In Alexandria a basement find unearthed sixteen year old boxes of rain powder once linked to a 1930 drought stunt. Dr. Walter Nicklin's Drug Store owner, Mrs. Esther Nicklin, provided a sample to the Star staff. The powder resembles cement dust and comes from Dan S Hollenga's claim of cloud rain, later forgotten.

Hollenga is appointed manager of the Queen Borough Chamber of Commerce in New York, undeterred by past efforts to bring rain with powder.
