-confessed that he Is the man who
jtrled to extort money from Olympia

I City detectives and postal authorities
- Jtrled in vain to trap Johnstone and make
.'him admit that" he d laved the little rams
"ot hide. and seek with the Portland po
nies force. In spite of all circumstantial
evidence, Johnstone said he merely got
the idea from the newspaper accounts
:r "Shadow" and thought he would try
;the same trick in Olympia.
i Only once during the many hours of
end leas questioning did Johnstone come
f anywhere near admitting that he might
?hare had something to do with the
affair In Portland.
I? Once, in. a question put ' to the prls
oner, a city detective apparently implied
. that Johnstone s sweetheart, might be
: come involved fn his tangled affairs.
Then Johnstone said he wanted it Qnder
' stood eh didn't have any thins to do
f with it at alL. He seemed greatly moved
(when the police tried to question him
- S along that line, but quickly recovered
"his poise and usual good humor.
f Johnstone is tall, slender, almost the
: opposite of the meager description given
-' !by the two deptity sheriffs who encoun
tered "Shadow" on the railroad track
not far from the scene of the Base Una
road fiasco."'. . . . .

AMERICANS WARN
OF MEXICAN TRAP
Portland Chamber Told Embargo
on U. S. Goods. Makes Trade
Below Border Precarious.
The- Portland Chamber of Com
merce " is In receipt of a letter of
warning from the American Asso
ciation of Mexico, which gruards
Portland emissaries to the Interna
tional Congress of Merchants held
In Mexico City from' forming j any
one-sided, opinion: upon the question
of reopening intimate trade relations
with Mexico.; f ,
Contained in the letter are extracts
from the Mexican constitution which
was adopted in 1917 during the Car
ranxa regime, in which the former rights
of Americans In Mexico were ' revoked
and - a . practical embargo placed upon
American industrial activities In that
country.
."The origin and purpose of the Amer
ican trade excursions to Mexico during
the past two years have been political,
not commercial," claims the American
association of Mexico. The specific
purpose now is to create sentiment in
the United . States favorable to the Im
mediate unconditional recognition of the
present Mexican government by 1 the
American government, and thus per
petuate the present status of the Amer
ican citlien under this constitution."
i The association warns : the . Portland
delegates to the Merchants congress to
form tan unbiased opinion of conditions
as they are - in . Mexico, independent of
the rosy prospects shown by the Mexi
cans in their personally conducted tour,
and nrees them to Insist upon a reetora
tlon tr 'th American rtsrhta as thev ex
isted prior to the adoption of the Car-
ranza constitution.
"The right. of the American citizen to
participate as a self respecting factor tn
the development of Mexico's resources
is the best foundation on which perma
nent trade relations with that country
can be built., The right formerly en
joyed must be restored ; justice must be
accorded the American citizen who in
the past went to that country and in- I
vested his money on the basis of the
laws then existing, says the letter. '

Greatest Factor
in
Success
By Robert Greeley
The greatest quality any man can have is
that of making people like him; to cause
people to say after he has gone, "He looks
good to me." Arthur Lansing represented
a wholesale firm, selling goods to retailers
in small towns, sleeping in third-class
hotels and putting up with the hardships,
that go with such a life. His associates
assumed that he would never rise above
the job.
Then, one day, the unexpected . happened.
Arthur Lansing became popular; people went
out of their way to xJo things for him. From
that day he began to go up in business. Now
he is salesmaoager for his firm.
Everyone can be classed la two reneral types those
who bare an. attractive personal appearance and those
'who have sot. If one's appearance is careless it cm-
favorably affects aH one's rood qualities. .That was
Arthur's situation. He had many food qualities,
but - . . .
One day Arthur overheard a friend talking about how
easily .be kept himself looking hts best all the time
how much easier and better it Is to have tailored
clothes how easy it is to pay for it in small amounts
how wise it is to always keep some cash in reserve
how Joy, the Tailor, makes all this possible throuh
his system of extendinr credit at cash prices how
Joy has doubled his business In 2 years simply be
cause every new customer not only stays with him.
but brines tn or sends in his friends.
Arthur made a few Inquiries and the next day went
t see Mr. Joy. In a week Arthur looked and acted
like a different man. His changed appearance save
him more confidence and the chanced attitude of (he
acquaintances cave him assurance.. This, nat
urally, stimulated his pride, and - his whole ap
pearance was favorably, affected. As a result,
Arthur developed the power and influence
which was rightfully hts and which anyone can have
who takes advantage of the opportunity that Joy, the
Tailor, offers to all men to always look their best
on one's own terms within reason; without costing
.any more or noticeably affecting: one's financial re
sources. .
Joy, the Taflor. Is one of Portland's old established
and most favorably known tailors. He is located at
104 Stark street; and has four branch stores.
