BYRD GIVEN LORE OF POLAR WEATHER New Zealand Meteorologist Is One of Many Cordially Assisting Expedition. By Cable to The Star and New York Times. WELLINGTON, New Zealand, No- vember 10.—Comdr. Richard E. Byrd spent the day visiting New Zealand officials, who have extended many courtesies to him. Custom rules were waived, transportation was offered and red tape was cut, for Comdr. Byrd caught the imagination of these people of a country still not far removed from its_pioneer days. First he called upon Premier Joseph G. Coates, who had just returned from a strenuous election tour. Mr. Coates extended the official welcome of New Zealand, congratulated the commander upon the thoroughness of his prepara- tions and offered any possible as- sistance. Later Comdr. Byrd called at the home of Sir Maui Pomar, the minister of the interior, a full-blooded Moari, a brilliant man and a close student of the history and origin of his people, He interested Comdr. Byrd greatly in telling of the correspondence between the Maori language and Sanskrit’ and the story of Hui-Te-Rangiora, the fa- mous Polynesian explorer, who journey- ed from Raro-tonga southward till he met drift ice, which he called the “Sea of Arrowfoot,” having' no name for snow. The minister presented to Comdr. Byrd a robe made of heavy New Zea- |land wool, similar to the robe present- | ed to the Prince of Wales. ‘The home of Sir Maui is on a hill | overlooking the beautiful Hutt Valley and, with his rare collection of Maori nilques, it made a delightful place to visit. Comdr. Byrd spent two hours con- ferring with Dr. Edward Kidson, the government meteorologist, an expert {cn Antarctic weather, who offered for the commander’s inspection his studies weather based on the Mrs. Martha A.

CITIZENS FAVOR BUSINESS HIGH PLAN Brightwood Group Seeks Retention of $400,000 Item in Budget Estimates, The Brightwood Citizens’ Association manimously voted last night at a meet- 1g in the Brightwood Bank Building, to use its endeavors to retain the item of $400,000 in the District estimates for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1930, for the new Business High School at Thir- teenth and Upshur street. ‘This action was taken following an address by John A. Riley of the Business High Alumni Association, who stated that the item was part of the five-year building program and was originally in the estimates, but when returned by |the Bureau of Budget for curtailment i this item was placed on the supplemen- tary list. The assoclation was advised by the Capital Traction Co. that it will repair | the roadway on Kennedy street between | Fifth street and Georgla avenue and i that assurances had been given by the District engineering department that ! the remaining portion of the thorough- fare would be repaired. With reference to the removal of the center trolley poles, the company stated that it had considered the association’s plea for re- moving the poles on Kennedy street east of Georgia avenue, but that it did not feel justified in undertaking this work at_the present time. ‘Warren B. Hadley, electrical engineer of the District, informed the associa- tion that the District Commissioners have ordered the erection of 250-can- dlepower lamps in inclosing globes on every side suspension span in staggered iarrangement from Colorado avenue to 'a point immediately east of Georgia avenue on Kennedy street, which is the limit of the railway pole construc- tion of the Capital Traction Co.

C., and her three little children, one a baby in her arms, is thought to be wandering about the city today penniless or attempting to obtain passage in some manner to Chicago. Salvation Army officials suggested that she even might have set out on foot, begging “lifts” along the road. She disappeared yesterday at 1 o'clock from her room, at 413 Sixth street, where she had been placed by the Sal- vation Army. She carried her meager baggage, Mrs. Ruth A. Fletcher said this morning. Arrived Here Wednesday. Mrs. Carso arrived at the Union Sta- tion Wednesday night and spent the njght there, she told the Traveler's Aid Society, which finally took her in charge. She said she and her husband were on their way to Chicago, after he had lost his job in Goldsboro. They had once lived in the Illinois city and been successful there, she said, and her husband decided to return, “hitch hik- ing his way.” The Salvation Army of Goldsboro, pald the railroad fare of herself and children as far as Wash- ington, she asserted. She was sent by the Travelers’ Aid to the Salvation Army headquarters at 607 E street and a room was found for her at. the Sixth street address. Mean- while the merits of her case were in- vestigated and it was decided to send 8| her on to Chicago. Money Comes Too Late. Yesterday morning, however, she went to the Travelers' Aid, and when she re- turned home about noon she was in tears. Without telling any one of her intention, she gathered together her belongings and left. About a half hour later a Salvation Army worker appeared at her lodgings with the money that was to have pald her railroad passage, and the news that the Salvation Army had found her to be of good character and were ready to send her to her venuit and Gen. Roberto Crus. NEW YORK-BOGOTA PLANE CHRISTENED Colombian Army Craft Named Recaude at Naval Air Station Ceremony. ‘The specially designed Curtiss Falcon seaplane in which Lieut.

NEW TRAFFICLIGHTS 10 START MONDAY Installations on Downtown Streets to Follow in Short Time. The first unit of an installation ef traffic lights in and about the congested downtown section of Washington will begin to function at 10 am. Monday, when automatic - signal lights will be turned on at Fourteenth and B streets and along Fourteenth-street southwest |at the intersection of B street southe west, Water street and the ‘two. drives ways from the Department of Agricule ture grounds. . ‘This will be followed at 10 a.m. Tues= day when traffic lights will be turned on along Rhode Island avenue from ’Iowa Circle to North Capitol street. A. | J. Driscoll, president of the Mid-City | Citizens’ ocfation, will turn the switch whid will put these lights in operation. Other Installations Planned. Following these installations,. lights are to be placed on the following streets: E street between Thirteenth street and Union Station Plaza; Seventh, Tenth and Thirteenth streets between E street and Massachusetts avenue; K street from Ninth to Eighteenth street; Eighte eenth street from H street to Massachu= setts avenue; G street from Sixth to Fourteenth street: ‘The lights will be installed in approx= imately the order named, although many delays may intervene. An isolated light at Eighth and H streets northeast will be turned on some time next week. Work on another light at New Jersey avenue and H street is practically completed, but the light will not be put in operation for some time, as the street at the corner is under repair. Will Have Overlapping Signals. All the new lights will have the overlapping . amber signal. According to this system, five seconds.before a red light is to change green the amber signal will flash and both red and amber will show for five seconds. Then red and amber will give way to green. Similarly, five seconds before the green light is to give way to red the amber will flash, and then the ! amber and green will go out together, giving place to the red. ‘Traffic Director Willlam H. Harland said today that with this o\'erllfp!nx system more efficient reading of the signals is possible. Under the old sys- tem, now used on Sixteenth street, a driver seeing an amber signal has no way of telling whether a red or green light is coming next. The Sixteenth street lights will be changed to the overlapping system, Harland said. One of the main reasons for selection of the locations for the lights, Harland pointed out, was the large number of accidents on streets on which the lights will be installed. Nine persons were killed on Rhode Island avenue in the section to be covered with the lights in the past three years, according to traf- flc accident statistics in the traffic di- rector’s office. The installations are part of & pro- gram of installing 810 lights approved at the past session of Congress. The ls is $44.35 each and the cost of installation $180.77. $200,000 Brewery i‘iu MONTREAL, November 10 (#).—Pire carly today destroyed the garage, stabjes for her. The baby is a year old.
