MISS MARY LOIS KISSELL, American Museum of Natural History, New York City.
Wonderful as is the development of modern machinery for themanufacture of American textiles--machinery which seems almost humanin the way it converts raw materials into finished cloth; just assurprising are the most primitive looms of the American aborigines,who without the aid of machinery make interesting weavings with only abar upon which to suspend the warp threads while the human handcompletes all the processes of manufacture.
