in hand-loom weaving. Through the efforts of Mrs. Rose Davis, teacher in the Douglas Indian School, loom was obtained from the Bureau of Indian Affairs. The loom was set up in the school room. Several women assisted in threading it, and the weaving was started. A small table loom was also made available and set up for small-piece tapestry weaving.
 Several rugs were completed with borders in designs derived from Indian basket designs. AL though the Indian women had no previous experience with looms, their workmanship was excellent. The finished rugs compare favor ably with the rugs made by experienced weavers.
 Created Considerable Interest
 Some samples of the work were displayed at 8 meeting in Juneau of the Martha Society and they created considerable interest. The rugs are reasonably priced, and a few orders have already been re- ceived. These orders will be filled as soon as matrials can be ob- tained. Orders may be placed with Mrs. Davis of Douglas.
