EXTRA SESSION TO BE CALL
 ED FOR ROADS AND H. c. L

Little, Rock, Aug. 22.-It now seems almost certain that another extra session of the legislature will be called, probably for about Sept. l5.
 The Governor returned yesterday from his trip to reunions at Newark, Lockesburgh, and Mammoth Spring, and the Farmers short Course at Fayetteville. He said he was not in position to go into details, but that a call for an extra session is very probable, if a working majority of both houses can be pledged to attend the meeting.
 In the event that extra session is called, in additional to remedial road legislation, the subject of profiteer- ing will doubtless be included in the call.

FOREST FIRES ARE

TIMBER

PORTLAND.-For fires. are cost

sue Of The Forest Patrolman, publish
ed by the Western Forestry & Con
servation Association at Portland.
Much of this loss is preventable. This
association asserts that the wise ex-
penditure Of one per cent of this five
million dollars could secure such pub
lie interest and so encourage fire pre-
ventive measures that forest fire
causes could be reduced practically to
and incendiaries.
Forest fire losses the past season

Idaho, light in Washington and above
normal in Oregon, California had Sc
we're fires late in the season so that
complete data is not yet in with refer
ence to her total losses The expenses
for protection of privately owned lands
will be above the average for the sea-
son, due in part to the high cost of
labor and supplies. The effort Of priv
ate timberland owners to reduce fire
loss is efficiently organized and has
been generally effective. AS result
Of greater activity in law enforcement,

CONCRETE HUTs FOR
EsK|M0s PLANNED
ARTIC EXPLORER THINKS PRO-
POSED CHANGE WOULD WIPE
OUT THESE PEOPLE

NEW YORK-The movement to
modernize the Eskimo by providing
him with concrete huts in place of
his picturesque snow "igloos," as sug-
gested 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 Vilhjalmur
Stefanson, the Artic explorer. Not
only is the Eskimo devoted to his age
long habitation as the South Sea is
landers are to their traditional garb
of flower garlands and fresh smiles,
but he is far healthier, warmer and
more comfortable in his domed man
sion of snow blocks than he could be
in any 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 Bearing Sea too strong for the
former, upon which the story of the
intended change of Eskimo habits was
based5 Mr.. Stefanson characterized
as too silly for discussion. The ex-
plorer, talking at his headquarters.
at thef National. Geographical Society
building here, said that the Prybiloff-
islanders had never lived in snow huts
but in wooden huts and that further
north, where the natives do live in
snow houses, it 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
a new 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 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
affected them and they are dying off. |
They must soon be extinction and the |
hut hastens that extinction |
The Eskimos are like the gypsies. Try
TO keep gypsy IN house of con-
crete and see what happens.
"Still, the Eskimos might be con-
