GOODRICH BALLOON
TO ENTER RACE HAS
MANY NEW FEATURES
Equipped With Radi oand
Meteorological in
Struments.

News was received by the San An
tonic Aeronautical Association Friday
of the completion of the construction
of the Goodyear the Third" official
entry of the Goodyear Tire and
Rubber Company of Akron, Ohio, IN
the National Balloon Race, which will
be held in San Antonio on April %.
According to the message, the Good
year the Third" embodies the best
thought and practice in the science
of free ballooning, having radio equip
ment, new, meteorological instruments
and several kinds of new features de-
veloped especially for the San Antonio
event.
Ward T. Van Orman. noted balloon
pilot, will pilot the. Goodyear the
Third" while C. w. Wollan has been
designated as aide. Van Orpah was
one of the three American partici-
pants in the international race held
at Brussels, in 1921, when he crossed
the North Sea and the English Chan
mel, landing at Lands End. England
within half a mile of the Atlantic
Ocean. He also took part in the ma.
tionai and international races of 1920
in the 1924, 1923 and 1922 national
races.
Mr.. Wollman, aide. was associated
with leading aero engineers in the de-
velopnent of the early Curtis airplans

air craft, and is known as one of the
finest practical free ballooning ex-
.perts.
Many events have been won in
Goodyear balloons. Ralph Epson won
the 1913 national race froIa Kansas
City in the Goodyear Number One, ="
and won the international event in
France in the same balloon. Pilot
r. A. ID. Preston repeated this sue
cess in 1914 in the same balloon, at
st. Louis, and in 1919 with Epson
as pilot and Van Ormand, as aide.
the Goodyear the Second" won the
national event in st. Louis. travelling
1910 miles. landing near Montreal.
While details of the construction of
the Goodyear the Third" have no;
been disclosed. it is thought that as
result on the part of Goodyear ex-
perts. this will be the finest product
that could be perfected by the eff
Gent Goodyear staff. Goodyear pilots
have been conducting experiments that
would Incorporate new methods AMI
equipment in their balloons. and there
is no doubt that the Goodyear the
Third" will be the product Of inten'
sive study on the part Of aero ex,
perts in Goodyear service.

escaped from the penitentiary while
at work on the Harlem state farm,
according to information TO local de-
tective headquarters Friday.
Oleson was arrested sby Detective
Captain Street and Detectives Ruhnkc

was passed upon him in the Thirty

Some silverware, later identified as
stolen from the Kampmann home
which was wrapped in coat was
used as a pillow by the man.
For many days Oleson refused to d.
vulge any information. He was won
over by Captain Street while the lat
ter was playing a number of senti'
mental selections of music and song
at detective headquarters. He admitted
number of crimes. but never re-
vealed their nature and also refused
TO divulge his real identity, for the
reason. he said. he did not want his

its total amount of purchases to the
X. NJ. A. manager in charge OF booths
for refunds, presumably located in
railroads stations. The travelling refund
will be made on a basis of per cent.
Auditing and detail handling of the
certificates will be done by X. Nj. A.
members, and peculiar rubber stamps
will be used that will insure merchants
against fraud. Visitors must show
return trip tickets before they can Sc
cure their refunds.
How Gasoline Checks Work.
Gasoline certificates will be issued
in denominations of one, two, five
and ten gallons, and should one visitor
have more certificated purchases en-
titling him to more gasoline than, he
can use, the certificates will be extend
ed to period of GO days. However,
no visitor, regardless of the amount
of his purchases, will be given more
than 30 gallons of gasoline, according
to Mr.. Kings plan.
While the plan has not been def
nitely adopted, pending the majority
vote, Mr.. King feels confident that To-
cal business men will cooperate with
him in perfecting this methou, which
he considers a very good way to brins
many more people to this city for the
event than otherwise would come. I'm
less a meeting is called by Mr.. Kinf
in the meantime, plans will go for
ward and, when the majority vote Of
the retail merchants are all in, the
association will proceed according tt
the dictates of its directors and mem

Travelling Expenses to Be
Paid by Merchants They
Patronize.
KING HAS A BIG IDEA
Retail Merchants Associa-
ton Will Issue Refund
7 Certificates.

Travelling expenses-railroad fare or
gasoline-will be refunded visitors to
San Antonio during the Fiesta de San
Jacinto, according to the amount of
patronage they bestow on San Antonio
concerns, if the plan conceived and
outlined by President n. III. King of
the Retail Merchants Association be-
fore a meeting of the directors of that
body and a number of other promi-
nent citizens Thursday night, is car
ried out. The idea met whOle-hearted
approval at Thursdays meeting.
MIR. Kings plan calls for a refund
on travelling expenses OF per cent
of all purchases made with concerns
here that are members of the Re
tail Merchants Association. Certifi-
Gates will be issued in two kinds
one for mileage and one for gasoline,
and purchases made during the week
of April 21-26 will apply.
The plan was endorsed by the meet
ing Thursday night, but, in order to
receive cooperation from every san
Antonio business man. and in order to
obtain a majority vote from the mer-
chants, letters and telephone calls will
serve as the means of reaching the
members of the association who were
absent at the meeting, according to
Mr.. King. These letters explaining
the plan and asking for cooperation
will be mailed either Friday or Sat
urday to each of the more than 1000
merchants in the association.
Idea to Attract Crowd.
In order to put forth every effort
to secure for San Antonio the largest
crowd ever assembled in this city at
one time, during the week Of the spring
carnival, Mr.. King conceived ,n,s
method of offering still greater in
ducements to the visitor than nave
been perfected before.
Purchase certificates will be issued
merchants for the purpose of refund
ing to purchasers of San Antonio mer-
chandise their round trip train or nus
fare. Mr.. King said. With eacn pur-
chase, merchants cooperating in the
plan will stamp the customers refund
check with the amour of the pur-
chase, and will place beside it the
name of the firm. At the end of the
week, or when the visitor wants 10 TO-
turn. he will present this check with
