A Few Reflections on
The ''NeW Freedom
BY b. A. Hob legard. Of Weston.

ers, furbelows and the pantelletted ad-
vocates Of the bifurcation Of women.
mingle in and augment the riot and
saturnalia of color and tumult. An
hysterical gynocracy mines male man
ners. Contumelions lips are curled at
courtIy conventions. Social lines
which had better be tautened, have
become flaccid. Lights on the hearth
stone are fading. The vestals have
forsaken their lamps and their affairs
for the hectic pleasures Of secular al
lurements. The holy hearth of home
is a wastrel, where red embers have
changed to gray and the diadem OF
the home circle has become as set
with the sickly wraiths Of a joyous
past.
Mothers OF the reigning generation
are turning their eyes from the nurs-
cry, the kitchen and the quiet sitting
room to the outside for glimpse OF
the New Freedom. The home making
instincts Of the mothers Of yesteryear,
their synthetic maternal natures, con-
yerging in the traditions Of home, all
engrossing. all sufficing, are now un-
making. The nightshade Of the falla-
cious New Freedom is stealing down
like star spangled volcanic dust.
Cataclysmic Influences working subtly
and militantly, too. through traits of
innate vanity are fashioning a new
race Of rebellious feminine doctrin-
aries, who are finding the sacred du-
ties Of home and their arrogated serv-
ices OF the forum to be incompat-
ible and antipodial, and fanatically
loath to abandon the assumed regime
for the old and natural estate, they fran
tically continue their rush into stern
er places, a disheveled spectacle of
humor and pathos with convulsive
bambinos clinging helplessly to their
mired skirts.
These ingenious reflections on the
New Freedom, the twin sister OF chaos,
conclude that the same is an indie
feasible and irreconciliable heresy de-
creed by nature in the primodial es-
tablishment of the eternal barriers Of
sex. Natures laws can never be
abridged by the statutes Of man. The
chasm OF gender is normal subdi-
vision spanned only by instinct and
convention. On the one side waves
the roof tree, on the other lies the &C
tive world Of men. To iterate the age
old proyerb, "a woman's place is in
the home"

When the fulvid banners foated
down Fifth avenue, New York, and
Pennsylvania avenue, Washington,
over the plumed and coiffed heads of
the marching suffragists in October
in proclamation of their cause to the
world, we began to hear calculations
of the latest slogan. THE New Free
dom" was its device and was framed
by hundreds Of beauteous lips. And
the shibboleth heralded the putative
dawn. of the enfranchisement Of wom-
an and, in collateral heedlessness, her
Acknowledgement from domesticity.
The militant slogan became a chal-

All the impetuosity and mad ca

vid banner over the sleeping Ulysses
while the hashesh Of the New Free
dom weaves the wrap and wool Of
his dreams. Mother Goose Of en-
chanted legend, dazzles the fancy OF
children as the benign mistress OF
floccillation. But muliebrlty, seeking
entrance to the Australian booth,
would invoke revisitation OF the gla-
cial age by a Noachian flood OF bal
lots to deluge our government and
change our electors into gibbering
Eskimos. The sororal New Freedom

and neuresthentic deficiency" The
garish but sinister lure Of the so dis

for temporizing and experimentation,

'FEW FIRES DUE TO SPIES,
DECLARE INSURANCE MEN
Overworking Of Plants and
Green Hands Chief Causes
They Think.

NEW YORK, Jan. S.-officers OF
many fire insurance companies 10 net
believe all the stories they hear and
read these days that the numerous
fires and explosions in plants. manu-
featuring war supplies are attsibl-
table to German spies. In fact, tleT
say that the majority Of these fires
are due TO conditions arising from
pushing work in the plants day and
night and to the employment OF green
hands.
Furthermore, insurance men are be-
ing forced to the conclusion that they
should be paid for the additional risk
in insuring such plants in which the
physical hazards have been so greatly
increased. Various companies are con-
sidering the ACCESSIBILITY OF doing
something in this direction. but thus
far no plan has presented itself that
has appealed to all
Henry Evans, president Of the Con-
tinental Insurance Company said:
81 believe that the great majority
Of the fires in munitions factories and
in other plants where war supplies are
being made have been due TO over
crowding, rushing of work and to
green hands, and not due to the So
called German spy. Experience has
taught that whenever there has been
an industrial boom with factories be-
ing worked under great pressure day
and night fire risks are always in
creased. ] think that we should be
paid higher rate under the circum-
stances"
Frederick c. Buswill, vice presi-
dent of the Home Insurance Com
pany, expressed a like opinion as to
war plant fire causes.
81 wish we could get paid for the
additional physical hazard by reason
of the operation Of these plants at
high pressure and the accompanying
conditions he said.
Alfred NJ. Best, president OF the Al
fred NJ. Best Company, said there was
good reason for the belief that some
insurance companies are getting wary
about writing fire policies upon plants
manufacturing any kind of war sup
plies for the Allies. He added that
the president Of a big fire insurance
company had informed him many COM
panies didn't hold so-called spies re-
sponsible, but rather blamed the
causes upon conditions under which
the plants are being operated.
1t is understood that firms wishing
to protect themselves against loss
from explosions, malicious damage or
sabotage have been obliged to go to
the London Lloyds, owing to the fact
that since the war began companies
in this country have not written such
insurance. This necessitates a trip
Of a representative Of the insuring
concern to London, because of a state
law making 1t impossible for them to
deal through brokers.
Many owners Of munition and other
war supply making plants who never
insured before have taken out fire in
surance and others have increased
their policies. Many Of the compa-
MES have continued Insurance already
written but have refused to deal with
concerns not known to them because
of the great risks.
