CONVENTION OF WESTERN AUTO SUPPLY MANAGERS

ed the annual four-day conferen-
ce.
Sales and service policies were
outlined, and merchandising plans
were discussed for 1927. 1t was
disclosed that the Western Auto
Supply Company will launch a
more extensive campaign than
ever during the coming year with
a complete line of accessories,
camping equipment, tires and
radios.
This is the first of a series of
four conventions to be held
throughout the districts populated
by the accessory stores. A few
years ago, when the stores and
managers could be counted on the
fingers of one hand, all the man.
ayers met annually at the main
store in Los Angeles. The COM
pany has made such rapid strides
in so short a time and stores have
been extended over so wide an
area that central meeting once
a year in Los Angeles has been
found impractical and individual
conventions are held annually IN
Los Angeles, Denver, Seattle and
Oakland.

STARTED TEDDY BEAR"

A Washington cartoonist was
responsible for the teddy bear fad
that swept the country while
Theodore Roosevelt was in the
White House. When Roosevelt
went on a bear hunt, in 1902, he
assured the reporters he would
bring back a bear.
After nine days in Mississippi
hunting grounds, word reached
Roosevelt and his party that a
bear had been sighted. Heavily
armed the sportsmen set out, to
find only one small black cub
sbout eighteen inches long. Two
strong men were holding it with
ropes. Roosevelt smiled and
said, ''I'd be ashamed to face my
children again if I shot that cub"
The incident was wired to WASH
.ington, and Clifford Bergman,
cartoonist, drew a cartoon next
Cay called "Teddy's Bear,' which
represented Roosevelt pulling the
little creature by rope up the
White House steps. This was
70, owed by another called "Draw-
i " the Line in Mississippi" in
allusion to the agitation then see
thing over the color line in the
gulf states. These two cartoons

In this case the Government at.
tacks the right of former Secretary

NEW Church WAR
INJUNCTION LOOMS
Pastors Opponents Expected
to Strike Back With
Counter Plea.

The factional strife in the Bradburn
Memorial Methodist Church took on a
more complicated legal aspect today
with announcement that the faction
which was temporarily enjoined from
ousting Rev. l.. \. Mossburg would
strike back with IA cross petition for
counter-injunction against the
pastor.
The restrained group OF trustees and
alleged former" trustees has been
notified by the Equity Court to show
cause tomorrow why the temporary
injunction should not be made per-
manent.

In reply, it is understood. Attorneys
Wilton J. Lambert. II. Fl. Yeatman
and Austin +. Garfield will ask that
Rev. Mossburg be restrained from act
ing as pastor. His opponents claim
that he has been "ousted." but the
pastors friends declare the action was
"surreptious and unauthorized"
The injunction, granted by Justice
Bailey last Saturday. was issued
against Edwin G. Crouch. John Steele.
Robert l.. Maddox. Andrew NJ. Steele
and James F.. Cloey. The first three
were removed" from the board Of
trustees of the church at n meeting
in February on the ground that they
were not active members of the
church. The remaining two still are
trustees. The "ejected" trustees chal-
lenged the right of the meeting to
remove them.
Climax at Meeting.
The "war" reached a climax at a
meeting of the church board and
membership March 3, when police
were forced TO take a hand in the
heated controversy to prevent what
Lieut.. o. T. Davis described as
threatening to be a riot"
The petition for the original injunc-
ton, filed by SO members of the
church, declared that Crouch was so
obstreperous in this meeting that
physical combat" seemed imminent.
Attorneys Raymond b. Dickey and
Edward G. Kriz are representing the
