Basket making in some form is an almost universal art of primitive’ peoples and among the early inhabi-: tants .of the Western hemisphere it is difficult to find a tribe wholly ig- norant of the art. Perhaps the most: famous artists in this work were the Pumo Indians of California, among whom the coiled system of manufac- ture gained its highest development,, ‘and by whom some of the finest bas- | kets in the world were made. Coiled | basketry, copied>. from this | tribe, spread throughout the western high- lands of North America, fromthe Mexican border to Alaska. It'isalso found in eastern Siberia, in north- ern.Labrador and in Patagonia. The coiled baskets were water-tight and could be used for cooking by drop- ping ‘hot stones into their contents. Woven basketry, the other principal form, is found over the greater part of both continents. ‘House Holds 6,000 Lodgers.

It has been said informally that a recommendation will be made -to name women among the ‘agents necessary to enforcement of this new legislation. This recom- mendation will be placed before Frank Burke, chief of the bureau of investi- gations of the department of justice. The department of justice has employed women agents previously. A number of them did spy work in this country during the war. They were stationed in many of the larger citles of the country—New York, Boston, Chicago, Baltimore and others. “I think women would be most valuable as agents in the enforcement of this profiteer act, not only for clothing one of the officials of the department of justice. purchasers of these commodities for detectlves of profiteers.” overcharges, but for food as well,” said “Women have been the years and they ought to make good Housewives who have long cherished the desire to get legal action against the retailer who has taken too much for little Johnny’s shoes or the family beefsteak may yet have the gratification of pouring their woes into the ear of a feminine department of justice agent, It will be interesting to watch the effect on clothing and food prices should women agents be named. As the food administration acts during the war educated the women of the country, this new bill may give them additional insight into the matter of buying and selling in quantities.
