President Roosevelt will take a leading part in the
reorganization Of the American life business
The reorganization however will be accomplished by the
several states, acting in unison and by federal
government That is the of outgving by the
president related by the state commissioner
Of Minnesota It is the satisfying
millions of life policyhoders that has given
first disclosure of rotenness in the management Of tho
Equitable Life company.
In the Of interview between President
Roosevelt and Insurance Commissioner oBrien of Min
nesoa, the former outlined plan insurance
organization The plan involves meeting, after the
conclusion of the present investigation in New York Of
all the state insurance commissioners and possibly also
of the governors and attorney generals, to devise
method for placing the life business safe
and economical basis After explaining his plan fully
Mr. OBrien said to the president, "There will be q
mittee to carry out our plans and need head viii
you help u.s. The prompt answer 81 most en-
phacally will. will be glad to help you any way
can"
This statement is Of immeasurable Importance be-
It points to adjustment of the life
business on sound basis without the questionable
pedient Of making it adjunct of the federal
ment The idea of insurance bureau in federal
department found considerable favor when the
graft disclosures first made public in New York
Mature consideration of the subject convinced of
good Judgment that would not only be bad precedent
to attach such business lines to federal government
affairs but that the funds in the hands of the in
suance companies would be temptation to federal
grafters Furthermore is well known to the public
the already is overwhelmed with duties that
have been added within the last dozen years
The plan of reorganzng the life insurance business
by joint action Of the several states is commendabe for
several In the place. it admits
utiona question such would be raised by attempt
to place the business under federal control Again. by
giving to each state control of the business within it's
limits under plan to all the states minute
supervision would be assured That could hardly be
pected under the plan of federal control.
Light is breaking the darkness that has lately
enveloped the whole business of life insurance
organized system, and economical is to be
evolved Such readjustment should not only insure abso
lutte safety to pocyholders, but should also lead to
material reduction in life insurance

This year representatives of large eastern fruit houses

The orange output of Southern California has become

MUNICIPALITY FINDS BARGAIN
In NEW STORM DRAIN CONTRACTS
Sewer Committee Discovers That Bids Are About
One-Third Less Than Usual Price-Will
Extend Work Five Miles

AS rapidly as is possible the sewer
committee is making efforts to take
care of the quantities of storm water
that flood Los Angeles streets every
winter and the next step in this pro-
cess will be next Monday when the
committee will recommend to the coun-
Gil contracts for the important storm
drains.
The recommendation of the commit
tee is that HickoX & Martin be given
the contract for storm drain on Clar-
ence street, Stephenson avenue and
other streets for $13,40O; that A. S.
Bent receive the contract for a storm
drain on Solano avenue, Buena Vista
street and across the Southern Pacific
and Santa Fe property for 5000, and
that the Hall Construction company
lay the storm drain across Fourth
street along Vermont avenue for
$7475.
Los Angeles herald., 1905-11-22

The money for this work will come
out of the 100000 bonds recently voted
for storm drains. In looking over the
bids for this work the committee was
surprised to find that they We're about
one-third less than the usual prices
for work of this nature and on inquiry,
learned that a price war between the
Los Angeles Stoneware & Sewer Pipe
company and the Los Angeles Sewer
Pipe Association was responsible for
the reduction in prices. Contractors
are able to buy the pipe much cheaper
now than they could short time ago,
and the city will receive the benefit
OF the price-slashing of the sewer pipe
makers.
1t is estimated that if these con-
Germs will keep the prices down to
their present level about five miles
more of storm drains can be built than
was contemplated in the bond issue.

FORWOMEN
Popularity of Velvet

Velvet, which is to be so popular this
year for gala toilets of all kinds, al
though not for dances, of course, can
be procured in innumerable coloringS,
among which, for afternoon wear, rich
shades of pansy and dahlia are par
ticularly appreciated There are beau
tiful greens and browns among the
new velvets, and gray, especially in
the deep smoke tint, will be exceed
ingly chic for the velvet costume.
Moire velvet, with q Watered surface
resembling that of the moire silk that
is going to be so very modish this win
ter, is new and distinctly different from
the mottled surface effects seen in
some of last seasons velvets. Ribbed
velvet or silk corduroy is used for day
gowns, but the plain velvets of a soft
chiffon quality are the velvets par eX-
cellence to buy. AS a trimming, velvet
heads the list, and no matter what
other trimmings are used they are sure
to be reinforced by touches of velvet.
Dress Made of Glass
One of the latest novelties in dress
material is a cloth made from spun
glass, and it can be had in white,
green, lilac, pink and yellow. The in
Ventor of the fabric is an Austrian,
supple as silk, and is none the worse
for being either stained or soiled. Any
grease or other spots can be easily re-
moved by simply brushing the material
with a hard nail brush and soap and
warm water. The first lady to wear a
spun-glass dress was an Austrian lady
of royal rank. 1t was very delicate
hue of pale lavender, shot with pink,
and when she wore it at state ball
it's peculiar sheen reminded her adj
mirers Of the sparkle of diamond dust,
Vogue of the Nishtcap
Countess Fabbricotti, the famous So
society beauty and one of the latest re-

is responsible for the quaint revival
of the nightcap.
THE revival of the nightcap has been
extraordinarily successful" said the
countess. when first introduced the
little caps of lace few weeks ago
/ never thought they would have such
a vogue. OF course, The old style of
nightcap was terribly unhygienic, but
that cannot be alleged against the lit
tie caps that make, for they are made
entirely of lace OF open netting. Young
people as we'll as old wear them. In
deed, | have just got an order for two
dozen real lace nightcaps for bride"
Pigs in Blankets
Take large reelected oysters and wrap
around each a very thin slice of bacon.
Lay these blanketed oysters in sauce
pan or in the chafing dish, which
should be very hot. When the bacon
has become crisp transfer to thin slices
of toast and garnish with q sprig OF
water cress.
Don't Box Their Ears
There are still some intelligent wo-
men who, after all that has been writ
ten on the subject, insist on boxing
children's ears. Only this summer, in
the twentieth century, an educated wo-
man was seen to give her little nephew
of three years a sound box on the ear.
Why people should select the ears for
this purpose is hard to tell. Almost any
other part of the face or body would
be less dangerous. Authorities declare
that a great deal of the deafness 50
common Is directly traced TO the sharp
boxing on the ears which schoolmas-
ters OF the past used to indulge In.

popular ovation. He saw typical
American city in the throes of an cleo
ton. II feel as if / really knew some
thing about your great country now,
he remarked. The Princes party was
driven over, the burnt district, where
the Prince was much impressed by the
evidence of what he called American
pluck and energy" Frequently along
the route a cheer came from the
crowded sidewalks. and each time the
Prince modestly touched his cap in
response.
Rounding up at the city hall about
half past five. the Prince was cheered
by a great crowd. Here reception
was held.
After the reception the Prince dined
with the British consul, and in the
evening, accompanied by the mayor,
and the British CONSUL he visited the
office of the Baltimore News to learn
how election returns come in.
Thirty-five thousand people packed
the streets around the building, watch
ing the returns. The Prince was not
recognized by the crowds outside.
The Prince left for Annapolis at
10:49. His squadron sails tomorrow.
