LUTHERANS WILL
OBSERVE Church
D BIRTHDAY HERE
Oldest Lutheran Church to
Hold Ninetieth Ami
VerSary.

Ninety years ago, back in the year
1886, the first Lutheran church in
Marion County was organized. Next
Sunday this church, the Ebenezer
Evangelical Lutheran Church, will
celebrate its ninetieth anniversary,
and also have homecoming day for
the former members Of the church.
Ninety years have seen many
changes in this fine old historic
church, which is not only the oldest
Lutheran church in Indianapolis, but
the second oldest in the entire State
of Indiana.
Located on the Millersville Rd,. or
what is now called Sutherland Ave,
this church was for many years en-
tirely supported by a country con-
gregation. In 1872 the present
church building was erected. This
building has served the needs of the
congregation for many years. How
ever. with the development of the
community and the growth of the
congregation a modern new church
building will be an absolute neces-
sity in a few years.
A. From a rather isolated country
s3hurch, Ebenezer has grown to a
place where it occupies a command
ing place among the Lutheran
churches of Indianapolis. The church
building itself, while old, is adapted
to modern needs.
The downstairs consists of the
Sunday school room and primary de-
partment and the heating plant is
located in the rear of the Sunday
school room The entire upstairs is
devoted to the use Of the church
auditorium. In the spring Of 1925
the church pews were revarnished
and the entire auditorium reflnished.
Pastor Called
Also in the spring of 1925 the con-
gregation called the Rev Knox Rob
erts to become its pastor. In May,
1925, the Rev. Roberts took charge
of the church. In the last year and

Food Prices Are Charged by Weigh
At Dinner of Metric Association

If the nutritive value of food were
gauged by it's weight, the modest look
ing bowl of soup that heads the course
list of all we'll ordered dinners would
take first place hands down. At
least, so 1t would seem from observa
tions made at the Weight and Meas
ure luncheon of the Columbia sec.
ton of the Metric Association at Con
gress Hall Hotel yesterday.
The luncheon was rendered by a
few Washington members of the as
sociation in honor of Walter Wood
of Philadelphia and Mrs. Otto Hahn
and Howard Richards, both of New
York City. The speakers included
DIR. Harvey w. Wiley, Mrs. Hahn and
Representative Britten of Illinois, all
of whom urged universal use of the
metric system of weights and
measures.
To show faith in the fairness Of
this system, 1t was decided that every
person attending should pay only for
the amount of food he consumed
Thus. set price of l cent for every
grams of food consumed was ar
ranged. The diners were carefully
weighed before the luncheon, but 1t
was found that the menu had ap-
pealed to every one so thoroughly
that rechecking with the scales was
found unnecessary, and a fiat rate Of
a dollar a plate was accepted all
around.
Each course of food, however, was
weighed upon being placed on the
table. The soup weighed 200 grams,
the entire $50 grams, salad 73 grams
and coffee with cream $50 grams. It

Egyptian government.
Chauncey Pelknap, Mr.. Rockefel-
,lers lawyer, who has been here in
connection with the proposal, has left
Cairo for New York to explain to Mr.
Rockefeller the attitude Of the Egyp-
tan government toward his offer. The
hope is warmly expressed in many
quarters that some arrangement may
be reached by which Egypt may be
able to avail herself of Mr. Rockefel-
ler's generosity.
