Mirador Houses
Weather Men
Newest Airport
WASHINGTON — A graceful,
! rounded scructure with a revolv
ing turret (art each end. housing
the latest in weather forecasting
equipment, will feature the Ter
minal Building at the Washing
ton National Airport, the world’s
merit modesn commercial flying
field, which began operations
late in June.
The roof-top house is known
ss a mirador, and it shares the
roof of the building with the
'the glass-walled control tower.
Webster defines « mirador as a
“bay window, loggia or enclosed
balcony, designed to command
an extensive outlook," and the
new airport mirador fills this
bill perfectly. It is about’ 75 feet
above the level of 'the field, and
Washington, the Potomac, the
Virginia hills and Maryland’s roll
ing country spread out before or
below the spectator.
The revolving turrets are used
by observers who opertate the
j two theodolytes by which “winds
aloft” are charted. The theodo
lyte is a telespoce mounted on a
tripod, through which the observ
er watched the ascent of a small
balloon. The balloon ascends at
i a known rate, and by taking
! readings on the scales on the
base of the Theodolyte, the dir
ection and velocity of winds at
varying altitudes can be estab-1
lished. Thus it is possible to tell
the pilot about to take off that
he will 'have favorable winds at
j one altitude, but quartering or
hindering winds at a lower or
higher level. Theodolytes can
follow the balloons, which are
three feet in diameter, to a
height of seven or eight miles,
and to a distance of 20 or 25
miles ,on clear days.
Two turrets are provided be
cause the airport control tower
is a little higher than the mira
dor and,under certain wind condi
tions, would obscure tihe balloon.
From the mirador radio sondes
iare also sent up daily by the
Weather Bureau to gather by
radio certain weather informa
tion up to about 60,000 feet.
These are t'iny radio transmitting
sets which are sent up with
balloons about six feet in dia
meter, and which transmit tem
perature, pressure and 'humidity
information continuously as they
rise, an das they parachute back
to earth after the balloon bursts.
The mirador has a nine foot ceil
ing and an eight foot door to
permit the filling and handling of
these balloons.

Alaska’s Oldest
Indian Teacher
Being Retired
JUNEAU, July 7 — Twenty
nine years in Alaska as a teacher
and orphanage director working
among the Indians, Eskimos and
Aleuts will end August 15 for
Mrs. Corinne Call, who arrived
in Juneau from her latest post
at Eagle.
Mrs. Call, oldest Office of In
d an Affairs employee in Alaska
in point of service, is being re
tire d at the age of 65. Her length
of service in ithe North is sec
ond only to that of the late
Charles W. Hawkesworth, who
entered the service of the Bureau
of Education two years ahead of
Mrs. Call.
. Seven Eskimo Daughters .
The white-h'aired little teacher
plans to leave Saturday for Seat
tle, with her life to be devoted
to "educating my girls.” The
girls, who are in Juneau with
Mrs. Call, are Sally Ann and
Shirley Call, are youngest of sev
en Eskimo chidren the teacher
has adopted. Others are Mirs.
Anne Snyder of Nome, Mrs. Nita
Carter of Fort Yukon, Mrs. Olga
Burton of Bremerton, Miss Ma
bel Call, a blind girl who is now
a social welfare worker at Che
hiais, Wash., and Betty Call, who
died in 1927 at the age of 14.
Soon after Mrs. Call arrived in
Alaska, her husband died at Ku
laklak, their first station. Since
then she has carried on her work
alone, serving successively at
Nushagak, Snag Point, Russian
Mission, Bethel, Kanakanak, Un
alakleet, Nome, Hoonah, Tanana,

Seattle Teacher
Before coming to Alaska, Mrs.
■Call taught at Brodaway High
School in Seattle for 10 years.
fThe States will be nothing new

More Advice
On Defense
By Hubbard
SAN FRANCISCO, July —The
Rev. B. R. Hubbard says Alaska
could not be invaded in 'any prac
■tical way.
“The fellow who is there now,”
■he said “can hold it with 'the use
of a Little intelligence. There’s
■a very logical path which the
Japanese might follow. First
they might seize Vladivostok, the
nearest railroad terminus to Al
aska, but that’s as far from the
Territory as it is from Seattle to
■Panama. Then it could seize the
Russian port of Sakhalin Island,
then Kamchatka with its rich
fisheries. Having done so, it
might go to Alaska, but it would
n’t do much good.”
He expressed the belief that a
few well placed airfields, sub
marine and naval bases would
easily block warlike moves. He
urged immediate establishment
■of new airfiedsl at Aniakohak and
Pilgrim Springs.
He said some fields have been
established, but not in the best
locations. “Politicians and real
estate dealers are responsible”
for the airfields located for rea^
sons of convenience rather than
strategy.
The Catholic priest left for Ju
neau Monday and will proceed to
the Interior.
HAWAII TO HAVE
ANOTHER BLACKOUT
HONOLULU, T. H„ July 7 —
The Territory of Hawaii plans
another practice blackout, pro
bably some nime in September,
to prepare for a 'time when night
ly blackouts might be ncessary.
A practice blackout several
weeks ago, staged with coopera
tion of Army, Navy and civilian
authorities, proved almost a 10U
■percent success over the entire
territory.
Hawaii might become a major
enemy objective, in event of a
war, because of the strategic po
sition of the Pacific islands.
