Owing to the large number of gov

not return until grown up and at that

HOW FAMOUS NAVAJO
BLANKETS ARE MADE

Many years ago, long before the
white man was known in the western
United States, Navajo Indians were
weaving their own blankets, clothing,
etc., from the pulled wool of sheep
which they raised for that purpose.
They carded, spun and wove the
blankets by hand and this is still be-
ing done by the old and feeble squaws
who will never forget how to weave
beautiful blanket until they pass in
to the happy hunting grounds
1t is astonishing to the traveller or
tourist in the Navajo country to ride
in a barren, rocky land and find a
ragged Navajo squaw under the shell
ter of a tree, squatted before loom
made of three sticks, a rope and some
stones, weaving a more beautiful
uul dUlC dHu rug tAdu 10
ed out by the costly looms of Am
erica or Europe. A stick holds the
alternate cords of the wool apart in
opposite direction, and thus enables
her to run the successive threads of
the warp across. It is little wonder
that the rugs will hold water and
stand the tramping of a lifetime, as
each thread across the woof is jabbed
down with force by a worked stick
Navajo rugs are entirely made of
native wool. White, black, brown,
gray and red are the only colors used
in these rugs. All of these colors are
natural except red. The brown is
taken from the belly of certain sheep
and the gray is made by carding an
equal quantity of white and black un
til the correct blend is obtained.
The designs are characteristic and
admirably worked out The weaver
sometimes traces the pattern on sand
