TINY QUARTZ CRYSTAL
CAN CONTROL WIRELESS.

A tiny quartz crystal not bigger
than a short length Of the graphite
in an ordinary lead pencil can con
troll snd maintain the frequency Of
electric current in large installa-
tIons such as the Arlington wireless
stations as the result OF a new
method developed BY Prof. W. c.
Cady OF Wesleyan University. Dr.
Cady reported his invention TO the
meeting Of the American Physical
Society held here at the Bureau Of
Standards.
n little pill box he carries suf-
icienI tiny quartz crystals TO pro-
duce a large range Of oscillations
The smallest OF them. about as large
as the head of Il pin. makes the Cur

times a second, while q longer crys.
tai is needed 20 obtain the $1,000
oscillations per second needed to
control a long wave wireless install

Just by dropping the small crystal
into q condenser placed in the
vacuum tube regenerstive system.
the oscillations that control TIE
whole of a gigantic high-frequency
current system can be set up aud
/ maintained for hour after hour with
less than one-tenth Of / per cent va

In fact, the crystals control the
vibrations OF current much more sc-
curately than they can be cut o.

CHILEAN STRAWBERRY
ARRIVED VIA EUROPE.

At this season OF the year wh-n
we greet the return Of the straw
berry to our table Il is interesting
to be reminded that our North
American cultivated varieties arc all
descendants Of . Chilean plant ".
p. Montgomery OF the Pan Ameri-
can Union tells it's history as fol-
lows:
About 200 years ago q French
mariner. Capt FreIier. brought the
Chilean strawberry from the south
ermost republic OF the Western
hemisphere TO Marseilles. France
A few years thereafter specimens Of
this plant were imported into Eng
land from the continent and later
found their way from Great Britain
into the United States. The straw
berries now cultivated generally in
North America both commercially
and as a garden product are lineal
descendants Of the Chilean straw
berry. fragaris Chiloensis. carried
TO Europe in the seventeenth CEN
tury.
As early as 1924 the North Ameri-
can strawberry. fragaria NirginiAnA
was sent TO France TO the garden
ers Of the king, and was titled with
the utmost care in order to supply
new delicacy for the table Of Louis
lXIII Its cultivation did not be-
come general nor did IL improve the
size and quality OF the fruit. After
the arrival Of the Chilean varity in
France strawberry culture became
popular and developed into q gar
den and commercial Industry OF
transferable importance.
The principal modification which
the Chilean strawberry has under
gone in the United States has been
with the object Of improving polle-
nation by a slight admixture OF fra
garia virginiAnA. or Virginia straw
berry. which grows wild in great
profusion throughout the Missis-
sIppi Valley and In the North and
South Atlantic States. The Chilean
strawberry has been cultivated COM
mercially In the United States for
about seventy years and has be-
come the most important OF the
small fruit crops OF North America

GRAvITATIoN AND MAGNETIsM

To the Editor, The Washtngto Herald:
with all due regard to famous
theories on the subject Of gravita-
tion and errors noticed therein. do
not our scientists take any note
of the super-gravity called magnet
ism and its reason? Pure gravity is
a force OF dead and single centers
and Is eternal. Take two steel balls
of one pound weight a foot apart
and this force is exerted between
them center to center. To these two
balls the center OF the universe lays
half way between them and eacn
throws out its power to occupy II or
influence II. Now suppose one ball
is magnetized. The condition OF the
center of the universe as Tar as they
are concerned remains the same. The
unmagnetized ball is as before with
its force concentrated at its center.
What change has taken place or
could take place in the other one
that It's power has been increased? !?
When a bar of steel Is converted
into a magnet IT lengthens, conse-
Quently an internal change has
taken place. The molecular struc-
ture has been interfered with to
such extent that it has lost Its one
acting center of gravity. Any one or
the disrupted molecules can assert
itself and does for the entire mass.
Our nebulae are probable samples
Of the highest magnetism. They
are probably formed as the re-
suits Of atomic reactions wherein
high masses of atoms are set free.
These must reduce themselves to
molecular masses through magnetic
effort, Elasticity and the electric
bolt. We can come down to the time
when conditions are the same as on
our sun. As long as the reducing
process Is even we have no partic-
ular disturbance here. but let sun
spots appear and Immediately cleo
trio and magnetic disturbances start
here with us. have seen some
statements that gravity was an at
tractive force and some that stated
Il was repellant. Probably both state
ments are correct from the view
point. The gravity Of inertia Is at
tractive. All masses cannot occupy
the same space. hence a disposition
Is made. This applies equally to the
entire universe as to q small object
We can take a solid ball and the
center moleculc represents the CEN
| ter OF gravity. We can take q hol-
llow ball with an absolute vacuum
inside, yet that center Of force exists
lin the same spot though there Is
nothing there.

taken by the Red Triaagle Club are
more Interesting IL the birds can

Bartsch declared what is often
told in scientific English can also
be expressed in plain everyday Ian
guage so that the ordinary person
can know and enjoy the birds"

SHOULD WOMEN CARRY GUNS

SHOULD WOMEN CARRY GUNS!
To the Editor. The Washington Herald:
In reference to the agitation with
regard to the "gun-toters," wish
To call attention to one phase of the
subject that has been overlooked
viz: a license to allow women to
have means of protecting them
selves when unaccompanied by an
escort. The word "masher" is
mispomer. He Is a product of the
twentieth century. Most SO termed
.mashers" are men who have nc
idea Of an innocent Irritation. but
have designs on women far more
serious.
Women are sometimes accosted
on the streets, followed oy men In
cars, and sometimes life Is made un'
pleasant for them IL by chance they
happen to wait for their husoanos
or friends In parks or SQUARES.
After an incident that happened
in Mcpherson Square today at luncn
time, feel that every woman
should have something haroer thar
words to ward of men who nave
evil intentions toward them.
A gray-haired man. seemingly o.
a well-to-do family. was proving
