Pastor Employs Boxers and
Dancer to Entertain People

"mountebank, and utterly devoid OF
true religious instincts. Coincidental-
", there was sudden and general
condemnation of "ballyhoo" methods
on the part Of all ministers-includ-
ing some that are strongest in criti-
cism of the Oakland clergymen in
future efforts to fill vacant pews.
Throughout the storm of criticism,
DR.. Cosper's flock is standing staunch-
" by him, nor have the criticisms
disturbed the eQuanimity or the faith
Of DR.. Cosper in his methods.
@Few of these who criticize me
would similarly castigate a member of
their flock who went to a vaudeville
show and witnessed the same dane
ing act" he says. "Neither would
they flay male members of their con-
gregation who attended a boxing ex-
hibition, provided it wasn't real prize
fight.
"The church today must compete in
some way with other attractions that
serve to keep church pews empty.
Good preaching alone is not going to
do it. Except for its novelty, there
is no more harm in a boxing match
or good woman dancer than there
is in church movie or church radio
concert. and while I've got my people
in church watching good clean show.
/ know they are out of devilment and
that I'm going to get chance before
they leave to talk to them about God.
Making people better Christians is
every minister's job and if boxing
and dancing help toward that end,
then they should be enlisted"

REAL FOOT COMFORT
HERE AT LAST
ICE-MINT
The New Discovery Ends All Foot
Troubles.

Don't limp, swear, hump your
shoulders nor suffer in silence with
painful corns, callouses, bunions Or
with feet that just naturally tire
quickly and hurt you. Just step into
any drug store and get a jar of cool
ing, soothing Ice-Miat and the mo.
ment it touches those poor, tired, ach-
ing feet you will just sigh with relief.
Real foot comfort, quick and sure.
1ce-Mint is snow-white creamy
preparation that comes from Japan.
Il is absolutely harmless. yet 1t stops
pain instantly, draws the sting out
of painful corns, callouses and bum
ions, reduces the swelling and makes
the feet feel cool, easy, and comfort
able. You just rub It on like cold
cream. All! how good your shoes feel
and you can dance all night or walk
all day and your feet won't hurt a
bit. Think of it, only'a touch or two
OF that cooling, soothing Ice-Mint and
real foot joy is yours. 1t actually
makes a pair of tired. swollen. corI-
pestered, aching feet just glow with
cooling comfort. Every foot sufferer
can appreciate a treatment like this,
especially women who wear high
heeled shoes and men who have to
stand on their feet all day. Try it..
Get jar Of Ice-Mint today and give
those poor, tired, aching, swollen feet
the treat Of their lives. There is
nothing better.

San Francisco, Cal, March 21.-
Just where and when shall the fine
line OF demarkation be drawn in ang-

or reluctant church-goers?

and pretty girl dancer as added fea-
lures TO dissemination of the Cos
pei?
Just now more than two score men
of the cloth in San Francisco, Oakland
and Berkeley are very much exercised
over these momentous questions and
before they are finally answered, a
good many sermons probably win be
preached on the subject.
The agitation concerns the action
Of DIR. Wilbert Leroy Cosper, bishop
OF the Christian Philosophical church
of Oakland, in mixing vaudeville and
athletic endeavor with the word of
God Because he believes in heaven

uninteresting Gospel with q few
laughs. a thrill or two, and a little
solid enjoyment, DIR. Cosper's church

Heretofore the Oakland clTgymen's
methods have not been startlmgly dis

cisco bay region ministers in attract

One night this week, however, he
decided TO 60 all OF his competitors

boxing match. And as an aftermath

between two former professional pugil-

satisfy the appetite of a crowd of
ringside regulars. As vaudeville
attraction there was nothing wrong
with the ballerina's number. But as

WAS too much flashing of shapely
calves and other component exhibits
Of REPOSITORIES art.
And now because Of the boxing
bout and the dancing number there
is q hornets nest of criticism about
DR.. Cosper's head. It all arises from
the shocked sensibilities OF other men

Governors VetOes
Features Close
Mass. Legislature

Boston, June 5.-Three vetoes by
Governor Cox featured the closing
day of the Massachusetts legislature
which prorogued tonight. The We
toes, which were based on q desire
to keep the state tax at $10.OOO,OOO.
were bills for the purchase of a state
rifle range at Reading, for the con-
struction of a breakwater at Squan-
tum and for a sea wall at Hull.
A controversy between the house
and senate over compulsory auto
mobile insurance continued up to
the time of propagation. For sew
eraf days the house had insisted on
the passage of a bill which would
require all automobile owners to
carry liability insurance, and the
senate has urged reference of the
insurance proposal to a special CON-
mittee which will sit during recess
and study the whole question of
highway safety.
Twice today the house refused to
accept the senate resolve for further
study and substituted the compul-
sorry insurance kill. This the SEN
ate tabled and the further study"
order was passed. The senate then
passed a bill to give persons injur-
Gu ny dutOAAOpHCC a Oh tuC SAis
This bill the house rejected by al
most unanimous vote.
In a statement issued after proro-
CATION Governor Cox said in part:
1T is my feeling that there ought
to be such protection afforded to in
nocent victims OF automobile acct
dents but / have never believed the
state would compel its citizens to
