The Finest Hand-Workmanship Ever Put Into Ready-for-Service Clothes for Men There is hand - workmanship and hand workmanship, just as there are sign-painters and scene painters. The mere physical opera tion of doing a thing by hand means nothing how it is done means everything. We have ripped Hickey-Freeman clothes and other hand-tailored clothes apart for com parison -and there is none! In our judgment there are no men's clothes in America today, in which the art of fine hand-tailoring reaches such a high pitch of excellence as it does in HICKEY-FREEMAN CLOTHES. .

Second Attempt to Rob California Bank Is Foiled by Alarm Los Angeles, April 7. (U. P.) The second . attempt within six months to rob the First National bank of Hynes, near here, was frustrated early today after burglars had cut through a steel door with an acetylene torch. The heat from the torch set off a burglar alarm which aroused the entire imputation of the small town. The burglars made a hurried getaway In an automotfile be fore police could reach the bank. Four men are now serving terms in San Quentln for the first attempted rob bery, which occurred last October, REDUCTION OF PLANE PATROLSPROTESTED (Continued From Pe One.) as well, requesting them to make a spe cial effort to have the report of Colonel Arnold accepted. The chamber is also sending a telegram to Senator McNary, calling his attention to the importance of the patrol. The Oregon Aero club sent a telegram to Senator McNary, stating that thtre are in Oregon a sufficient number of fliers who have seen air service In France to completely man every plane provided for Oregon in the report of Colonel Arnold. Washington and Cali fornia can say as much for themselves. SERVICE 18 DEEDED The Oregon Forest Fire association is sending telegrams to every congressman in the Northwest to stir them up to ac tion, said Secretary C. S. Chapman. The messages point to the emergency of the situation and the fact that the service is needed over the entire Northwest. Fur thermore, many cities, such as La Grande anil Coeur d'Alene, Idaho, have gone to great expense to get landing fields, anticipating that the patrol would be established. ONE SOT SUFFICIENT That the one sauadron patrol would leave Oregon practically without any i cued by firemen with ropes and scaling protection was the opinion of District ; ladders. Forester Cecil, who said it would mean j Frederick 11. Hamilton and his dugh that California would get about all of ter, Cray of Berkley, leaped, from the them. E. T. Allen, secretary of the West ern Forestery and Conservation asso ciation, who was in close touch with the fight for the patrol in Washington white he was stationed there during the win ter, said the whole question has noth ing whatever to do with the needs of the Northwest, but whether the air serv- i ice shall be retained as a part of the war department or a separate depart ment created for It. Until the status of the air service is finally fixed, thinks Allen, the North west cannot depend on any air patrol. Although some planes will undoubtedly be r.rovided. The war department, based Qn old traditions, is jealous of its rights ftnd js not aitogether favorable to the utilization of its officers and euuipment for cvilian uses, thinks Allen. "For two or three years," said Allen, "we shall not know whether we will have a patrol or not. There will be decisions and reversal of decisions. Nothing stays fixed in Washington. "If we have only the one squadron," said Allen, "I do not believe it will be limited to California. Not only will Oregon have part of It, but I believe it will be spread over the entire area covered in the original program. Other states will not stand by and see Cali fornia get all the planes. But we should know whether we are to have the patrol br not. There are so many things to prepare the purchasing and training of pigeons, the establishment of landing fields, rounding up of all the Important details incident' to the carrying out of ; hf. proKrarrli whatever it may be.
