WEATHER CONDITIONS
TO BE MARTED FOR
BALLOON RACE HERE
Kelly Field Establishes a
Meteorological Station
to Aid Pilots.

4 meteorological station has been
installed at Kelly Field and will fur
nish data for the benefit Of pilots who
will take part in the national elimina-
ton balloon race.
The equipment for the station has
been in use since last October bat
only recently was it placed at the
wing operation office, where tower
was erected for its reception.
A quadruple register at the station
records the wind direction and speed,
the number of minutes the sun shines
during the day and the amount of
rainfall TO OF Of an inch. In addition
TO this apparatus. the station is
equipped TO make wind aloft" reports
by plotting the course of small bal
looms.
The wind vane. The sunshine re-
corder. the thermometer for measuring
the velocity of the wind. and the rain
guage are located ON the tower at the
station and connect with the register
by means of cable. The register is
electrically worked and run by a clock.
OF special Importance TO the pilots
Of the balloons during the national
race. will be the direction and velocity
of the higher air currents. This infor.
nation will be obtained before the race
starts by plotting the course of pilot
balloons that will be released at the
Kelly Field meteorological station.
The balloons used in this work are
inflated with hydrogen and rise at a
constant rate of 240 yards per minute.
Wind speed is the only, component act
ing on the balloon. which travels at,
the actual speed of the wind. Readings
are taken every minute through a
theodOlite. and these readings are
plotted on a plotting board. The ac-
tual speed and direction of air currents
at various attitudes can thus be de-
tcrmined.
These readings are made four times
each day. ordinarily. but they will be
made every hour during the day of the
race and a few days prior to the start.
Meteorological stations were used IN
the army for the first time during the
World war. They furnish data for both
the air service and the artillery. The
Kelly Field station records data for
use of the airway pilots and sends this
information to. all points along the
route.
Daily reports are also received from
Narfa, Fort Bliss, Laredo. Fort Clark
and points along the airway route.
These reports are furnished by the
weather bureau in San Antonio and
are used for the information OF pilots
who are making crOss-country flights.

of the Kelly Field station. The oper-
ating force is composed of Staff Sergt. |

Girl Desperate Found
Guilty Of Manslaushter in
California--Women Jurors
Won't Send Husband to
Callows Because He "Is
So Good Looking"
BY FOREST WHITE.

Copyright by The San Antonio Light
Los Angeles. Cal. March 25.-The
miracle of regeneration has been un-
dertakcn by the law. Jeanne Carleton,
socalled "flapper bandit" has been
pronounced legally dead by the courts.
Anna johnson is born in her place.
Judge Russ $. Avery of the Superior
court, has given Anna Johnson, in
place of Jeanne Carleton, her one
chance in 10000 and that means that
the young woman must indeed be re-
born and live n life So different that
she will be expected 10 forget that
Jeanne Carleton ever lived.
The story of Jeanne Carleton is
modern, intensely SO. and has all the
jazz that could be packed into the
space of Il few years by girl in
search Of adventure and thrills. For
months there have been reports of
young women bandits on the streets of
Los Angeles, but these reports were
usually largely of color thrown in by
reporters in search of the unusual in
their writings from police records.
Nobody took the stories of "flapper
bandits" very seriously in police cir
cles. and certainly not the police
themselves.
1t was a real surprise. therefore.
when Jeanne Carleton. hanging from
the balcony of a home in which vol
unteer police officer had been slain
in duel in the dark with burglar.
dropped like n ripe plum into the
arms of policeman and was found
to be the very type of "flapper ban
dit"
A fortunate. trial, unwittingly fur
nished through the capture Of the
young woman, led to Edward Garlic
ton. Just out Of the navy. and fixed
upon him the crime of killing of Spe-
cial Officer Robert f. Magee. who did
police work for the love OF it, and
walked boldly in upon Carleton at
his work of burglary and was instant
ly killed by shot from the dark.
Bride Of Burglar.
The "flapper bandit" was soon
identified as Jeanne Carleton, the
bride of the young burglar and BAN
dit. and the police believed her story
that it was her first adventure in ban
litry or burglary with her husband.
Carleton was brought to trial on a
murder charge before mixed jury of
men and women. 1t seemed almost
certain that he would receive the
death, penalty, but because he was
such a good looking young man,
some Of the women jurors refused
10 vote to hang him. and he was sent
to San Quentin on life sentence.
Jeanne Carleton was theU brought
TO trial before Judge Russ Avery. She
was adjudged guilty of maaslaughtcr.
Her attorneys said they would put in
an application for probation and il
was then that Judge Avery said there
was only one chance in 10000 that
the application would be granted.
Saturday the application came up be-
fore Judge Avery.
The girls history was recited TO the
court as. showing her subnormal in
mentality. Her escapades began about
three years ago when she took the
name of Jeanne. 1t was an adventure
in psychology. She figured in two

CHAPTER CYL.
The World BeCkOnS.

Jimmy's laugh echoed in her
ears. Fixing a tray for Jennie
ChiCkie paused. She saw the tide
Of color sweep his face: felt his
hand press hers. In a sudden
weakness, she sat down-closed
her eyes. Close out the world
youth-gladness. She must!
Her life was finished - more
completely than Jennie's. There
was no future-not for her. She
looked down years, blank. monoto-
nous. desolate. Looked and forced
her lips to smile.
But a panic stole MOSTLY upon
her. Her heart beat loud TWEEN
ty.two-she was just twenty-five.
Years, many years and no laugh
ter; no sparkle. She said with
drawn, white mouth, softly: "Ho
never mind-never mind"
She wanted this emptiness, this
waste. Leave her alone, unno.
ticed there. This was her clamor-
Gus prayer.
She couldn't go back, not into
the happy world again. She
didn't want to. She had enough.
Now - because of Jimmy she
was frightened. She wanted to
hide from him and the teasing,
eager look of his eyes.
There was Jennie. She could
cling to Jennie. She could say,
Jimmy da"ling-not today. No,
not tomorrow-can I leave her all
alone? Now, would you want a
selfish piece like that sitting in
your sweet little carr"
Jimmy said with a new stub.
bornness and a grin. "All right,
girl. I'll call again" He came
close and caught both of Chickie's
elbows and laughed down in her
face: You need me. Chickie.
Do you know that?"
She lowered her eyes.
yes. you do! And you need
care as much as Jennie does
"Jimmy-please-n yet"
Other years he had turned
away. Now he shrugged. I'm
patient"
Chickie was afraid Of the mo.
ment when Jennie would no
longer need her. One afternoon
Jennie went into the kitchen,
poked about the pantry, arrang.
ing dishes. Chickie flew at her,
white faced. What do you mea n,
mother? Go in and sit in the
sun"
Jennie blushed and laughed:
