S. BALLOON Weather Man nan* Flight* to Study Winds. Washington.—The first of fifteen flights In a free balloon which will ride the storms In sn effort to lenrn more about them, will be begun by Dr. LeRoy Metsinger of the central office of the United States weather bureau. The flights are part of the most am bitious plans for scientific exploration of the atmosphere ever to be under taken and they will be carried on through the co-operation of the leath er bureau ang the United States air service. All will start from Scott Field, Illinois, not far from St. Louis. They wiU be made in a hydrogen-filled bal loon, furnished and piloted by thfe weather bureau with a full set of me teorological instruments. The balloon will be a large one, about 40 feet in lirmeter and bolding 35,000 cubic feet of gns. The main purpose of the flights is to study the motions of large masses of nlr with reference to the ground, when they are Influenced by the great whirls In the atmosphere, hundreds of miles in diameter, which the me teorologists call cyclonic stonns and which In their passage across the country give us most of the many va rieties of our weather. The motion of the air with reference to the centers of these storms is fairly well known, but these centers are always them selves lu motion and Just what hap pens to the air in them or above them Is not understood. Doctor Melsinger proposes to find out, by going up in a balloon In the storm to a height of 10,000 feet, and then sticking by it as long as it is pos sible to do so, mapping out his loca tion from time to time, and at the end charting the whole voyage, which will give the track not only of the bal loon. hut also of the air in whk4t it rode. He proposes to take some trips in front of storms, some near their centers, others trailing behind them, to stndy the behavior of the air In each case.

The contractors have am aounced that the wings which form the main part of the hotel and tbs roof can be brought into being with out interfering with the use of the auditorium. ^ The magnificent auditorium of the present church will remain as it has been since the church was built over seventy years ago, but the present gallery will be enlarged and a second one constructed so that the seating ca pacity of the new church will be 4,000. Wings on either side of the present church and 12 stories Immediately above it will be built and leased for operation as a hotel for Christian peo ple.

The following article from The Laurens Advertiser, will bo of inter est to baseball fens in this city: * His Highness, Hop. Joe Wofford, pilot of the Laurens teem of the Caro lina League, was around town a few days ago and while here put out a good bit of dope on the local team which he is signing up for the sum mer series. Manager Joe didn’t claim that he would win the pennant or that he would even go into second place. He only let it be known that he is gathering together a bunch of Huskies that will let the world know they are on hand and that the Lau rens colors will be flying high when the clashes commence on May 26. Most of the men on the team this year will be new faces, according to the dope being handed out. Some of last year’s team are already signed up for other leagues and then otlfars are finding that the salary limit fixed by the league moguls pinches the shoe a little too much. But, accord ing to Manager Joe, a fast bunch of players is being garnered. Among those who have already put their names to contracts is Made O’Connor, star third baseman of last year. Mack has been wintering in the city and says that he is ready to go the gaits. His brother, Archie, who was another mainstay last year, has not signed up yet, but it is thought that he will be in the fold pretty soon. Three pitchers have been signed, all three right-handers. They are Smith, who was with Anderson last year, Harold Murff, who was with Greenwood and Anderson last year, and Willie Heins, a Charleston youth. Joe Kennedy, another Charleston lad, has been signed up for the re ceiving end and Dodson, with the Spartanburg crew of the South At lantic, will also be there as a back stop. Two other players who have put their names to contracts are Rich ards, an outfielder who lead the Blue Ridge league in home runs last year, and Sigmund, who was with Anderson last year. Sigmund, it will be re called, was liable to lambast the ball over the fence most any old time. Negotiations are being carried on with Briggs, the lanky first baseman of last year, but a deal has not beeirf closed with him as yet. WHAT DO P. S. JEANS DO? .•GIFTSTHAT LAST J. B.
