There is a proposal at the pre- eent time to erect super-power stations with steam generating plants to supply the electric needs of the Home Counties. This would be abeolutely unnecessary, for from one area alone, The Wash, Lincoln- shire, the whole of the counties of Lincoln, Norfolk, Huntingdon, Bed- ford, Northampton, Essex, Suffolk, Oxford, and Cambridge, and the needs of Greater London could be supplied.

1 180,000 Acres Available, There are in The Wash more than 180,000 acres available, with out reckonmg the acreage of tidal rivers flowing into it. This vast ares could be divided into a full basin of 80,000 acres and a receiv ing basin of 50,000 acres, by means ol two dams, which, owing to local conditions, could be easily con- structed the first dam from St. Edmunde, Hunstanton, to Gibraltar Point, and the second dam dividing the area as above,

A YOUNG WOMAN,

A pair of silk stockings soaked in ammonia are said to have been used as a gag by a man who attack- ed a young girl in a lonely spot acar Sidcup.

The girl's name is Ethel Ear-

Miss Earwaker, who is a book. seller's assistant at The Broadway, Eltham, is stated to have been followed home by man who shuffled along the road just behind her for a considerable distance.

The full basin is to be kept at high-tide level by the inflow of the aca at high tide and the rivera now- ing into it, and the low-level rewaker, aged 20. of Daya-lane, cerving basin is to be kept at low- Sidcup, and she suffered her, sarri tide level, except for the watersfying experience in Hallway street, from the power station retained between Eltham and Sideup, ca her during the period when the high way home from business. ride would prevent the speat waters flowing out to eca. The high-level basin would not lose more than one fcot and a half from its surface at any time, and the low-level basin would only rise. à few inches, sa that the working head would te- main practically always the same.

"This is of vital importance and a great difficulty with many hydro- electric echemes. The main or sea dam would require locks to allow shipping to pass and inflow sluice gates through which the sea would flow at high tide into the fall basin, and outflow sluice gates at a low eve through which the used waters from the power station would flow back to the sea at low-tide level the principle being automatic and perpetual, in at high and out at low

There are 700 tides each ye; and thus the total yearly supply of water would be 66,000,000 acres,

The outrage is reminiscent of similar attacks on yenng women in the St. Mary Gray district, which is near by.

Stories have been told recently of a series of mysterious attacks on young women and girls in lonely lanes in the St. Mary Cray district. Terrifying descriptions were given of the man by those whom he was said to have approached..

In one case a Mrs. Florence Har land, of Station-road, St. Mary Cray, and Miss Ess, of Conway- street, Plaistow, were returning to gether from Sidcup when they met a man midway between Foots Cray and St. Paul's Cray.

He asked to be directed to Orpington, and afterwards is said to have hit the women on the head.
