PITFALL USED, IS CHARGE Constable Demands $100 Expenses to Oust Destltote People and A-rers Man Slakes I.i-rin Off "Trapped" Houseboats. Ejecting a destitute old man. hi wife and three children from a houseboat ts an unenviable task. In the opinion of Constable Weinberger. and if the houseboat Is located on dry land and must be moved, it is a difficult task as -well. The constable demanded $100 expenses to accomplish the task, and "'ircuit Judge McGinn refused yester day to issue a writ of mandamus to C. B. Canuto ordering: the Constable to do it for S. Deputy Constable Wertheimer avers that a "houseboat trap" is being- op erated at the foot of Nebraska street, where' Mr. Canuto has leased two blocks of waterfront from" J. iS. Ed wards, president of the Baldwin Sheep Land Company. Many hourfeboats are anchored there some distance from the water. Boat fa Trapped. The bank at this point is high, but a Tittle farther inland the land sinks almost to water level. In high water the entire section is Inundated. Some vears ago a houseboat floated over the bank In Such water and anchored. The water receded, and the owner of the boat found himself shut oft from the water by a high wall. His home was aground. , Then fame Mr. Canto and demanded rent. The family paid, put blocks un der their house to make it set level and prepared to stay. The man, however, contracted con sumption and could not work. The wife and three children were thrown on harlty. For months they did not pay their rent to .Mr. Canto. Ho brought uit. Tiistrirt Judge Jones signed an order for ejectment. The Constable refused to eject the family unless Mr. Canuto would put up 1100 for expenses. Mr. Canuto offered 15 expenses and asked the Circuit Court for a writ ol mandamus. .ludse Refuses to Issue Order. "This case was etarled in district Court, and jt had 1etter be settled there." said Judee McGinn. "I'll not order the Constable to eject this desti tute family from the houseboat over the bend of the District Court." Constable Weinberger declares Mr. Canuto has made a living off of house boats which have floated lushore at times of high water and have found themselves stranded when the water re ceded. "In the last four years." he said, "'we have had at leat 40 suits exactly simi lar to this from this same strip of waterfront. We hava a right to de mand expenses for an ejectment, and we'll not turn a destitute family outside except as a. last resort." childhood has been a famous player of the harp, will entertain, ilrs.

Thompson Declares That Consolidation Is Merely Application of Centralizing Power of Business World to Commercial Organization. CONSOLIDATION TALK NO. 1:2. rwT IS the general olicy in this j period of acute competition of all large and progressive manufac turing, financial and business organiza tions to concentrate wherever possible without Impairing efficiency or mate rially reducing returns," declares E. L. Thompson, of the Hartman & Thompson bank, in commenting upon the consoli dation movement for the commercial or ganizations now in progress in Port land. "One of the conspicuous means em ployed to this end is to centralize the administrative snd operative power in strong heads or managers and fixing responsibility within more circum scribed field. Greater results are found to follow where the direction and con trol of a business is put directly in the hands ot one man of ability than where there is a scattered division of control and direction. In other words, brains are worth money ill any concern. The man who can produce results is worth more than the mediocre man. "In the consolidation of the commer cial organization we will be following In principle and doing in effect for the whole of Portlad what the alert busi ness concern has found best as applied to its manner ef operation. "We will be centralizing the forces of the city for its interests in one con trolling and operating body, thus get ting rid of the duplication of these functions as heretofore found in trying to carry forward this work through several organizations. In securing a manager wo will have means for get ting someone able to cope with the con ditions and bring to the organization greater efficiency than was possible with the funds split up Into salaries for a number of secretaries or managers for the various organizations.

"From every point of view from which a business man may look at it, the move for consolidation must be con sidered the right one for Portland and should receive the encouragement aqd support of every thinking man."

The students of the Montavllla School for the past two weeks have spent their spare time in destroying a total Simple Way to. End Dandruff There 1b ons sure way that has never failed to remove dandruff at once, and that Is to dissolve it, then you destroy It entirely. To do this, Just get about four ounces of plain, common liquid arvon from any drugstore (this Is all you will need), apply It at night when retiring, use enough to moisten the scalp and rub It in gently with the finger tips. By morning, most if not all, of your dandruff will be gone, and three or four more applications will completely dis. solve, and entirely destroy, every single sign and trace of it, no matter how much dandruff you may have. You will find all itching and digging of the scalp will stop instantly and your hair will be fluffy, lustrous, glossy, silky and soft, and look and feel a hundred times better.
