PHYSICAL CULTURE CITY
MAY LEAVE SP0TSW00D

It is reported that Spotswood and
Middlesex county may lose Bernarr
MacFadden's Physical Culture City,
which is located between Spotswood
and Helmetta.
The 'city" has grown up around
the big printing plant at which the
Physical Culture magazine and other
publications are printed. In addition,
there are the houses and tents of the
pupils taking the physical culture
course under MacFadden's direction.
Now 1t is stated that the printing
plant is to be removed to New York
City or to a location somewhere in
Michigan. The management has both
places under consideration.
Thei industry and city would be
severe loss to Spotswood, as the
institution brought considerable
money to the merchants of that vi
cinity and gave employment to a
large number of people.
MacFadden has had trouble with
the United States Government and is
under sentence on charge of using
the mails for circulating obscene lit
erature, the charges being based
upon certain articles in his magazine.
The sentence has been appealed to
the higher courts.
