Mexico City's Cathedral
Now Being Repaired

MEXICO, D. F.. Sept. 14-Mex-
leo City's historic and beautiful
cathedral, which dominates the 70
Gallo, has been disappointment to
visitors IN recent years because of
the sad disrepair into which the
building had been allowed to fall
Now, however, due to the relaxing
OF restrictions on church expendi-
lures and activities, the floor of the
great cathedral is being tiled with
new mosaic, and many other neces-
sary repairs are being made.
At the same time the government
Is cooperating in the movement to
provide an adequate museum to
house church art treasures. In a
large lot just behind the cathedral
itself, a Museum of Christian COL
onial Art will be built, where carved
cruciflxes. oil paintings. sculptures,
robes, jewels and many other art
treasures of Mexican churches will
be on display.

goes after it with the same ferver
as do they.
The Hollowell cottage, known as
the Wreckage, contains at least one

port is vastly superior to any of the
worlds famous capital airports. For
most airports gliding angle of
20-to-1 is considered sufficient. This
means that in order to land on the
near end of the proper runway after
clearing buildings, hills, trees or
other distractions in the vicinity
the approaching plane must de-
scend l foot for each 20 feet of
forward motion.
At the new airport approaches
may be made to any runway at an
angle as shallow as 40-to-l, engi-
neers point out, thus providing twice
the standard safety factor in this
respect. From most directions the
approaches are over water, guaran-
teeing there will be no future build
ings, trees or other distractions.
There is rising land on only one
side of the airport, and this occu-
pies only III per cent of the entire
compass circle around the landing
field. Against this hillside will be
located all the airport buildings, so
that they will not add any addi-
tional obstruction. Essential struc-
lures at any airport must constitute
inescapable distractions. 1t is un-
usual if they occupy as little as 10
per cent of the circle around the
airport. At Gravelly Point the de-
sign has been so planned that the
unavoidable obstruction presented
by the buildings comedies without
loss of efficiency with the only nat
ural approach limitation presented
by low hill to the west.
But the hill and the buildings are
not regarded as real "obstructions'
in the commonly accepted sense of
the word, since both are low enough
to permit planes to land or take off
safely across them. Even this will
not be necessary, however, since the
runways have been so arranged that

Design for Airport.
A modernized classical design,
conforming with the principal Fed
eral architectural motif of the Cap
ital has been decided upon for the
airport structures after months of
painstaking studies of various types
of architecture, ranging from the
Colonial type symbolized at Mount
Vernon through the most advanced
efforts of the modernlStic school.
Preliminary drawings and detailed
models were made of many types of
buildings before the present de-
signs were selected and approved by
more than IL Federal agencies which
have been concerned directly or in
directly with the airport plans, in
cluding both the National Capital
Park and Planning Commission and
the Commission of Fine Arts.
The terminal building itself is to
be in the base of the gentle slope
rising above the airport site to the
ruins of Abingdon and the site of
the new highway research labora-
tory buildings, which probably will
be turned over to the Civil Aeronau-
tics Authority during 1910. Because
of this slope, the airport side of the
terminal building will be a story
higher than the side toward Mount
Vernon highway Automobile roaGs
on two levels will serve the termi-
nal, the upper for ordinary traffic,
the lower for taxicabs, mail trucks
and service vehicles.
The upper approach roads will
form a great semi-circle connected
by modified traffic cloverleaf with
the highway. The central feature
of the terminal building will be the
great waiting room, full two
stories high, entered through an
eight = columned colonnade facing
the approach drive and the highway.
On either side of the colonnade
will be approaches to an expansive
observation terrace. on 3 level with
the roadways on the approach side,
Evening star., 1940-01-14

President and distinguished guests:
This room will be reached by a sep
arate road leading from the upper
level traffic circle. This road also
will give normal access to. the fly
ing field, mail, express and baggage
rooms, and service quarters of the
airlines operating from Washing
ton. These airlines will be given
space on the ground floor, facing
the airport, for their dispatchers,
flight and mechanical crews, serv-
icemen and service equipment.
Terraced parking areas on three
levels, separated by a differenc in
elevation of four feet, will provide
space for 5000 automobiles, while
emergency parking areas for 5000
additional cars are provided. There
will be normal provisions for about
5000 spectators, with emergency
space for almost unlimited numbers
for special occasions.
This airport was conceived as
Nations Capital City," it was ex-
planned by Robert H. Hinckley
chairman of the 6. A. A. 1T was
conceived as a model for what other
such terminals may be.
Esthetic Requirements.
washington, of course, was for
tunate in the possession of site
capable of development so close to
the city. But that very proximity
imposed esthetic obligations never
before incurred in airport construc-
ton in this country. Not only have
those esthetic obligations been met
in these plans. but, We feel sure. the
utilitarian necessities have been
met for the present and for as far
into the future as our knowledge of
aeronautics can reach"
The airport project was approved
by President Roosevelt on Septem-
ber 81, 1888, and plans for imme-
diate construction were announced
by the G. A. A. the following day.

light rain, Mr.. Roosevelt watched
the Army dredge Dalecarlia move
the first bucket of fill.
All the runway sites were
trenched down to underlying hard
sand and gravel, an average of II
feet of silt being removed by this
operation. The runways then
were filled with heavy gravel and
clean sand from extensive deposits
in the river, which were located
by test borings. 1t was these large
gravel banks which gave their
name to Gravelly Point. For the
purposes of the engineers in charge
of the hydraulic fill, headed by Col.
r. S. Thomas, these deposits were
ideal. They made possible the con-
struction of runways which will be
subject to practically no settling
and which can be paved for use as
soon as they are lveled.
The shortest of the runways is
as long as the longest at the old
airport; and the longest-in the
direction of the prevailing winds
are the northwest-sout.- run
way, with a length of $500 feet,
and the northeast-southwest, with
a length of 1920 feet. The north
south runway is 6,875 feet long and
the east-west, extending into the
valley of Four Mile Run, is 4,20O
feet long. The airport buildings
are located in the angle between
the east-west and Notwithstanding
east runWays.

pitched a one-hit, 4-to-0 victory
over the Chicago Cubs before H.

Hack also drew a walk in the
fourth inning, being the only Cub
to reach first base against the superb
control ahd curve-ball pitching Of
the Redland ace. 1t was Derringer's
10th victory, as against seven de-
feats, and his second one-hitter
of the season. Stu Martin of the
st. Louis Cards got the only hit
of him last May 26.
Reds Win at Outset.
The Reds settled the issue in the
first inning. Lew Riggs, subbing
for Bill Werber, who is out with
sore leg muscle, doubled to left
and Lonnie Frey drew walk from
Rookie Jake Mooty. Ival Goodman
struck out, then Frank Mccormick
smacked home run over the left
field wall. The other run came in
the fourth, when Harry Craft
walked, went to second on a wild
pitch and scored on Riggs single.
Derringer retired the first nine
men to face him, gave his only base
on balls to Hack at the start of
the fourth, then retired eight more
batters before Hack smacked a slow
ball just inside the right-fleId foul
line. Unperturbed by this blow,
Derringer then retired the next 10
men in order, the closest thing to
hit being Pinch-hitter Dominic
