LARGEST MAP I'M WORLD NEAR END.
Finishing Touches Are Be- ing Put On-l7 Years
 Under Construction
ByLEwTs MARcv

United Press Stan Correspondent Wellesley, Mass, Dec. 11-(UP)- Peering down from his scaffoId above the Rocky Mountains, Dr. Wallace ". Atwood, Jr., paused to- day to describe his work on the larg- est United States map ever made.
 Dr. Atwood was putting the finish ing touches on the $1S0, 900 project n years under construction.
 The relief model covers 5000 square feet and weighs more than 10 tons. A two-story building was constructed at Babson institute to house the map.
 It measures 64 feet from Atlantic to Pacific and 46 feet from Canada to Mexico. One inch represents four miles. The map is the first to be built on a curved surface. The curve rises seven feet in exact proportion to the earth's curvature.
 Babson Conceived Plan Roger w. Babso1, statisticiai1 who founded the institute, conceived the giant-map idea during the World war and discussed it with Dr. George w. Coleman, then president of the institute. In 1923 they or ganized a national map committee which raised funds for the project.
 The famed Harvard geographic sculptor George Carroll Curtis was hired but died two years after be- ginning the task. Work proceeded spasinodically until January, 1888, when 34 year old Dr. Atwood took charge. He is professor of physiog- graphy at Clark university, Worces- ter.
 His assistants have been a dozen young men, mostly graduate students who hope to become geography teachers, geologists or cartog- rapheYs.
 Spectators must stand on a 15- foot balcony to view the entire model which has buff- -colored land and blue water bodles. The coun- try's highest mountain, Mt. Whitney in California, stands A inches on the map though it really is 14,4s5 feet high.
 Big Military Value
 Ourng WaT"CLIS CI1e IuOOel WOuu have tremendous military value, Dr. Atwood said. "Airplane pilots easily could be taught the nations topog- raphy. Also if the United States were attacked, the map would be use- full in planning and directing de- lenses"
 Twelve hundred moldled plaster of paris blocks form the maps sur face. Each block measures one de- gree latitude by one degree longi- ture. Molds for each section are stored in vault so re-casting may be made whenever necessary. Then too, other copies of sections could be made for states, utility companies or other groups.
 Careful hours of delicate model ing and casting were spent on each block. Details maps for only 55 per cent ofthe United States were avail able, making it necessary to make original ones for the remaining ter ritory.
 For the present, Dr. Atwood said the model's use would be chiefly edu- catioral and research.

 He held the trust and confid- ence of men in every walk ot life. In his short span of years, he gathered a lifetime of eXper- fences.
 He met his death at the age of 32 years, while on search ing flight for another pilot of his concern who with three passen- gers, a woman and her baby and man had been lost near the Yukon River in the vicinity of Nulato.

 Surviving him are his widow Madeleine Mirow, his two dau- ghters Ann Marie and Madeleine Joyce, all of Nome; his mother and father and brother and sis ter all of Hamburg, Germany To them goes out the sympathy and understanding of every pio- neer and citizen.

ghter of Mir and Mrs Chas. l. Calkins and Hans Mirow were married at Nome. Two daughters were born to them, Ann Marie and Madeleine Joyce Mirow, the former five years and the latter six months old.
 Ever progressive and ambitious for this section of Alaska, Hans Mirow devoted his untiring abil- ities and energies to the devel- opment of air transportation.
 He was especially concerned in bringing about the transporta- tion of mail, passengers and freight by air, claiming that the country required speedy, econom ic means of transportation.
 Through his efforts the Mirow Air Service became the largest Nome operated air concern, fly ing to all parts of Seward Pen insula, supplying service match ed by none. The Mirow Air Ser vice under his direction contin- ued it's growth and many through trips to Seattle from Nome were made by Mirow and his pilots His company supplied service to all parts of the Territory and Mi row was rated as one of the most capable and experienced fliers ir Alaska,
 In company with other Alaska pilots, Hans Mirow was ever ready to go to the assistance o1 his fellows. His many trips on emergency mercy missions broad cast his name throughout the United States.
 He carried the distinction o1 being the first pilot to fly from Nome to Nunivak Island. On { mercy mission he brought to tht hospital at Nome the teacher or St. Lawrence Island, Mrs. Frank Daugherty. He was also the frs pilot to land an airplane on tht international date line between Big and Little Diomede Island! in the middle of Boring Straits

Funeral Service For Hans Mirow Held Saturday

Funeral services were held for the late Hans Mirow founder of the Mirow Air Service, at 2 pm Saturday Dec. 30 at the Federal ed Church, with Rev. Wilbur P. Wood officiating.
 The coffin rested immediately In front of the church roStrum and was literally covered with beautiful floral wreaths, while other flowers were draped across the front on both sides of it.
 MT and Mrs Bjarne Olsen sang three beautiful duets accompan- jed by organist Robert Baldwin.
 The Rev. Wood delivered a sol emn prayer and quoted many highlights from the obituary of MT. Mirow. His scriptural deliv- cry was inspiring and many were the friends and close ac- oMaintances who were deeply af- fected.
 Hans Mirow was born in Ger nAany in 1907. He served as a seaman in the German merchant marine, making his first entry into the United States at Hono- lulu, from which point he went to Portland, Ore. to study avia- tion.
 With the famous Tex Rankin as his mentor, he soon became qualified as a pilot and mechanic and held co-pilot's rating with the Western Air Express.
 In 1881 he came to Nome and became associated with the Nor thern Air Transport Inc, Nome's first local commercial air service.
 In 1884 he entered business for himself, starting the Mirow Air Service which at the time of his death carried the distinction of beng the largest locally owned individual service in the Terri tory, with a fleet of seven planes.

TO "ASTONIS'I IHE WoRLD?"

Godfrey Haggard, British consular Of
fetal in this country, believes that the
peoples of the countries occupied by Ger
many are building up their strength and
that there will, some day, emerge an
al ned alliance that will ''astonish the
world, including Hitler
We. trust the gentleman is correct.
Certainly, there is no reason why the peo-
pies of the conquered nations should be
satisfied with their lot under their German
masters. The will to strike blow for
their cwn liberation undoubtedly exists
but just low and where and when is a
mystery to US.
Frankly. we would not advise the peo-
pie of the British empire to count too
heavily upon any armed uprising in the
conquered lands A rebellion against
German army of occupation, just now,
would have little chance of success in any
nation. If the British are able to inflict
decisive defeat upon Germany the rebel
lions will fiare-up, rapidly enough, on the
heels of the retreating Teutons, whose
position will be precarious.

Many merchants and townspeople

with them by waiting to purchase
necessities on Sunday.
