TIT! 7 ! ATLANTA GEORGIAN AND NEWS
ITS m GONE
BUCK TO THE OLD-TIME
WATER POWER SYSTEM
Straight Phosphate' Details Completed
Powders Real Waste For Band Concert
How Atlanta has none back to the
old-time water power is told in a
striking statement issued Tuesday by
H M. Atkinson, head of the Tallulah
(•’alls Water Power Development of
the Georgia Railway and Power Com
pany.
A score of years ago the power
would have been applied directly. Mr.
Atkinson, in his statement, describes
how the water power i» converted
into electric energy and conveyed to
Atlanta and oth#r points, four of the
generators alone developing more
than 68,000 horsepower.
Mr. Atkinson is highly gratified
over the outcome of the development
work at Tallulah Falls, and declares
that its success is much beyond his
expectations. Unfavorable weather
conditions failed to dim the Impres
sive showing.
Efficiency Determined.
The promoters of the gigantic en
terprise have been able to get a thor
ough idea of the efficiency of the new
power plant's operation in the nearly
three months that power has been
furnished customers.
Here is Mr. Atkinson’s statement:
“The Tallulah Falls Water Power
Development of the Georgia Railway
and Power Company now is practi
cally completed. Four of the genera
tors, aggregating 68,000 horsepower,
are in operation and the fifth will be
ready for operation in a few days.
These generators have a capacity of
over 17,000 horsepower each and to
gether aggregate 85,000 horsepower.
“The plant has been in commercial
operation, furnishing power to its
customers, since September 24. The
results obtained so far have been
gratifying to everyone concerned, as
they indicate that much more can be
expected from the Tallulah River
than was estimated. This autumn
ha^been one of the dryeat for several
years, but not withstanding this fact
the output of tlie plant has been
largely in excess of the estimates.
This result is being obtained without
the Mathis storage reservoir. Had
this storage been available this au
tumn the amount of power would
have been 50 per cent more than the
estimate upon w hich the construction
of the plant was undertaken. It is
estimated that the Mathis storage
'dam and reservoir will be completed
In February.
Steady Flow of Water.
“The actual results of operation
during the past two months prove
that the Tallulah River has the un
usual advantage of a steady flow of
water during the dry season, this be
ing due partly to its heavily timbered
w ater shed and-a iso the fact that It Is
fed by many permanent springs.
There has been no rain of conse
quence for about two months, yet the
river has dropped its flow very little
in this time, and is still amounting to
50 per ce»t more than the estimates
upon which the construction of the
plant was based.
•The experience of this dry period
has also proved that the Mathis stor
age reservoir is only necessary during
times of protracted drouth, and that
at all other times there will l§e ample
water in the Tallulah River for thP
full output of the plant. The entire
experience of the last two months of
operation of the plant, during the
dryest period of the year, has been
most gratifying and has demonstrated
beyond dispute that the plant will be
a great success and will exceed all
the predictions of its builders."
In all the Baking Powder “Wars’'
that have been Intermittently waged
in the last twenty years, one point hat
been overlooked. The question of
keeping quality, and therefore effl-
i ciency in raising bread, the only pur-
I pose for which baking powder is used,
appears to have been generally ig-
| nored. There are many powders
I wnich. when fresh, and the can is
I first uncovered, will do fairly good
I work, but after standing for some
time on the pantry shelf the powder
becomes so weak as to be almost
worthless so far as raising bread Is
concerned. This is especially true In
case of the so-called “Straight Phos
phate" powders.
The housewife to whom economy is
an object will avoid these “Straighi
Phosphate" powders.

Buying Bookkeeping
The other day a man said he had
no use for an adding- machine be
cause—“my bookkeeper wouldn’t
have enough work to do.”
Just think what that man said.
He is trying to do his work in the
slowest way he can, just to keep a
bookkeeper busy.
The thing for him to do is to cut
down the amount of work that the
bookkeeper is doing, and then give
the bookkeeper some other work
that would be sales-producing—
more profitable to him and the
bookkeeper.
Of course you see the point-
write or phone for a demonstration.
