Meteoro|ogist, Dies
In Annapolis
Retired Weather Bureau
Official in III Health
For Lost Yeur

Edgar B. Calvert, SO, veteran of
so years service in the Weather
Bureau and a meteorologist widely
known in Government and scien-
tif1c circles, died yesterday at his
home in Annapolis, Mo. He had
been in poor health ior a year, ac-
cording to former associates at the
bureau. ~
Mr.. Calvert was chief of the

retirement became effective June 80.
He had held the post since 1920
and was dean of Weather Bureau

and served here briefly before
being transferred to Chicago. He
returned to the Capital in 1895 and
&SAlidlilNo III WIG llClC, NUI
under every chief of the Weather
Bureau.
He was credited with being re-
sponsible for guiding development
OF weather reporting systems using
ships at sea and for perfecting
daily weather report service to the
general public. The hurricane and
coldWave warning service also made
its greatest advances under his
supervision.
In celebrating his 50th anniver-
sary, fellow-employes presented to
Mr.. Calvert radio which he prom
ised to use extensively in checking
on his colleagues representations
He declared he would write letters
of reproach whenever they made
mistakes. In retirement, he said. he
would give more attention to his
hobbies - manufacturing perfectly
useless articles" in his workshop and
raising flowers, the latter in CO.
operation with his wife.
Mr.. Calvert was said to have
known personally more than half
the chiefs of the worlds meteor
illogical services.
He is survived by his widow, Mrs.
Anna S. Calvert; daughter, Mrs.
Virginia c. Compton: a brother,
Samuel C. Calvert, and a sister, Miss
Binnie F. Calvert.

Three Derby Entrants
Given Preview Of
Prize Awards
Boys Are interviewed
By Bill CoyIe Over
Stution WMAL

Three Derby entrants from Mont
gomery Hills Junior High in Silver
Spring got preview yesterday of
a few of the main prizes to be given
on Soap Box Derby Day, July l3.
During an interview on the reg
ular Derby radio program over Sta
ton WMAL at AIS pm. yesterday,
Tom Horton, Bartlett HendrickSon
and Jack Herdt inspected Glass A
and B winners medals and the big
silver trophy to be awarded to the
Washington champion.
In addition, the boys saw the
fountain pen and pencil set to be
awarded to the boy making the
best upholstered Derby racer, and
one of the medals to be given to
each winner of a first-round elimi-
nation heat.
Bill Coyle, radio director of The
Star and a member of the Derby
General Committee, interviewed the
boys and announced the donation
of two special prizes by Selingers
Jewelry Store. The store will give
Gruen wrist watch and a West
field wrist watch to be awarded to
the boys building the best designed
cars.
Many Other Prizes.
In addition, there will be many,
other prizes, including tennis rackets,
baseball gloves. fishing equipment
and all sorts of sports equipment.
Derby Director zeb T. Hamilton
advised boys to register immedi-
ately for the third Washington run
ming of the Soap Box Derby.
After Saturday, June o." he
warned, you will not be able to
register, because the entrance rolls
will close on that day. There is still
time to build a racer for this years
Derby provided you start now and
stay with it."
Mr.. Hamilton told of plans for
the running of the race and de-
scribed what the young drivers
would see when their cars were
lined up ready to start.
He said the elimination rounds
this year would be run in heats
of three cars each, instead of four
as was done in 1888 and 1899.
More Room for Racing.
Running three boys in each heat
will mean there will be a greater
distribution of prizes" he pointed
out, land also 1t will mean each
boy will have more room in which
to race"
He emphasized that this years
course would be paved with con-
crete, and would have curbstones
on each side all the way down.
hill The course levels off at the
finish line, he said, and from then
on travels upgrade, making 1t cas-
ier for the cars to stop, and adding
a factor of safety.
Mr.. Coyle yesterday reminded
Derby entrants and fans of the
radio quiz program on the Derby
rules to be held over WMAL Sat-
urday from $50 to 10 am. Eight
f1nalists who survived elimination
contests will compete on the ques-
tions and answers program for
set of Derby wheels and three
cash prizes totaling 81.
