STEEL GETS TIRED
AND PROPELL0RS BREAK

Washington, Dec. 26.--With the
broken shaft Of the battleship Yer
mont as an object lesson, the naval
board Of inspection and survey will
go to the Norfolk navy yard In q few
days to begin an exhaustive investi-
cation Of the causes for the breaking
of the main shaft OF naval vessels
One of the two great propeller shafts
Of the Vermont snapped while the
battleship was breasting a storm In
mid-ocean two weeks ago on the re-
turn voyage from the Mediterranean
to Hampton Roads. The vessel was
kept under way with the remaining
propeller until assistance was SUM
moned by wireless.
That the steel gets tired" under
the constant vibration Of a long cruise
at twelve knots speed, is the opinion
Of most engineers. but what the naval
board intends to find out If possible
is some means OF detecting this dete-
rioration before the metal actually
reaches the breaking point.
