Navajo Indians Wear Rugs
To Keep Death Away.

PAGosA SPRINGS, Col, Aug.
1s.-The reason why a Navajo
rug has imperfections, which has
long been a subject of discussion
smong owners of rugs, was di-
vulged by a Navajo Indian on
the reservation.
There is a tradition among thu
Indians that a perfectly woven
rug signifies that death is
knocking at the door of the
weaver, therefore the weaver
adds one or more, imperfections
to keep death away. An old
squaw who is tired of life will
weave a perfect rug.
The most common imperfection
is to have the two ends vary one
or two inches, or to alter the de-
sign in sections and when, upon
rare occasions a human head is
woven in the rug. to leave off
the nose. Practically the only
perfect rugs are those woven by
the old squaws, IL being rarely
done by the younger women.
and then only when through
some cause she doesn't care if
she lives or dies.
