'Let The White Man Make Hay; Indians Can Make The Rain'
Albuquerque, N.M.—(U.P.)—A Navajo Indian had crossed theories today with a modern scientist over the prevailing problem of how to make rain.
And the Indian—Silversmith John B. Johnson—was not too much impressed.
Johnson, whose Indian name "Dahe," traveled to Albuquerque yesterday to watch at first hand a snow-making experiment by Dr. E. J. Workman, president of the New Mexico School of Mines, and S. E. Reynolds, director of the school's thunderstorm laboratory.
Johnson puttered around the scientists' rain-making machine in an Albuquerque hotel during a demonstration of man-made rain and snow. When Reynolds sowed an artificial cloud (made by breathing into the super-cooled machine) with dry ice, a miniature stormseen resulted.
Chief Dae grunted: "It's raining outside at this moment in great drops. Who can say that is not the work of an Indian rain-maker?"
After Dr. Workman argued that scientific methods of rain-making were proved last summer when heavy rainfall was brought about in northern New Mexico by sowing clouds with silver iodide smoke, the Indian said:
Yocco A Potent Jungle Drink To Make One Tingle, But You Won't Get Drunk
"Looks like there is much to be done. Let the white man make hay, the Indians can make the rain."
Washington, —(U.P.)— The Smithsonian institution claims it has found a drink that will make your fingers tingle but won't make you drunk.
"Some of its effects seem little short of miraculous," the Smithsonian has reported.
The drink is Yocco. It is made from the bark of a vine which flourishes in the Amazon jungles. So far only a few small Indian tribes of Southeastern Colombia have tumbled to its powers.
Dr. Richard E. Schultes, an agriculture department plant explorer, has gathered specimens of the vine and sent them to the Smithsonian's national herbarium.
Dr. Schultes, who has drunk Yocco in the jungle "on many occasions," said it has the effect of delaying fatigue and hunger for hours.
"A tingling of the fingers and a general feeling of well-being are noticeable 10 minutes after drinking, Dr. Schultes reported. "I have made long trips through the forests and, taking nothing but Yocoe, have felt neither fatigue nor hunger."
Nor did he ever feel intoxicated. Dr. Schultes attributes the vine's power to a high concentration of caffeine in its bark.
The few Indians who know about Yocco's ability "to allay all sensations of hunger for at least 3 hours and supply muscular stimulation" save a lot on food.
They down several "snorts" of Yocco early in the morning and then, Dr. Schultes said, "eat nothing until noon."
Little Things Count, Theta Epsilon Told
It is important to follow the Golden Rule in everyday living, said Mrs. O. T. Black, patroness of Theta Epsilon, Baptist sorority Tuesday.
New officers will be elected at the next meeting, Tuesday, April 4.
A person should develop his own personality, not a superficial or imitative one, and one way to overcome difficulties in life is by being ones true self, she said.
Speaking on "Everyday Living." Mrs. Black asserted that the little things count in practicing the Golden Rule.
Women Abuse Watches
More Than Many Men Do
Elgin. Ill.—(U,P)—A woman abuses a watch more than a man does, a watchmaking expert saves.
William H. Samelius, Elgin Watchmakers College director, said the first thing he looks for when a woman complains about her watch is face powder. It clogs the movement. Also, perfume dries up the delicate lubricating oil.
He said another common fault of a woman is her habit of leaving her watch unwound until she dresses for an evening out.
Like humans, a watch needs constant exercise to keep in shape.

Newport, R. I. — (U.P.) Three young men thought they had a good thing when one of them put two dimes and a nickel into a cafe cigarette machine and got his money back with the cigarettes. They repeated 126 times and emptied the machine, all for 25 cents, but the judge called it larceny, imposed suspended sentences and ordered return of the cigarettes.
