launched a movement to establish IN

simple life colony, where no clothing Will
be worn, the razor will be unknown, and
fruits and nuts will be the principal
articles OF diet.
The name OF the new colony is probably

Ander says, 1t was the simple life thought

Paradise Breeze. but a few days age
something whispered to the prophet:
'Ander. why wear clothes7'

So Ander has gone about getting con-
verts, and he now has fifty By the time
the idea OF the Breezers gets BLOWN
out a bit, however. he fully expects to
have 500 or thereabout and on the LIST
Of September the happy, care-free,

doesn't mind talking about his plans.

Our walking upright shows that we

the prophet. sweeping away all the evo-

seen any cows climbing trees for their
sustenance. But, however. Boss Ander
went on to explain, the main object Of
raising fruits and nuts is that you don t
have 10 raise them at all Cha, HAD; they
raise themselves. while all the colonlsts
will have to do is 10 laze around and
grow whiskers.
On account Of some prejudice IN this
country against the troop of trained Atm
tiles of which Ander is TO be boss ring
master. Mexico. he thinks. will be fine
OF course in Mexico you can go as far
as you Ike.
Every cOlonist can raise what he likes
For instance. Ander himself wants to
raise cocoanuts, and when you come 10
figure II out. that's & good idea OF his
raising cocoanuts. He has it figured out
too. Cocoanut trees only take about five
years to come into bearing. but that de-
tail the prophet will have attended 10.
You see" he elucidated, six acres .ac-
cOmmodate 200 cocoanut trees. Now. as
each tree drops one a day. l shall have
10000 cocoanuts for 10000 days. each hay
ing an exchange value of 1 cent"
But. suppose as cocoanuts are so easy
to raise. they all try emf" asked the re-
porter. How are you going 70 get around

them from your"

Those are worldly questions" waved
the prophet, "and frivolous al that What
want to impress on you is the serious
side Of the question. Leaving cocoanuts

Of the colony will be 20 rear beautiful
children. Men and women are 10 be

to seeing who have the finest offspring.

they will be re-wed by the state. The
children won't have to be fed. clothed or
educated any more than pigs, so they
won't be any trouble at ALL They won't
even be named. OF what use would II be
naming them?"
When It comes down 10 the asking OF
pertinent questions, the Boss Breezer has
ton on lot Of them. Then, too. he asks.

TO do so2"
Ander is very busy right now getting
ready. To be "supremely fit" his hair and
whiskers viii have to be a lot longer he
says. though a mattress manufacturer
would cop 'em off at good price now II
they were on the market. What can no
seen OF the Breezer through his zephyr
catchers shows him 20 be a fresh-com-
plexioned, bright-eyed man of possibly
forty. He is Swede, and was a clerk IN
