degree. In the Summer clothes come off.
Bathing suits and shorts are getting briefer
md sun baths more popular than ever. Eve

point.
The next step, say the nudists, and adj
mttedly courageous one will be discarding
them altogether.
DIT. Parmelee isn't the only well-known
man who has become "A nudst The list
starts with Adam and is filled with big names
from every sphere of life.
There was the Archduke Leopold of
Austria
His Highness was getting over a love
affair when he met the actress Wilhelmina
Woelfng. She gave up her career for an
extended honeymoon in Switzerland.
Leopold had to give up all his titles and
estates and become plain Mr.. Woelflng but
he said it was worth it.
One night they were dining when a beg
ging couple came TO the door. They said
they belonged to a nudst colony and their
scanty clothing showed they had effected but
a mild compromise.
They were fed and then they launched
into long sermon why everyone should
go nude. Leopold was irate and ordered
them from the house.
Wilhelmina thought things over and de-
cided she would like to visit the colony where
the couple lodged; after some persuasion,
Leopold agreed.
This particular group lived on raw vege-
tables in rude huts Lake Ascania To
Leopods expensive tastes this was frugal
fare indeed and he dragged his bride away.
To welcome them back the colony staged a

been true nudism by the nudists. 1t was
merely custom. not conviction, they argue,
Carlyle, in "Sartor Resartus" was of the
opinion that without clothes all men are
equal. In Turkish bath it is almost impos-
sible to distinguish a Wall Street broker
from dishwasher.
This is one of the reasons why the nudists
believe that the world can solve all its prob
lens, including war famine and fever, by
shocking Its shirts and shorts and sitting
around in it's skin.
Who, for example would bow down 10 a
Fuehrer or a Field Marshal Goering if they
were stripped down TO their birthday suits?
All they would get would be belly laugh
To prove this, the nudsts say their camps
and colonies are the most democratic spots
on earth They feel freer, saner and healthier
and have more fun than their fully-clothed
brethren There is no need for anyone to
take leadership. Responsibilities are shared
Puritanical critics still maintain that such
colonies are like big burlesque shows with
everybody doing a strip tease without even
a G-string. But such comparisons. say the
nudsts, only show where the critics minds
are.
OF course everyone is a nudist to some

moonlight dance in the nude and invited
Leopold and his wife TO join them. But the
couple got stage fright and hid in the bushes,
watching the cavorting.
When they returned home, Wilhelmina in
sisted on going around without any clothes
She also went on the vegetable
diet This saved on the food bills, but when
she insisted Leopold do the same, he strenu-
ousiy objected
Finally he told her to choose between
himself and the raw vegetables.
Without hesitation, his wife chose the
raw Vegetables mortal blow at Leopods
pride
After the divorce Wilhelmina went TO the
other extreme. She spent most of her alimony
on clothes even though she had TO live on raw
vegetables in cheap tenement.
The modern nudst colonies had their be-
ginnings in Germany. After the last war,
central Europe suffered from lack of food.
Children were puny and adults were afflicted
with vitamin deficiency diseases.
Medical men advised everyone to get as
much sun and air as possible They told them
to strip off their clothes and get out of doors.
Thousands did so and eventually groups got
together in secluded retreats TO protect them
selves from blue" laws and prudes.
When food supplies became more plentiful
the nudist idea had grown so popular that it
was not discarded.
1t in Germany that Or. Parmelee was
introduced to nudism. Long before Hitler he
had become member of several of the groups
in Germany, France and elsewhere on the Con-
tinent BY that time II was called the
"Nacktkultur" movement or nude culture

their clothes which were easily enough shed

painless and skirtless. Modern nudists think
this omission rather a blot on the shield of
Greek culture and that it proves they did
not really realize the Importance of nudism.
But in the games the Greeks no
necessity for the competitors male or female,
wearing anything but birthday suits.
Nudism cropped out strongly also in the
days of the Roman Empire when men and
women splashed together in the great baths
without even the apology for bathing suits
seen on the popular beaches Of today.
This did cause quite a lot Of scandal up TO
and after the time of the Fall Of the Empire.
It was the real reason why the early Chris
tians thought bathing was immoral, and that
dirtiness was a virtue. They did not stop 10
reason that it was not the water that was at
fault but. the Roman character. Hogs eat
apples and so does man, but because hog
eats an apple doesn't necessarily mean that.

A few years ago, a group of a hundred
Doukhobors paraded naked down the main
street Of one of their towns and the Canadian
police attempted to break up the parade.
They failed to do this Finally, some one
hit upon the idea of spraying the paraders
with itching powder
The scratching made it impossible for
them to proceed and they decided that the
torture mortified their flesh enough.

therapeutic and hygienc aspects Of an out
doors life.
DR.. Parmelee's principal contribution to
nudsm was giving it a new name. He called
it "gymnosophy," which comes from Greek
words meaning naked philosophy" The name
was meant to combine all the aspect OF mud
ism, the whole scheme Of ideas and manner OF
life implied by it.
Not long after his book appeared, Blanche
West, who used the stage name Of "Zorine,"
announced that she was going to convince the
world that there was nothing rude about the
nude except the prudes who condemned 1t. So
in 1885, she opened the Zorro Gardens at the
Pacific International Exposition at San Diego,
California.
In the lush gardens, designed TO resemble
the Garden of Eden, Zorine and several other
girls and young men paraded around in the
nude There were $50, 900 paid admissions and
it looked as though the girls might play there
until they died Of old age.
Then the San Diego police stepped in and
ordered the girls to put on some flesh-colored
tights The attendance dropped, but not be-
fore Sally Rand, the fan dancer, snubbed the
gardens.
There's a difference" defended one of the
girls in the Zorro Gardens, between the mud
ism which we practise and the fan dancing
of Miss Rand The difference is in our favor. ="
There is nothing more striking in the his
tory of nudism than the story of the Doukho-
bors, religious sect now living in Canada.
This religious community began about two
hundred years ago in Russia. They refuse to
participate in military service and renounce
tobacco. wine. meat and every kind of excess.
Because they refused to fight for the Car

Warned from Area
An army captain warned specta-

dripping from the wreckage, caused
miniature explosions. The officer
said that when the forest fire had
been quelled detachment OF SOL
diers would search a two-mile area
for other possible bodies.
First unofficial reports from the
scene had indicated that the plane
was an army bomber ard that as
many as eight men might have

said later that neither the type Of
ship nor number of personnel in

The wreckage was discovered az

One farmer and two of his chill

They were not injured, however.
