This Business of Suppression Is Carried
Out by Zealots Who Are 20
Years Behind Times
BY RUPERT HUGHES

fifty years against the struggle of
mankind 10 get its skin out into
the salvation of the sunlight must
feel that their jobs and crusades
are about over; for in the fashions
of today there are precious little
clothes left to leave off.
Plain honest people who believe
in purity and honesty but believe
that they are a matter Of conduct.
not costume, will feel that it doesn't
matter what the future puts on or
leaves off.
Only a few weeks ago ] met a
wilderness-explorer and asked him
il it were true in his experience as
in the records of so many travellers,
that the most moral of all the Afri-
can tribes are the Kavirondos who
wear exactly what Adam and Eve
wore in the pre-fig leaf days. And
ne said 1t was true.
SUN is MEDICINE.
One thing is certain, and every
doctor admits IL, that the sunlight
upon the skin is a medicine Of
tremendous importance. 1t has
recently been discovered that the
ultraviolet rays in the sunlight are
to credit for the marvellous cura-
tive and preventive value Of day
light on the human hide.
Experiments with quartzlights at
the University of Chicago by DR..
C. /. Reed, national research fel-
low in the department of physiology
there, explain why sunlight cures
ricketts, and tuberculosis; and why
women and sailors who affect de-
collete costumes suffer so much less
from lung and other diseases than
male civilians and soldiers.
Excess of sunlight is as danger.
Gus as excess of water or food and
may be fatal, but in moderation
the sunlight is our salvation. The
less clothes we wear in the summer
time, the greater our health will be
then and throughout the winter
when the cold drives even the ami
mails to growing the pelts that we
have lost the ability to put on from
within.
1t is time to throw overheard a
whole cargo of ancient ideas of
morality that were poisonous TO
bodily as well as to spiritual health.
How many sweet young girls and
golden lads have been murdered or
crippled by the false modesties in
stilled in the minds of their mothers
and fathers?
During the middle ages only three
million men and women were burned
TO death for witchcraft. But who
could estimate the millions who
have been sent TO early graves or

Not Have Your Job and Husband 10th? Asks Kathleen Norris

And my advice is as brief as
Punch's advice, two generations
ago. He said, Don't" 1 say,
DO
Marry. And carry what you've
learned of commonsense and eff
ficiency and industry away from the
barren office into that little bunga-
low. Don't look at the other girls
in the office for example or SYM
pathy-what ds THEY know?
Look to the top-look at old u.
c." the president of the firm. Look
back 80 years, when he started the
whole big business on $135 cash,
and went hungry, and dirty, and
tired day and night until he got it
started.
II ever you got a chance to say
something to old J. G. it would
repay you to say something like
this:
u. G., I'm marrying Jim Smith
next week on $50 a week. I'm
going to take one Of those unfash-
ionable apartments over on Bridge
street, at $27.50. I'm going to cut
out doilies and silver polishing and
whipped cream and theater seats and
even a telephone, for a few years.
I'm going to have a couple Of boys
or a couple of girls II have to go
to the City and County Hospital
when they come. I'm going TO teach
Jim to like a dinner of macaroni or
combination salad, instead of steaks
and lobster, I'm going to join the
public library and the free lecture
courses, and in a few years I'm go
ing to know as much about my bust
nress as you do about yours!"
COPY BIG MEN.
He'd look at you across his big
walnut desk, in that luxuriously
shaded office of his, and the one
feeling in his heart would be admira-
ton, and the one feeling in his
brain, envy.
In other words, you business girls
who are contemplating marriage,
don't borrow your methods from the
women who have failed, but borrow
them from the men who have sue
ceeded,. The superficial young girl
standard Of dressing, amusements,
shallow pride, ignorance, never made
a marriage successful yet. The out
side world has to be set aside for a
few years; you must have your goal,
no matter what the neighbors say.
That viewpoint makes economy,

has been almost overrun with hordec
Of young men practicing daily for
various Variations and wearing
nothing but a trunk and a bit of
shirt. I never heard of anybody
claiming that the morals of the
community suffered from this Hell
lenic spectacle. The health of the
young men certainly improved enor-
mously.
WOMANS MEDICINE.
But swimming is a medicine for
women. In New York there is 4
Women's Swimming Association,
whose amateur coach, Louis de B.
Handley, trained the team Of girls
that won every Olympic event 30
easily that even the finny Finland
ers asked him to come over and re-
form their methods.
Mr.. Handley says that swim
ming performs miracles for wom-
ems health. One Of his pupils came
to him at the point of death. She
began gently with long sunbaths
and quiet padding. Gradually her
health improved and now she wins
prizes in long distance contests.
A more striking example is the
case of Ethelda Bleibtrey, who as
a child suffered a severe curvature
Of the spine, cured it by nothing
but swimming, and is now one of
the champion swimmers of the
world.
Only a week or so ago she heard
a cry for help and saw far out
from shore a family struggling in
the water from capsized rowboat.
Two men in skiffs rowed out to
the rescue, but Miss Bleibtrey,
plunging in, passed them with her
tremendous power and speed, and
arrived in time to save three lives.
SUGGESTS LAW.
Back to the sea, women! Aphro-
dite was born of the sea and her
joy Of life came thence.
While there is so much law
making going on, and there are laws
against nearly everything, includ-
ing the criticizing of our form of
government, why not pass a few
laws making it criminal libel to
criticize people who's in for swim
ming and a felony to propose any
regulation interfering with CO.'S
tunes.
The Board Of Health should look
into the matter, for anything that
tends to weaken the girls, weakens
the women, and all their children.
There are laws against spreading
disease germs; why not against
poisoning the public mind against
salvation by swimming?

~ o jump from office position perhaps the
result of years of conscientious work and
effort into the totally different world of
housekeeping and wifehood, is a frightening thing
to hundreds of grls-and wonder!
Every young couple has a time of acute scare,
when wonders how other families 60 on so quietly,
somehow meeting their obligations every month.
Sometimes, before the young business woman
gets into marriage at all, she writes to some older
woman and asks, "Shall | do it?"
And my advice is brief Punch's advice, two
generations ago. He said, "Don't." / say "DO"
Marry. And carry what you've learned of COM
mon sense and efficiency and industry away from
the barren office into that little bungalow Don't
look at the other girls in the office for example or
sympathy. Look at the top.
In other words, don't borrow your methods from
the women who have failed, but borrow them from

driven through life in racking mis-
cry to carry out the theory that the
human body must neither be exposed
nor developed for its own sake?
When Adam and Eve were cursed
with clothes. Jehovah was satisfied
to make them aprons of skins. I
know of nothing in the Bible that
has altered that edict, or command
ed more than aprons.
In some tropical climates the
sunlight is of such nature that it
is dangerous to go unclad and we
find the most immoral people
swaddled in sheets that surround
even their faces. But nobody praises
their conduct as beyond reproach.
SKIN MUST BREATHE.
In climate like ours, where hot
summers alternate with severe win
tiers, it is of the greatest import
ance that the skin should be allowed
to breathe and burn a little, while
the season permits. Thin materials
are better than thick and none at
all are better than thin. The much
maligned peek-a-boo waist is a gar
ment of health and the whole ma
ton and posterity benefit from the
new spirit that strips most of the
artificial integushent off of most Of
the population for a while each
summer and sends the bare-legged,
bare-armed, bare-breasted populace
out to the WATERSHEDS by the tens
Of millions.

budgets, dishwashing, shabbiness all
seem what they really can be made;
a means to an end.
WHY NOT WORK,
But aside from them, can't you
modern business women do n little
pioneering in the matter Of jobs,
and combine the two lives happily
and satisfactorily? Working hours
are getting shorter and shorter, spe-
cialized work more and more in de-
mand. Why not go to the board of
education and ask for just the Latin
classes, at half-pay-one-third pay?
That's your subject, that's what YOU
like to do, and that would mean
$500 a year for two hours work five
mornings a week.
They might laugh at the idea at
first yet 1t is a perfectly sound
idea, and sooner or later our schools
are going to be managed that way.
Or why not go to the shop.keeper,
the dentist. the real estate office,
the tea-room, the Woman's Ex-
change, the clinic, the private school,
the factory, the hotel, the wholesale
house. and offer part time?
THINGS TO DO.
You could watch a shop. You
could help to count towels. You
could check lunch trays. You could
answer telephone. You could roll
up tumbled ribbons, or pin the tiny
tags to bingham aprons.
Just through the rush hours, or
the lunch hours. Just from 10 to
/, from IL to 2, from 3 to 6.
Suppose it does pay only 81 a
day-that's something. That's an
opening wedge. That's more than
the Astor-the Gould-the Carne-
gle fortune started on.
The next time you see mad con-
fusion in the dress department of
the big shop, offer your services
from 2 to g.. The manager will
glance sharply at you-a lady, mar
ried, nice figure, nice manner
and speech.

80 and has since spent two hours

During the winter she goes regular

WHY GIRLS GAIN.
The next paragraph is a cable
from London saying that the ex-
PLANTATION had been found for the
fact that girls are gaining in health
faster than boys. DR.. Leonard Hill,
like DR.. Reed, credits the improve
ment to the ultraviolet rays of the
sunlight which penetrate the flimsy
attire Of the girls while the thick
clothing of the males acts as a
screen. This doctor, therefore,
urges the increased use of low-neck-
ed waists, short skirts and trans
parent hosiery.
These loud-mouthed moralists who
denounce the flapper for her scant
attire and her athletic frenzies ought
to take stock of themselves. They
belong among the dodos who said
that bathing was fatal and that to
wash an infant was heinous
crime. They have the appearance
of intelligence and pretend to the
highest morality, yet constantly
