"ANTI-NUDICTS" Bunker Hill "Boysv Re- ceiving Secret Treat ments For Bald Pates Miracles Re-
 ported By Happy Beneficiaries

l.
 Bunker Hill went Pro-Nudist i'm a big way some months ago, that is, it's publicity agent con ceived the idea of establishing a nudist camp in that section of the city. Scores hunted for it's location with plenty of en- thusiasnn, but no one ever found it.
 Now Bunker Hill, or at least some of it's male residents, have become anti-nudiStS or anti bald-headed.
 With al lthe sincerity of pri- vileged members of g secret so- ciety a score or more Bunker Hill "boys" are in league for bigger and better crops of hair. Near Grandview avenue bar Der shop on certain evenings the elect gather for treat ments. Believe it or not the magic tonic is a compound of several ingredients, but it is bringing results. Some of the zealOus converts to. the cause will doff their hats and invite inspection of their pates, which once resemble cue balls, but now furnish evidence of "p0- tentiaI growth" and believe it again folks, if you are interest- ed, the Master magician of re- storing hair to fertile crowns is 8 woman.
 No one has yet formally sug- gested it but it is likely that at the next Bunker Hill flower and garden show an attractive prize will be offered for the best crop officially credited by the his- t0rian of the club.
 Expressions of sympathy have yet to be received from the headed Club of America, which considers "baldness" a mark of intellectual distinction or something like that, but Bunker Hill men crave their crOwning glory.
