NUDISTS STAGE HEALTH HUNT IN BASEMENT GYM Men and Women Frolic to Attain Beauty of Form: All Unclad. Activities of an indoor American nudist Stroup ate described below in the •aconri of rhraa articles th:>f present n impart)*! first-hand survey of nudism It is practiced In this country. Hera, too, many of the oft-jepe* tej ouestlons regarding this controversial movaman' are answered by one of its leading • xponents. BY PAUL HARRISON Nt.A (service Writer NEW YORK, July 19.—1 t was a hasoment gynmasium in New York City, and more than faintly jpdolent of perspiration and disinfectants. In th outer office a group of people stood about, Idly chatting, some looking at a collection of snapshots. The picture showed unclothed men and women doing exercises on a lawn, running a, race, trundling a wheelbarrow, lolling in the sun. One of the women giggled: * How awful T look!” "So do most of us, for that matter,” responded a man in the uniform of an army captain. “But 111 bet I take off twenty pounds within th* next —” Start Their Warmup ‘‘Come now. all of you,” called an officious little man. ‘‘Get your towels and we will go inside and warm up." Ten minutes later, members of the American Gymnosophical Associal ion began straggling from the i locker rooms to the gymnasium floor.l The women were clad in nondescript, rompers, dance suits and va- ! riously pinned-up one-piece dresses.; The men looked even more dowdy ’ in underwear shorts. Circles were formed and every-1 body went energetically at thej business of tossing heavy medicine balls about. Was this, then a sample of indoor I nudism, after all the preachments about the healthful aspects of exercising the completely unclothed body? No, it turned out, it was not. 1 The gymnosophists merely were j biding their time, for the outer doors j still were unlocked, both to latecoming members and to the police. Clothing Comes Off Rut at 8:30 the doors were locked, and the class of twenty-nine men; and seventeen women trooped back j to their lockers, removed their re- ] maining clothing, and returned for the activities of the evening. Old and paunchy, young and lithe, they spaced themselves about the room and earnestly began trying to imi- j tale the motions of their leader. The latter was a graceful young j woman, a professional dancer. Her ; assistant, likewise nude, sat at a J piano and played sprightly tunes for the rhythmic exercises. The posturing, kicking and bending was more strenuous than it appeared. for now' and then elderly and perspiring nudists, and sometimes ill-conditioned young ones | would halt, for a moment to catch their breaths. Play Running Games After nearly an hour of this, two mixed groups were formed and run- j ning games were played. These were j the sort of simple pastimes employed in Y. M. and Y. W. C. A. classes. The only time men and j women came into physical contact j was in a mixed relay race, when couples joined hands and lumbered j around a pylon at the far end of the | hall. Half an hour later the nudists j w ere ready for a swim. They dashed ' for the single shower room, gasped | as icy water splashed their sweaty bodies, and ran on to the pool, then dressed. And so ended the regular mid- I week meeting of the Gymnosophists. As they left, chattering conventional pleasantries and appreciation for "a lovely evening,” each reported to the i secretary. Miss Ruth Winkler, con- | reining his plans to attend one of ' the organization's two outdoor camps over the week-end. Morality Has No Part One of the most impressively | voluble of America's nudists is Dr. j Maurice Parmelee, sociologist, an- 1 fhor and honorary president of the Gmvnosophical Association. His book, "Nudism in Modern Life.” is a best-seller among the unclothed, and his standing as a scientist lends weight to his opinions. So it was from Dr. Parmelee that this reporter sought nudism's answers to some of the controverted questions about the movement. For instance what about the morality—- " Morality," exploded Dr. Parmelee "has nothing to do with it!” 1 lien he muffled his startling blast with an explanation. “In the public mind," he said, "nudity has gotten all mixed up with sex; and sex is mixed with morality. Asa matter of fact, they have nothing to do with each other. Being good or being honest are not ends in themselves People don't adopt morality for the sheer sake of being moral; they do it to avoid unpleasant or embarrassing consequences." More Reauty Than Ugliness “Then how about the ugliness of the average human body? Doesn't that make nudism unattractive to esthetically sensitive people?” The scientist paused a moment. "Well, maybe. But I’ve been to many camps here and abroad, and I'm in- , clined to think I've seen more beauty than ugliness. I believe most physical ugliness is largely due to the wearing of clothes, and it's pleasant to notice the improvement in the physiques of nudists. In a few more generations I don't believe the esthetes will be offended.” TOMORROW: The growth of nudism in the United States.

[Bandit Chief’s Vengeance Plot Thwarted; Daring Ranchers Cheat Death in Foe Lair
Texans Cross Border to Search for Horses, Return Alive. TMa it the fifth and latt *Urr in a on the Bend ronntrt f Tea. America lat frontier, he Harre McCormick. special rorrepondent for SEA Service and The Time*. BY HARRY M’CORMICK M A Service Writer Tw'o trail-weary horses scrambled down the rocky bank on the Mexican side of the Rio Grande and drank deep of the w'ater—drank as if their gaunt, puffing sides would burst. Art Hannold and John Rollins, Texas Big Bend ranchers, were back from the wilds of northern Mexico —home again after having been captured and held prisoner for nearly a week by the Mexican bandit Candalario and his band of outlaw's. In all, they had traveled 400 miles on horseback and had been gone for nearly two weeks. They had followed the trail of four head of horses stolen from the 50.000-acre Hannold ranch in the Big Bend country, the nation's last frontier. "We hadn't traveled more than twenty miles into Mexico until w'e came into a brush corral as suddenly as we had crossed the Rio Grande.” Rollins explained. "We didn't know w'hat it was all about until Candalario and his men. armed with pistols and rifles, had us covered.” Candalario orderpd the Americans to surrender their guns. This they refused to do, explaining that they had received permission from the Mexican authorities at Bouquil.las to carry arms. "Old Candalario argued a w'hilc with his men about whether we should be disarmed by force,” Rollins continued. "But they w'ould have had to kill us before w'e w'ould have given up our guns to a bunch like that. "Then Candalario said he would take us to Oland, to be tried for entering Mexico under arms. Doubted Their Word "Thais an offense you can be shot for under Mexican law unless you have obtained permission to enter the country with arms—but Candalario wouldn't believe we had obtained oral permission from the Mexican authorities at Bouquillas.” Despite the fact that it was almost as close to Bouquillas, Candalario decided to take the two Americans to Oland instead. The latter tow'n happens to be in the area that Candalario dominates. Nevertheless, the Mexican authorities at Oland refused to disarm the Americans and said they might go free to search fop their horses. "No sooner had the judge spoken than Candalario’s men came up with their guns,” Rollins related. We didn't know whether w'e w'eve to be shot on the spot or not, but in a moment Candalario said he was taking up to Ocampo, about 150 miles away.” Turned Over to Authorities En route, how'ever, the Mexican band turned them over to authorities of Piedritas with instructions to send them on to Ocampo. Eventually, the Americans reached Piedritas—and we were released by the authorities there almost at once. Mexican government authorities at Piedritas apparently sensed the w'hole plot. When they released Hannold and Rollins, they gave them a bodyguard to accompany them back to the Rio Grande, apparently not wishing to risk their recapture by Candalario and his band. The two Americans learned latqr that Juan Sada, store manager, and Francisco Lessardi, chief Mexican customs officer at Bouquillas, had

gone to Oland and interceded in their behalf. This doubtless had a lot to do w'ith the action of the court in re- j leasing them in a town where Candalario is powerful. The two Americans are safe again j on Texas soil, but there yet is trou- j ble in prospect, as the outwitted j Candalarios oath of vengeance on Art Hannold still is unfulfilled. Smarting under his defeat, he is expected by ranchers of the Big i Bend country to become more aggressive in his efforts to get revenge. If the bandit chief follows his custom of the past, he will remain; in hiding in the Palomas moun- j tains for a time and then suddenly sw'oop across the Rio Grande into! American territory again. Raids After Troops Leave Three raids across the border have been attributed to him since United States army troops w'ere removed j from Marfa, Tex., recently. But j w'hen Candalario returns, the Amer- j icans of the Big Bend country will be ready for him. “We had letters from all over the ! United States offering to help catch Candalario and bring my boy back home.” old man John Hannold said. "People everywhere read the story in the newspapers. ‘‘Two boys with a plane in St. Louis offered to fly down here and fight Candalario from the air. Another in Pittsburgh w’anted to lead an expedition into northern Mexico and captnire him. “But I reckon w r e folks here in the Big Bend will be able to take care of Candalario if he decides to come back again.” Frontiersmen of 1938 In Old Man Hannolds statement is the ring of the pioneeer—the pioneer who braved the dangers of the Indians to settle the Big Bend country a half century ago. He is typical of the hardy, silent men who live today on the nation's

last frontier. For years they have depended largely on their horses their guns, and themselves, and few’ of them ever have called for help in any situation. Today Candalario hides in the Palomas mountains, a virgin range that few people have entered. As long as he chooses to remain in this fastness, he will be safe from harm. But there are inducements that may bring him dow'n. just as other inducements have caused his raids in the past. In a few months Don Juan Sada of Bouquillas will be taking the rich silver ore from his mine in Del Careen range. Mexicans will be at work —and there will be pay rolls and silver to tempt a desperate band of mountain outlaws.
Contract Bridge
BY W. E. M KENNEY Secretary American Bridge League T OFTEN w'onder if there are not too many players w'ho depend upon mathematics too much in contract bridge. Some players add up the number of quick tricks that they locate in the combined two hands, and if they hold so many, they figure, they can make game, w'hile another definite figure tells them that they can make a slam. I have seen hands w'ith six quick tricks W'hich, produced only seven or eight playing tricks—and again I have seen hands with only tw'o or three quick tricks that W'ill produce game or even a Siam.

Far better than the mathematical percentages are the inferences to be gained from the bidding. Let us take the following hand. South, the dealer, opened the contracting with one diamond. While he has a hand strong in | quick tricks, and W’ith tenace po- : sitions, he can not bid a no trump, j as he holds a singleton. West passed, i and North made a one over one j forcing bid of one spade. East overcalled w’ith two hearts l —although it was an ideal spot for the negative double. After the two- i heart bid, South jumped to three spades. West supported his partner’s I

i There always will be inviting ! stores of provisions for hungry bani dits in these outposts on the last American frontier. Sleek herds of cattle on the ! American ranches along the border will continue to beckon cattle ; thieves. | And, as another possible induce- ; ment for a raid, will be Candalarios ! unfilled oath of revenge against Art Hannold. Next time Candalario may not attempt to have him killed by ! others.

j bid to four, and North made a free bid of four spades. With this information South went to six spades. nan EAST opened the king of hearts, which held the trick. He then shifted to the ten of diamonds, w'hich the declarer w'on w’ith the king. If the declarer could find the spades divided two-two, he knew that he w'as going to have no trouble in making his contract. How’ever, if they were not divided, where could he expect to find the three spades? Remember that West supported his partner to four hearts. What could he have to justify this bid? He does not hold the ace or king of clubs, the ace, king or queen of diamonds, the ace or king of spades, or the king of hearts. Therefore, it w’ould seem that j the only justification in his four- | heart bid w'as the fact that he originally held four or five hearts, ; and either a void or singleton spade. The declarer first should lay down his king of spades and then play a I small spade. When East plays a i small spade, the declarer should i take the finesse in dummy, which of course is good, and he now has the rest of the tricks, j (Copyright. 1933. bv NEA Service. Inc.)

CITY PLAYLOT TAKEN OVER BY HERD OF COWS Recreation Chief Can Turn Dairy Farmer With Little Trouble. A calamity feared by the city recreation department for several months finally has occurred, but not exactly in the manner expected, it appeared today. Ever since the pruning shears, slashed into the recreation budget 1 there have been dire predictions that quite a number of city play.grounds would "be given back to the Indians” or permitted to "go to the dogs.” Usurpation bv the canines, as a probability, has been succeeded,, however, by the actuality of the' city playground at Tenth and Ketchum streets, going into the hands, or rather, hoofs, of a herd of eight cow's. Sallee Receives Word Word of the successful raid was received by A. C. Sallee, superintendent of parks, in an anonymous communication from a taxpayer. Identity of the letter w'riter could be learned with little difficulty, if any point could be gained by doing so. Sallee pointed out. "The note contained a postscript 'Paid $39.18 last spring,’ evidently j referring to a tax payment,” Sallee ■ pointed out. “Any investigation, i w'hich necessarily would be confined to people w'ho paid taxes, naturally narrows the field considerably, judging from delinquency records.” According to the note received by Sallee, the cow's frequent the playground in lieu of a pasture with regularity, much to the dismay of the children, baseball players, and others more interested in dallying than dairying. Just what will be done about the situation remains undecided, al- j though Hugh (Wally) Middlesworth, city recreation director, has been appointed a one-man ways and { means committee by Sallee. Wally in a Pickle Wally admitted his perplexity at the new problem. His usual worry during the summer is that he wiil be required to enforce regulations I tending to distinguish between "modest” and "immodest” bathing attire of Indianapolis maidens. When last seen, he had decided to leave the solution to chance. A j quantity of small slips of paper had ! been prepared. They were to be | deposited in a hat. from w'hich one j w'ould be drawn. Possible plans in- j eluded: “Cali the police." “Send somebody else.” "Shoot the cow's.” “Move the playground.” “Write a congressman.” “Stage a rodeo.” “Have a bottle of beer.” “Have two bottles of beer.” “Let the cow's alone.” “Resign.” Boy Drowns in Wabash River By b tiitcd, Press COVINGTON.

July 19—The industrial codes, on which hearings j begin today, will be modified before they become effective, some of them drastically, if -he cotton textile [code is any indication. Instead of following the lines marked out by the President in that code, these new ones apparently are instruments for bargaining. I The prospect of delay, obvious as soon as the new’ codes began coming in. was one of the reasons leading the recovery administration to believe temporary blanket action on wages and hours is necestarv. In approving ihe cotton textile code. President Roosevelt made clear his determination to stop all holes through which expected benefits in ; the way of employment and in- | creased purchasing power might drain away.
