CONCRETE WILL
 NOT BE USED IN ESK|MOS' H0MES
Stefansson Says Idea Is Silly and Will Not Be
 Adopted.

New York, Dec. 13-The move ment to modernize the Eskimo by providing him with concrete huts in place of his picturesque snow 'igloos" as suggested by an official of the
 United States Bureau of Fisheries, would be the death of the denizen of the icy North, in the opinion of Vilh- Jalmur Stefansson, the Arctic eX-
 plorer. Not only is the Eskimo de- voted to his age-Iong habitation as
 the South Sea Islanders are to their
 traditional garb of flower gariands and fresh smiles, but he is far health fer, warmer and more comfortable in
 his domed mansion of snow blocks
 than he could be in any modern
 house of concrete.
 The statement that the natives of
 the Prybilooff Islands were about to
 discard their snow huts for modern
 concrete huts, finding the gales of the
 Bering Sea too strong for the former,
 upon which the story of the intended
 change of Eskimo habits was based,
 MT. Stefansson characterized as too
 silly for discussion. The explorer,
 talking at his headquarters st the
 National Geographical Society build
 ing here said that the Prybiloff
 Islanders had never lived in snow but
 in wooden huts and that further
 north, where the natives do live in snow houses. 1t would be next to i'm
 possible to convert them to any
 other dwelling.
 Their igloo serves as a. home for two or three weeks. Then they build new one. Because 1t Is new it is clean and sanitary. It is as warm and comfortable as your library. A
 candle gives as much illumination as three electric lights. because of the
 intense whiteness of the snow. The snowhouse will stand under any con-
 dttions In all, the igloo Is as com fortable a home as a man could wish. The concrete hut, like the wooden hut, must be uncomfortable and un- sanitary. Wherever the natives have changed from the snow to the wooden home there has followed pneumonia and typhoid and a tremendous in crease in the death rate.
 ''The Eskimos are a migratory race. Contact with civilization has affected them and they are dying off. They must soon be extinct and the concrete hut hastens that extinction. The Eskinlos are like the gypsies. Try to keep a gypsy in a house of con- crete and see what happens.
 "Strl, the Eskimos might be con verted to the concrete hut went on MT. Stefa nsson, smiling. If 1t be- comes the fashion. Should concrete homes become fashionable, all Eski- most would soon be living in them. Human nature is the same the world over. Let some one introduce the wearing of furs, as a fashion, in the Zulu Islands and the natives there would wear furs. Women wear furs in Califoria and Florida, where the climate is just as hot as on the Zulu Islands. So you see, you never can tell''

CLARK MOTTO
 BE IN HARVARD GAME ON COAST

Cambridge, Dec. 13-1t now seems likely that there will be a break in the lineup of the regular Harvard football team which Bob Fisher hop ed to be able to take to Pasadena to play against Oregon on New Years Day.
 Clark, one Of the heaviest Iinemen and wbo played left guard most of the season, has been bothered since the Yale game with an old back in jury and it is feared he will not be able to make the trip.
 Brown, the first substitute, doubt less will be used, and as Philbin will not be able to go, the coaches prob ably will place Arnold Horween at centre and rely on Havemeyer, who started the Yale game, as first sub stttute for the match out on the coast.
 Arnold Horween was at centre in the drill in the baseball cage yester- day and Ralph Horween was at full back, the team really standing as 1t did after Harvard scored the field goal against Yale in the Stadium three weeks ago. Fisher is spending a lot of time on his defensive play, which Is being specially coached to meet the Oregon eleven's style of line attack.

HUN REVOLUTION
 CRITICIZED BY SOCIALIST PAPER

Berlin, Dec. 13. Results of the first year of the revolution in Ger many are summarized by the So- ciaHst Monthly as comprising a de- cline in the value of the mark, in crease in the cost of living, decreased production of coal and steadily mounting public debts. The paper casts a balance for the year in a bit ter and sarcastic vein,
 It points out that the mark has declined in value within the -ear from 72 Swiss francs to 2o.25 francs. It gives a long list of articles of food showing increases ranging up to 100 per cent. for butter, and near ly 200 per cent. for eggs. The paper states that the cost of transp ortation has increased.
 The production. of coal Is asserted q to have declined from 190,000, ,000 tons a year before the war to TO- O0G,000 tons in the first year of the revolution. This is not withstand ing an increase in the number of persons employed in the mining in dustry, exclusive of war prisoners who now have been sent back to Farce and Belgium.
 Eehts and taxes are declared to be steadily growing into an unbea rab1e burden for the taxpayer. The paper asserts that Germany's debts will ag- gregate. on. April 1, 1920, -212, ,000,- 30o,C0G marks, exclusive of the debt to the Entente. The deficit of iae T,russian railroad for the year of the revolution is declared to total at least S,963, 100000 marks.
 In conclusion the paper warns the people of Germany that they nFist pay for these "ach'evements of the revolution"

Loss OF $4,000 INCURRED IN FIRE;
DOWkPOUR HELPS ladies SUPPRESS
DANGEROUS BLAZE SUNDAY AFTERNOON

Confusion resulted when the fire was
discovered, due to the fact that no on,
seemed to know where the hose carts
and other fire-fighting equipment were
to be found. Since the burning last
fall, of the city hall, where the city's
fire apparatus was housed, the equip
ment was stored at various places in
the business sectio,.. Finally the hose
carts were discovered in a shed near
the old laundry, but the door was lock-
ed, and it was necessary to pry off the
lock before the door could be opened.
The hook-and-ladder wagon was located
in the Eimers garage, which, also, was
locked.
In appreciation the work done by
the fire department, the Bank of Camas
Prairie gave the organization 500, and
the Observation-Disclosures company
gave the firemen $50. The fire depa
nent has expressed gratitude to the
,wO concerns for the donations.
