1t was their universal language, and

gestures. This common language was
expressed mostly with the hands. The
educating of the younger Indians in
the English language and their fire.

hasten the disappearance of this Ian
guage of signs. The old Indians in
western Oklahoma. all of whom still
use the sign language. frequently ind
themselves without signs to designate
modern inventions and devices that
have appeared among them. They ask
white men acquainted with the sign
language for help in the making of
new signs for the new ideas. For
