INSURANCE COMBINE
Morgan Believed to Be Planning
Giant Combine.
CAPITALIZED At $l,7OO,OOO,
Saving in Present Scattered Control
Would Result-Question of Pol
icies Not Quite Clear.

New York, Dec. 4.-The amalgama-
tion of the "'big three" life insurance
companies-the Equitable Life, New
as the result of the purchase of con-
troll of the Equitable by j. Pierpont
Morgan & Co.
Such consolidation was seriously
considered several years ago, before the
upheaval in the Equitable which made
so many radical changes in the insur-
ance business. These changes have
greatly increased the probability of an
amalgamation and have removed many
of the conditions which then made it
impossible. The advantages are said
to be many and important and the OBJ
jections are not insurmountable.
From a financial standpoint the con-
solidation would be highly desirable for
those in control, as it would put assets
of $1,700,000,000 under the direction OF
a single group of fnanciers and would
result in material saving in the pres
ent distributed control.
Mr.. Morgan, if he were to dominate
the consolidated companies, would have
the handling and investment of an an
nual income of 100000. The aver.
age cash in bank of the three compa'
nies is now $25,000,000.
There are several great railroad sys
tens in which the combined holdings
of the three companies would be $50,
100000 and over, with all that it i'm
plies in influence. Of New York Cen
trail bonds alone the three hold $45,
100000, to say nothing of other lines
that are part of the New York Cen
trail system. In Pennsylvania bonds
the three hold $3s,OOO,00O. Even Mr.
Morgan's steel trust is dwarfed by the
possibilities of this combine.

GALE SINKS FREIGHT SHIP.
Six Men Go Down With British Bark
Off Cape Flattery.

Portland, Dec. 4.-Six lives were
claimed for toll by the rock bound
shores of Cape Flattery when the
British bark Matterhorn foundered in
a heavy sea, 70 miles off Umatilla reef
lightship, November 81.
Leaving the vessel during the heavy
gale that prevailed, the first officer IS

mate, steward and four of the sailors
were drowned.
Captain Salter and second mate and
25 of the crew launched large life.
boat, and after battling with the storm
for 27 hours, and enduring great hard
ships, succeeded in reaching Umatilla
lightship.
Crazed by exposure, one sailor
jumped overheard when approaching
the lightship, and was rescued with
difficulty by has comrades.
On Saturday, November 27, the day
on which the Matterhorn foundered
one Of the fercest storms which has
been experienced in years swept the
entire Pacific coast between Northern
California and Alaska.
AT North Head the wind registered
as high as "a miles an hour, and it blew
with even greater velocity at Tatoosl
Island. Vessels day behind the Mat
terhorn and Howard d. Troop were
r-bound at Astoria for several days
and vessels outside hovered around the
lightship, unable to get in.
During the same gale which wrecked
the Matterhorn, the steamer Argo went
ashore off Tillamook bar, November 26
when five lives were lost.
In charge of Captain Salter the Mat
terhorn crossed out over the Columbis
River bar at 1920 a. m. November 26
She was in company with the British
ship Howard d. Troop, and at thai
time the Portland waterfront figured
out a race between the two vessels OF
the voyage around the Horn. The Mat
terhorn carried 105,021 bushels of bar
ley and was bound for Ipswich. direct
The cargo was dispatched by Balfour
Guthrie & Co. She carried a master
two mates and 90 men.
The Matterhorn was a four-maste(
iron bark and was built at Greenocl
in 1882, and was owned by c. E. De
Wolf & Co. She was classed in Lloyd
\ as 100 AL.

ALL HAIL THE FOOD TABLETsl
No Dishes, No Kitchen Work, Hence
No Household Drudgery.

How would you like to throw away
all your kitchen utensils and most of
the dishes; send your -four, meats,
spices and other pantry stuff to a
charitable association; turn the kitch-
en- into den or sunroom; turn the
pantry unto a coy corner, and live on
nuts, fruits and food in tablet form?'
It's long question and it isn't abso-
lutely new, but it comes in for consid-
GRAFTON in connection with the recent
discussion of How to Get Rid of
Household Drudgery," says the Kan
sas City Times.
The suggestion was made in good
faith by woman who believes in the
system. She advocates it without re-
gard to the fact that such a plan of
near eating" would rob life of it's
dearest privilege, that of gazing on
and devouring the luscious roasts and
broils that competent cooks prepare,
to say nothing of potatoes mashed,
hashed or Drowned with butter and
gravy and pumpkin pie.
"This is no jest" the writer of the
essay says. 1T has been my dream
for years. There is only one solution
to the problems of housekeeping, only
one way to escape the ills that come
from unwise eating. Do away with
the kitchen and pantry, live on fresh
fruits, nuts and condensed foods in
tablet form. Have a refrigerator or,
better still, cold storage room where
drinking water may be cooled and the
fruits chilled. An ornamental jar or
cabinet will hold enough tablets to
feed family for a week or more.
Think Of the time saved that might
be devoted to reading or outdoor exer-
cisei And with the money saved we
could buy motor cars or electric car
riages." ... ..-.
Think Of the saving of time and
energy, too! No more luncheons to
put up In newspapers every morning
for the children and father. A tablet
or two in their pockets and possibly
nut for dessert and away they go to
the Office. Can you see fathers face
when he comes home at night tired
and cross, the children romping in
from school with cold little noses and
empty stomachs, ready to grow rap
turous over. q plump, fat chicken or q
pan Of Irish stew and hot biscuits?
Can you see the faces Of the children
light up with JOY when you point one
finger at the tablet Jar. and go on with
your Browning or Emerson? No
dishes to w9sh, no scraps to throw
away-nothing to do except read, sing,
play and eat fruits, tablets and nuts.
