Gov. O. Max Gardner of North Caro- lina 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 omas, refused to support Alfred E. Smith as the party nominee in the last presi- dential election.

By Radio to The Star and the New York | Times, LITTLE AMERICA, Antarctica, Feb-| ruary 6.—A fire in the radio storehouse of our camp yesterday provided a break | in the monotony of waiting for the ice | rlck to make up its mind whether to | et our ship come through and take us | home. The blaze started from gasoline which | had spilled from a blow-torch and | 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 a 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 a moment. If the dog had not tripped on them, the admiral would probably be looking for another pair. Altogether it was a very successful fire, although fires are not recom- mended as a 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 Jooking 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- pedition expected to leave here. His messages have indicated that if { he could not find a suitable base from which to take off with skis, Capt. Wil- kins would be forced to limit himself to short flights, using pontoons. Our radio station has not been in communication with him directly at any time, messages having to be re- Overcoats), now at .

Md., February T.—At & conference to be held here Tuesday eve- ning between representatives 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 a much better lighted town, The plan of town authorities is to replace 60-candle power lights now in use on all streets with much s'ronger luminaries, and to considerably increase the number. According to present plans, 3250- candle power lights will be installed the entire length of Montgomery ave- nue, the town's main thoroughfare, and to place similar lights on Baltimore street from its intersection with Moni- gomery avenue, at the foot of the Cats olic Church hill, to the Baltimore & Ohio Raflroad. On all other streets 100-candle power lights will be in- stalled. ‘When_the more powerful lights are in use, Rockville is expected to be one of the best illuminated communities in the county. Their maintenance will mean increased expense, but the finan- cial condition of the town is said to be excellent, and the additional lighting cost will not embarrass it.
