BOXING PREACHER AGAIN
TRIES TO QUIT; REFUSED
Kansas Paris, as Uusual, Decides TO
Overlook His Sporting
PrOcliyitieS.

Cahute, Kan The Rev. Carl A.
Blackman's annual resignation again
has been rejected by the congregation
of the Christian church of Chanute.
One year, regularly, since the war,
the Rev. Mr.. Blackman has given his
Pensioners the choice of acceptin his
advocacy of boxing, dancing and pool,
or hiring a new pastor. While the vote
each year has been heavily in his favor
it is by no means unanimous.
You will find me in the boxing ring,
the dance halls, the lodge halls, the
pool halls, perhaps in the alleys, or
wherever men congregate, if | con-
tinue to preach to the Christian church
of Chanute," was the ultimatum con-
tanned in the minister's recent resigna-
ton.
Not only was the resignation reject
ed--the congregation voted its pastor
an increase in salary. This he refused
to accept, declaring he was amply paid,
an dthat he earns something in addi-
ton by refereeing boxing bouts. He
makes no secret of the fact. Further
more, he declares he has double
reason for enhancing his earning ca
pacoity,"
Twins recently came to our house"
he said. "If some persons is to be paid
for refereeing, and do the work sat
isfactorily, | ought to have the money
to help support those twins"
His services as referee are today
in much demand in Kansas, Missouri
and Oklahoma. His presence in the
ring is regarded as guarantee of a
clean fight His influence in making
boxing a popular sport has been felt
throughout this section.
1t was while he was chaplain of the
18th Infantry Of the 35th Division in
France that the Rev. Mr.. Blackman be-
came a devotee of the fistic game. He
was known as "the fighting parson of
the S5th," and Justly so, for he not
only supervised but engaged in many
boxing bouts.
In his own church the Chanute min
lister has put into practice his theory

Letter:
by LucyJeanneR Price

New York-We have heard so much
about the congested blocks of the low
er east side and the pathos of child
hood there that It is rather startling
to get statistics on it. The New York
City Health department has Just an
nounced its findings that the same
congested lower east side is the
healthiest part Of town. There is found
the lowest mortality rate in the city;
while the death rate in one section in
which a great many of New York
wealthy people have their homes is
more than double that of this humble
section. 1t pretty well upsets long
established theories on the relations Of
congestion, poverty and death rate.
But there you are! One reason ascrib-
ed by physicians is the lack Of per-
sonal care which many of the well-to-
do mothers give their children.

1t isn't just pose on the part Of the

pedestrians who passed through GER
tain cross street were interested to see
the policeman standing in the rain
while his horse was comfortably locat-
cd on the sidewalk under an awning.

Every week in some restaurant some

Groups Of them made agreements

the plans were for dinner in New York
on a settled date. They have scattered
all over the country now, but they
