~2O,'3S,341 males of available military
age in the United States. This number
has probably increased to 25,COO,O 900 in
the last six years. The adjutant gem

To Harness Eundy Tide,

st. John, y. r.. Aug. S.--A develop
ment company has begun a prclimi-
nary survey on Il project designed to
get power from the tides of the bay
of Fundy. 1t is claimed that a motor
has been developed which can use the
tide current in both directions. An
American engineer is in charge of the
work.
1t is another effort-and perhaps a
successful Onc-tO solve a problem
which has fascinated engineers for
generations. Next to the sunshine in
the desert, the tides are the worlds
greatest stores of unused power. and
the bay of Fundy is a vcritable tidal
treasure house. The spring tides at
the head Of that hay often rise seventy
feet above low water mark. 1t has
been estimated that if harnesScd they
would yield more power than all the
coal mined in the United States. vet
they sweep to and fro as unhampercd
as in the days when only the red men
watched their rise and fall.

Such stock it is usually advisable to

Pure bred dairy cattle have for gen

times. as shown by the herd records
of pure bred owners.
From the standpoint of offspring the
pure bred is vastly superior to the
scrub. Dairymen generally have come
to recognize the producing powers Of
