'Game protection is one of the na

began. "In spile of all that has been
attempted in the laws of the last few
years, bur 'game has been steadily di-

'Minneapolis, Philadelphia. New York,;

as a naturalist, and for bis work in
preserving wild Wrd and animal life,
Pictures Are Feature.
,4' The:.remarkable moving pictures of
.:: bird, animal and fish life in Oregon,
, which are shown in conjunction with
Mr. I'iniey's lectures, are proving a
Very important feature in attracting
. sportsmen and others to visit Oregon.
, Kach year a larger number of people
- go to the mountains to hunt and fish,
and Oregon is becoming famous as a
recreation ground for those who love
outdoor .life.
f- Mr. Finley has recently been asked
T to take up field and lecture work for
one of the largest educational institu
tions in New York City. The offer
carries' a salary of $4000 a year, with
field expenses. The idea is to make a
. study of wild life preservation in cer
tain of the eastern states and carry on
a campaign of education.
Mr. Flnley's work has beeji one of
importance in the state of Oregon, He
..has for many years encouraged the
- study of bird life in bis lectures and
writings, tils books and magazine ar
ticles have been widely read. In 1911,
after the legislature established the
Fish and Game Commission, Mr. Fin
: ley" was appointed by Governor West
-: as the first member of this commis
sion. The appointment was made sole
ly on merit, as it was generally consid
ered that Mr. Finley was the best qual
ified man in the state for this work.
. State Work Aided.
- After the commission was organized,
- Mr. Finley was asked to take up the
executive work as state game warden.
; and for. four years be held this posi
tion, resigning about a year ago to ac-i-
cept a new position ubder the Fish and
: Game Commission as state biologist.
3 Since that tim his work has been en-
' tirely from , an educational and scien
tiflc standpoint.
Mr. Finley was one of the first men
In the United States who began th
: educational, campaign ' of interesting
- : people in oar wild game resources from
. a business standpoint. He has atead
' ily preached .the doctrine that game
., cannot be made abundant by passing
more game laws and hiring more po
licemen. s Predatory, animals, such s
bouse cats, kill more game birds than
hunters jdo.

Spring Blouses
Blouses this season are objects of sheer
beauty! 'Elegant simplicity is the keynote
-simple as to line and style with embel-'
lishment of artistic handwork or a bit. of.
fine lace.
Will o' the Wisp, the new material, is as
fascinating as its name. One particularly
fetching blouse of this is in flesh tint, with
rings of blue beads and a touctr- of, nattier
blue velvet.
A Nile green chiffon has the most fascinat
ing stitchery of tiny white leaves to add to
its delicate beauty. Touches of hand em
broidery enrich the deep, revere-like frills of a
blossom-colored Georgette, while rows of
double hemstitching add to its transparency.
Bindings of pale green lend freshness to
the soft flesh tone of a flesh-colored crepe,
while brilliant scarlet touches give a tone of
daring to the- pure whiteness of another
Georgette.
It has been many a long day since blouses
so utterly enchanting, so daintily simple, ytt
smart, have been shown in the numbers' now
to? be found in our waist shop.

Spring Suits Spring Coats Spring Dresses
Suits as .delightfully different as the
women who will ? wear tnem as crisp .as
the .air of -an i early Spring day are gath
ered -here from the hands of the wdrld's
best designers. - They show as many "pe
riods" as history has made, and show
theunfluence of many countries in their
making. Spanish boleros are fetching in
three-piece models, with sheer sleeves
and touches of braid or embroidery. A
French suit of blue silk on quaint lines has
a touch of unexpected contrast in its Jap
anesese crepe lining. Saucy little Etons,
old-fashioned basques, close-shouldered
jackets flaring at the hip line, strive for
supremacy, and each has a coterie of loyal
followers. Taffetas, crisp and plain, with
skirts full and flaring, abound in infinite
variety. Some are of solid tone, while
others have; woven stripe to break the
monotony and lend a bit of color to their
days. Suits for matron or maid were
never so decidedly, "different," so intense
ly interesting and so truly beautiful as
. those now being shown in our Apparel
Shops ! Fourth Floor, Fifth Street
Ruffles, ruffles, everywhere at
throat, at wrist, at hem and little
frilly capes between that is what
you will see in the newest and most
approved wraps for springl A twi
light blue taffeta fits snugly at the
shoulders but wanders far from the
hips, where it ends in a ruffle. Deep
frills, which cannot decide to go up or
down, fall over the wrists. Black
velvet about six inches wide around the
bottom of another coat gives a note
of strong contrast to ib. brilliant rose
hue. ' A little yoke fits close to the
shoulders in front and the coat proper
falls full from this and from under a
cape collar at back. Delightfully
soft satins in pastel tone are of gener
ous cape-like fullness, softly bound
round with marabou ideal wraps for
evening wear. Coats without number
await your inspection.
.a We Are Beady With a Complete Showing of
Lovely Spring Laces
Purchased Early Last Fall From the
Leading Importing House! of the East
Laces were never lovelier, never more fashionablel One of the paradoxes
of whimsical fashion just when laces are scarce. Cut not with usl We
purchased early, and plentifully, and our reward is FULL ASSORTMENTS i
Just a word about some of them. V - 1
Chantilly laces are wonderfully beautiful,' true-to-life copies of the real.
"Spanish Lintra" closely resembles the old Spanish laces and comes in
Shantung and pongee shades. Filet laces, hand-made and exact imitations,
and lovely applique Vals. from Calais, one exclusive set conslsting'bf 45-inch
flouncing, i 0-inch galloons and narrow edging, is unusually attractive.
Lace flouncing, combining dainty pastel shades, metal effects and other
novelties, is here in abundance and perfectly charming. One novel design
is a filet mesh with dull rose and green combined in the pattern. 25 inches
wide. Lovely metal cloths silver, gold, green, blue, and rose decidedly
lovely when used under the filmy laces. '

Douiellet, Paquin, Worth, Jenny and
all the other names that conjure up vis
ions of Paris salons, wonderful gowns
and beautiful women have combined to
make this the most notable gathering of
wonderful frocks.! Line, color, material
the three essentials in the making of
truly beautiful frocks have been care
fully considered. An afternoon ! rock of
Chinese blue taffeta with fullness over
hips held out by reeds, flat in front and
back, has touches of cartridge shirring
and metal Stitchery to make it irresist
ible. A bldssom colored taffeta with clus
ters of black and white stripes has deli
cate peach-colored Georgette sleeves and
bodice. Wonderful evening frocks are so
sheer and filmy that only the jet or metallic
lace trimming seems to hold them to earth.
Of these distinctive models there is only
one of a kind I We have never shown
frocks more radiantly lovely, "more beau
tifully becoming, more widely varied than
now in the great Spring Style Exhibit.
For "Flappers"
In England they call them "flappers"
here we refer to the "awkward age," but
we believe actual justice demands that we
assume our responsibilities and acknowledge
them of the "neglected" age.
Neglected no longer, however, for young
. American girls have apparel especially de
signed for them and we have paid as much
, attention to procuring it for them as for
their mothers and older sisters.
-We have chosen garments that are truly
- youthful in cut and style, with a tendency
to bring out the sweet, pliant suppleness of
youth, to lessen its "gaucherie" and add the
smartness demanded. Pretty liltle Norfolks
of navy serge and gabardine or black and
white checks are delightfully becoming,
while .cape effects are especially "young"
In line, and the new touches of stitching and
novel belts are picturesque. Smocks are de
lightfully artisjic especially the new ones
of cotton gabardine, in brilliant orange or
rose in three-quarter length. These in sizes
16 and 18. Truly, the day of the "flapper"
is here, and her apparel abounds on our
Second Floor.
