"SHOW ME-"
SAYS YOUTH
Elk Congressman Points
Dangers OF Ignorance of
Today's Conditions.
TALKS TO KNIGHTS

"Show me-" says the modern miss
and youth, according to Knights of
Columbus Vice Supreme Master Mich
ael K. Reilly of Fond du Lac, who ad-
dressed the Kenosha council on Tues
day night Mr.. Reilly, better known
to most people as Congressman
Reilly, is present on the state lecture
platform for the Knights of Column
bus, outlining the relationship be-
tween Religion and Good Citizen
ship"
To-day the young people ask, why
am | Catholic, or why am l Pro-
testant? they don't accept their faith
blindly because it was that of their
ancestors" Mr.. Reilly exclaimed. "We
must awake to the situation and be
prepared to answer questions intelli-
gently, not only religious questions
but worldwide current event ques-
tions. Just what is to be done with
our young people of today at pres
emit is agitated by only few educat-
ors and social welfare workers but it
is one which should be concern of
the great mass of the adult popula-
ton. We are INDECENT and think that
things will adjust themselves but in
reality it is problem which needs
concentrated attention"
Speaking particularly of religion
Mr.. Reilly declared, "The Ku Klux
Khan is blessing in disguise. 1t has
awakened people to the perilous con-
ditions of the day. The question of
the future will not be one of fighting
the Ku Klux Khan but of answering
the question, IS there a God?' and it
behooves US to have ready an answer
to the question"
Mr.. Reilly's address was given fol-
lowing a business session Of the coun-
Gil. There was further discussion of
building plans but nothing definite
was outlined for announcement. A de-
lightful social hour, during which
refreshments were served, concluded
the meeting.

CALDWELL ENTERTAINs.
Lecture Presents the Cause of Nature,
Before Audience-Court.

OSAUIC Auu1GltCS"OOuTts
The lecture on Birds, Trees, and
Flowers" given at the Park Avenue
M. E. church last evening by Guy c..
Caldwell, proved as enchanting as a
fairy wand to the audience, who lis
tened spell-bound to the clever songs
and bird-calls reproduced by the lee
turer. Several beautiful stereoptican
views of his subjects were introduced
by Mr. Caldwell as illustrations for
his talk.
He made a special plea for the pre-
servation of the beautiful things in
Nature, stressing the destruction of
birds by cats, and of wild-fowers by
careless humans. "Some states" he
said, ''such as Massachusetts, have
legislated to prevent the destruction
of their wildfowers, especially the
trailing arbutus, and the May flower.
During his lecture, Mr.. Caldwell
gave several clever performances on
a ukelele, of southern dance music
and melodies. One of the most inter
esting was a rendition of ''The Mock
ing Bird" in which he introduced
several different bird calls in truly
remarkable style.
