UOVVENA MAVN, OF CHICAGO, LECTURES BEFORE SHAKESPEARE SOCIETY Dr. Rowona Mann, of Chicago, last Saturday evening addressed members of the Freeport Shakespeare society and their guests on the subject of "Present-Day Trends In Philosophy." Her lecture was both clear and stimulating and aroused so much Interest and comment that Dr. Mann wns occupied In answering questions and adding further data for more than an hour after the lecture wos finished. At the Insistence of the audience, she gave also her Impressions of present conditions In Germany, where she lectured at the University of Jena until last October. In opening her talk on the philosophical thought of today, Dr.

Mann conceded that the subject is regarded as hard for the layman to understand. nut. she said that this was it- due to the faultiness of the Kcnernl federation of! explainers, than because of any In- clubs In our country; two-thirds of all the countries In the world are represented In the United States, Women's clubs exist In twenty for- ilgn countries. "Nine departments of work," continued the speaker, "arc Included In the federation, as follows: American home; American citizenship; fine arts; International relationship; education; public welfare; legislation; press and publicity and juniors. The last department to be organized was that of the American home, and Mrs.

Fowler considers It the most Important of all. She gave a brief history of Its organization In 1024 at the General Federation convention at Los Angeles, Calif. There are 125 sub-divisions of the department of work, headed by experts. Mrs. Fowler said: "The home Is l.he strength of the nation.

The three R's of the home arc: first, Religion; second, Rhythm or a sense of harmony; third, Risibility, or a sense of humor." Dealing with American cltlv.cn- Mrs. Fowler quoted Major General Parker as saying: "America will never seek a war with any country, nor will any country neck war with a prepared America." "Our duty Is to encourage loyalty for American Institutions," said Mrs. Fowler. She told of her New Year's greeting from Mrs. Poole, who said that the federation could begin a new year with three advantages (1) more money; (2) larger membership; (3) a keener realization of our Inter-dependence with the world at large.

Friendship Tour Aid to Peace Mrs. Fowler spoke of the world friendship tour as "an aid to peace, In which the general federation played a leading part; delegates visited many clubs in other countries. When the women of all lands understand each other there can be no more wars." The federation, Mrs. Fowler explained, is the largest organized group of women In the world today. The speaker said that, after the home and the church she placed the federation next.

"The general federation Is standing back of the homes of America and Is one of the great Influences for good in the world today." Mrs. G. S. Engelmann, chairman of the literature department, announced that next Saturday Dr. Charles Parker Connolly, of Rockford, will speak on "Mark Twain." Mrs.

Towslee announced an outstanding program sponsored by the art department; Ellenor Cook, of New York, will present "Art in Folk a costume recital. Tills will be an open meeting. Hostesses for Saturday were Mrs. P. H.

'Micro hri fow scvial activities at tho In looking back over the efforts of tho philosophers, from Socrates down, to explain the true meanings of life, the "highest good," and the universe about us, Dr.

Mann said that the philosophic thinkers of the present day differ totally In one respect from their forerunners. Whereas the older philosophers thought In abstract terms in trying to fit themselves and their surroundings into some satisfactory picture of the universe, the modern philosophers go straight to modern science and use the facts it has brought to light in developing their theory. 'Modern Science Revolutionizes Thinking The most Important thing modern has discovered, Dr. Mann said, Is the existence and nature of tho electron. Until a few years ago, the atom was considered the smallest, particle of the material that makes up the universe.

Now we know that within the atom Is the electron. What is It? That Is not so easy to define In the words at our disposal. II. is energy, It Is influence. Modern scientists know that the electron is not a dead thing; it Is full of activity; it is constantly moving.

How far docs its influence extend? It extends, in the case of every electron, to the outermost limits of tho univcr.se; In other words, infinitely far. The influence of the electron is like the ripple caused when a pebble Is dropped Into smooth water. It extends outward infinitely. After a while its presence cannot be noticed by our eyes any more. If our eyes were finer, we could see it.

That ripple after a while becomes negligible, but it never becomes zero, and the same may be said of the electron's influence. We are therefore living, Dr. Mann said, In a universe composed of electrons which are ceaselessly radiating Influence. Every part of ourselves lies within the field of Influence of all the electrons in the universe. The influence of these electrons is not noticed by us; we pay no attention to them.

Yet we are constantly submerged, bathed In their influence. The effect of any one of them may be negligible; the effect of the sum total of them makes our lives what they are. Thus Relativity Theory Arises Because of this scientific fact modern philosophers realize that we are not lonely We are "related" to everything else In the universe, in greater or less degree. With Einstein we speak of It as a universe of "relativity." Dr. Mann preferred to speak of It as a universe in which everything "interpenetrates" everything else.

It is an "Interpenetrated" universe, not one made up of isolated and non-related things. Dr. Mann then developed the idea that our own lives become fuller, moro valuable, Intrinsically more perfect If we receive as much as pas- sible of the endless stream of energy and Influences which constantly flow toward and about us. Some of this we take in through our five senses, with which we "feel" the things that surround us. To this we add the impressions of past "feels" stored up In our minds.

The moro wo get out of the universe of which we are a negligible part, tho more we realize the goal of modern philosophy. We can also shut ourselves away from these influences. We can prevent them from coming to us. This she termed "privation." Everywhere we see people whoso lives are degraded as a result of this "privation." Sometimes it Is deliberate. Sometimes it is caused by other poople, by our parents, by bad pro-natal influences.

To increa.se "interpenetration" and reduce the amount of "privation" she said are the ideals of a rational philosophy of "social reality." Speaks of Hitler Asked by her audience to tell her impressions of Hitler, she said his sway in Germany is due today to the discouragement of the Gorman people, the lack of leaders, the extreme ago of Hindenburg and the 1 loss outlook. She spoke of Hitler a.s a man of narrow experience, his only real trade being war. In government, his exiK'rience has been nil. His method of governing is by suppression of all that opposes him. He of Ruwlft and Poland are alike in their terroristic methods.

One is watched, followed, listened to. One's hotiae may be entered at any time. Absolute rights no longer exlat. The possibility of such a dictatorship In America, Dr. Mann regarded aa unthinkable.

She said the liberal democracy In America, In England, and also In France, represents the best and most advanced government the world can show. It may be far from perfect, but It presents more opportunity. It gives fair treatment to minorities. She thinks the dictatorships and the exaggerated nationalism of Europe today will Involve the nations in disastrous war, unless something else averts It.

A rumor has been circulated that some of these men are among those who gave out false statements in answer to questions asked when filling their applications. A local official in commenting on this phase of the matter today said: "While it may be true that there was some misrepresentation of facts in early registrations, the method of registration has since been changed, as the prime essential in beginning the work locally was to get the men on the Job.

"Now that it becomes necessary to take from the rolls those in excess of the number allowed under the quota, the CWA re-employment service, county and city agencies and relief workers have been collaborating in using what in their best judgment appears to be the selection of men to be retained under this ruling. This is not to be construed to mean that because a man happens to be in the list of those laid off under the cutting down of the quota, that he is among those who have made misrepresentation regarding his condition of employment, service or dependents in the earlier stages of registration. Many changes were made recently when it had been ascertained by local officials that other men were more qualified or entitled to work."

Shaw, of the supreme court of Illinois, addressed Freeport Rotary club as guest speaker today at a meeting held at noon at Hotel Freeport, giving a comprehensive outline of the many problems which confront the legal profession, the manner In which these contingencies often must be met, explaining legal practices and delivering what might be termed an answer to a criticism directed against the men of the law. "It ifl quite common," he said, "to hear some Ignorant person make a careless remark to the general effect that all lawyers, as a class, are lacking In veracity and ordinary honesty." In presenting his views to his audience Justice Shaw said, in part: "There are very few people in the world, outside of the legal profession itself, who have more than a vague Idea about the system of laws under which they live. There are even many within the profession who fall to make any particular headway by reason of the same lack of understanding. "That the mere learning of a lot of rules, dependence upon tricks, or sharp practices, Is all the lawyer needs, is often a common belief. There are many who believe that this is all that is necessary to master the legal profession, when, on the contrary, law is quite definitely a science and Is coming more and more to be so recognized by modern writers.

"It is a science of human relations that embodies a continuing research as to fundamental principles, and as a whole science we are able by 11 to determine where one man's rights begin and another man's rights end; by it we give to one citizen that which is his, without taking from another that which belongs to him; by It we judge the transgressor and measure out his punishment to him. with fairness and due observance of his constitutional rights." Likens Law to Growing Tree "The science of law," Justice Shaw stated, "is no more stationary than any other science; and while growing, it always grows along the straight lines of those.fundamental principles which have proved true through the ages, and which are inherent in any well-ordered society. Thus it is true that as new lines of thought develop, and as new activities of human beings come into existence and require the tree of law Is constantly putting out new branches and twigs. Always, however, those new branches are directly connected with the fundamental principles from which they draw their only life and vitality." "A legally-trained mind," said Justice Shaw, "knowing all the facts and surrounding circumstances, can by application of the principles of the science of jurisprudence, determine what is right and what is wrong, just as a trained physician after careful analysis of symptoms, can accurately diagnose the ailments of his patient. Lawyer Faithful to Trust "Members of the legal profession," said the speaker, "are placed in positions of trust and confidence, in which, almost without exception, they fulfill all expectations.

Too long has the profession accepted Indignities or facetious remarks reflecting upon the integrity of the members of the profession, because there has been no popular occasion for fighting back. "I have never yet known of, or even heard of, an authentic case in which a lawyer betrayed his client's secrets or intentionally lost a case in court; and if there is such a case I would like to hear of it. Deepest secrete can be disclosed in full to a lawyer and will be regarded ns such. "There are," said Justice Shaw, "moral failures in the profession, as there are in any other, but the profession itself does its own pruning, with the result that the harsh penalty of disbarment, which Ls professional death, swiftly follows any serious breach of trust." In closing Justice Shaw stated that "it is lime the people as a whole gained a truer view of the legal profession, which is a necessary and useful science, and which, if all the law books in the world were to be destroyed, the great body of men comprising the legal profession could, by their knowledge and experience, restore through a continuation of the application of those fundamental principles of justice which nre known to and understood by all trained practioners, Judges, and teachers of the law."

COMMITTEE IS APPOINTED TO SOLICIT FUNDS FOR' PROPOSED LOCAL AIRPORT Project Considered At Meeting of Chamber of Commerce Directors At a meeting of the board of directors of the Freeport chamber of commerce held this afternoon the question of securing a local airport through CWA allocation was considered. It was stated by those who presented facts and figures for the consideration of the directors that the best available tract of land accessible to this city would be the field now used for such purposes, lying four miles east of the city, adjacent to the Hl-Lo Aviation club. Forty-six acres are available and an additional ten acres will be needed, on the north and west sides of the tract, meet the landing specifications of a field 500 feet in width by 1,800 feet in length. No lights would be required, it was stated, under present conditions, as the field would be one under which night flying would not be developed for several years to come. A lease of this ground would cost $300 annually, and the project would have to be underwritten for a 5-year period in order to secure a CWA iJ- locatlon of funds.

No hangar would be necessary at present. Owners of ships would be required to pay $50 yearly for rental of space for their planes and hangar space would be built at the expense of the ship owners or their pilots. It was pointed out that Freeport would be near the route of the Transcontinental line which will pass over Dixon, and also the North West Airways at Monroe. New plans which the government Is assisting in marketing will be sold at $750 and would, it was stated, soon prove an Incentive toward stimulating aviation. The federal grant of funds which could be secured, provided the project could be underwritten for the sum of $1,500 to Insure a 5-year carrying on of the air program, would be spent 80 per cent for labor and 20 per cent for materials.

Drainage, grading and other field alteration problems it was stated would constitute the labor part of the project. A committee will be named to investigate the underwriting of the project and make a report as to progress in securing the necessary funds. WILKEY FORBIDS SUNDAY DANCING IN PLACES WHERE BEER, LIQUOR, IS SOLD Chief of Police A. H. Wilkey experienced a busy Sunday, as a result of demands from a number of local places where liquor and beer are served, that dancing be allowed on Sunday.

Chief Wilkey informed all such owners that under no circumstances would they be permitted to have dancing. "Because New Year's eve chanced to come on Sunday night and regulations were relaxed somewhat on account of the holiday, some of these persons seem to think that they should be allowed to make a regular practice of Sunday niglit dancing," said Wilkey. "I will close any such place where a violation is brought to my notice if proper complaint is made. While there are many owners who do not desire this special privilege, others seem to think they should be allowed to do as they please. There are several well regulated places outside the city limits where dancing can be enjoyed on Sunday, and as these are lawfully permitted to operate no one need be deprived of Sunday dancing.

But in places where liquor or beer is sold within the city limits dancing will not be tolerated on Sunday, If it Is within my power to stop it." MR, AND MRS, W.TKBYDEH RECEIVE WORD OF SAFETY OF SON AND FAMILY IN GLENDALE Word was received this morninpr by Mr. and. Mrs. W. R.
