FIRST TARZAN: STORY OF HOAX Women Kept THAT TRICKED THE

WORLD

"Back To Nature" For A Fortune

JOE KNOWLES, of Seaview, Washington, is one of the big attractions on the Pacific coast this summer.

Joe Knowles won fame first as the man who went back to nature naked and lived in the wilds by his bare landa.

Later he became more famous as one of the biggest hoaxers the world has known.

200,000

To-day, Joe Knowles lives, appro- priately, near Cape Disappointment, almost alone with the Nature which put him on the front pages. Twenty-Ave years ngʊ people at Boston broke through police cordons to cheer him.

Women fought to kiss him, and feel his biceps.

IN WILD FOREST Preachers told their congregations he was he John the Baptist,

On the day Joe was dressed only in a bearskin and was armed ke Hercules, with man-size club.

Two months before his Boston res walked ception Joe Knowler had Into the wild forests of Maine, naked except for a toincloth,

He had announced to the world that he was going back to nature.

He was going to live alone in the wilderness, finding food and shelter by his own elemental strength and cunning.

He also announced that he would keep in touch with the world, by scratching a diury on a piece of birch bark and leaving it under a tree stump for a trapper to pick up.

The trapper would duly forward the birch bark record to a Boston newspaper.

Breathlessly the world waited for the outcome of the adventure. The birch bark diaries were found... and published.

The world learned how Nature Man had it his fire with sticks, bullt insella lean-to, hud caught fish with his hands, run down a deer and strangled it.

They read how Nature Man met a bent.

CAUGHT BY TRAPPER Nature Man clubbed the beast to death, skinned it, and wore the skin as a trophy and his unly covering.

That was the story of Joe Knowles, the Nature man.... but the story Isn't complete. The rest of it be- longs to Michael McKeogh, now a civil servant in Boston.

Way back in 1912 Michael was a free lance newspaperman with a load |

of ideas.

Police officers and a doctor who entered a house in Minnis Road, Birchington (Kent), recently, were the first men to cross the threshold since 1907.

Finally, I do not think that advice which John Blunt offers In the last paragraph of his article is likely to be followed by Chinese firms at this stage, particularly in view of the fact that it is common knowledge that the majority of forelyn Arms in Hongkong are nowadays doing their very level best to lower the scule of wages to a point equal to, if below, that pald by Chinese firms for uneducated and unskilled labourers.
