Designed and Tailored After
NezU Standards

BUT THE FACT IS-these suits are
priced not a whit higher. No premium
is demanded for the exquisitely correct
proportions; for the superb needlework
which comprehends so perfectly the
scheme of the design.
The snug, close-clinging collars, the small
arm scyes, the perfect-hanging and
delicately %attenuated sleeves, the lines
which reflect to a nicely the character
and lineament of the figure-all these
things are the product Of pride without
relation to profit.

WYE BELIEVE that great master tail

slightest difficulty in commanding a
price far higher than the prices exacted
for ordinary tailored women's wear.
We believe that such extra prices would
be perfectly fair, for such garments are
instantly recognizable; instantly place
themselves in a higher class. Why not,
then, reward the genius which produces
them?

Engineer Gives
First Clue to
Bluffs Robbery
Actions lof Merle Phillips
Arouse Suspicious Of Alonzo
Quinby, Who Aids Pos
tai Inspectors.

Alonzo Quinby, Burlington J en-
gineer for 81 years and pilot of the
mail train which was robbed i'll
Council Bluffs on November IS, was
responsible for. the speed with which
the postal inspectors solved the
mystery and apprehended the rob-
bers,' it became known yesterday.
Quinby's suspicious were aroused
by Merle Phillips, first member OF
the gang to be arrested, when he
swung into the cab of the engine at
the Union Pacific transfer on the
night of the bold robbery and kept
up a rapid-fire conversation to hold
the attention of the engineer.
Merel left the engine at the North
western crossing, where the Burling-
ton mail train stopped for moment
and where the ten mail sacks con-
tanning the registries were thrown
from the car. When the train
reached the city passenger station on
Main street, the robbery was dis
covered.
The engineer pondered over the
affair until he reached Creston, Ia:
Then he met A. L. Bourk, special
agent, and told him of Merle's sus-
picious actions. AS aIesult, the
first person arrested in the mail rob-
berry investigation was Merle Phil
lips, and through him the postal in
spectors obtained a key to the whole
situation.
Merle's twin brother, Earl, was
arrested at about the same time, but
he was released after an examination
of several hours. After Merle had
been grilled for two days, he i'm
plicated Fred Poffenbarger, jr., who
proved to be in command OF more
retails regarding the robbery than
any of the others who later were inn
plicated.
Orville Phillips surrendered him
self to authorities, Hugh Reed and
T. A. Daily were arrested upon po-
lice information. and Mrs. DAILY.
Fred Poffenbarger, sr., and Clyde
Poffenbarger were taken into cus-
tody in rapid succession. AS a re-
suit the entire case was cleared up
within week from the time Of the
robbery, with the exception OF Keith
Collins, alleged driver Of the AUTO
