Italians Lionize
u. S. Rain Maker
DR.. c. M. Hatfield Is Hero,
Following Torrential
Downpour.

ROME, Aug. 31.-Dr. c. NJ. Hat
field, the American rainmaker, is a
bigger hero in Italy than Gabrielle
tial downpour in Southern Italy
after four months of torrid drought.
Hatfield came to Italy a couple
of weeks ago with his apparatus for
making IL rain and established
headquarters at Naples. Then he
disappeared and even the American
Embassy was not aware of his
whereabouts.
But the sudden heavy precipita-
tion, dissipating the intense heat
wave and giving welcome rain
everywhere, Is accredited to Hat
field. Newspapers are giving COL
umns of space to the phenomenon.
In 1905. Southern California, en-
tering upon the second year of a
costly drought, was thrown into a
state midway between skepticism
and hope when Ia:t'6't, who Wa.
experimenting IN the Altadena foot
hills, announced he conld make u

tween December - and May 1.
