water. Thén they went to the Virgin Islands where they had the idea that the hot tropic sun would do the job. They built a series of shallow roof tans, with black ttoms, to absorb the heat.” They pumped in the salt water and, boy, what a mess; The Senator said the black bottom! buckled in the heat and spewed salt water around the neighborhood. Now they're working on better, black bottoms. So the $50 million would be used to speed: the good work, and if the government got any| drinking water and/or gold from the ocean Uncle | Sam - would retain control. As amended by the! senatorial rainmaker from California the bill would use some of the money to dust the clowis | with silver. 1 . But the government wouldn't retain title to »
