17 years of prohibition.
Citizen by thousands cheered as
police cars, Blrcro open, rushed to de
liver retail liquor permits to 200
clubs, restaurants, hotels and night
clubs. The dash started on the dot
of midnight.
In the crowds Rt the nlghtepoU
were many of the personages who are
nationally recognized by day. : But
the imbibers were orderly, and by lo-
cal law the supply was shut off at
3:00 a. m. t
Others waited for their first legal
sips until 1,000 licensed retail estab
lishments opened at 0 a. m. for sale
by the drink.
The National Press club, whoso li
cense was No. 1, claimed to have
popped the first proper cork.

PORTLAND, Ore. W) Foreign ex
ports through tho port of Portland
In February showed a 23 per cent in
crease In value over the corresponding
month a year ago, the merchants'
exchange announced. Bookings fully
as heavy for March wero predicted.
In tho month ended the total val
ue of foreign shipments from Port
land was $3,314,369, compared to 91.
057,650 for February last year.
The gain was attributed to several
factors, among them being the better
exchange balance of tho govern
ments subsidy program for clearing
out tho northwest's wheat surplus.

has been the case within a genera

Tho new double breasted drape
that is being worn by the smartly
dressed Easterner in more becom
ing in every way and easier to wear
than the coat as originally designed.
A greater fullness at tho chest and
shoulder blades makes for complete
case, but the most distinguishing
change on this Blyle is the wider
placement of the buttons.
Tho newest trousers taper sharp
ly to the bottom and tho plaits are
deener. Sleeves, too. are tanered
'which 'helps to achieve an air of
naturalness and ease. Iho cash
flap pocket and Franklin stitching
are to bo seen on tho coats created
by some, of the better makers.
I There's eood ncwB for tho man

wants distinction wiii approve.
Most men will welcome the re

advent win be a relief from the
' sameness of worsteds so long in
'vogue. The newer, smarter St.

' tern innovations that will give men
a new interest in clothing.
C.W.A.WAGES
TO BE CHANGED
Charles B. Miller, manaper for this
rnimtv nt n. W. A., received notice
this morning that bcginnlm; tomor- !
row, March 2. C.W.A. workers would ;
operate on a lower wage scale. The
Information Is expected soon.
Whether you prefer double
breasted or Bingle-breated itylea,
you can now indulge in the jauntier
appearance given By patch poefcets.
This style treatment is no longer
confined to summer apparel the
new, deeper patch, pockets are
styled to look particularly well with
plain or neat effects in either un
finished or rough fabrics. Franklin
stitching, as used by ; one well
known maker, does much to en
hance the appearance of the patch
pocket coat.
For this spring the success of the
Talon closing device is assured. No
man who has experienced the neater
effect, the more tailored appearance
this gives his trousers will ever go
back to the old construction.
My observations have incjaded
men in every walk of life and these
men welcome the advent of today's
new styles hestier, huskier styles
that idealize and compliment the
male figure.
Physical appearance, always im
portant, tofjay plays a more vital
part in determining a man's suc
cess than it has heretofore. To
day's styles are the designers' an
swer to that necessity.

Soliloquy by a young lady who had just
a perfectly lovely time: Yes, darlirigiT
mast. I'm sorry I have to leave early but
I really, really must. I had a grand time.
(I suppose she thought we couldn't tell a
"bargain counter" coffee by its taste. She
wouldn't put tin-plated knives and forks
on the table. But she would serve us a
cheap coffee. Oh well.) Yes, I'll see you
soon, darling. I want you and Harris to
have supper with us soon. (When she
comes to my house I'll serve her Hills
Bros. Coffee and give her a real treat. T6o
bad she doesn't realize that even though
you buy coffee by the pound you drink
it by the cup. Hills Br'os. always tastes bet
ter and is really less expensive in the long
run because of more abundant flavor.)
And I had just a perfectly lovely time.
