trate the different types In
the diagram.
The basic stitch is done the
same way for each type but
is varied in design. It's &C
tually a blanket stitch made
at an angle. You bring the
needle up at the top Of the
line to be covered. Hold the
thread down with your thumb
and take a stitch slanting to
the right, a little beneath
this spot, with the needle
pointing to the left. Now pull
the needle through the fabric
and over the working thread.
Carry the thread to the left
side of the line and make the
same stitch, but this time
have the needle pointing to
the right side. Go on doing
this, alternating your stitches
from right to left and keep
ing them spaced evenly. The
illustrations show three vari-
ationS.
Question: I want to put
weights in a suit jacket, but
I've never done it before.
I've read that the weights
are covered before being at
tached to the garment. How
is this done and how are they
attached to the jacket?-Mrs.
M. j.
Answer: Encase the weight
in a square of your lining
fabric. Cut a rectangle a lit
tie wider than the weight and
twice as long as the width.
Or, cut two small squares a
bit larger than the weight all
around. If one piece, fold In
half and sew two side edges
together with a whipping
stitch. forming a pocket. Slide
the weight inside and whip
the opened edge closed.
If two pieces, you'll have
to whip-stitch the four sides
closed. To attach to the jack
ct, place the weights at side
seams and wherever else is
necessary, always on the top
of the hem before sewing
into the lining. Use an over
hand stitch all around the
weight pocket. Be sure to
stitch only to the hem and
not through to the jacket
part.
Question: Where can I pur-
chase the gauge presser foot
you wrote about q few weeks
ago? If I send the money,
can you mail it to me?-Mrs
L. T.
Answer: I've received drove
of mail concerning the gauge

gering instances of injustice are
painful reminders that there are
problems still to be solved. The
American dream and deeply
held conviction that "all men

woven more tightly into the warp

made and continues to be made.
A key role in the process of
ince5r ating the Indian tribes -
many of them jealousy attachedto
an ancient way of life into
modern American society has been
played by the US. Bureau of Indian
Affairs. EStabli shed in 1924, when
the relations between tribes and the
United States were often of mill
tary nature, the Bureau was at
first mainly concerned with nego-
tiationS over land and over terms
of peace treaties. Inl871 Congress
formally abolished the practice of
dealing with lndi an tribes as indep-
endent nations through treaties.

tribes in the West and Southwest -
and a few small groups in the
East - remained in their native
homeland, preserving much of
their ancient way of life in Indi an
owned reservations.
Designed at first as areas where
tribes occupying land the pioneers
wanted could be confined, reser-
vations have long since lost this
restrictive character altogether.
Today they're simply tracts of
land owned by specific group of
lndi ans and set aside for their
exclusive USE Both the land and
the income derived from it are
exempt from taxation, and the sale
or lease of any tract requires
the consent of the Indi an owners
and of the federal government
through the Interior Department S
Bureau of Indi an Affairs. The Bur
eau is responsible for providing all
community services, from roads
to educ alton, for Indians living on
reservations. In most states civil
and criminal jurisdiction within
the reservation belongs jointly to
the federal government and the
tribe, which means that State and
local authorities are completely
excluded This right of home rule,
repe atedly upheld and strengthened
through a series of court decisions,
has been an effective shield against
regional prejudice and diScrimin-
alton, inaSmuCh as local cOmmun-
tiles could exert no authority inside
the reservation s boundaries.
Every Indian is endowed with
all the rights and duties of any
other American citizen Citizen
ship was granted to many tribes
long ago by Acts of Congress or
through treaties; a special law
stating that all lndi ans born in the
United States are citizens was
passed in 1924.
Since then, several court de-
CiSiOnS and legi SlatiVe acts have
removed the last veStiges of offic-
ial discrimination. Whether or not
he lives on a reservation, the Indi an
can vote and run for office - and
where there is a large and we'll
organized group, as in Oklahoma,
the lndi an exercises real politica al
power. He may leave the reser-
vation at will, and needs no ones
permission to travel anywhere he
pleaseS, or to hold any type of
employment. He is subject to the
draft, and like all other Americ ans,
he is eligible to receive social
security, unemployment Compen-
sation, and all federal services.
This does not mean that dis
elimination has disappeared alto
gether. A Though out side the
reservation his status is legally
that of any American citizen, the
Indian in some sections Of the
country still faces unequal treat

Culture und Life Today

series of articles reprinted from

Indians, Their Cultural Heritage,

States, Their Life Today, by
Albert Roland. 1t first appeared in
the America Illustr ated magazine.
The first section of this article

of the Navajo Times.
THE NORTHWEST FISHERMEN
AND THE TOTEM POLE
1t is long step from the desert
country of the Pueblos to the cool,
humid coast of the Northwest. In
between lay the Great Basin, whose
rivers never reach the sea but
flow to lakes or are lost in desert
sands; the Ute, ShoShonie, and
other tribes living there did prac-
tically no farming, hunted all
available game, gathered every
thing edible, and their nonmateriaI
culture was exceedingly simple.
Compared with these conditions,
life on the Pacific coast was one
Of luxury and ease: the sea and
the many rivers provided abundant
and varied food, hunting was fair.
Tobacco was the only plant raj sed,
but there were wild berries, and
in some places the starchy roots Of
the camas.
The relative affluence Of the
Chinook on the Columbia River,
of the Nootka and KWakiutl to the
north, and of the Tlingit up in
Alaska, found expression in living
habits and social customs of
lavishness not common among
other Indian tribes. Cooking, for
example, was greatly refined, with
a variety of recipes and different
methods: broiling, Steaming in pits
or boiling in boxes and Watertig ght
baskets by using hot stones.
Houses, arranged inside somewhat
like the MULTI mily Iroquois
longhouse, were very large,

used, totem poles were in many
ways the equivalent of a heraldic
crest, and thus were quite impor-
tant to the eXtre emely status
conscious Northwest India ans. A
fairly rigid social structure pro-
vided for different rights and
prerogatives for chiefs, mobiles,
and commoners. Hereditary priv
ileges, almost unknown among
American Indians els sewhere,
played significan role in these
tribal societies. Possessions that
could be inherited included not
only material goods but social
rank, the exclusive right to a
fishing area, the right to practice
certain craft, such as whaling, or
to perform certain ritual

choice of an heir, or for any
number of other reasons, the pot
latch consisted of lavish feast
that might last for days with
dances, singing, athletic events,

feature of the potlatch was a ses-
sion of conspicuous gift giving,
designed to establish beyond ques-
tion the hosts wealth and station
in life. At other potlatches, the
host would then receive back from
each gifts of equal or sometimes
greater value.
If the economy of the Northwest
relied on sea and rivers as an
easy and abundant source of food,
