Navajo Weaving Art
BY FREDERIC }. HAsKIN

are used and dropped in fashion that
can not be copied by weaving ma
chimes.
Such machine-made limitations as
are on the market fall so far short of
the handmade articles that they do not
achieve ready sale. limitations are
easily detected. In a genuine Navajo
blanket the design is exactly the same
on both sides. A pin stuck through
will come out on the other side at ex-
actly the same color and place in the
design
Though limitations are not numerous
the government has taken precautions
against the sale of such articles for
genuine Navajo blankets. Every prod
uct of the Indian weaver's loom is
! inspected and tagged before the trader
can handle it. The tag is protection
TO both the weaver and the buyer.
Since weaving is the best thing that
the Navahos do, the government en-.
courages them to make a living by
! their art. In the schools Indians who
are skilled weavers are employed by
| the government to interest the chill
dren in blanket making and to teach
them the processes.
! The Weayerst seem to lose none OF
their skill with the passing of genera
tions. and while old blankets are
sought by collectors the new ones, if
well made, always find buyers. Like
/ a fine violin, a good Navajo blanket
/ increases in value with age Colors
soften but do not fade, and the tightly
woven fabric wears like iron. Old
woven strips that were roughly used
as saddle blankets by the Indians have
been found by collectors. and under
the CRIME the colors were still clear
| ConnOisseurs scour the southwest
country. even as far as Mexico, for old
| products of the Navajo looms. Once
/ fine specimens could be bought from
/ Indians of various tribes all over New
| Mexico and Arizona But gradually
! travellers have bought up the best oil
these so that an old blanket is consid
cred rare find
Museums all over the country have
blankets that were bought for few
dollars and that would now bring sew
eral hundred As much as 81, 900 is
paid for an unusual piece of work
A valuable private collection is own
ed by Mrs. John A. Logan. Genera
Logan collected blankets when fine
i specimens were easily available FOL
the white man who could distinguish
them, and his collection represents {
long and active interest in Navajo
weaving
The general became fascinated BY
the art of the Navahos shortly aftel
the Civil war Later, as a senator, he
was member of the Indian Affair;
committee, and made a number O
trips to the west to see that the Indi
ans were treated fairly by thei1
agents. On these trips he continued
his practice of buying blankets to en-
courage the production of this beauti
full craft work. Old Chief Joseph anC
other chiefs helped him to add to his
collection, and Navajo Charlie, one o
the best blanket makers of his tribe
and one of the comparatively few male
weavers, sold the general some of hi:
work
! The Indians have never profited b!
this principle of the increased value
of old blankets. Twenty dollars il
the hand means more to them than /;
possible hundred dollars a few years
hence. So long as the white man pay!
cash they are satisfied.

Foreigners in Japan
 Hit by Mail Rates
(By The United Press,

Tokyo, Jan. 6. (By MaiD For eigners in Japan are holding grouch- fests over the stiff boost in out going mail rates which recently became effective.
 Postage was doubled on all for eign mail leaving Japan after Jan uary 1
 Exporters and importers have fil- ed formal protests and some of the trade journals have complained that Japan's already languishing foreign trade will get another jolt because of these new rates.
 They contend that the sending of trade catalogues, samples of ma terials and trade stimulation litera- ture and letters will be discouraged because of the steep postage lover head"
 The minimum regular-letter post age to the United States or other foreign countries is now twenty sen, or ten cents. This is twice the rate from the United States to Japan.
 The postal authorities point to the authorization or agreement of the Madrid international postal con vention last year for the postage increase. They express the utmost regret for any unfavorable trade re- action that may result-but vigor- ously deny that such an outcome is probable

MUSCLE SHOALS
 NOW IN KNOT
 OF RED TAPE
Delay of From Six to Twelve Months in Delivery of Plant to Ford Seems Un- avoidable.

Washington, Feb. 11.-Delays es- timated from six months to year or more probably will be encounter ed by government officials before they are in a position to turn over the nitrate plant, power stations and dams at Muscle Shoals, Ala, to Henry Ford, should his proposal for their purchase and lease for 100 years be accepted. It was estimated by members of the house military committee, attending hearings on the Ford offer yesterday.
 It was the opinion of some com mittee members after hearing the testimony of Col. John Hull, acting judge advocate general of the army, that the government would be com pelled to institute condemnation proceedings before it could obtain titles to the lands for Mir. Ford
 Options Not Valid.
 Colonel Hull said it was his opin- ion that the contractual obligations were non-enforcable" and null and void,'' and could not be sue cessfully presented by the Alabama Power Company representatives or officials of the Air Nitrate Corpora tion, both of which claim optional privileges and have informed Sec retary Weeks that they intend to exercise them before the Muscle Shoals properties are disposed of to private concerns.
 As the chief law officer of he army, the colonel said later that the first thing to do in the event congress votes authority to Secre- tary Weeks to enter into the con tract with Mir. Ford, lis to proceed to condemn

ALASKA FACING, ANOTHER RUSH,
 OIL AND COAL
Geologists Say That Subter- ranean Treasure Abounds Without Limit in Frozen Region.
By WARREN w. WHEATON, international News Service Strif
 Correspondent.


 Washington, Feb. 11.-Aloof Alaska faces another rush for wealth as picturesque as the famous dash for gold it was declared to- day by Interior Department off cials.
 The barren wastes of the Far North country hold unlimited quan- titles of oil and coal that will add untold millions to the country's nat ural resources, it was officially an- nounced, and the federal govern ment proposes to take early steps to develop the Alaskan area.
 Immediate action to secure joint and reduced freight rates from the coast to the interior was taken un- Ter consideration by Secretary of the Interior Fall today, following
 he exposition of the find to Presi- dent Harding and cabinet officials.
 Goaded to action by reports from Governor Scott c. Bone of Alaska and prospector named Smith, both of whom are now in Washington, the administration, it was learned today, has promised to take the nee essary steps to open up the Alas kan country.
 Announcement was made that Dr. Alfred Brooks, gcologist connected with the Interior Department, who has made thorough study of the far northern possession of the Unit ed States, will soon leave Washing ton for Alaska to complete his sur yey of resources of the country.
 We place all possible reliance on the statement that unlimited oil and coal deposits are as yet un- touched in the interior of Alaska, :" declared department officials today. "A prospector named Smith, who is now in Washington and who has travelled twenty-one thousand miles by dog team under the Arctic skies in places that are yet unmapped tells us of vast quantities of oil and N"HhNl NO"l FO pt ibuHu III tue Dti- ren wastes about six hundred or seven hundred miles north of Fair banks and in the interior oG theI country.
 We feel that everything possible to extend transportation routes ir l Alaska to open up this territory | should be undertaken, and the In- | -erior Department believes that the northern terminus of the Alaskan | railroad, now at Fairbanks, should De further extended.
 We are not inclined to feel thatl his find is a pipe-dream. II is still n the exploitation state, and it may { ake some years to develop it, but he department is confident it is here"
 Governor Bone is here to press avorable consideration by Congress f legislation designed to liberalize avs for Alaska and make more olid it's now characterized chaotic ystem' of government, which the overnor declares has "repelled pop lation,"
