NUDISTS CONFER.
National Sun and Air Society Meets. SCENE BEHIND 20FT WALLS. LONDON, September 2. In a garden', surrounded by a 20ft fence, the first conference of the National Sun and Air Society was held at Finchlcy, London. The members, who ranged from elderly men to a girl aged four, included a nonconformist clergyman, solicitors, doctors and other professional men and one Japanese. The minority were women. The chairman, Mr. Hugh Shayler, in an address, said: "We are not freaks. Wo advocate the perfect equality of the sexes, of parties and of races. Free access to the sun and to the air confers enormous benefits, physical and mental." Later nude men and women wandered around the garden and the house, drank tea and entered into organised games.
