On the theory that man was cre- waves = EADY TO WEAR Clones? 7} CLOTHIERS WOULD MAKE A BARE LIVING ated to live in an unciothed state and that conventions of today are “un- healthy and unnatural,” Dr. Pierre Vachet, professor of the School of Psychology and well known writer on sex problems, has given his whole- hearted support to the nature wor- shipers. Therein, he says, lies health, Strength and freedom of body and mind. To the wearing of clothes he claims to be able to trace most of the ills of mankind today in its soctal struggle. Supporting Dr. Vachet is M. K. de Mongoet, another prominent pili in this revolutionary movement. Writ- ing in a magazine of the movement here, he says: : “One of the causes of our lack of equilibrium, of the evils that ravage humanity of today and of degeneracy is the sex problem. It makes young men old, shatters lives and hardens the heart so that simple joys are no longer appreci: It destroys in man his independence and makes him a slave to himself and others around “How can normal education be hap- pily created if we condemn the prac- Bridge for a Dime | But Must Move It | > > Houston, Tex., April 20.—(7)—Rod- eriek J.

Even France Is Shocked by Growth Of Unclothed ‘Back-to-Nature’ Cult tice of nudity which kills sensual jcuriosity and suppresses exaggerated imagination excited by the half-mys- tery which veils the human body? “Each time that man breaks the riatural laws that governs the uni- verse he commits a crime against hu- manity,” he concludes, and infers that "yee You Gong =~ YES, "Haypy ts WE ATING ei ane $ Wear < the wearing of clothes is one of these violations. “Yet,” he says, “it is a subject upon which most people will not allow themselves to meditate.” Dr. Vachet is not one of these. He says the sensation of shame in the presence of nudity is‘an artificial im- pression acquired through long years of avatism and strengthened in the course of centuries of civilization. “A distinct evolution is developing in morals and practices pertaining to them,” said Dr. Vachet in advocating community life in the nude. “The most elementary logic seems to con- firm this conception of society. We were created to live nude. In olden times robes were first worn only by the rich, while the common people went about practically unclothed and young men and women were proud to display harmonious bodies which they had developed by good physical exer- cise. In our day many savages live practically without clothing. Nudity WITHEOLOOAYS ONLY THE RICH WORE ROBES is as truly the state of nature as it is the proof of physiology.” Dr. Vachet would prescribe suitable vesture for business and other every- day activities, but he laments that on fashionable beaches holiday makers do not go far enough in wearing ab- breviated bathing suits. He has kind words for the modern woman whose health, he says, has been greatly im- proved by her freedom of movement and absence of heavy underclothing, but he feels that her emancipation is not yet complete.
