of Best-Lighted Communities
in County,

Special Dispatch to The Star.
ROCKVILLE. Md. February AT a
conference to be held here Tuesday eve
ming between representatives of the
Potomac Electric Power Co. of Wash
ington and the mayor and council Of
Rockville an agreement is expected to
be entered into whereby Rockville will
be much better lighted town
The plan of town authorities IL IN
replace 60-candle power lights now in
use on all streets with much Stronger
luminaries. and to considerably increase
the number.
According to present plans. 2SO-
candle power lights will be Installed
the entire length of Montgomery ave
nue., the towns main thoroughfare. and
to place similar lights on Baltimore
street from its intersection with Mont-
gomery avenue, at the foot of the Cat
olic Church hill, to the Baltimore A.
Ohio Railroad. On all other streets
10o-candle power lights will be in
stalled
When the more powerful lights are
in use, Rockville is expected to be one

cial condition of the town is said to be
excellent, and the additional lighting
cost will not embarrass it.

BYRD AIDES FIGHT

OF our camp yesterday provided oreaK
IN the monotony of waiting for the ice
pack to make up its mind whether 10
let our ship come through and take us
home.
The blaze started from gasoline which
had spilled from a blow-torch ano
burned under the snow till it reached
some boxes. With the use of fire eX-
tinguisherS, snow and useless advice
from the bystanders, it was put out
after few minutes and did not cause
much damage.
During the fire a dog with mis-
guided sense of humor ran off with
Admiral Byrd's windproof pants, which
he had been carrying under his arm
and had put down for moment. Ii
the dog had not tripped on them, the
admiral would probably be looking Tor
another pair.
Altogether it was a very successful
fire. although fires are not recon-
mended as diversion down here.
News that Capt Sir Hubert Wilkins
on his ship, the Scoresby, had not been
heard from for a week has caused great
interest here and has aroused the hope
that only radio failure was the cause
of his silence,
The last word Admiral Byrd received
from Capt. Wilkins indicated that he
was still looking for a field from which
he could take off for Little America
apparently to the southwest of Peter
Island, and he asked when the Byrd eX-
petition expected to leave here.
His messages have indicated that il
he could not find a suitable base from
which to take off with skis. Capt. Will
kins would be forced to limit himself tc
short flights, using pontoonS.

IN TARHEEL CAMPAIGN
North Carolina Governor Says It
Would Be Improper for Him
to Be Active in Primary.

Gov. o. Max Gardner of North Caro-
lima announced in a statement issued
here yesterday that he would consider
it highly improper" to take a part in
the approaching Democratic primary.
The statement was interpreted in
some circles at the Capital as meaning
a hahds-off policy by the governor in
the effort of j. w. Bailey, Raleigh, to
defeat Senator Simmons for the Demo-
cratic senatorial nomination. Simmons
refused to support Alfred E. Smith as
the party nominee in the last presi-
Dental election.
