was hundreds of years after that lit

swell up and float, that Abraham, as
youth, with his father left Ur of
the .Chaldees and went west Now
Abraham was lover of stock, and
in this moving it was quite likely
that he would have to walk and
drive the cows which would be a lit
tie hard on a barefoot boy. Now
these boots may have been made
for him, but they never saw the in
side of the ark. What we started to
say was that man drove up in
fine car, who looked as familiar to
us as those old boots. We looked
him up one side, down the other and
through the middle. but couldn't
place him, and finally he had to tell
us who he was. 1t was our old

clay powder-with her feet. "Pure
clay no good" said Sally Owl when
she had finished this. 81 put in
some powdered shell and rock to
keep from cracking or shrinking,
and maybe-a little sand"
When this was done, the next
step was to make that pile Of
moistened clay dough into the
pretty shapes of real Indian bowls
and vases. Indians do this for
hundreds years." said Sally Owl,
moving her quick fingers gently but
firmly over a clay lump and gradu-
ally changing it from a round un-
lovely thing into small graceful
bowl like those the children often
used for their cereal. Other bowls
that Sally made were not entirely
shaped by her fingers. She used
pieces of gourd shells, shallow
woven baskets or scooped out
pieces Of wood to shape them as
she wished. >~

snow / make them pretty. See |"
And before the children's won
dering eyes, she took a piece of
fabric that looked like an old flour
sack, and gently wrapping the fab
ric around bowl, she pressed it
into the soft clay by means Of
The Sauk Centre herald., 1929-12-12

cords wound round and over 1t In
fancy designs. When she cut the
cords after q minute or two, and
again unwrapped the fabric. 10 and
behold there was a very lovely pat
tern clearly imprinted. Sally Owl
laughed as she saw the children's
surprised faces.
"Is It not easy?" she said. "Some
tribes do not make their pottery
pretty that way, but in others. Some
in long ago times used their finger
nails to make the pictures, some
big sharp-pointed tools or spoon
like things or funny things called
discs but IL like to make them
pretty with my cords and cloth.
Tomorrow, when the bowls are dry,
show you how to put the color on.
"Will you come tomorrow"
"Oh, yes" said the children
eagerly.
And when the sun came out next
day the children were again at
Sally Owls.
Sally Owl took a large smooth
pebble, and picking up one of the
bowls she had made, which was
now dry, began rubbing it quickly
and lightly with the pebble. This
she kept up for nearly half an
hour, to polish it.
"Now," she said, 1--WE paint it."
She had a paint brush made Of
horse hair and some paint that was
a mixture of red clay with juices
from berries and herbs added to
give different shades. It was not
long before Sally Owl had made her
bowls very beautiful with soft rich
tones Of reds and oranges and
greens and browns.
The next step was the baking
process. Just as her grandmothers
had done before her, Sally Owl,
suspending her bowls one after the
other in shallow pan by means
of a wooden tripod Of poles tied to-
gether with vines and cords, over a
low but very hot bed Of Goals, began
to bake them slowly. 'This our
way" said she with that same
merry twinkle In her eye, "other
tribes do other ways. Some dig

A Very Old Art

The big touring car in which the
children and Uncle Fred were rid
ing came to stop and they made
their way on foot to the Indian
camp where they would meet Sally
Owl, who made pottery for the res
ervation. Sally Owl could speak
very good English, Uncle Fred had
said, so the children could under
stand all the interesting things she
had to tell them.
Sally owl was delighted to meet
the American children and she
smiled her brightest Indian smile
as she bowed to them. II tell you
how pottery made" said Sally Owl.
"Very easy"
First she took some large Jumps
Of hard clay and with rude stone
instrument she hammered and
pounded until the Jumps Of clay had
quite disappeared and in their stead
was big pile Of soft powder.
"Now I put in water" said Sally
Owl, kneading the water into the
