RALPH DEPALMA
.ENTERS2CARS
IN bic RACE
Idol of Speedway Fans to
Take Another Crack
at Big Money.

INDIANAPOLIS, April 17-Ralpi
DePalma, without question the great
est popular idol that ever drew pair
of racing goggles, has entered two cars
in the Fourteenth Annual Interna.
tionaf Sweepstakes May 81 at the In.
dianapolis Motor Speedway.
Starting his racing career in 1907,
De Palma has lived through a series
of accidents in his nineteen years Of
racing that would have stopped less
courageous driver. But broken bones
have meant nothing to the little Ital-
ian American. OF the thirteen Inter
national Sweepstakes run at the great
est race course in the world, Ralph
has taken part in ten. He started out
in the 1911 race by finishing Sim
pick fourth. In 1912 came the great
est point in his career when, after
putting his Mercedes TO the front and
leading the second man By twenty
miles. he saw victory slip through his
fingers oil the last lap of the race.
DePalma's motor died at the head OF
the front stretch on his last lap and be
pushed his car t. the tape, only to be
totally disqualified because it had not
crossed under its own power.
In 1915 Ralph showed the field the
way to 90 home with another Mer.
cedes. He finished a Packard sixth in
1919: and French Ballot fifth in
1920. He came up to fourth place
with a Duesenberg in 1922. The year
1928 he was with the Packard COM
pany driving his car so laps. In
1925 he finished his Miller Special in
seventh place.
NOT NAMED.
While DePalma has entered two
cars. he has not named them. He is
working on them in his Los Angeles
workshop. DePalma will no doubt be
one Of the carly birds at the track for
practice, for it is well known that he
has Withdrawn from board track rae
ing in favor Of the dirt speed paths
and the indianapolis Motor Speedway,
which DePalma says takes more skill
than driving any other track in the
world.
There will be much interest to see
just what DePalna ia able to accom-
plish in this first year of the vest
pocket motors. The piston displacc-
mcnt limit is 0 IL cubic inches. which
is Just the size Of some motorcycle
engines. However, the prediction is
is that they will be very little slower
than the motors Of last year, when
Pete DePaolo, DePalma's nephew.
driving a Duesenberg, averaged 10l.13
miles an hour in the race.
OTHER ENTRIES.
Entries announced thus far in sd.
lition TO DePalma are three Schmidt
Specials, from France, Dave Lewis, in
1 front-drive Miller; Harlan Renkler
n a car yet unnamed; the Hamlin
ront drive, OF Chicago. 7. T.. Myers,
Of the Motor Speed
way, says that it is his opinion that
he entry list this year will easily top
thirty.

Writing on Credit Analysis
at University Of

Walter B. Sbeehan, son Of Mrs

ty of Pennsylvania. He will soon
enter upon the final writing of his
thesis, which is a requirement for
graduation, each student being obliged
10 do piece Of practical research be-
fore receiving his diploma.
The senior research is one OF the
most important phases Of the Whar-
ton school curriculum and marks a
definite attempt on the part Of the
authorities TO give the graduating stu
dents a taste of practical business
problems. This year over 500 stu
derts carried On research, 20 per cent
Of whom engaged in actual field work.
Over 200 manufacturing and bust
ness establishments co-operated with
the Wharton school by opening their
plants 70 the students. Many of these
have avsiled themselves Of the results
of the studies to improve their method
and equipment, and each year increas-
ing numbers of concerns are asking
for Wharton research students in con.
nection with one or another Of their
difficulties. In addition to research
in business institutions, studies have
been made for the Pennsylvania State

STEEL TO BE DEPENDABLE

steel mills where it was first poured
into insots and changes were made
in methods there.
To-day in the Cadillac laboratories
samples of steel for highly stressed
parts are most infinitely examined
under the microscope for inclusions
of dirt. 1t takes at least twenty min.
utes to examine a sample Of the size
OF a fiye-cent piece.
Chromium molybdenum steel now
used in the connecting rods by Cadii-
lac and some other manufacturers has
been a tremendous improvement. For.
mer practice was to use high-gradc
electric furnace steel, which proved
very satisfactory. The new steel.
however, is generally considered five
or six times as good as the former.
NEW STEEL.
In the manufacture of studs and
bola Cadillac was formerly using two
grades of steel. In a tensile, or pull
ing. test one of these metals showed
minimum elastic limit of 10000
pounds per square inch of cross-sec-
tional area; the other 100000 pounds
per square inch. A new steel has
been adopted which shows minimum
tensile strength of over 1O5.O 900
pounds. 1t is easier to get. 1t is
more quickly available. 1t machines
more easily. 1t is stronger and
stands more fatigue. Withal it is low
err in cost.
In highly stressed parts in which
the surface is, subject to wear or
abrasion, special nickel steel is used
which can be carburized.

The Holley "Vaporizer." made by

has built Ford carburetors. has been
added to the line Of the Yantis Motor
Company.
The ''VaporiEer' contains hot
plate, which causes gasoline to vapor-
ize as soon as il strikes it, in the
same way that water turns almost in
stantly into steam if it is poured on
the top of a rel hot stove.

STANDARD PURITY.

BY setting up a standard of micros.
copic purity in steel, Cadillac en-.
gineers were able to explode the the
DRY of crystallization and breakage
which was used in the earlier yea RS
of industry to explain the failure of
parts. Laboratory studies with pow
erful microscopes and with micros-
copic photography proved that the
trouble was not capitalization but
fatigue" usually due to some kind
of impurity in the metal. The en-
gineers believed that if the steel was
made clean enough these failures
would be eliminated. They establish
ed entirely new standards for clean
steel. Steel men from the mills were
invited. Many others came of their
own accord and asked for reports and
photographs of the Cadillac findings.
Metal was followed back to the
