Should it be "skies." "skis" or "sklis"? The Mail Tribune's two-foot. 35 pound dictionary gave every form of the verb excepting the present, sing ular and the suspicion grew that perhaps Mr. Webster didn't know. March's equally ponderous thesuarus didn't even mention skiing (sheing. If you prefer slang ) and the sus picion grew that Mr. Murch was probably Just an old fireside scholar. Authorities at the high school were consulted and they did the best they could but they seemed none tso sure themselves. The city library was call ed but no authoritative reference books could be found with the pres ent, singular form of the verb. UNBEATABLE -if., JtW-y x j7in ror run t mmr 1 .. I t Maple Skis JV S ft.

MNTGMlIfcY WMWD) Harold Larson was called upon and after mature deliberation in his Ski Hut. emerged with a rather ah&ky opinions the word should be spelled "sklis." Now comes Organist Hana Hoerlein with a positive opinion. Mr. Hoerlein ought to know something about the subject, for he helped to organise the first northwest ski tournament on Mt. Hood at Hood River and took part In the first tournament on the south slopes of the same mountain. Every year he. put a new polish on a beaker he won for first place Jump ing in B class at the northwest championship tourney on Mt. Hood in 1929. But enough of that. Here is what Mr. Hoerlein says: "Your inquiry about the sex gen der, singularity, plurality, nationality, or what-have-you. of the word 'ski,' can be straightened out.
