SEEK SOLUTION OF PROBLEM Meta! of Apparently Excellent Quality Breaks Without Warning and Eminent Scientists Are Trying to Find Out Why. v Now York.—“Do the metals get tired?” asks Frof. H. P. Moore of the engineering experiment station. Uni versity of Illinois, in a statement pre pared for Engineering Foundation, New York, on “Fatigue of Metals.” The question became important dur ing the war in connection with allied air operation and has taken on a new significance in peace, according to en gine', ring authorities. Prof. Moore tells Itow co-op “ration between En gineering Foundation, universities and industrial establishments has endeav ored to find a solution of this and other problems cad at the same time bring about condonation of the na tion's best engineering and scientific minds. Gauss of “Accidents” Sought. - “In schooldays,” Prof. Moore says, “we ‘orated’ about tireless steel sinewed’ athletes. Now the word •fatigue’ is being tised by men of science as the most suggestive naine for certain kinds of failures of steel and other metals. Metal of apparently excellent quality breaks without warn ing in crankshafts of airplanes, in parts of steam turbines, in other rap idly moving machines, in members of bridges subjected to vibration and fre quent changes of stress. “What are the causes? How can j such failures be avoided? What are the limits of endurance of various metals under many repetitions of stress? “Answers to these questions became especially important during the war, and particularly in connection with military aviation. A committee of en gineers and scientists organized by the National Research council and Engineering Foundation undertook a study. The problem proved complex and its study costly. But lives and property are in jeopardy through lack of knowledge. Therefore, the study has been continued. After the armis tice the division of engineering of Na tional Research council turned to En gineering' Foundation for financial as sistance. The engineering experiment station of the University of Illinois had been, connected with the early study and had the men and some of the facilities needed for further research. Many Tests Are Inaugurated. “In October, 1919, the three organiza tions mentioned entered into an agree ment for two years, Engineering Foun dation undertaking to provide .$30,000, ia installments, as needed. A limited line of experiments was inaugurated. Certain manufacturers contributed test specimens of steel. Special ma chines were constructed and methods devised. Under known conditions many specimens are being subjected to millions of repetitions or changes of stress. Information of practical Im portance is emerging' from the accum ulating records of hundreds of ob servations. “In the fall of 1920 the General Electric company, requested an ex tension of the program of tests to cov er certain nickel steels in which it is interested as a builder of steam tur bines. To meet the expense-; the com pany offered $30,000. A supplementary agreement was undertaken and the new work has been started. “Other users and producers of wrought or cast metals can secure val uable information at relatively small cost by taking advantage of the exist ing staff and facilities for expanding • this research in fields of peculiar in terest to them. Each group of special tests helps in the understanding of the general problem. “This co-operation research is an example of one of the most effective uses for the funds of Engineering Foundation. By a relatively modest expenditure the Foundation initiated the tests and carried them far enough to demonstrate their usefulness to the industries concerned; through 1he affil iation between the Foundation and the Research council the advice of the leading’ men of science in this field is contributed for the determination of methods and the interpretation of re sults. Similar procedure can lie ap plied to other kinds of research ” Woman Took Bath in Tub of Whisky. Greenville, S. C.—A 75-gallon whisky distillery in the home of George Hail, in the fashionable residential section of Greenville, S. C., was discovered by the police. A syphon suction emptied the liquor into a bath tub. A woman hopped Into the tub and splashed around to throw off suspicion, but the smell was too strong. Lion Tamer Charms Woman. Philadelphia, Pa.—Mrs. Sadie Kra mer of Dayton, O., told the court she j.vat* so charmed by Wilbert Bauman’s 'feat as a lion tamer that she eloped ; with him. She was held in $1,000 hail for further hearing. 1 y The woman is alleged to have sold I :her furniture and taken her two-year-j old daughter with her when she joined j ’Bauman, who lives In Minersvllie, Pa. - / x Ji *1-““-:-1 i Autotruck Delivers Farmers' Produce and Collects Purchases at City Station, j (Prepared by the United States Depart ment of Agriculture.) “I’d almost be money ahead if I dumped this milk into the brook this morning instead of carrying it to the creamery. With the best horse in the barn it’s a two-hour job to carry 300 pounds of milk three miles, and it has to be done every (lay. Those straw berries simply must be picked this forenoon, too. Rain last night and sunshine today; all the berries not in the cooling room by noon will be spoiled.” This farmer had encountered one of the periods in his farm work when the proprietor’s presence is <! sperately p.eeddd in two places at the same time. Turning to save a profit on his dairy, be was likely to lose one bn his Straw berry crop: if lie saved the berries he lost the milk, for milk and strawber ries wait for no man. Starts on the Trip. . “Well, I’ve got the milk ready to go, but I haven’t picked the berries*. Here goes for the milk.” Two minutes later he guided old Jim and the buckboard -around the maple on the corner and urged the horse into his best gait when they reached the main road. Every minute was valuable this morning. A half mile from home a forewheel began to give off slight, complaining sounds*. “A dry axle,” groaned the farmer. “I’ll have to stop at Yelp's and grease the wheels.” When he reached Yelp’s farm two more of the buekboard’s wheels were squealing wildly. “Gan I borrow your wagon wrench, jack, and some axle grease*'” he called, catching sight of his neighbor, oddly muffled in gauze and gloves under a tree In the orchard. “Sure! Help yourself.” came the hearty reply. “I’d find the things for you myself, but I’m so busy I can’t spare a minute. I’m trying to hive some of my bees that swarmed this morning, and I’ve got a dozen crates of lettuce all packed that must go on the noon train.” mere s anorner man iu uie same fix,” thought Stevens as he worked. ‘‘He’s got*-'to stop profitable work to haul stuff into town. Probably Hamil ton ami (Jrosner and Phillips and Jones are no better off. either. I can’t af ford a truck to haul just my own prod uce, but if those fellows would make it worth my while to buy a truck and carry their stuff to market, too, there ought to be a way out of this for all of us.” He thought the matter out to a con clusion, and that evening drove around tm his neighbors with his proposition. He called only at the farms that lay between his own place and the village, and to their owners he made a propo sition that ran something like this. “How much would it be worth to you to have your milk and farm 'produce carried into town for you every day'? There are days when you have to make a trip that takes an hour or more of youiMime at the busiest season of the year just to haul ymir milk to the creamery, and there are othex times when you'll have a load of thinjy that you want to send. Suppose I'buy a light truck—wouid you be 'willing to pay me enough for hauling your prod duce to make it worth my while?” “Yes; we'd be willing to do that, providing your charges aren’t too steep. How would you regulate.the prices?” “I’ve been consulting a bulletin on this subject issued by the' United States Deportment of Agriculture. Maryland farmers have already put , an ide» like this into execution, ac cording to the department’s represen tatives. Tliey own and operate a truck on co-operative basis, and ihe rate is lf> cents per hundredweight for first-class goods. I believe I can haul your produce with a light truck for 20 cents a hundred pounds during the wmmer months. The co-operative idea hi Maryland is/not managed to secure a profit, but I shall have to make a profit to pay for the time I tun taking from my own work.” “How will we manage when we want things brought out from town*?”* “Telephone your orders and have ,the merchants- deliver the goods* at the creamery where I can pick , all up at once-and I’Jl bring them out i to you.” ' ' i The scheme was adopted and these 1 farmers found the solution to their hauling problems. . Where there are only a few farmers and the route is short it is sometimes possible to organize motor-truck serv y ice in this way, if a farmer can be found wh.o is willing to undertake the work. In most cases, however, the volume of business increases so rai> idly that it cannot be handled by one truck or one man, and when this stage Is reached i co-operative motor-truck association is the best solution. Forming an Association. Such onpassociation can be organized as a regular stock company. Bulletin j 541. United States Department of Ag riculture, which may he had on re quest, contains infotmati n regarding the by-laws under which a co-oper ative association should be organized andffarmeri.’ bulletin 1032 tells how the motor-truck route ought to be oper ated, how prices are fixed, arul the running exr enses met. In the hi nds of the scrupulous in dividual, or as a co-operative enter prise, the motor-truck route will offer quick, economical transportation to . those farmers who must reach the mar ket every day or two with small loads of milk or farm produce and whose business does not warrant them in purchasing a truck solely for their own use. EXTERMINATING RATS THROUGHOUT COUNTRY Work Is Now Being Carried on in Vigorous Manner. County Agricultural Demonstrators and Rodent Control Experts Mak ing Determined Efforts to Destroy Little Pests. (Prepared by the United States Depart ment of Agriculture.) According to reports to the United States Department of Agriculture, rat extermination work throughout the country is being carried forward vigorously under the combined ef forts of the county agricultural dem onstrators sent out by the states re lations service and the rodent control experts representing the bureau of bio logical survey. At Blaekstone, Va., the home demon stration agent and the biological sur- ' vey representative ioined in a rat campaign which promised to send 12,000 rodents into the rat hereafter. When the finaL count of rat tails was taken it was found that 30,000 ; of the pests had been killed in the j one town. At Fargo, N. D., the citizens were annoyed by a heai y infestation of rats. A bureau rept tentative en listed the co-operation of. the city com mission, the commercfciD’ club, the, health department, the hoy scouts, women’s clubs, and other organiza tions, and conducted a very success ful campaign against the pbs'f. In this; Instance the poison, barium carbonate, was purchased in quantities and used as a destructive agent with excellent results. ■< A statewide rat eradication cam paign in Texas will soon ’-e launched against rats. Tfc* bureau of bio logical survey ha,s beer,, asked to de tail a specialist to direct the' operation.
