| * CANADA INCREASES ( NUDITY PENALTIES Three-Year Prison Sentence Provided in Bill Aimed at Doukhobors. Bpecial Dispateh to The Star. OTTAWA, Ontatio, July 25.—Any member of the Doukhobor sect disrobing | In public and staging a nude parade with | other Doukhobors will go to prison for three years, according to an amendment to the criminal code punishing scanty attire_in general passed by the Cana- | dian House of Commons. Its prcmul- gation awaits Senate passage Led by W. K. Esling, Conservative member for West Kootenay, Doukhobor locality, several western members last night supported this provision included among amendments to the code sube mitted by Minister of Justice Hugh Guthrie, providing also for heavier penalties for chicken stealing, for cruel- ty to animals and for false advertise- ments. Fear Unintended Use. Other members, most of them from Eastern Canada, took the attitude that the provision was expressly aimed at fanatical Doukhobor sects, and that it placed machinery in the hands of en- forcement officers that might also affect chorus girls and bathing beaches. Mr. Esling assailed the Doukhobors mightily, charging them with having burned $50,000 worth of schools and halls during the last two years and with having become a menace to de- cent, law-abiding residents of Western Canada, referring to farmers residing near them. who had been forced to | move to other sections of the country in order that their children might not become degraded by Doukhobor parades and exhibitions. Skeptical of Effect. James S. Woodsworth, Labor member for Winnipeg North Center, took the at- titude that repressive measures had not affected the religious fanatical actions of the sects and that the present in- crease of imprisonment period would have no corrective effect. The offend- ing persons, he said, formed only a small section of the Doukhobor settlers, the majority being decent, quiet and Jaw-abiding, anxious to educate their children and be Canadians. On the other hand, H. H. Stevens, minister of trade and commerce, de- clared that for the last few years the offending sects had received treatment which had accomplished nothing ex- cept to encourage them in_their disre- gard for law and order. Patient con- sideration had been given them and the present law was not aimed at any one observing even common decency, he contended.

Next. the shoulders, arms and trunk are given to the men, while the legs go to the women. All this is sys- tematically carried out. The flesh of the white man is looked upon as a dainty morsel. These aboriginals are nomads with- out fixed homes. They have neither Louse nor fyrniture and possess little beyond their spears, boomerangs and battle-axes, which they always have at hand. They wear no ciothing except when they come to the mission.
