TTTF ATLANTA GEORG TAN \ND NEWS ‘Straight Phosphate' Details Completed Mrs. Eaton Asks State Powders Real Waste For Band Concert To Pay Her for Trial BACK TO THE 0L0-T1ME How Atlanta nas gone back to the • Id-time water power is told In a triking statement issued Tuesday by H. M. Atkinson, head of the Tallulah Falls Water Power Development of he Georgia Railway and Power Com- •any. A score of years ago the power vould have b*en applied directly. Mr. \tkinson, in hia statement, describes io\v the water power is converted nto electric energy and conveyed to \tlanta and o{her points, four of the generators alone developing more ban 68,000 horsepower. Mr. Atkinson is highly gratified ?ver 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- terprlse 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 has been one of the dryest for several years, but notwithstanding this fact the output of the 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 which 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 water shed and also 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 lias dropped its flow very little in this time, and is still amounting to 50 per cent 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 be ample water in the Tallulah River for the 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 “W are" that have been intermittently waged in the last twenty years, one point has been overlooked. The question of keeping quality, and therefore effi ciency in raising bread, the only pur pose for which baking powder is used, appears to have been generally ig nored. There are many powders which, when fresh, t^nd the can is first uncovered, will do fairly good 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 i» especially true in case of the so-called “Straight Phos phate” powders. The housewife to whom economy is an object will avoid these “Straight Phosphate" powders. George H. Hubbert, manager of the famous Ellery Band, which begins an engagement Friday night under the auspices of the Atlanta Musical Fes tival Association, waws in the city Tuesday making final arrangements. He brought with him news of the great success the band has met with in its tour of other Southern cities, and was certain Atlantans will be greatly pleased. The Ellery Band is one of the foremost musical organ izations in the country. It will ap pear here for the first time at the Auditorium. Rockefeller Beats E. Hubbard at Golf BOSTON MASS.. Dec 9.
