Another day Queen Margherita . au-
tomobile furnished her with an expert
-ence as {piteous as the other was pleas
ant. She was driving thru the poorer
sections Of Rome, when a little child,
trying to throw flowers into the queens
car, slipped and fell beneath the wheels.
The child's arm was broken. In an in
slant the queen mother was on the pave
ment, holding the girls head in her lap
and mingling her tears with the tears
Of the sufferer. Then she helped to lift
the little peasant into the car.
For many years Queen Margherita
was afflicted with insomnia The as
sassination of Humbert weighed heav-
lily on her mind, and she passed night
after night in sleeplessness. Eventu-
ally she became pale and hollow-eyed.
In addition to other diversions the
queen rode daily in an automobile. At
first she felt some fear of the ma
chine; but she overcame her prejudices
and began to enjoy rapid transit. Then
she became devoted to her motor car,
and made many long trips thru the
country. ~ ..-
One day all Italy was greatly sur
prised to learn that Margherita had re-
covered almost completely and that
she was contemplating a tour of. west

VANADIUM FILLS BILL
New Metal Gives Desired Tenacity to
Steel Used in Autos. -.

Experts Of Europe are enthusiastic
over recent experiments and the re-
markable results obtained in the use
of vanadium steel, which, in view of
the interest the subject is receiving,
is exceedingly timely. Vanadium pre-
sents wonderful possibilities, and is
said to possess adaptapility for use in
automobile construction. Alexander E.
Tucker, president of the Automobile.
and Cycle Engineers institute, recently
read a paper on the subject to that
body. He said in part: \sEs.. 1--

about 5000 degrees G. It's specific
gravity is somewhat low. e., SIS. In
some. early experiments mild steel
free from phosphorus, with tensile
strength of thirty tons per square inch
and II per cent Of elongation, was
melted in graphite crucible. It there
upon became carbonized and showed
sixty-one tons tensile and % per cent
elongation. On adding per cent of
vanadium the tensile was raised to
sixty-nine tons with an elastic limit
Of fifty tons and 7.3 per cent elonga-
ton. Ordinarily malleable iron of
about twentyfour tons tensile and 10
per cent elongation was changed by
the addition of 0.5 per cent of vana-
dunn to thirty-nine tons tensile and
IL per cent elongation in the forged
bar, and 1877 tensile with 80 per cent
elongation when annealed.
These results proved remarkable
malleability and duct1Iity, and it was
also found that it quenched hardened

ordinary carbon steels. The metal also
showed remarkable strength for cutting
tools. A tool was made of the follow
ing composition: Carbon, 1.O2; vana-
dunn, .0.29, and would lend itself to
resistance to the strains required in
the same way that a natural knee for

stronger than one built, up. With such
steel no damage accrues by such sim

greatly less. In the normal way, to

President Morris Urges that Licenses Of

Writing in Harper's Weekly, Dave
H. Morris, president Of the Automo-;
bile Club Of America, has this to say
of the automobilist and the law:
cit is a great pity that a certain
class of automobiles has done SO
much to injure the sport in this coun-
try, and it is against this class that I
would like to see, drastic legislation
directed. A change in existing laws,
making them more severe in certain
provisions and more liberal in others,
would reach these individuals, teach
them a nluch-desired lesson, and at
The same time work to the best inter
ssts Of those who run their cars in
reasonable fashion.
I'm the first place, I would make it
impossible for the man who is persist
snt in his disregard of the law to oper-
ate his or any other car.
- Under certain conditions I would
have his license either suspended or
revoked, and should the latter course
be pursued in regard to him, he would
have to content himself with taking

Instead of himself at the wheel. Incl

= QUEEN WILL TOUR WEST
Margherita of Italy Will Motor Thru
=. Middle West. ..e.. =

Queen Margherita of Italy, the queen
mother, and the most beloved woman
in all Italy, is coming to this country
to motor. This beautiful royal lady is
an enthusiastic motorist.
Queen Margherita will arrive in this
country next spring. Her plans are not
complete, but it is probable that she
will tour the middle states and then 90
west. Six persons will accompany her,
including gentleman and lady in wait
ing, her: maid, and an expert italian
chauffeur.
Z Queen >Margherita has expressed her
fondness for America many times. In
a practical manner this is shown by the
number of American women she
has selected for conspicuous positions
in her encourage. When she was dis
cussing the plans for her visit to this
country she expressed a particular, de-
sire to tour the far west in order to see
with her own eyes some of the living
types pictured by American authors.
