An Elastic Metal.

The most remarkable thing about
vanadium steels is their almost mirac!
ulous elasticity. Today the metal va
nadium is comparatively cheap. Yet
only 30 years ago it sold at $3.50 a
pound. and was hardly more than a
curiosity Of the chemical laboratory
When a use is found for a rare
metal. sources from which it may be
obtained in quantity are sure to be
discovered. Thus. when the value OF
vanadium for steel alloys was ascer
tanned, the fact was soon disclosed
that vast ore beds containing it eX
listed in Colorado. 1t is from these
beds that the demand is now supplied
The ores are sandstone, impregnated
with vanadium, and are dug out in
enormous quantities. A by-product of
vanadium mining is uranium, from
which radium is obtained

Mythology.

Iebe was the goddess of youth, WhC
poured out the nectar with which the
gods pledged each other. One day
upon solemn occasion, she tripped
and fell, and was forced to resign hel
ctfce. Her father, Jupiter, secured as
her successor the beautiful youth
Ganymede. Hebe retained the power
of restoring the bloom of youth an(
beauty to the aged and, according tC
some accounts, it was only after she
became the wife of Hercules that she
gave up her Office of cupbearer She
even succeeded in recOnciling hei
mother, Juno, to Hercules, who suf
fered all his life from the hatred OF
the queen of the gods.
Hercules was deified as reward foI
his achievements.

a record for ting summer. In fact, the
proverbial oldest inhabitant" wilt
ed under the heat and declared it
unequaIed.
Supt Thayer, at the city reservoir,
was perhaps the busiest man in Am
cricus yesterday. in such extremely
hot weather the consumption Of wa
ter is largely increased, and yester-
day Supt. Thayer put nearly one mil
lion gallons of water into the tower
and mains.
Another realty deal yesterday was
the sale of a handsome and desirable
residence Of Jackson street, the prop
crty Of Mr.. John Goolsby. 1t is next
to the residence of Mr.. J. 3. Dunn,
and desirable WitnaI. II was purchas-
ed by Mrs. Josephine Hudson, of La
Crosse, who will make her home here
shortly.
Another amber retreat is to be OPP
cued on Cotton avenue. Amcrcus
is going to keep cool, LOUDLY, If
'Jcmperancc" drinks will chill one.
There were no prostra.ions il Am

mcnt a few years, and permit the .
competent and highly able men
now in charge to go through with
their program uncrippIed, few
years will see an entirely different
Georgia, with boulevards-either
paved or highly developed sand
clay highways-eXtending into
every part of Georgia, making
transportation a cheap item at all
times of the year, adding vastly
| to he pleasure of the pcpulace,
making all counties close kin,
| and increasing land values in the
aggregate many times more than
dc Development ever cost.
The state highway department
is only in the beginning of d
great program-but it has made
a wonderful beginning By the end
Of this year, if it is allowed to CON
tinue unmolested, ii will have
taken over for maintenance 1000
miles of road in the state system
at a cost Of 100000 per year,
and by the end of next year the
entire state system Of 1890 miles
extending into every county will
have been taken over at a yearly
maintenance cost of approximate
ly 5 100000. The auto tax
money, which it is now proposed
in the McMichael bill to split
among the counties, will pay this
maintenance cost and in addition
carry on the activities of the
highway department in continuing
5 state aid and federal aid construc
tion-putting Georgia on the way
in a transportation manner o
z speaking.
e The Davis bill and the Nc
Michael bill should be prompt,
scotched in committee, and if the,
ever leave the committees hand
: they should be promptly and I'M

ent and future welfare of tn,

highway development, and if they

intentions, Georgia viii not be

never will be able to recover the

In the beginning, let ii be

pending in the Georgia legis-
loture are two highway bills,
either one of which, if enacted into
law, will be a stunning blow 10
Georgia S progress and bright
prospects. One is the Davis bill,
which seeks to abolish the state
highway department in its entire
ty. The other is the McMichael
bill, sponsored by the able Marion
county lawmaker, which would
return all Of the automobile tax
money back to the various coun-
ties on basis of post road mile,
age, except IS per cent, which
would &c to the highway depart
mcnt for its maintenance. This
bill would Kill the present state
highway program for a network
OF highways connecting every
county scat in Georgia with every
other by a first class highway
would end state aid and state
maintenance of highways, and
would reduce the highway de
partment to mere engineering
staff.
