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.

location at 1M North Commercial,
soon to be vacated on account of
the move to Liberty street.
Mr. Bishop was the sole owner
of the business until M24 when he
sold It to the corporation organ
ised as the Bishop Clothing &
Woolen Mills store, Inc., with him
self as president, and with R. H.
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. These organiza
tions employ over 1500 persons, not
counting those In the Salem
store." .
Although he has always given
close personal attention to his
business Mr. Bishop's time has not
been devoted to that exclusively
He found time to serve Salem as
mayor three terms during the per
iod from about 1M to 105. He
served Marion county as state
senator at the legislative sessions
of 1915 and 1917, and he was a
delegate to the National Republi
can convention at Chicago that
nominated Charles Evans Hughes
for president. He remained In the
east as a member of the notifica
tion committee that officially car
ried the nomination to Mr. Hugh
es in New York City.
In 1907 and 1908 Mr. and Mrs.
Bishop were absent from Salem
for a few months on a trip to Eu
rope where he was a close observ
er of business methods and public
affairs in the countries overseas.
"Always I have been a believer
In the future of Salem," Mr.
Bishop said. "And I have seen It
develop Into one. of the most at
tractive places on the Pacific
coast as a home city. I have at
tempted to show aa Interest In the
building up of the city and com
munity, and have had capital in

the charm of Its peasant touch.
Skiing and Norway are synonym
ous. . 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

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
