CITY COUNCIL DISCUSSES
 IMPROVEMENTS FOR WELFARE

The condition of the streets in many places as well as several side walks was one of the subjects which received the attention of the Doug las City Council at their monthly meeting last night. In some places where the sidewalk is broken through and where there is very little travel. it was decided to simply close the street to public travel for the winter. It is up to the property owners 10 keep their sidewalks in repair and when they fail to do that the city can either order the repairs made, charge the costs against the proper ties, or close the streets. It was decided to repair Front Street as far as the sawmfll.
 The street light service was dis cussed and ways and means of mak- ing same of the greatest adequacy at the least expense were considered.
 The matter of obtaining more improved mail service between Ju- neau and Douglas was brought up and it was decided to take steps to- ward getting schedule in force which will give the Island one serv- ice in the forenoon and one in the afternoon instead of two in the after noon as there is now.

COMMISSIONER
 FOR F|L|P|N0S
 IS NOW WANTED
New Office Is Proposed in etition is Now
 Being Circulated.

HONOLULU, T. H., Oct. 31.--A petition to the Filipino Legislature for the creation of an office to be known as the resident commissioner of Hawaii, who shall reside in the Territory to serve the interests of Filipino laborers, is being circulated for signatures by union leaders here and will be forwarded to Manila in the near future.
 The petition was drafted by Pablo Manlapit, president of the Filipino Labor Union, following the adoption by a Filipino mass meeting Of a resolution authorizing the action.
 Your petitioners interests in the Territory have been unprotected for the past 15 years and as most or them are uneducated serious mis- understandings are apt to arise, the petition states. Such misunder- standings resulted in the sugar plan tation strike of 1920 and for time it looked as though it would be i'm possible to restore harmonious feel ing between your petitioners ana their employers.
 For the most part, the Filipinos felt there was no intention on the part of their employers to treat them fairly and in accordance with the promises held out to them. This situation was doubly unfortunate; it madt most of our petitions unhappy and discontented with their situation in Hawaii; and it took from the employers a great mass of needed labor.
 Your petitioners do not desire repetitions of the said past occur ences and if cur petition is granted the commissioner could adjust dis putes between capital and labor. and

PRACTICAL HINTS.

When oilipg the car look for oil
holes that are plugged up with dirt
and clean them out with piece of
wire. All holes should be covered
with a small oil cup. but sometimes
manufacturers do not take this pre-
caution and occasionally the cup is
knocked off. leaving the hole open to
catch dust. This allows grit to enter
and keeps out the oil.
Every time tire Is changed a light
coating Of graphite and shellac or a
mixture of graphite and grease should
be rubbed on the rim. This will pre-
vent the tire from sticking and save
time. Rust patches should be re-
moved with sandpaper, but. If very
large, can best be removed with a file
followed by the sandpaper. finishing
with graphite as mentioned.
Keep watch on the srokes Of the
wheels. especially IL the car is an old
one. If they can be shaken, tighten
the bolts on the flanges Of the hub. II
they are still loose. consult a wheel
wright, as there is danger of broken
wheel and loss of life if this is neg
lected.
A skilled driver rarely uses his
brakes. except for an emergency stop
or on hill. He has learned to Judge
the distance and allows his car to
coast to the point where he wishes to
stop. This saves the brake Innings
