THE HEADLIGHT MENACE

This afternoon. the corOner's jury is investi-
eating the death of Chinese auto-owner and
driver struck and killed, according to best in
formation, by taxicab driven at a cOmpara-
lively slow rate. The facts so far as they have
been learned by the police today, show that the
taxicab driver, a Japanese was driving
along King street The Chinese, crouched he
hind his car, was attempting to fix a tire. His
car was not lighted. The taxicab driver crashed
into the unlighted car, and the Chinaman was
killed. The japanese asserts, and the police
credit the assertion, that he was blinded by the
glaring headlights of a large car approaching
from the opposite direction, 50 blinded that he
could not see the unlighted car in front of him.
This matter of powerful headlights is one
that Honolulu must take up and Regulate, as
other cities are doing. In many mainland cities
now the strong searchlights have been prohibited

CITY BEREAVEMENT


Retrenchment came up for much discussion
at the meeting of the supervisors last night, and
it is evident that this, in connection with the
good roads plan, is being taken up in earnest.
Retrenchment can be accomplished in more
ways than one 1t does not necessarily mean
cutting salaries or dismissing employees. Get
ting more work for the same amount of money is
Tctrenchment.
Retrenchment of this kind can certainly be
put into effect in the road department. Anycnc
who observes road-gang for ten or fifteen min
utes will understand why it takes four or five
times as long for the city to do a given piece of
work as it would for private individual. The
load-workers need competent direction, compe
tent supervision and last, but not least, the
knowledge that if they. loaf on the >city's time
they. are as likely to be discharged as if they
were loafing on the time of a private employer.

Fruit men are feeling fine over
the fact that there has been a drop

days, of this week already forced
the fruit buds but they are still
small enough to Withstand the cold
weather that may follow.
West Virginia is becoming one
of the best fruit growing states in
the Union and the only drawback
that it, has is the liability of the
crop to be lost on account of the
buds being forced by the warm
days lin winter tand then killed by
the chill of the cold days in the
spring.
So far the fruit crop is safe and
there is the promise Of "A wonder.
