BEADING. Ta., June 13. With between
100 and 600 Ia' nnd mlnl8lerlaI delegates
In attendance, the 160th annual' session of
the Lutheran Mlnlsterlum of Pennsylvania
and adjacent States opened In Trinity
Church hero today, to continue the re
mainder of the week. The most recent con
venllon of the kind held In this churclt
took place exactly 0 yearn ago this week.
A a preliminary to the meeting, Com
munion services. In which nil of the minis
ters and laymen pnrtlclDatod, took place
list night In Trinity Church, nnd there
Tvas delivered the annual nddress of the
president. Dr. J. A. W. Haas, of Muhlen
berg College, Allentown, Pa., who had for
Ms subject "The Chief Duslness of the
Church." This was the last ofllctal act of
Doctor Haas, as ho retired from the presi
dency today, nnd balloting for his successor
was commenced lato this afternoon,
In his la?t message to tho mlnlsterlum
as Its president. Dr. Haas found a mighty
challenge to the Church In the fact that It
was so easy to drift Into an Indifference
and a coldness to religion, and tat there
were thousands of professing Lutherans,
"who have begun to love the world' nnew."
PRESIDENT'S ADDRESS
His remedy for this condition Is the In
fusion of "seeking nnd beseeching note In
our preaching." , .
Thero was an eloquent plea for the
revival of a deeper pastoral relationship
between pastor and people. Thero wns n
scathing rebuke of tho Inefficiency of the
great majority of church, organizations of
the present day as fnr as tho actual work
of the Church Is concerned.
The Church has nljowed herself to be
come secularized; she has become worldly
In many of her practices and she falls to
express. In much of her activity and In
much of her organization, tho spiritual Ideal
to which she has been called. It Is timely
that we should rc-examlne our methods of
work within our churches and ask whether
they are directed toward tho spiritual pur
pose that men be not lost. It Is possible
)n mir modern ways of conducting the af
fairs of a church for souls to bo lost, even
though they arc most active In the exter
nalities of the conduct of the Church."
He referred very pointedly to he fact
that the mlnlsterlum was not giving; as
careful and courageous attention to the
problems of the "drifters" as she should.
'There aro thousands scattered through
our tovns and cities who claim nominal
membership In somo church but who aro
not being fed actually with the bread of
life from Sunday to Sunday. It Is tlmo
that without distinction of city or country,
but with a common willingness that Christ
shall Increase, even though w decrease,
that we must enter upon this great question
of the better spiritual caro of tho souls
entrusted to us. Wo daro no longer evade
this' question ns to how wo aro seeking
souls. We need a return of the problems
and questions of the salvation of men."
Before this convention will have closed
late In the week such legislation may be
passed upon as will mako It the most Im
portant session ever held by this body.
PROMINENT MEN PRESENT
There Is strong agitation, that Is not
without equally strong opposition, ap
parently, to fix the term of tho President
at five years at a salary of $3000 per
annum, 'with the privilege of re-election.
Should the new order become effective by
a favorable vote of tho body, virtually
the entire code of the mlnlsterlum -vvill
, undergo changes.
Some of tho most prominent Lutherans
' n the country are on the program for
.addresses during the convention, among
(them, the Rev. W. L. Stough, English
secretary of tho mlnlsterlum; tho Rev.
; H, D. E. Slcbott. German secretary, nnd
the Rev. H. E. "Weller. D. D Orwlgsburg,
general treasurer; the Rev, C. M. Sandt,
, editor of the Lutheran.
The Rev Dr. Jacob Fry, of Mount Airy,
former pastor of Trinity Lutheran Church,
will preach the sermon of ordination on
Thursday evening, when 14 young men will
become clergymen.
At this evening's laymen's rally In St.
James Church, presided over by E.
August Miller, of Philadelphia, the speakers
wll be E. August Miller, of Philadelphia ;
JVllllam H. Hager, of Lancaster, and the
Rev. Charles J. Smith, of New York. At the

Frescoed Domestic Animals May Soon Be the Mode of the Barnyards and Zoos.
Checkerboards on Elephants.' Backs Would Be Decorative and Furnish
Amusement for Riders
A bluo pig doesn't mean that It's melan
choly. fcor will tho color affect the quality of
pork.
A graduate of Harvard Is responsible for
this new hog product. Faithful to his alma
mater, ho first raised some red porkers; then
he decided to bo broadmlndcd In tho matter
and developed several hundred Yale-colored
Pigs. By separating the reds and bluen
with whites ho managed to glvo his piggery
quite a patriotic appearance. It Is Just
possible that the red, white nnd bluo bacon
which we see In the butcher shops may
have come from these colored animals.
The piggery Is located In Peabody, Mass.
It has been learned that this fancy breed
er graduated In law, but In view of the
high cost of living nnd posslblo sales of
sausage ho quickly exchanged nlackstone
for pork.
His success In pig art nan suggested nrtls
tic fresco breeding In other animals.
It Is pointed out, for Instnnco, that
ch'ccftcr-colored elephants would be espe
cially appropriate. Natives who have long
journeys across th,e desert could while
away dull hours with Interesting games
of chess or checkers atop tho elephant's
back. It Is possible, too, that the animals
themselves would enjoy tho distinction of
being different from their brothers nnd
sisters.
A polka dot hippopotamus, many believe,
would also bo a relief to the eye. Most
hippos aro homely nnd of ungainly figure.

Only One Signal in "L" Smash
NEW YORK, June 13. Only one
danger signal, and that of tho ord.
Inary type, was set against Motorman
Francis Kerrigan when ho wns killed last
Thursday as his train dashed Into a'n "L"
local at 3d avenue and 119tlj street. Cor
oner Flynn made this discovery" shortly
after ho began his Inquest Into the cause of
Kerrigan's death. Edward P. Grove, the
towerman, who Is under $2500 ball on crlnv
Inal charges growing out of the wreck, ad
mitted he did not set signal No. 2 against
Kerrigan. Had ho done so when ho- saw
Kerrigan's train the signal would have
caused the other train to stop and the crash
still would have been Inevitable.

As for cows, farmers say that a tiger.
striped breed of bovine would bo alone the
lines of progress. With such a color, they
Louhl readily frighten off tramps nnd crows.
Then, too, the hue would contrast nicely
with tho deep green of tho meadow.
When It comes to dogs, fanciers say thero
could be. bred with zebra stripes. When
on the watch nt night, they would Boon
scare burglnrn away, not only by a vicious
bark but by tho colors alone, which would
remind tho Intruder of the stripes coming
to him If captured.
It Is agreed by authorities on the sub

VIVACIOUS YOtTNG CHIMPANZEE
THREATENED TO WRECK ZOO HOME
Mimi, Pretty and Intelligent Female, Recently Donated,
Sets Her Cap for Mr.-Congo, Though He's Already
Married to Old-Fashioned Johanna '
When tha pangs of Jealousy get going In
a woman things are likely to happen nnd
happen quickly, but when tho green monster
clutches nt the heart of a female monkey
It's lime to be hiking to the bomb-proof
cellen So say the keepers of the monkey
house nt the Zoological Gardens.
And they know, too, for nt present Johan
na, tho big female chlmpanico at the Zoo,
Is giving nbout ns pretty nn exhibition of
Jcatous raga as over nllllcted the heart of
a female monk. Johnnha is "peeved," sore
nnd mad clean through becnuse a rival has
appeared for )ho affections of Congo, n
young nnd dashing mate chimpanzee, who
has been a resident of the Zoological Gar
dens for nbout a year.
This rival Is none other than Mlml. nn
Intelligent chimpanzee recently presented to
the Zoo by Dr. William Henry Furness,
a scientist. Mlml can speak three or four
words qulto plainly, nnd Is said to be the
most Intelligent monkey In tho world, which
Is nil tho more reason for Johanna being
Jealous.
Tho keepers of tho monkey house say
they are certain that n week ago last
Saturday Johanna got wind of tho fact
that she wns going to hnvo a rival. On
that day she pried off tho top of tho
tunnel leading from tho monkey houso to
tho outside cngo nnd was at liberty for
nearly three hours ln tho Zoological
Onrdcns Johnnnn weighs 140 pounds, has
a back as wlda aa a roll-top desk and
arms with cords of steel. "
Johanna first made n. raid on tho store
house of the monkey house. Just to Bhow
how really "sore" she was sho seized n
bottle of Ink from a desk nnd swallowed
the liquid at one gulp. The Ink didn't plcaso
her much nnd sho mado n wry face. Sho
placed tha stopper carefully back Into the
Ink bottle nnd laid It bnck on the desk.
Then sho pulled three largo- bunches of
bananas toward ner and began eating thorn
whllo keepers looked on ln alarm. None
of them dared to approach tho chlmpanr.ee.
Johanna liked the bananas so well that
sho lay on her back and tried a new way of
eating them. She would tons a banana Into
the air with her hind feet nnd catch It with
her nimble fingers ns It came down. In a
flash sho would strip tho skin from tho
frull and crowd tho banana pulp Into her
mouth. Sho ate nenrly nil of tho three
bunches nnd then went Into tho open for n
tittle exercise n,fler her meal. For more
than nn hour she swung herself by the tall
from tree to tree, while keepers followed
her on tho lawn below. James McCrossen,
liend keeper of the monkey house, appeared
In tho midst of Johanna's fun, nnd nfter a
half hour's careful effort ho lured tho chim
panzee back Into tho monkey house, where
sho wns ngnln mnde a prisoner.
Johanna's Jenlousy has grown steadily
worso slnco that day, nccordlng to her keep
ers. Upon the day of Mlml's arrival she
dashed n round her cage, biting nt the bars
nnd screeching In a high rage. The keepers
Bay that she kept a careful watch of Congo,
to see If ho showed a disposition to flirt
with Mlml. Luckily Congo has not yet
shown any signs of n change of heart. The
keepers say, however, that this Is likely to
happen, for Mlml has n very "taking way"
about her. Sho Is several years younger
than Johnnnn, has mild, winning eyes nnd
large ears. The keepers Insist that largo
enrs constitute one of tho beauty marks of
a monkey. It Is certain that Johanna has
taken note of the advantages possessed by
her rival nnd sho Is certainly some worried.

It's easier to lift
easier with two
a load-
strong
much
arms
than with one and it's speedier
Split the stress divide the
strain and you more evenly
distribute the load.
That's the way to do the task
quickly and with the expendi
ture of less effort.
And that's just what we have
done with the Packard motive
power.
Two strong and nimble little
arms now do the work which
was done by one rather cumber
some and heavy arm.
We have made twelve small
cylinders do the work of six
larger ones.
It's six pairs of lively twins
all light sturdy strong ready
for instant and concerted action.
The result is not only greater
power but truly wonderful
smoothness and sprightliness.
It's the Packard idea this
Twin Six. It is ours. And all
motordom knows that it's a
world achievement.
Time tested! Six thousand
delighted owners emphasize the
conspicuous success of the
Twin Six idea.
And this refined Packard sells
for $2750-$3150 and upward-
f.o.b. Detroit.
You'll want a Packard now
more than ever before. See the
Twin Six at Packard Motor Car
