Is "damnation" a bad word to use
I'm a prayerbook?
Judging from the answers returned
to this question by Washington min

Church. Il Is not so satisfactory as
condemnation"
The whole question was taken up
by the commission OF revision OF the
Prayerbook. which intends to report
to the Protestant Episcopal convention
at ST. Louis this week. Its recommen-
dalton for changing "damnation" to
condemnation
Condemnation" says the commits
sion, is a better way of trapslatln

a different color of meaning than the

Born to Mr.. and Mrs Llama, Ma

daughter are doing we'll.
Thus may the latest visit Of the stork
be described. Baby Llama arrived early
yesterday morning, and, Of course, since
that time has overshadowed in popular
tty every other creature in the big reser-
walton.
She is not the most beautiful child in

Here Several Years.
Father and mother Llama came to
washington from the Philadelphia Zoo
several years ago, while the grand
parents OF the little one were captured
in the Jungles Of South America.
Old Lady Stork has had a busy fall
season so far at the Zoo. 1t was only
q few days after the leaves began to
color and cover the ground about the
animal yards with their yellow and
brown carpet that increases were noted
In several of the families at the park.
The banner day for the stork was
September "a. On that day the first
guanaco ever born at the local Zoe
made Its appearance. The little guanaco
South Americans domesticated the
Guanaco and the tame animal became
known as the llama. Both mother and
baby guanaco are also doing well.
Baby Elk Born.
A baby elk was also born on Septem'
ber "a. as were Ave coypus. which are
by far the most interesting family ir
the park to those who admire progress
sive and precocious children.
Tho appearance OF the babies coyp,
. was scarcely noted by the officials o.
the Zoo before their industrious mother
had them in the pond giving them theil
FIRST lesson In swimming. Zoo Officials
themselves were very much amused b,
the rather premature action of tn
mother, and expressed surprise at thu
rapidity with which the infant animal
took to the art OF moving themselve
about In the water.
The coypu is a species Of large waite
rodent, which makes Its native home II
Argentina and Patagonia. It's fur 4
known as nutria.
Other Interesting Arrivals.

There has been an interesting addition
to the family OF Mr.. and Mrs. Camel
Baby Camel preferring to take her food

one of the keepers or officials Of tn
Zoo hold her bottle for her.
Then there Is the newborn infant o
Mr. and Mrs. Yak and another chill
born to Mr.. and Mrs. Monkey. And 4
each case both child and mother are do
ing well.
The llama. though at present not rar
in the United States. is considered val
liable to museums because there Is no,

of foot and mouth and other disease
among them.
