The will provides for bequests to various char itable organizations totaling a hun dred thousand dollars; the balance la held In trust for Miss Wurthmann, whose grandparents were dear friends of Lehmeyer, who lived as a recluse and seemingly in dire poverty. Be cause of the friendship that existed between Lehmeyer and the Wurth maan family, the young lady was made heiress to the estate.

VICTIMS OF M EMT AL. T R Oy B LE Many Ex-Service Men Are Held aa Prisoners American Legion to Make Investijjation. A great per cent of ex-service ron Imprisoned In state and federal peni tentiaries for crime are suffering from some mental disability, caused by the war. Reports of such instances from many states have led to preparation fo. a survey to be undertaken by the American Legion in every state of the Union. Oklahoma, first of the state de partments of the Legion to complete the preliminary work as directed by the national organization, has found that 217 men who served during the World war are now In he penal in stitutions of that state. Of these men. HO per cent were onlisted or in ducted from Oklahoma. In order that these men will have the proper care r.nd treatment in case it is found that their crime m:?rht have been dne to mental defection caused by the war, a rareful investi gation will be made of each case. This will be undertaken with regard to the rights and experiences of the former fighter, back pay, allotment, undis tributed Liberty bonds, compensator and hospitalization and other features which the Legion has helped in secur ing for others who served. Actual work of the survey will be undertaken in Oklahoma by a soldiers relief commission which is functioning in that state by state direction. Amer ican Legion workers have been as signed by officials of that organization to work with the commission and bring about relief for any of the meE found to be deranged and in penal In stitutions rather than In hospitals for criminal Insane. Post Provides Entertainment. The George N. Kemp post of the American Legion in East Stroudsburg, Pa., has outlined many ambition pro grams but none to equal that for 1924. It is doubtful, even, if any other post of the veterans' organization in the coun try will attempt to stage and produce such unusual events. The annual anlomnhile show, usually sponsored by the dealers, will be the first of the winter's activities. Then will come production of the opera, "II Pagliacei,'' by rn afrateur cast, to be followed by a hii!."? military ball, e sacred concert n?d other events. Awarded Medal From Legion.

NEW ALLOY LITTLE KNOWN ' -- - - That molybdenum is one of the most powerful and useful alloying elements In steel hiis been t un-lusivf ly demon strated by experiments conducted by Dr. H. V. Gillett. chief allwj chemist, Department of the Interior, at the Itha ca (N. Y.) held oliH-e of the bureau of mines. While the value of molybdenum as a steel alloy is only beginning to be appreciated and its commercial use Is still relatively small, the bureau of mines considers tiiat it is destined to become widely used. The United States, according to the bureau, has abundant supplies of molybdenum which should be available to replace or supplement other metals used :is steel alloying elements which at present must be imported. "The yearly claims for molybdenum as a specific against fatigu fnilure of steel, which iillered. directly or by In fiuence, th;it molybdenum steels were vastly superior to o.hr-r steels for uses to resist vibn-.tion, hava mt been sub stantiated ;n the over-enthusiastic form In which they were me.de," the bureau continues. "The experiments shew that, with one exception, molybdenum steels, and other alloy steels contain ing nickel, chromium, vanadium or a combination of these elements, have equal qualities, and "that no one alloy stands out above the other on this score. Equals Any Other Steel. "The exception is in favor of heat treated molybdenum steels, for the presence of inolyiidenum makes the steel require a higher temperature la the drawing or tempering process after quenching, and this higher tempera ture causes fuller release of quenchine stresses. The presence of quenching stresses tends to cause poorer perform ance umber repented vibration. This, however, is r.ot a very great factor, and has a notk-er.ble effect only in very hard steels, for .example, those of spring temper. For ordinary structural 'ises no alloy steel is appreciably su perior for use against vibration t any ther when the steels are used 1n suh dzos that thr-v harden throughout on menf-hing. Molyhdf rom and certain ombinntions of nickel anl chromium ouTer depth-h-!n!?n!ng properties on -teel, and ht-nco the-e have advantages Or ue in parts of hirge cross-tection. "Thus it Is evident that, ns renrds endurance, molybdenum steels are the qutls of any, and on some scores have light udv.-.ntnges, but the advantage? re slight instead of large. The choice of a composition of an r.lloy steel will he.-efore seldom depend on its fatigue ror rtie. "The endurance work of the bureau f mines has given result? which In reneral fit in very well with thp recent vork of the engineering experiment tation of the University of Illinois, ind which indicate thnf the conclusion if the Illinois investigation may be ex rended to apply to a large range of illoy steels. Dirty Steel !s Undesirable. "But besides corroborating ana ex tending ttie luino.s results, me worn or the bureau has brouglit out a point Thlch hr.? not been covered completely hy other investigators in this country or abroad. aHhouch it 1 as been consid ered to some cxTent by most workers tn this fie!d. This point Is the evil ?ffect cn endurance of nonmetallic In clusions. Dirty steel gives far less uni form results on end'irance tsts than cleaner. steel, nnd dirty steel is certuln ly unreliable nnd unnfe wliere repeat ed vibration must he endure'L "These inclusions or other similar inhomoger.eilies in the metal, are prob ably the cause of many failures in service. From the relationship worked out by the Illinois Investigators and others, and corroborated by the bureau of mines tests, the endurance proper ties of any really clean 5teel may be quite safely predicted. Put when tbe steel is ro clean It may either give the same results as n cler.n steel, or fnr poorer results, depending on whether tbe most severely stressed spot in a piece made from the dirty steel hai pens to be locally clean or" locally dirty. Endurance Being Tested. "To obtain further Information on the effect of Inclusions, comparisons are being made of endurance tests on specimens cut both with and across the direction of roiling, since the lat ter, "r transverse specimens, usually show the bad effect of inclusions and inhomogewities most markedly. As sfton as the endurance tests n the series of niolybden.un, cerium and comparison steels are completed tests will be made on a series of nickel-silicon steels previously made by the bu reau of mines for the navy, on which tests made by the navy op properties other than endurance ars. available."
