end well, and ties the thin end with the strip of yellow cedar-bark 
in || this way: This is called ‘“cedar-bark head-presser.’’ 
It is | put on the forehead of the child so that its face 
may be flat- tened a little, and so that the | forehead 
may not grow to be too round, and so that | the upper end of the 
nose may be flat, and the eyes not set deep in the face. | The cedar- 
bark cushion for the side of the face and the forehead-presser together 
bring the face of the child to a good shape, || in the way the Indians 
want to have it. | 
When the cedar-bark forehead-presser is finished, she takes wool 
and | pats it with her hands until it becomes thin and pressed- 
together. | Then she measures it across the forehead of the child, | 
beginning at the eyes, and going to the back of the head. This is || 
to be laid under the forehead-presser, and it is called “soft wool for 
the forehead.” | 
When this has been done, she takes a drill and drills a hole | one 
span from the head-end of the | cradle; and when the hole goes 
through, she drills another hole | the same distance as the one she 
made on the upper side of the cradle; and || when it goes through, she 
takes a red-hot, long, thin stone and | pushes it into the hole, in order 
to enlarge it ore to make it smooth, | in this way: y, 
This is called “hole for the twisted hair | rope of we sit cae 
the head-presser.”’ |
