WAFER POWER COMING BACK
White Coal is Cheaper than Black
Coal

One Of the inevitable results Of the
high price of coal will be the develop
ment of hydro electric energy wherev-
er the opportunity is good in the Uni
ted States. There are hundreds OF
spots in the east where water power
was utilized in former days, but where
the water wheel was abandoned be-
cause coal was so cheap that it no
longer. was profitable to employ the
power Of the streams. Now the con-
ditions have changed and once more
water power is almost certain TO
come back" particularly in sections
OF the country where it is possible TO
lmpound considerable quantities OF
water without great cost ard where
it does not freeze so hard in winter as
to cause a suspension Of operations.
in France the government Is en-
gagged on various projects for the Uti-
lization Of tidal waters in streams
where the rise and fall is very great.
In one of the rivers where the tidal
rise is more than 20 feet, it is pro-
posed to generate power on both the
Inflow and the outflow and supply
isht, heat and energy for large ter
ritory thereabout.
There Is no such tide in this coun-
try. In the Gulf Of Mexico the tide is
inconsequential. ranging from IS to
"a inches. In New York it Is about
six feet. On the Main coast it is about
eight feet.
Up in Canada the Atlantic tide is
something to talk about. particularly
in the Bay of Fundy. There the tide
is about 40 feet and that region boasts
one of the wonders of the world In a
reversible waterfall, the waters tumb-
ing over one side Of rocky obstruc-
;ion as the tide comes IN and over the
other side as the tide goes out.
Hydro-electric engineers are In more
demand these days than they have
been for years and more serious atten-
ton is being given to water projects
than ever before. Before long the in
resting public is likely to have q lot
of literature from bankers specialize
ing in this department of enterprise
and development.
Water power projects require lot
of money One deterrent is that the
investment is total before there is any
return. On the other hand, there Is
little expense for upkeep once the
work is done. Nature doesn't charge

TENNESSEE JURY PRAYS
Before Deciding Fate Of '15-Year- OLD
Slayer.


Iscac Shivers, flftecn-year-old slay-
er of Squire T. ar. Parr, left Nashville
Thursday to begin serving his ten
year term for manslaughter. He Will
be confined in the state training ana
agriculture school for boys.
: Selection of a. jury and trials OF the
case lasted eleven days, the verdict
coming Saturday.
For the first time, perhaps, in the
history of Shelby county, members OF
a jury bowed in prayer before deliber-
ating on a verdict in the Shirers trial.
Gentlemen, this Is n serious case:

us in returning verdict" one men,

prayer and ask Divine guidance"
Patrick Boyle, devout chnrchman, is
said to have complied with the jurors
request to lead the prayer. A verdict
was reached soon after the prayer.
Shivers Tuesday withdrew his ap-
peal and was formally sentenced.

mined not to give that promise. The
court was firm also, but Judge Stump
waited patiently at first. Then the
court became little peeved. Mrs.

she wept and denounced the whole
proceedings. She began to get hys-
terical and when the court attendants
started to lead her from the chair to
the judges bench, at the courts be-
hest the little daughter ran up to
them and shouted:
you let my mamma alone"
Finally Judge Stump told her law
yers to take her into the ante-room
and to persuade her to make the
promise or she would go to Jail. After
five minutes more . she reappeared
from the judges chambers and stand
ing before the desk, promised not to
hit Mr.. .Stocksdale again.

How Billiard Balls Are Made.-OnlS
three billiard balls can be made from
the average elephant tusk. This is
because each tusk is hollow for about
two-thirds of its; length starting at
the base.
After being rouShed out, billiard
balls are put away and allowed to sea
son for two years before being finish
ed.
In spite OF the utmost care. it is im'
possible to turn out two balls Of ex.
nctly the same size and weight.
A tiny nerve extends through the
center of a tusk.
In one white ball of each set. this
nerve center is drilled for a short dis
tance on both sides Of the ball, and ir
these holes ebony plugs of the same
weight as the removed ivory. are
driven.
This ball is called the "spot BALI
and is used by one played throughout
the game as q cue ball.
A billiard cue is composed of two
woods.
The TOP is maple, the bottom is oi
ebony, rosewood, cocobolo, or some
other very heavy wood, which gives il
extra weight.
The tip Of the cue is made from Sc
lected hide from the cheek Of calf.

Mr.. Geer stated that there was no un-
