to plant the trees may be counted as
a reason.

IGLoo HOME SUITS ESKIMO
Stefansson Declares Substitution Of
Concrete Huts Would Bring
Death TO the Natives.

The movements to modernlze the
Eskimo by providing him with con-
crete huts in place of his picturesque
snow igloos, as suggested by an off,
ciai of the United States bureau of
fisheries, would be the death of the
denizens of the icy North, in the opin-
ion of Vilhjalmur Stefansson. the arc
tic explorer. Not only is the Eskimo
devoted to his age-long habitation, as
the South sea islanders are to their
traditional garb of flower garlands and
fresh smiles, but he is far healthier.
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 Pribilof Islands were about to dis
card their snow huts for modern con-
Bering sea too strong for the former,
upon which the story of the intended
change Of Eskimo habits was based,
Mr.. Stefansson characterized as too
silly for discussion. The explorer, talk
ing at his headquarters at the National
Geographical society building at New
York, said that the Pribilof islanders
had never lived In snow huts, but in
wooden huts, and that farther north,
where the natives do live in snow
houses, it would be next to impossible
TO convert them to any other dwell
ing.
"Their igloo serves as a home for
two or three weeks" he said. Then
they build new one Because It is
new ii 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 condi-
tons. In all, the igloo is as comfort
able home as a man could wish"

Aviators' Qualifications.

In England airnen were apt to be
ardent hunters of the fox and to have
what horsemen call "hands"-a quality
which as aviators enabled them to
knew instinotively, as 1t were, what
an airplane was going to do before
IT did it. And, what will be shocking
to some folk, to keep the aviator In
best condition for his work and for
enduring its terrible stresses, he SEEM
ed, according to these authorities, to
need "a really riotous evening at
least once or twice a month" The
older men were found to use alcohol
freely, hut the younger ones required
no such stimulants, and they all avoid
ed excess, being well aware that for
them the penalty was sudden death.
Marriage deteriorated the aviator by
increasing his sense of personal re-
'sponsihnity for others. Courage he
had, of course, and a touch of reek-
lessness is not undesirable from the
standpoint of achievement in war
