...experiments of my boyhood with the short-wave range, seeking to devise means of secret communication. We evolved the 'direction finder' for spotting the enemy's sending stations and giving our own ships their bearings. I worked out a rudimentary (compared to now) system of 'narrow-casting,' using skeleton parabolic mirrors to converge my waves in a beam, thus saving generative power and preventing messages from being diffused 'broadcast' into the enemy camp. My long-wave work also continued and in 1918 I reached Australia from Great Britain...

Three important projects are already under way to accomplish this-at Passamoquody Bay (see p. 31) inlet of the Bay of Fundy, Nova Scotia; at Sudbury on the Severn, Eng. .and at Aber-Vrach on the Brittany coast. At all three places there are long, narrow estuaries, into which tides rush with enormous energy. Water turbines, set in dams built across these arms of the sea, will whirl as the tides rush through them; and electricity will be produced. Thus progresses the ageless dream of making the ocean work...
...saves that the 1928 six was able to go through its season undefeated. Against the Dartmouth Freshmen and St. Paul, the former Middlesex luminary was especially brilliant, standing off repeated assaults to give his mates a chance to come out at the big end of the horn by a narrow margin. Adams, who for a long time was Morrill's chief rival for the goal position on the 1928 team, was sick during the greater part of his Freshman year Last year he alternated with Morrill as Cummings substitute, and this year be is again fit to give Morrill...
