for the great size and number Of capeS each
one of which took thousands upon thousands
Of feathers. When guns came to the islands,
however, with the coming Of the traders the
old ways began to give way to the new and q
pitiable slaughter of the birds began. Many
species now are practically extinct as a result,
and at least two species are absolutely extinct.
After removing the feathers, the bird hunt
ers tied them in small punches and delivered
them to the people in the villages who made
the strong and unbelievable fine network on
which the feathers were mounted. flexible,
strong, fiber obtained from the olona shrub,
which still grows in the many deep raviries Of
the island, was worked by hand into thread
for this purpose.
So firmly were the feathers secured to the
fbers that even after hundreds of years the
feathers will break, rather than pull from
their foundation. In the best cloaks the
feathers were fastened to the net in rows, ex-
tending from side to side, and laid on like
shingles, one covering the base Of the other
The Hawaiians' chiefs and warriors were
magnifcently formed human beings, many of
them feet tall Spears and other equipment
Of war, and even the accoutrements of peace,
prove that they were of tremendous height
and magnificent strength.
The fiber of the cloaks had a tendency to
make them heavy though the feathers were,
Of course, very light. AS a result some Of the
capes weigh as much as 10 pounds. The aver
age weight is about 6.
One of the largest of the capeS Is known as
the Joy cape, now at the Bishop Museum in
Honolulu. 1t is 66 inches long in back and 1866
inches along the lower edge. With these
larger affairs was worn sometimes smaller
shoulder cape.
Feather helmets Of great beauty were worn
with these exotic garments and fashioned in
the same manner as the cape-with feathers
mounted on a fiber melted base. They followed
in general outline the shape of the Roman
helmet Of the time of the Caesars.
IF one chief killed another in battle, it was
the privilege of the conqueror to take the
cape Of the fallen one. In this way the great
Kamehameha came into possession of the cape
Of Prince Kiwalao Of Western Hawaii In the
battle marking the first really significant VIC
tory Of the great chief who was to unite all of
the Islands and their sundry petty chiefs under
one consolidated government.
The capes first began to leave the islands
about 1850 when explorers and traders and sea
captains, who had won the favor Of the king
or chiefs, were given these priceless treasures
as marks Of special favor. In this way they
were scattered all over the world. for Hawaiis

The iiwi is still to be found on the islands,
though it is also rare. 1t is scarlet except for
its black wings and tail. This bird furnished
more feathers than any Of the others because
of the abundance of colored feathers it boosted
as compared with its black ones.

There were many birds with green plumage
on the islands, but only few capeS are pre-

the satiny white feathers of koae. Even domestic
fowls contributed their comparatively common

THE NONSTOP AIR FLIGHT.

The arrival of an airplane in Juneau yesterday following nonstop flight of considerably less than eight hours from Seattle demonstrated the feasibility of air transportation between the Capital City of Alaska and the Queen City of Puget Sound. It was made very plain that airplanes can easily give us a dawn to dusk service with stops at Ketchikan and perhaps other towns enroute There may be occasions of course when flying conditions would not be satisfactory those that obtained yesterday when airplane would have to lay over some place for another day, but that everywhere. It occurs with all sorts and conditions of transpor- tation vehicles water and land well with airplanes.
 The performance of Messrs. Eckmann, Ellis and Haloran and their plane yesterday was the first time for an airplane to make trip between Seattle and this place in single day-and they had most of the day for spare time The time is not far off when the exception will be day when similar trip is not made by more planes.

Wisconsin gave MT. Hoover a majority of more than 9O000 in the late Presidential election. How ever, the other day when she voted the question of repeating her State Prohibition enforcement law the majority for repeal more than 125,000. This large anti-Prohbition majority rolled up in spite of a vigorous campaign waged by the well financed Anti-Saloon League and other drys. The vote arge-larger than before cast in that State on the Prohibition issue
 This is additional proof that it is absurd to contend that the Hoover victory test of popular sentiment Prohibition. It proves again, if further proof were necessary that the Republican Party is not a Prohibition Party.

OUR NATIONAL APPETITE FOR VEGETABLES IS INCREASING.

Americans like vegetabes-and they appear to like them better each year" says B. c. Boree mar keting specialist in the United States Department of Agriculture.
 "The annual gain of at least 1,5O000o in popula- tion does not explain all the increases in acreage and production of truck crops. Our appetite for vegetables seems to be growing, both because of couragement from health authorities and because it is now possible to have a wide variety of fresh vegetables the year round.'
 great volume of truck is hauled to the city from near by farms, says MT. Boree, who also emphasizes developments in car-lot movements of vegetables in the last dozen years. In 1918 the United States Department of Agriculture collected
