RACE NOW DWlNDLING RAPIDLY

New York, Dec. 27-The movement
to rrodernize the Eskimo by provid-
ing him with concrete huts in place
OF his picturesque snow "igloos, as
suggested by an official of the United
states bureau of fisheries, would De
the death of the denizen of the icy
north in the opinion of Nilhjalmur
Stefansson. the Arctic explorer. Not
only is the Eskimo devoted to his age
long habitation as the South. Sea
lrianders are to their traditional garb
of flower garlands and fresh smiles,
but he is far healthier. warmer ana
more comfortable in his domed man
sion of snow blocks than he could be
i'm anv modern house of concrete.
The statement that the natives of
the Prybiloff Islands were about to
discard their snow huts for modern
concrete huts. finding the gales of the
Behring sea too strong for the former,
uDon which the story of the intended
change of Eskimo habits was based,
Mr.. Stefansson characterized as too
silly for discussion. The explorer.
talking at his headquarters at the
national geographical society build
ing here. said that the Prybiloff
islanders had never lived in snow but
wooden huts and that further north,
where the natives do live in snow
houses, it would he next to impossi-
bile to convert them to any other
dwelling.

Their igloo serves as a home for
two or three weeks. Then they build
"A rev one. Because it is new it is
clean and sanitary. 1t 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 snow
house will stand under any conditions.
In all. the igloo is as comfortable a
home as u 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 con-
crete hut hastens that extinction. The
lcskimos are like the gypsies. Try to
keep gypsy in house of concrete

Still, the EskimoS might be con-

Mr.. Stefansson, smiling. "If it be-

FOUND VOICES IN WELL
Then Indiana Farmer Discovers, All

Petersburg, Ind, Dec. 27.-The deep
tones of a masculine voice from the
bottom of a well on the property of
Dode Smith, living just east of Peters
burg, recently startled the whole
neighborhood for a few minutes.
Smiths deep-drilled water we'll had
suddenly gone dry and he had sent for

XMAS GIFT MYSTERIES
STAGGER RECIPIENTS But
NEARLY ALL SOLUTIONS IN
Men Find Out What Presents Are
for; Women Indulge in Hysteria
of Exchange.

Sufficient time has now passed since
Christmas for many persons to have
learned what some of the gifts they
received were intended for.
In the search for some suitable
unique novelty gift many articles are
bought and in the case of many of
them it is often a doubt as for what
they were to be used.
Women seem far more ingenious
than men in figuring out what is the
proper thing to dc with gifts of doubt
full usage. One of the funniest things
in the world is to observe a man open
a Christmas package and discover
some object he is unable to tell for
what it is intended There is first the
pleased. satisfied look of having just
received gift. Then he finds the
card, learns who it is from and is fur
ther pleased to find that the. person
thought of him. He turns the gift
over, inspecting it critically, and as
sumes a thoughtful. judicial look.S4I g
attempts to look wise, just as if he
knew all there was to know aboutsthe
thing. The family crowds around.
They all ask, What is it? What is it
for?'' Don't you known" asks the
man. He maintains a stubborn si-
lence. Gradually a smile spreads over
his face and breaks out into gleeful
Then there is the bird who buys
a jug of perfume for lady. wife
or otherwise Unless he is on to the
ropes and knows just what to buy he
purchases the wrong odor. A really
considerate woman simply pours it
into another bottle and gives it away
the first chance she gets, filling her
bottle with the odor she likes best.
Either that or the man takes it back
and makes a trade for some other
brand of flou-fHou water.
Gloves are such a useful, safe sort
of present, but, what can a poor girl
do with a dozen pairs of gloves. Espe-
cially when it was silk stockings she
needed. Or the girl who received a
dozen pairs of silk stockings when it
was gloves she needed most. : Hunt
up some one and make a trade, says
the practical person.
Consider the Christmas necktie, the
rampant blazing peacock in aH-its in
describa BILE variation of conflicting
cotors. No matter how poor the taste
out his necktieS for personal con-
sumption, he thinks he is world
beater when it comes to choosing era
watts. Either that or he buys the first
one a clerk shows him and wears it
until it succumbs to senile decay. But
on Christmas day every man can
usually count on a neckte or two.
Never by any wild chance are they
ties he would choose for himself.
ValianIly he dons one and steps out.
The minute he steps into a crowd of
men who know him they instantly
discern the gift tie. Smiles appear at
once.

doing up there?" said the voice.
After regaining their composure.
the men called down that they were
trying to get water. There's plenty
of it down here" declared the voice.
An investigation disclosed that
miners were working under the well.
In making 'room." they had under
mined Smiths property and all the
water had run into the mine.
The coal company has decided to
drive a big wooden plug into the bot
tom of Smiths well SO that it will run
again.

FLoRDA'S PROSPERITY

Florida is prosperous, more pros
porous than at any period of the
states history Take the winter and
spring shipments of fruits and vegeta-
bles as an indication, and we find:
Twenty-Five thousand carloads OF
citrus fruits have gone out of the
state
Eleven thousand carloads of vegeta-
bles of all kinds.
These have brought many millions
of dollars TO the stata-and the great
bulk of it to south Florida.
There is no good excuse for any
pessimism in Florida. Its prosperity
is too plain, too evident. A trip
through the fruit growing and truck
raising sections will cure any feeling
that things are not good and tending
to even better conditions. There is
work for more than the labor availa-
BILE. Wages are higher than at any
period in the states history.
Il you should ask US what is Flor,
ida's greatest need today we would
reply:
More men to tickle the soil and
bring forth ever-increasing harvests
so bountifuIly answering the labor of
the willing. Tampa Tribune
