THRILL HUNTERS ARE BARRED AT NUDIST CAMPS Red Tape Must Be Unwound Before Applicant Can Become Member. A grr; view of the tatonUhlng growth of the nudMt ir.o ement m -he um>d 3tatet :* cor.’air.cd lr. 'he following arMcle. the !at of three written for The Tinwa BY PAIX HARRISON XE.\ Senire Writer NEW YORK, July 20—In everincreasing numbers, sun-worshippers are converging on secluded sylvan spots this summer, and on the shores of protected lakes to dofl their clothes and luxuriate in nakedness Thousands of them in the vicinity of New York alone are becoming converts to nudism. And ail kinds of people :lv-v are. too—parents and their children, bachelors, spinsters, college students, clergymen, clerks, professors, stenographers. Some are fanatics, some faddists, but collectively they are part of anew and sensational sociel phenomenon The organized nudist movement in America is about three year. old. But stealth and caution cloaked its earliest life. Secrecy surrounded the identities of its followers and the locations of their meeting places. Nudists were the targets of written and cartooned ridicule—and of enthusiastic raids by police.
Movement Is Growing This year, though, interference has lessened. Reformers are vigilant. bu inactive. Many reputable • people no longer hesitate to express sympathy with nudist ideas. A nudist movie is being released in some states. A nudist magazine is bieng sold in nearly a hundred cities. And in it are openly listed the larger nudist organizations now existing in nine states. For all that, considerable reticence and timidity remain. The American League for Physical Culture. largest and oldest of the groups, has only a post office box for a New York address and has asked this reporter not to divoulge the location of its summer camp So. in fact, have the American Oymnosophical Association (which does have an office in Manhattan), the Olympian League, and the Spartan Society. These organizations maintain outdoor resorts with the knowledge and. indeed, the protection of police. But they fear publicity might result in formal complaints which would force authorities to act against them Red Tape Faced Joining a nudist league is a rela- * tively simple matter for the average sun-seeker, but takes weeks to consummate. Take the Gymnosophical Association, for example. A letter to the secretary. Miss Ruth Winkler, brings information regard-

We have sold a surprising number of sets of Miller Geared-to-the-Road Tires to motorists whose present tires are still in fairly good shape. They are buying new tires now, putting them away or having us store them until needed. Os course, if you are willing to pay higher prices later, well and good, but if you believe that a dollar saved is a dollar earned, buy your tires now. We will be glad to arrange a convenient method of payment. a m a Chicago Judge tells objector that nude dancers on the Streets of Paris at the World’s Fair is nobody’s business.

ing the group's activities and its rates. After that comes an appointment for a personal interview, and a membership application form. The latter calls for considerable personal and family data, must bo accompanied by the applicant's photograph, and by written consent of the applicant's wife, husband, fiance, or fiancee, provided he or she does not wish to join. Miss Winkler does most of the interviewing for the association, and rejects about 60 per cent of the aspirants. 'A few pertinent questions, she says. usuklly serve to unmask the abnormal person, the Peeping Tom. and the thrill and curiosity seeker. The Gymnosophical Association has leased an eleven-acre camp in the foothills of the Catskills, and recently has acquired another farm, of sixty acres, nearer the city. Quarters at these places consist either of a folding bed in a dormitory (with separate buildings for mep and women > or a private tent sheltering tw s o folding beds. Tents rent for $6 a week a person, dormitory’ accommodations for S3 a week. Meals furnished for sl2 a week include most three times a dav, for this group, unlike some others, is not vegetarian. The American League is buying a farm in New Jersey. It has been visited and approved by the police chief, one of whose troopers belongs to another nudist group. A permanent resident of the camp has been deputized by the countv sheriff so that he can arrest trespassing sightseers. Friends are suggesting that the deputy have a star tatooed on his chest. In all, there are nine nudist organizations either practicing or be-

ing formed in the New York area. Also, there is a so-called international nudist conference, with offices in Manhattan, which claims to represent nudist leagues and groups and the movement generally in North America. It offers its services in the forming of new clubs, but has done little thus far toward co-or-dinating those now operating. In fact, at this writing, it does not even know how many there are of the latter, although one of Its advertisements declares that membership in the conference “secures entrance to a number of nudist camps throughout the country.” The conference was founded by Dr. Henry Strong Huntington, a former Presbyterian minister, and Dr. Ilsley Boone, a former Baptist minister. Os all the nudist camps there is the least secrecy, whispering and hocus-pocus connected with the Out-of-Door Club. Its director is a young woman author. Miss Jan Gay. who wrote the book called “On Going Naked.” The farm Is about seven miles northwest of Highland. N. Y., and Miss Gay personally interviews prospective guests before they are admitted there.

GEOLOGISTS OF 22 NATIONS TO MASS IN U. S. International Congress to Be Opened July 22 in Capitol. Pa Science Service Washington soon will be the scene • of an international conference that will have little difficulty in getting down to earth. For it is the sixteenth session of the International Geological Congress, meeting from July 22 to 29. attracting the earth sciences leaders of some twenty-five civilized countries. Political and economic leaders may be discussing in London monetary gold and silver and how to remake the economic boundaries that they have erected on the face of the earth, but the geologists will be concerned with even more basic questions: Problems Are Listed The measurement of geologic time !
and the determination of the age of the various layers of the earth. The method of formation of the metallic deposits that men mine. The earth forming processes in arid regions. Fossil man and the animals that lived with him. Mountain building. The geology of petroleum. Copper resources of the world. These are some of the special topics upon which papers will be read at this International Geological Congress. Excursions Scheduled Reading and discussing papers in Washington is not the whole program of the congress, for the foreign visitors are being shown America and its geology. Over a dozen excursions are scheduled and two of these will extend across tie whole continent and occupy a month. Shorter trips to historic geological spots in eastern United Spates have been in progress during s he fortnight before the congress convenes. Although this is only the second meeting of the congress in the United States, the idea for the holding of an international geological congress arose out of the famous 1876 centennial exposition at Philadelphia. James Hall, the famous New York geologist, was president of the founders’ committee that organized the movement, and England was represented by the famous Thomas Henry Huxley. Uniformity Is Needed International gatherings in science, as in all human activities, are useful in solidifying ideas and revealing similarities and differences. Significant to all such standardization attempts is a statement maae at the first of the international geological congresses. It was explained that the need was felt for mutual agreement on geologic classification and nomenclature, but wisely it was observed that "we can not invoke here the law of numbers; no majority can impose convictions which the sense of truth alone can bring about.”
