I There Seem to Be Advantages In Snow Houses A snow-house is the most adaptable 9f dwellings, writes Vflhjalmur Stefans on In Harpers magazine. If" it gets . loo warm either for the comfort of the inhabitants or because the roof begins to thaw, you can lower the temperature by enlarging the ventilating hole with your knife. If it gets too cold, you make the hole smaller by stuffing a mitten Into it. If the roof begins to, thaw be , cause it la made of blocks that are too thick, you, send a man out .with a long knife or machete and he thins them down until the frost without neutralizes the heat from within and' the thawing - stops. But If you have made your roof . too thin, and hoar-feost begins to form . from your breath, and from the steam that rises, from the cooking, then a man goes out with a hovel instead of a knife and throws a little soft snow on the roof to blanket it from the excessive cold.

Rupert Julian, director and actoi who will be long remembered for his portray al of the kaiser in "The Kaiser, Beast of Berlin," is the star of the production.

Realiz ing this, and to save himself and pal from the chair, Hatton Impersonates the dead man, whom he closely resembles. The emotional appeal of the story lies in Hatton's relationa with Olwell's wife, and another element of suspense lies, in the disappearance of the $200,000.
