Chicago. (U.R) Richard R.
Cook's office hasn't been dusted
in weeks. And he's proud of it.
Cook, president of ; an elec

i gadget which he believes will be
a boon to housewives and hay
fever sufferers. .
It takes dust and pollen out of

Cook, a grey-haired executive
who works, in his shirt sleeves,

around.
Elaborate Gadget
"And the cleaning woman
hasn't been in here in weeks,"
he said. ,"She might come in
once a month."
Cook has a more elaborate
gadget installed in his home in
suburban. Evanston. It's hooked
up to the warm air heating sys
tem, and it "keeps the whole
house dust free," he said.
His wife hasn't had the cur
tains cleaned in the three years

In Owyhee District

contract . has I been signed yes
terday between the North - Am
erican Weather ; Consultants of
Alta Dena, Calif., and the Owy
hee irrigation district for a cloud
seeding .operation in the Owyhee
irrigation district. r
Paul House, water district
board of control manager, said
the seeding would begin im
mediately.. Consultants already
have been set up 22 generators
in the watershed area which will
seed clouds with silver iodide
to produce snow, and rain. , '
The cloud-seeders claim they
can increase snow in higer ele
vations and rain in lower, from
20 to 50 per cent. Cost for seed
ing the 100,000-acre area will
be about 80 cents an' acre, House
estimated.

and three of his four children

"We, used to spend . a lot of
money , on trips, tov get , away
from - the pollen,". Cook said.
"Now. we find it unnecessary."
Filters Dust From Air , V .
Cook's device filters dust from
the ajr electrostatically. A fan
blows the air through : slits in a
series of eight aluminum plates.
The plates are, alternately
charged, one positive and : the
next, negative.
- The j magnetic fields thus set
up cause the dust to adhere to
the plates. .
Coke began tinkering with.the
gadget in 1940. By 1951, he said,
his firm had made 155 experi
mental models, but each gave
off a certain amount : of ozone:
V "Most people think ; ozone is
healthful," he i said.. '?But , it's
more poisonous than the carbon
monoxide fumes : from your
car." . ---y -.-::p. ::
It: wasn't until 1951,' he said,
that the firm developed a model
which gave off no ozone?- '
Cook - said his first perfected
models were distributed through
doctors "to chronic hay fever
sufferers. . - : : . . i ; :'. v
