GENTLE APPROVAL
 FOR STATE BOARD
Examiners Slight to Pine Bluff Causes Adoption of Resolution, Asking That Examinations Be Held at Place
 of Convention.

Pharmacists, at it's session yesterday afternoon, adopted a resolution of fered by "A. L. Morgan of Camden, that hereafter the examinations con- ducted by the state board of examin- CTS for pharmacists shall be held in the city where the annual convention of the pharmacists association Is held, and in conjunction with the convention.
 The resolution was adopted after shcrt discussion of the reasons why the state board of examiners held an examination at Little, Rock Monday, after changing the original plans to hold the examination in Pine Bluff on the opening day of the pharmacists convention.
 Frank Schachleiter of Hot Springs. a member of the board of examiners, was the only member Of the board on the floor of the convention when one of the members asked for information in the matter. He stated that he did not know why the original plans had been changed by ihe board, not hav- ing been in attendance at the board meeting when it was decided to hold the examinations at Little Rock. He stated that he had protested against the change, however. He expressed the belief that the change was made without any thought whatever of the views of members of the pharmacists association. the oversight not becom. ing noticeable until tn candidates had board at Little Rock. The adoption of MT. 'Morgan's resolution settled the matter. :!
 Want Uniform Prices.
 The association also adopted 9 resolution in which it went on record as strongly favoring and supporting the Stevens bill, now pending in the national congress. The Stevens bill demands that all articles of com merce shall be sold at uniform price, by manufacturer, wholesaler and retailer, and that the price shaQr be plainly marked. Not only the druggists. but retailers in all lines are affected by the bill, according to the speakers this afternoon. During the discussion, it was pointed out by several speakers that the cut-rate evil will be killed by the adoption of this bill. although several speakers expressed the fear that the manu- facturers might attempt to take ad- vantago of the retailer by increasing his price on the article without in- creasing the price to the' consumer. Vigorous and concerted action on the part of ths retailers. however. it was nointed out. would have the right ef- feet on manufacturers who take such action. T. A.
