TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 24, 1936 THE CAPITAL JOURNAL. SALEM, OREGON The New Bishop's Clothing Department Presents Many Of unique style America's Finest - v OF HATBAND OF HOME ORIGIN feather bands on hats! This Is not a flash from Paris about the latest millinery, but a style note about men's hats from Meadow Brook, Long Island, Jotted down during the recent International polo matches. The colorful Hawaiian lei (pronounced "lay") decorated and distinguished the hats of a few of the men In this well dressed crowd of 20.000. The lei Is an unique sort of band. It is made from hundreds of small pheasant feathers, which are care fully selected for color and shape. Ony the feathers of one side of the bird are used In making some of the bands. Those from the neck go into the tlenst . leis. The usual width Is about 114 Inches, but some are wider. The outside is slightly rounded as a result of, the shaping of the feathers and - the careful hand-workmanship of the native women who make them. The more common colors are blends of browns and golden tones. The more un usual ones are the bluish green ef fects. 8o carefully are the shades of the feathers blended that It re quired SO pheasants to make this particular lei. A native on Manul lsippd spent about two months making it. Its value Is $75. The usual price Is around $50 and some run as high as $100. The let has an Interesting tradi tion. Though It had not been not ed at any Important style center until lately. It has been worn by some Individuals for years. Long ago Hawaiian chieftains wore them as a head dress befitting their rank. Then, it symbolized friendship and kindness. Wearing a lei, the chief tain's most courteous greeting, "ne Ka Alcha, was a high compliment to his visitors. Even today In Har wail it Is worn by men holding Im portant places In commerce and government, not only on felt, but on straw hats as well. These lels would be quite appro priate for country hats.

Cooley, Clarence M. Bishop, Roy T. Bishop and Chauncey Bishop as the other Incorporators and owners, the three Blshous men tioned being his sons. The growth of the community has been reflected In the growth of the Bishop store. In its location at 135 North Commercial it was enlarged three times. "From this store," said Mr. Bishop, "have come the Pendleton Woolen Mills of Pendleton, Ore., the Washougal Woolen Mills of Washougal, Wash., the Oregon Worsted company of Portland, a garment factory In Portland, and the Eureka Woolen Mills of Eu reka, Cal all organized with the help of my sons.

Possibly a little of each can be used to supplement the less re mote, vivid American scheme. History abounds with material about winter sports, skiing as a sport may be comparatively new in this country, but it Is old abroad. As a means of transportation In the northern areas, It dates back sev eral thousand years. Tribesmen of the north practically lived on skis. They fished, hunted, even fought wars, on wooden runners. It was only natural that this necessity should ultimately become a sport. The modem conception of skiing as a sport sprang up early In the last century. It was then that making turns, ski running without poles and jumping began to be studied ser iously. The origin of the term "ski" and its pronunciation have been traced through the ages by students of his tory. Words descriptive of the wooden runner are found to be as numerous as the many tribes In northern Europe and Asia that used them. However, historians agree that "ski" Is derived from the Latin, "sclndere," to split. In Europe 'it was originally pronounced "skee," but later as the Germanic Influence became more potent In the Scandi navian countries, "schl" or "shee" became and still la the generally accepted pronunciation. In this country both are used, with a lean- Ing to "skee." Ski museums in Norway and Swe den are centers of much Interest for natives and visitors alike. In some are exhibited skis that were used centuries ago. The changes of contour, shape and length are readily traced by the array of an tique skis unearthed In the north country. Starting as a very short and wide runner, It gradual'? length ned until many measured 10 to 12 feet. Of late , the shorter sU Is being selected as the best adapted for all around use. So, today we find that the usual length Is from the floor to the palm of the hand, with arm extended vertically. This length with a fairly generous breadth makes turning leas diffi cult.
