The Architects" a simple life col
ony. will bet any one from $4,000
to 100000 that the child of any two
members of his colony, married under
the rules of the colony, will possess
at birth all the wisdom desired for II
by its parents. Gluck made this offer
after completing the organization OF
the ruling council of his strange cult.
The purpose of THE Architects" is
perfection through recreation, he de-
clares. The members of the colony
are to make themselves as nearly per
ditions they have passed through, but
for their children they shall have de-
termined absolute perfection through
training. The daily diet of the colony
Is fruit, cereals, nuts and vegetables,
with oil as a beverage. No meat of
any kind is allowed inside the house.
Nothing OF animal origin is permitted
to the members. Hair mattresses are
tabooed, the members taking to hay
for slumber. Brushes are made from
fiber altogether. BARRIERS, butchers
and saloonkeepers are not admitted to
the house. The men are bearded, as
no shaving is allowed. Dr.Gluck,
wearing bathing suit and huge
watch chain, explained the object of
his institution. I'VE give livlihood
to our members" he said. I'VE re-
quire no money from them. We ask
no questions of their religion, but
we all believe in God, who is per
feet. In order that God may find a
worthy tabernacle In our bodies, we
wish to make our bodies as perfect
as possible. Parents among us have
no more than two children. one male
and one female. The father and
mother study to have a perfect child
We have now young man and wom-
an studying to marry each other We
have a Spartan system of having the
man and women in separate parts of
the colony"
