Uncommon Sense
Harness Your Curiosity
BY JOHN BLAKE

CHILDREN can be taught more easily
than adults because their curiosity
greater. Discover what they are In

su''y In making beginning with their
education.
d.he ING child with talent for music or
having makes rapid progress in these
tanches because he Is naturally curious
- fortunately, curiosity is not limited
" talent. All children have IL in a
rsaS very marked degree. And for that
'U" all children learn easily.
N we grow, our curiosity Is likely

wa that we are soon prone to think

within your power to ask questions OF
the ablest men and women in the
world, living and dead, by reading their
books.
CURIOSITY is great asset. The
~ trouble with most people IS that
they have far too little Of the right
sort of It. They are eager to know
how much salary their neighbor Is re-
ceiving, and whether he gets along with
his wife--matters which are really Of
no interest to them.
If they were equally curious about
how the problems that confront the
world are being settlcd-if, indeed, they
are being settled-and how thoughtful
people are developing the resources OF
their nation, they would be better Off.
A powerful and we'll directed curl
oslty will give any man or any woman
an excellent education, whether in COL
lege or out Of it.
1t will inspire him with desire to
know the things that are worth know
ing--the facts of history, geography,
science. The answers to most of the
questions that rise to your lips are to
be found, II you are persistent about
looking for them.
VOU will never solve the riddle Of the
l. universe. You will always find
stone walls you cannot pass. But you
will stock your mind with useful
knowledge, and you will find life much
more worth living II you constantly
employ an intelligent curiosity.

Legion Adopts Resolutions
Agar Organization
County Posts to Act

SOUTH AMBOY, Dec. S.-The TO-
cal american Legion post at its get
together meeting last night took
what Is claimed to be the initiative
in American Legion circles regard
ing the Ku Klux Khan. Louis Rosen-
berg brought the matter to the atten.
ton of the post members, decrylng
the principles of that organization.
The move which places Luke A.
Lovely Post on record as opposing
in every way the organization was
met with instant approval by those
an attendance. A motion to have
q committee Immediately draw up
n suitable resolution for adoption,
demanding the local posts delegates
b the county convention on Saturday
afternoon to be held at Piscataway,
10 bring the matter to hat body for
hction. was carried.
The resolution follows:
Whereas, The American Legion is
h organization based on principles
Of o hundred per cent American
hm to foster and to perpetuate those
principles of liberty, justice and
pQuality for which American patriots
sacrificed their lives and their for
tunes. and
Whereas. We believe IN civil and
DELICIOUS liberty, in freedom of
speech and freedom of the press
hnd in the vital principle that Amer
bca is q great government by consent
OF the governed and not to be ruled
or ravaged by any individual or band
Of individuals who assume their
right to take into their own hands
fhe carrying out of their own selfish
and bigoted ideas of government
mi Justice; therefore, be Il
Resolved, That Luke A. Lovely
Post No. 62, American Legion, in
carrying out a debt that it owes to
ats country and to those comrades
Of all creeds and faiths who served
with them under the colors and of
those who made the supreme sacri-
flee for the union they loved does
hereby denounce the tactics employ
ed by the so-called Ku Klux Khan in
The carrying out of its outrages most
" under cover of night and mask.
I'm the name of that thing they
falsely proclaim to be 100 per CEN
Americanism.
.And be 1t further resolved; that,
. copy of this resolution be pre-
scented at the coming convention of
the Middlesex County American
Legion and that body be requested
to urge that the state and national
legion go on record as opposing the
Ku Klux Khan or similar organiza-
lions, as being opposed to those
great principals upon which the fu-
ture four organizations and
country depends.
"(Signed) LOUIS ROSENBERG,
michael f. NAGLE,
IN. LEE STULTS."
One OF the recognized leaders of
the post Immediately upon following
the adoption of the resolution told
of having been approached by an
organizer who gave him a pamphlet
urging him at the anne time to
think the matter over.
Already tbs action Of the post last
night is meeting with approval on
the part of the people of the city.
with the 1egionnaires apparently
alert for any mere sign of this
masked body's activities, paves the
way for the other organizations OF
khe city to follow in their footsteps.

delegated to attend the county or

the speaker. He spoke on the mem
bership drive recently inaugurated
by Raymond White, Of Highland
Park who is state chairman OF the
membership committee. Kleckner
said he believed that this was not
the time for such a drive, adding
that if he had anything to do with
the plans they would be deferred
to a later date. The speaker pre-
dicted that the county affairs would
go ahead next year, if within his
power to move them forward.
Kleckner made a decided hit
with the local post. His remarks
were greeted with a hearty demon
stration. Commander John Con-
logue stated that the local post was
pledged to no candidate since the
delegates were instructed to vote
for the mar they in their judgment
was best suited for the position. II
the greeting Kleckner received in
South Amboy by his fellow COM
rades Is any indication of the in
clinatlon of their hearts-Kleckner
will be supported by Luke A. Lovely
Post.

man from Perth Amboy, who has
