Seemed Party
Prospect 9Oss

In their large, spacious home,
Mr.. S. L. Billings, and his sister,
Mrs. Annie Tremble, were hosts to
one of the largest holiday parties
of the season. Chrysanthemums,
poinsettas, bells, everywhere. Tall
candles, the ceiling underlined
with red roping, green and silver
pines dotted here and there, and
a bright fireplace, made a beauti-
full setting.
Tables were set in four inter-
locking rooms, to serve 35 guests,
who began their merry-maling at

HOROSCOPE
WEDNESDAY, JUNE 10

1yAN EfbDAIs OShNS ~
Adverse aspects dominate to-
day which may be conducive to
restlessness and discomfort.
From the weather to the daily
occupation. nothing may be
right to the sensitive person
who will reflect the worlds
distress.
Heart and Home: Mental
tiles may be influenced by
planetary influences that en-
courage secrecy and even deceit.
In the family there may be lack
of frankness in dealing with
domestic problems. The young
may appear lazy when they
are really merely unable to en-
gage in occupations that they
like. As the season develops
unwise love affairs will be pre-
valent. The economic factor
will be overlooked by many who
enter into hasty marriage.
Business Affairs: The United
States Government will be
generous patron of merchants
and manufacturers. While in
dustry will be more or less re-
tarded by labor troubles, they
presage stimulation in produce
ton and distribution in all parts
of the country.
National Issues: Underneath
all the interests and activities
Of the season will be the per-
sistent fear of entrance into
war. The stars presage rapid
developments in Europe that
should spur the nation to pre-
paredness on scale greater
than has been contemplated.
Many dangers are indicated for
this greatly envied country.
Peace may be dishonorable as
well as honorable, the seers
declare.
International Affairs: As the
war in Europe continues IL will
become more apparent each
week that the people who are
asked to give up their lives are
reluctant to fight and that their
hearts were not in the strife.
For that reason there Is rea-
son for foreign nations to dread
what will happen II the United
States Is forced into the con-
flict, for in that case there will
be the self-determination that
assures victory.
Persons whose birthdate il is
have the augury Of year of
benefits of many sorts. Rela-
tons will be in close accord and
the elderly win be generous.
Children born on this day
probably will be clever. frank
and kindly. These subjects Of
The Twins may be extraordin-
srily talented and energetic,

P USE OF
THE PU BLIC
SOCIAL FREEDOM
LOST UNDER FASCISM

Editor, The Times: A recent
letter of Mr.. Robert Pearsall, in
the Times, says that "Fascism
comes as the result of the break
down of free-capitalism in its
present phase"
With this truth l do not disa-
gree; in fact / think that Mr..
Pearsall's letter was excellent
except for the following quota
ton: ut wins (fascism) because
1t is more efficient"
Fascism does not come solely
because 1t is more efficient, but
1t also comes because they who
have the power. maintain this
power by destroying the liberal
forces of free-capitalism. Thus
in one sense 1t Is more efficient,
but only because it is more eff
cient for the prolongation of that
economic system which has lost
its equilibrium. We cannot say
that it is more efficient for the
people, because in the advent of
fascism, private enterprise, free
speech, free thought and the free
press. are totally annihilated.
Despotism rules; and social free
dom is lost.
This concentration of power
has the effect of doing away
with the individual aspirations"
of the people. Beauty, music,
art. science, health and intelli-
gence, are principles which So
ciety has gained only through
the bitter struggle of man to
have freedom of self. We cruel
~ man for his portrayal of
the good" and then genera
lions later We become conscious
of our mistake and enshrine a
civilization with His Ideal.
Spinoza, the great Jewish phil
osopher, received the anathe-
matte curse from his church for
his belief in his own thought.
Years later he was referred TO
as the 'God-intoxicated man"
Stin later, the genius of his
thought was recognized and
statue was erected to his immor-
tally. It seems that man does
not recognize his gifts until they
are put in his hand. Thus he
opposes the good until il sue
cumbs him. Man has followed
the same path in all the arts
and sciences. The institutions of
education, of medicine. and the
liberalism of social economies,
are products of individual ex-
preston which found no haven
of truth until they found free
dom. In truth. progress and
prosperity come only to those
people who have the freedom TO
develop the human aspirations
which the self desires.
Therefore. it is foolish and IL
logical to say that fascism is
efficient. For that which pro-
notes prosperity for a few by
the payment of the life-hlood of
others. is not efficient. but is a
necessary" product of that
time when the people have lost
any and all power to help them
selves. With their civil liberties
destroyed. the people become
puppet subjects Of a political
machine which is efficient for
those in power. but which is
slavery and bloody hell for the
