MEMBER FEDERAL
 TRADE BOARD OUT

Washington. May 15.-The nomina- ton of George Rubiee of New Hamp- shire as a member of the federal trade commission, was rejected today by the senate. Senator Gallinger Republican leader. had opposed the nominee for 15 months on the ground that he was "personally obnoxious to him, and the power of the sehdtro- ial courtesy tradition was so great that he won his fight by a, vote of AZ to 36, in spite of vigorous and ln- sistent work by the administration for confirmation.
 Mir. Rublee, who has been serving on the commission since soon after it was created. will lose his post and draw no salary for his work unless the senate action is reconsidered.
 Five Republicans voted for his con- frmation and IA Democrats voted again. The Democrats included Broussard of Louisiana and Clarke of Arkansas. Mir. Ruhlee, regarded as progressive, was first nominated for three years by President Wilson in February, 1915.

HEALTH OFFICER
 BLANkENSHIP
 WARNS COUNCIL
City Must Provide Other Means of Disposing of
 Garbage and Offal.

Dr. w. H. Blankenship. county health officer, and representative of the state board of health. last night informed the city council that unless the city takes steps to dispose of it's garbage and offal, other than by dumping it at the present dumping grounds, he will be compelled to ob- tain an injunction preventing the city from continuing it's present method of disposal.
 Dr. Blankenship told the city coun- cil what they have been told on sev eral occasions in the past, by Mayor Bloom and by Chairman Simpson of the councils sanitary committee, that the garbage is being dumped in places where the current does not move it
 into the river. He told the council also that as result of not being moved by the current, the dumping grounds are serious menaces to the public health, as we'll as being viola tions of the state and federal laws. and that it was shame a city the size of Pine Bluff could not find some other method of garbage disposal, He mentioned that an incinerating plant might sclve the difficulty. The council discussed the matter briefly and finally decided that the mayor name committee to see what can be done by the city in it's impoverished | condition, the mayor naming Alder man Simpson. Alderman Veil and Dr | Withers, chairman of the board o1 public affairs, as the committee.

are so full of the mutual hatred and quarreling of parents. The possible famiies-when not those laborlng under a condition of sickness, unem- ployment, or bad environment, which can be remedied-are simply those afflicted with lack of understanding, those unduly strict or stingy, or else uniformed, careless and blinu to facts.
 The only thing to do when you strike the former class is to remove your boy or girl at once to the proper institution if you have iD, or school, or home, and in common humanity turn the family over to the nearest appropriate agency or court, if your court has no adult Jurisdiction. But to remove child from the latter class of family, without first making a\ huge effort to square that family with the normal world about it, is merely a confession of weakness. And in order to succeed in that ef- fort it is a truism to say that you must first get, by imagination, such a family's angle of vision on child and on life in general before you can try process of substitution of ideas.
 Different Kinds of Families.
 But the angles are bewilderingly varied! I often wish that when Aristotle wrote down the seven q think it was seven) original plots upon which all the stories of the world are based, he had also classi. fled, for the benefit of future genera. tions of probation officers, the seven original kinds of families, so that one l could pigeon-hole the new and omi'

Pro- vided, that is, that he has family decent enough. in the crudest senses of the word for him to continue to live with at all.

GENERAL SCOTT IS OPTIMISTIC
 OVER MEXICO

Washington, May 15.-Both the state department and General Car ranza are awaiting detailed cepor S of the recent Fl Paso military con feernces before seeking an agree ment as to the Mexican border through diplomatic conversation.
 General Scott returned here today optimistic over the military situation, and confident that the meeting be- tween himself and General Funston and General Obregon Carranza's $ war ministers. had created better undet tstanding which might furnish the basis for formal protocol.
 The chief of staff was in need of rest, and did not see Secretary Lans- ing. He reported to Secretary Baker, but the full discussion of his conversation with Obregon will come later.
 War and state department advices showed no change in the situation in Meixco and along the border.

DENMARK ONCE A POWER.
When the Tiny Kingdom Conquered
and Ruled Great Britain.

Among the little nations Of Europe,
except when some vessel contrives to
thread its dangerous way through the,
Skagerrack and Cattegat. Then Den,
mark comes into the daily news. Did,
you know that Great Britain was once
ruled from the capital Of this tiny and
remote kingdom? ,
1t has been almost 800 years since
the stalwart Canute completed the
conquest of England, eXpelling both
the Celtic and the Saxon rulers of the
British Isles. When he had completed
his conquest and soothed the feelings
of his new subjects by marrying the
widow of their former king he added
Norway to his crown possessions. One
OF his successors ruled over the whole
of the Scandinavian peninsula and a
large section of what is now German
and Russian territory, surrounding the
| Baltic sea.
Today Denmark dips one hand in the
icy waters Of the north and the other
in the blue gulf stream. for she rules

Pitching a Camp Tent.

The spot where your tent is to stand
should be open. Have it as close to
the woods as you wish, but SO that the
sun will shine on your tent. Sunlight
is the healthiest thing in the world. 1t
is the best disinfectant. If you pitch
your tent under the thick trees there
will always be an unhealthy damrness,
and mosquitoes will flock in. Then,
too. III thunderstorms there is less dam
ger in the open than under trees. The
all important reason, however. for
pitching your tent in the open is the
matter of health.
DO not put up the tent in a hollow.
Water will lodge under it with the first
shower. Set it on a little knoll. All
this holds good. whether you use an
y tent. wall tent, lean to or any other
sort OF shelter. Once the tent is up in
place dig a drain around it exactly un-
der the edge of the canvas, SO that all
the water will run off the tent into this
drain and be carried away. Peter
Johnson in st. Nicholas.
