ICE HOUSE BEST
FOR ESKIMO
Be it Ever so Humble, Sta
fansaon Says, There's no
Dace Just Like it
. NEW YORK. N. vT. The move
ment to modernise the Eskimo by pro
viding him with concrete huts in place
of his ptcturoakue snow "Igloos," as
laugested by an official of tha United
ttatM Iturwau nf FlaharlM. would be
the death of the deniten of the icy
North, In tha opinion of Vilhjalmur
Stefansson, the Arctic explorer. Not
only ia tha 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 h is far healthier, warmer and
mora comfortable, in his domed man
sion of snow blocks than ha could be
In any modern house of concrete.
The statement that tha natives of
the Prybiloff Islands were about to
discard their snow huts for modern
concrete huts, finding tha gales of the
Bering Sea too strong for tha former.
upon which tha story of the Intended
change of Eskimo habitants was bas
ed, Mr. Stecansson characterised aa
too silly for discussion. Tha explor
er talking at his headquarters at the
National Geographical Society build
ing here, said that tha Prybiloff Is
lander had never lived in snow but
in wooden huts and that further
north, where tha natives do live in
snow houses. It would be next to Im
possible to convert them to any other
dwelling.
"Their Igloo serves as a homa for
two or three weeks. Then they build
a new one. Because it ia new it is
clean and sanitary. It is aa warm and
comfortable aa your library. A candle
gives aa much ilumination as three
electric lights, because of tha intense
whiteness of the anow. The snowhouse
will stand under any conditions. In
all, the igloo is as comfortable a home
as a man could wish.
"The concrete hut, like tha wood-
en hut, must be uncomfortable and
unsanitary. Wherever tha natives
have changed from tha anow to the
wooden horn there has followed
pneumonia and typhoid and a tre
mendous Increase in tha death rat.
"The Eskimos are a migratory race.
Contracts with civilisation has affect
ed them and they are dying off. They
must soon be extinct and the concrete
hut hastens tha) extinction. The Es
kimos are like the gypsies. Try to
keep a gypsy in a house of concrete
and see what happens.
"Still, the Eskimos might be eon-
verted to the concrete hut," went on
Mr. Stefansson, smiling. "If It be
comes the fashion. Should concrete
homes become fashionable, all Eski
mos would soon be living in them. 11 u
man nature ia the same the world ov-r
Let some on Introduce the wearing
of furs, aa a fashion, in the Zulu Is
lands, and the natives there would
wear furs. Women wear furs in Call
fornia and Florida, where the climate
is just as hot as on the Zulu Islands
So you see, you never can tell."
