HAVE LOST ART OF WEAVING
Natives Of India Were the Most ss-
pert in the World Until Compar-
ativefy Recent Times.

The city Of Colicut, on the Malaba
coast, which, with Surat, was an an
Cient cottonmaTt, gave its name to, the
variety Of fabric known as calico"
Some qualities Of this were so fine,
it is said, that one could hardly feel
them in the hand, and the thread,
when spun, was scarcely discernible.
Dacca, once a most prominent citS "
ing northeast Of Calcutta. sent out
from it looms in the early centuries
those wonderful tissues Of fine mus
Inns made from a staple too short to
be woven by any machinery.
Even after the advent of the British
in India there is recorded an instance
OF a piece of muslin twenty yards long
and one and quarter yards wide.
weighing only fourteen ounces. With
the rudest implement the Hindu wo-
men spun those almost impalpable
threads, and wove fabrics that for fine
ness Of quality have never been sue
cessfuDy initiated elsewhere. With
the decay of the native Hindu courts
the chief customers-the demand
ceased, and the manufacture was for
the most part stopped. Dacca today
is little more than ruin, but the art
survives to a certain extent
Weaving in India divides itself into
two bTanches-hand-Ioom and power
loom weaving. The proportion OF
handloOm-made cloth to power-loOm-
made cloth is fully two to one.
The native hand loom is a most
primitive affair. 1t is now the same
as it was three centuries ago. The old
fiy-shuttle looms of century ago are
ages in advance of the Indian hand
loom used by the native weaYers
throughout India. Of course there are
a number of fly-shuttle looms in sue
cessful use in certain localities, but
these are not favored by the natives.
The manufacture of cotton In India
dates back to the earliest times. In
the Sanskrit records mention is made
Of it eight thousand years ago.

automobile containing several women
passed through the village in the early
hours.
Mrs. Panhhurst, speaking at Cardiff,
declared that she personally accepted
full responsibility for the explosion at
Lloyd-George's house. She added if
sent in penal servitude she would de-
clare a hunger strike and the govern
ment would either have to let her die
or set her free.
