Last but not least comes the lowly
Beverage team which finished the
season with a record Of only one game.
This team though not in the class OF
the other teams, went through the en-
tire season, adding very few players
outside of the original 10 players first
listed when the league was organized.
Much credit must be given this team
for their sticking power to stay in a
league although losing game after
game; they were always on hand for
the next encounter.
The team won two games but one
was protested and forfeited to the op.
posing team. The Beverages won one
game in the last round, winning from
the STAIRS. Their opponents largely
outscored them, making a total of 345
points to the Beverages 142.

q wide field for speculation and imagination,

when we were young--how they built and ran
''tide naill," overcoming all manner Of obsta-
cles, as only the boys Of Trowbridge and Oliver
Optic could. Their tide mill was diminutive
thing. 1t didn't develop much horsepower. 1t
couldn't be classed as much Of an achievement,

bered when they had grown to the estate of

Why NOT Harness Tides
To Do Mon's Work?

Common Man sees the tides rising and fall
ing with great regularity every day over
boundless extent Of ocean front - in some
places only few feet--in others, DO, so or so
feet-he knows that the tide mill of the Tink-
ham brothers wasn't purely fictitious and that
similar mills are in successful operation the
world over--he doesn't see why the thing can't
be done on big scale as well as on q small
ono-why millions and millions OF horsepower
cannot be developed In no end Of places-and
he thinks the engineering profession "dead
slow" that It doesn't harness up this inexhaust-
ible supply and feed it out co him as cheap
power to run his factory, operate his trolley
cars and heat his house. He wants to be rid
of the perpetual menace Of coal strikes and to
be free from the domination of labor unions
and coal barons, and he blames the engineer
for his neglect Of so obvious an opportunity TO
do something really worth while.
But the engineer knows all about these little
tide mills, and only shrugs his professional
shoulders whenever the subject bobs up. He
isn't yet ready to admit that, just because the
thing has been successful in small way, it
will be equally successful on a large scale
and he has good reasons
Common Man shouldn't lay all the blame on
the engineer either. To prove this, let him Sc
lect the very best site the world affords for
the building Of such mill in large way
where the tide rises and falls-the very maxi
num-where there is good market for every
kilowatt of energy he can produce Let him
have plans and specifications and estimates
made galore by the best experts he can select,
let them figure out to their entire satisfaction
that they can develop oodles of horsepower at
small cost, and that there is a barrel Of
money In it for everybody. Then let him ask
any banker in this Or any other country to
underwrite the enterprise, and Common Man
will retire from the field sadder but wiser
man.

France, Short of Cool,
Takes Tide Seriously

On the southern coast Of England, along the
British Channel and Bristol Bay, the tide
range is great affording excellent oppor-
tunity for experimenting under favorable CON-
ditions. 1t Is just possible Great Britain might
have fallen for trial. but about that time
France came to the front I don't know
whether the "buck" was actually passed across
the Channel or not. At any rate, France ac-
cepted the gage, and has agreed to be the
goat" On the result Of the big-scale expert
Inents she now proposes to try will depend the
future Of this age-old idea. Perhaps one rea-
son why this country SHE'D off on tide power
development is that we have no scarcity Of
coal, nor are likely to have for centuries. Per-
haps the same may be said Of Great Britain.
Perhaps, too the reason why France has ac-
cepted the gage is that she is rather poorly off
for that commodity.

French Concessions Granted
To Tide-Po1Oer Plants

The French government has also granted
several other concessions for tide power plants.
Along It's northern coast the tide-rse In
creases from approximately twenty-six feet at
Brest to thirty-three feet at Boulogne to fifty
feet at the Bay Of Mont St, Michel At the
latter place concession has been granted to
q company which announces that, with the aid
Of the government it will develop 100000
kilowatts year at an expense Of 2,000,0 900
francs, and that it proposes to use this en-
ergy to electrify the Etat Railway and other
industries Of Brittany.
Years Of trial and experience IN tide mills
have not been altogether in vain, for they have
taught engineers that, in addition to q con-
venient estuary capable of being damned, thus
creating a large tidal reservoir at a point
where the rise and fall Of the tide is great,
there must be provided secondary high-level
storage reservoir so situated that it will sup
ply water to the tide-operated turbines at
times of slack tides which occur every day. An
ideal reservoir of this kind would be one fed
automatically by the fresh water of some large
entering stream. This condition, however. is
seldom met with, for as rule large rivers
enter the ocean through miles Of low, fiat
country, making the construction of high-level
reservoirs out Of the question on account Of
the expense.
