Residents of Washington although they might be expected
to have some interest the money and its destination have
yet told the projects upon which the money will be
spent.
The projects under consideration have been kept secret
among small group of officials and while there is lack OF
confidence those officials still of citizens believe
that little more ranness in dealing with the matter would
have been helpful to all.
Judging from the restrictions placed upon the projects by

new mystery.
Their next surprise was the
discovery that the piece of
quartz seemed to exercise some
kind of control over the electric
current supply. 1t seemed to
force the alternating current to
conform in frequency to its
own. Some sort of locking"
effect seemed to exist. The vi
brations of the quartz and the
alterations of the electric sup
ply had to keep in step; and
the quartz was boss. 1t kept an
absolutely steady pace, and any
electrical supply connected to

They then fell to wondering
if the reverse action took place.
Would a piece of quartz,
clamped between two plates,
generate alternating electricity
if it were squeezed mechanically

done, the alternating current
was generated. Electrons must
have been squeezed out of the
crystal, much as squeezing a
sponge squeezes out water, and
then when the pressure was re-
leased, sucked them back in
again.
