Motorcycle Men Start
Training at Marion

MARION, Ind. Aug. 31.-Practice is
on in earnest for the 200-mile national
motorcycle road race, which is being
staged on a road course here under
the auspices of the Marion Association
of Commerce. Practice periods are
from Z to o'clock in the morning and
from 3 to 5 in the afternoon. The
Indian team of five members was the
first on the ground. arriving at the
course two weeks before the race.
The Harley team came in the next and
shortly afterward the Excelsior. Be
cause of the stiff competition from fac
tory teams there has been only one
private entry, that of c. ]. Delegrange

celsior team of five members will be
the smallest team entered. though it
may be increased before the race.

INTERESTING SCIENTIFIC ARTICLE CONTRIBUTED TO MAGAZINE BY
 YOUNG RESIDENT OF CORDOVA

 Joy for toughening steel were already under way. But small quantities were involved in the tests, and results, all though encouraging, had not pro- gressed to the point of producing mo- lybdenum commercially. Many author ities thought they never would. How ever, the romance of molybdenum be- gan almost simultaneously with the outbreak fthe world war. For it was about that time that the great Colo rado deposits were discovered and their development begun.
 Almost Immediately, pioneer seekers for super-steel resumed experiments with new spirits an don much larger scale, Their striking success has re- suited in putting molybdenum on the steel market. Molybdenum flew over German troops in the motors of allied airplanes, MolybdenUm helped repel the terrific impact of high-powered, armOr-p piercing German ammunition as part of the armor plate of the French baby tanks. Later molybdenum played it's part again in the crank shafts and connecting rods of a Liberty motor, when the gallant NC-4 spanned the At lantic.
 These worthy achievements for pur- poses of war have stimulated steel manufacturers to turn the sword into a plowshare; to utilize for purposes of peace this new allow which proved it's worth so we'll in machines of war. As has been said, molybdenum steel has the greatest available strength of any of the alloy steels It has the greatest width of temperature range within which steels can be both hard ened and tempered It is the most easily machined of any alloy steels treated to given elastic limits.
 The practical results of these at tributes are many. It is predicted that a 25 to 33 per cent reduction in the weight of automobiles will be permit ted through molybdenum steeI's su- perior strength and resistance to shock and fatigue The mileage of a gallon of gasoline will increase. Lighter engines can be used to drive the customary loads of today at higher speeds than now in vogue
 One of the outstanding metallurgi- cal achievements of the war was the molyzdenum- m-chrOme-nickel steel used in Liberty motor parts in quantity. It possessed dynamic and physical properties together with exceptional machining qualities previously unat- tainable Again, molybdenum came to the front when a lighter armor was sought for tanks. The cast manga nese-steeI turrets and gun protectors had proved too heavy and too cumber- some with their three-inch walls They were also quite ineffective when facing German ammunition. which penetrated and often passed entirely through the turrets. The incredulity of French engineers, therefore, can be imagined when an American man ufacturer evolved a turret and gun protector of Hanged and formed armor plate that ranged in thickness from one-quarter to five-eights of an inch.

Nickel-molybdenum and chrome-mo- lybdenum steels were used in this case, and it is these types which are being projected for airplane, automo- bile, truck and tractor parts.
 Molybdenum is a metallic element which, in ore form, is very similar in appearance to graphite. At the fiota- tiOn mill at the Colorado mine, molyb- denum ore is ground and concentrated by oil Notation into concentrates of from 60 to 70 per cent MoS2, which are then converted into ferro-molybdenum or calcium molybdate.
 There are four distinct molybdenum steel types-chrome-molybdenum, sub divided into grades according to their carbon and chromium content and again classified according to the mo- lybdenum content; chrome-nickel-mo lybdenum; nickel-molybdenum and chrome-vanadium-m
 In all of these types there is no greater percentage of molybdenum than 1 per cent, and the average is 8 to 4 per cent. English steel tool makers have perfected molybdenum steel combined with cobalt in which the molybdenum content runs as high as nearly 6 per cent; this product is utilized for tools which are subjected to excessive heat caused by friction in cutting.
 With it's steel-hardening quality, mo- Iybdenum steel combines lightness and strength; lends itself to easier ma chining with a much wider range of heat treatment; possesses a greater tensile strength and a greater elonga- tion with higher dynamic impact value.
 This latter Quality-that of greater dynamic and impact value, which mean superior resistance to repeated stresses and suddenly applied shocks should make of molybdenum steel much more satisfactory medium for making springs than the former stand ard chrome-vanadium steel springs. In substantiation of this claim, it is point ed out that the Fifth avenue bUsses in New York city employ springs of molybdenum steel
 Corresponding somewhat to the English formula for tool steels, in that the content of molybdenum is greater than in the American autOmOtive steel, the German formula has become known in this country. The Germans made us of molybdenum when their supply of tungsten ran out. It is be- lieved that they learned of it's value from observers who told them of English utilization of it. Most of the German supply came from Norway.
 As evidence of the increased use of molybdenum, it has been estimated that in the last two years two hun dred thousand tons of molybdenum steel have been manufactured in the United States Primarily toughener of steel mOlybdenUm acts more bene- ficially upon steel than chromium, be- cause it does not develop the quality of brittIeness that is characteristic of simple chromium steel. By the addi- tion of mo1ybdenum, brittIeness de- creases and toughnes increases.

written for the United Press.)
Chicago, June 9.-Chaupcey De-
pew and / have attended conven-
tons ever since our graduation
from college. He began In 1860
and I in 1908.
Chauncey thinks that this is the
last one which he may ever see;
and l have an idea that unless the
show Is changed considerably some
one else may have my seat at the
next performance. too.
For the good old program that
has drawn the crowds SO long
seems to me to lie losing its punch
The acts are shopworn, the scenery
is frayed and the folks don't re-
spond as they did.
TameSt Ever Seen.
The session yesterday was the
tamest l have ever seen. There was
hardly any cheering as the leaders
came in one by one.
In the hope OF pumping some
oxygen into the listless crowd, a
specialist in leading cheers had
been imported from the east. He
led three cheers for Senator Lodge.
and then hurried to pass handful
Of his cards down into the press
section SO that we might tell the
world that his name is Albert Ed
mund Brown. leader of community
singing. Perhaps he, too, is one
~ yhN hi a l.
horse.
Senator Lodge read for an hour
and half, using all of the tried
and true stuff.
Crowd Too Blase.
And nobody cared enough to ap-
plaud. The general attitude SEEM
ed to be: I'VE have seen this show
before. We know every act-the
Swiss bell ringers; the educated
seals; the acrobats and the juggler
tramp. Well stay till its through
but it's awfully old, and We wish
we could 60 to lunch"
There is something rather whole
some, it seems to me, in this criti-
cal attitude. It reflects a good deal
OF sensible thought on thespartr Of
the man in the street.
For generations politicians have
been denounclng each other and
| promising to make our lives easier.
And we're beginning gradually to
understand that politicians can't
make us successful or happy or rich
that our salvation lies not with
them but down inside ourselves.
Tired Of Fake Hopes.
We're q little tired Of distortion
and exaggeration and false hopes;
we are just about ready for a new
kind of convention where sincerity
and simplicity and economy will be
the watchwords, and the speeches
will not be over Is minutes in
length and filled with the same kind
Of hard common sense that We use
in our business lives.
Maybe the next convention will
be of that sort and If SO l shall at
tend.
