MODERN RAIN MAKING Wing tip of plane al- right, shown

NEW YORK Attempts to make 1 rain something New York U
about to begin in hopes of filling Its reservoirs have been going on at
least 10,000 years. Of course, it's new to spend $30,000 to seed clouds
with dry ice and chemicals to quench a city's thirst. But man's dream
of rain making is an old story,
Primitive man tried to make rain
as soon as he had crops to water.
First he tried magic. The best
rain maker of a tribe often - be
came Chief. It was a good Job,
except when he failed to bring
rain he often was killed.
Weird Rites Tried
Most of the rites hinged on
sprinkling or pouring out water.
The Omaha Indians, for Instance,
dumped water fend then sucked up
the mud and blew it from their
mouths to imitate spray. But In
Java. Australia and other places
they beat each other until blood

a bath. The Arabs used to toss
their holy man Into a pool when
they wanted rain. In South Africa

ribald songs while they cleaned

Add Spice To Your Cooking '
By ALICE DENHOFF I
AS WITH clothes, It's the extra
touch, the dash of Imagination,
that lifts food from the common-
place. Its sources are many and
varied and often hard to define,
but care and experiment are sure
to bring results. No matter how
baslo the foods, how simple the
meal. It tsnt'.too difficult to give
It both eye and palate appeal. So
let us from time to time review
the possibilities of obtaining and
adding those Important little lm
provements. . J
First of all, be creative about
seasonings and flavorings. Taste
and then taste again, is the first
rule. And a close second is be
cautious, remembering that sea
sonlngs should never be obtru
sive. They - should enhance the
flavor, not dominate It. Start with
simple items such as dry mustard.
'A little dry mustard with certain
meats or to tone up a sweet sajad
dressing; gives a wonderful tang".
It you'll add Up. dry mustard
"- a small Onion and a tbsp. molas
ses to Canned baked beans and
'bake them slowly with 2 or 3
bacon strips on top you'll have a
dish that is tops and that would
appeal to any gourmet. For there
Is nothing as good as simple food,
Buperbly prepared. ;
. Celery Seed !
Try adding a blade of mace to
spinach, putting a little celery
.' seed In your potato salad, adding
' at the last moment a little
' curry powder to an omelet,
scrambled eggs or creamed
shrimps, If you would see what a
difference a bit of unusual sea
sonlng can make. Do we ever
stop to think of using cinnamon
except In stewed fruits, pudding
sauces, cakes and cookies? Spiced
acorn squash, for Instance, Is
really something. Just cut squash
In halves, removing seeds; Brush
generously with butter or mar
garine, dust very lightly with a
mixture of cinnamon, nutmeg
and Just the least little bit of
sugar. Bake at 400 F. until done,
45 to 60 min. i
Cinnamon Is a new flavor with
beets, tod, youH find.' Just add Vt
tap. of powdered cinnamon to
each 2 c. of water used for boiling
the beets. A bit of cinnamon does
things for good old, plain old
lamb stew, as It does to Scotch
broth. But use only the merest
dash.
'Artful Seasoning
Leaving the spice shelf, let's
consider' the claim Of the Onion,
when it comes to artful season
ing." For there's scarcely a savory
dish that Isn't the better for a
bit of onion sauteed to a nice light
golden yellow, never brown.
Garlic is good, too, when prop
erly used. One clove is enough for
a whole lamb roast, and some
folks like steak rubbed with a
garlic clove before broiling. Chefs
In some of the country's finest
hotel and club restaurants rub all
steaks,, chops and broilers with a
bit of onion or garlic, and dip
them In olive oil Just before broil

pie thought helped bring rain.
These became the center Of ' the
rites. Or they might callupon their
dead. Orinoco 'Indians scattered
the ashes Of relatives a year after
death as a rain charm. s
Men also appealed to their gods.
Zeus In Greece was a rain God,
among other things, as was Jupiter
in Rome. Or they might become
angry at their gods after a long
drought. As late as 1893 In Sicily,
images of saints were turned to the
wall, stripped, thrown Into pools
arid otherwise abused,
Smoke Clouds Prescribed
South American Indians also
burned grass in a drought, think
ing the sindke Woudl rise and form
clouds. Very early men believed
that battles caused rain. This was
supposed to be due to the noise
or' to the blood and sweat evaporat
ing and forming clouds. Or the
gods were supposed to want to
cleanse the battle field.
When guns came to be used,
the smoke and concussion was
supposed to brtng rain. This was
taken seriously even in the United
States. Between 18D0 and 1893
Congress spent $19,000 trying to
make rain by sending up balloons
and kites with explosives' Some of
the experiments were near Wash
ington, but most of them were in
Texas. '
A series of dry years started' in
the United States in 1891. This set
off a wave of rain makers with
secret formulas; Frank Melbourne,
supposed to' be an Australian, Ruin
ed repute as rain maker near Can
ton, Ohio. Then Goddland, Kans,,
called him. lie set up a two-story
building and let fumes of his secret
formula escape through a vent in
the roof. It rained and he collected.
In Australia in ' 1903 fclnc was
put In sulphuric acid, Hydrogen
was thus generated in an attempt
to make rain.
"Mystery Chemicals" Used
In 1905 - Charles ' Hatfield col-
lected $i;000 for making rain in
Southern California. le released
mystery chemicals from a tower.
He operated all' over western
United States and Is even said to
have gone to Alaska. :
