Funds contained In the J100.000 emer
gency appropriation voted by the 1919
session of the state legislature may be
used for the support of dependents of
Oregon ex-service men who may be in
apttcitated for work and under the juris
diction of public authorities. This is

frj from F. W. Mulkey of Portland,
v. ...tinan of the Oregon soldiers' and
sailors' commission. . The use of the
fund in the interest of Oregon ex-service
men and their dependents is left en
tirely to tiit discretion of the commis
sion, Brown holds. -
Dealers felling automobiles to per
sons engaged in the, bootlegging busi
ness must do so at their own risk. They
cannot insure the car against loss
through confiscation by federal agents.

by X H. VanWinkle, assistant attorney
general, in reply to a query from A. C.
Barber, state insurance commissioner,
as to whether a "confiscation clause"
could be attached to insurance policies
covering loss on automobiles in this
state.
- Such a clause Is against public policy,
according m to Van Winkle, who holds
that it would only tend to lessen the
diligence of persons Belling automobiles
on conditional sales and assist persons
Intending to engage In a violation of
the United States prohibition law in
making the purchase of an automobile
for use in their traffic. t 'j , . . j ,

A REAL Clothing Sale! Hundreds
l of men this week have found it so,
much to j their profit, and consequent
pleasure. " i , I ;
; I first advertised this sale in last Sunday's
papers, May 16, but it was my pleasure to
make it date from May 1. I don't like half
months or halfway measures!
So, if you bought a suit for cash at my
store on any day between May 1 andMay
15, bring me the sales slip and I will pay
you the difference in cash. If your account
was charged with a suit between May 1
and May 15, the difference will be credited
to you. ;
This sale is all-inclusive; it involves every
man's, young man's and boy's suit in my
store,- without any reservation whatever.
It embraces many of the finest makes of
clothing hi. America, such as these:
"Hickey-Freemen clothes for men;
L System clothes for young men;
Skolhy clothes for young men and boys;
Wearpledge Insured clothes for boys. i
You know the worth of these clothes;
you know, too, that they are sold through
out the entire United States, and that they
have an established price which .differs bu,t
little, whether sold oft the Pacific coast, the
Atlantic coast, in the north, or the south.
Now, I am selling these clothes at an
actual, visible reduction of twenty per cent
(and more -in many cases) from their reg
ular established prices. Surely,; this is prof
it-taking time for the men of Portland!
I would have you remember this, too: I have
not been unmindful of the constantly rising costs
. of good clothing and! I have purposely priced
v all my clothing this season at a smaller margin!
of profit fhan js customary and usual every
where. I .have felt that the retail merchant,!
who stands next in line to the consumer, should
make every possible concession. So, then, the
savings in this sale loom all the greater by
reason of the reductions having been made from
close-margin prices.
I urge my friends to buy. clothes ; now sure
ly not through any wish for pecuniary profit to
myself, but, rather, since I have made the op
portunity, I earnestly seek the satisfaction that
shall be mine when I know that this sale has
been a real beenfit -an accomplishment which
I can look " back upon with" pleasure and sat
isfaction. .
I hope to greet many here tomorrow
and I know that I shall.
