Those Who GO Down To The Sea
In Ships

The lure of the sea has fasci-
mated men through all history.
Increasing population, depletion
of home resorces, the love of ad-
venture and the quest for wealth
in strange lands have led man
through all time to traverse not
alone the mountains and valleys,
but also to thread the devious
passage of the sea.
In the dawn of history, moth
ing daunted by the terrors of the
elements, the destroying winds
and mountainous waves, he VEN
tured upon the sea In the most
fragile of boats and with the
crudest methods of propulsion.
1t was only little over 400 years
ago, after much evolution in ves-
sci building and the adoption of
the sail, that there were those
who were hardly enough to at
tempt a voyage into the unknown
which resulted in the first trans
atlantic crossing since that day
the science of ship building has
advanced by strides and bounds,
and the seas Of the globe are
threaded by countless vessels
bearing merchandise and tourists
between ali points and tbrocgh
all seas.
The disaster to the Titanic is
appalling. Perhaps at no time
in the history of maritime affairs
has there been such a cataeIysnis
Is there any lesson in the disas-
ter? Were 1900 souls sacrificed
because OF modern demands for
speed and quick transact across
the Atlantic? Was it due to the
size of the great vessel which,
according to reports, had trouble
in leaving her berth IL Europe?
Is an express service across the
Atlantic a necessity? Surely
human life is worth more thar
he loss of "a hours time, or even
il weeks time. Just who was to
Jfame for the disaster is not yet
out certainly the nations
;houla take steps to prevenS its /
occurrence. Gin, Enquirer.

LIFE COMP ANIES
IN BIG. MERGER
Application for Virginia Charter
Now Before State Corpora
ton Commission.

The proposed charter for the 100
Southern lfe Insurance companies
which havo merged their interests is
BEING reviewed BY Chairman Robert
X. Prentis. OF tho State Corporation
Commission. and II approved by him
VIII ho returned to counsel for the
consolidated companies in Washing
ton. The tentative charter Involves
a capital stock of 100000, and the
name OF the new concern will be tho
southern Consolidated Life Insurance
Company. 1t Is expected that the
charttr VIII be granted some time next
week.
The big merger, while IN no way
affecting Virginia life Insurance COM
panies, will include about leo small
organizations i'll North anu South Car
olina. Georgia and Florida The com
panies which are in the consolidation
show Si00.oo0,000 in policies in force
and ABOUT Sio,000.000 total assets Be-
fore making public the consolida ton
plans, the merger was submitted to
many prominent Insurance actuarios
for their approval. y feature OF the
charter will be committee of South
ern members OF Congress to act for
tho policyholders and in general
way to supervise the management
Not only is it believed that the
merger will save e. total of 100000
year In overhead expenses. but many
of the smaller companies which have
never been able to declare a reason
able dividend. will be able 10 reim-
bursc their stockholders fully. and the
consolidated companies pay g. good in
terest on the capital. 1t is believed
that the consolidation will be able TO
save in the future the tremendous loss
necessarily involved in the mainte-
nance OF 100 smaller companies, many
of which have not been able to write
10 per cent. OF the insurance in their
home territory. According to estimate
S9.000,eoo has been lost by stockhold-
ers In these various companies In in
terest on their money at 8 per cent.
Tho men concerned In the consolida
tlon are nearly all from Washingt ton
and Baltimore. Under tho terms OF
the merger. the home offices will be
continued as agencies of tho head

INSURANCE BILL
FACES WAR N FIGHT
Opposing Forces Deluge Mem
bcrs of House With Sensa-
tional Letters.

One OF tho sternest fights OF the end
of the session of the General Assembly
viii be over the passage or defeat In
the House of Delegates OF the Senate
bill for the regulation and control OF
fraternal insurance societies. Into tho
light have been dragged thousands OF
members of fraternal orders in Vir-
ginia. and the members OF the House
arc being overwhelmed with letters,
| many of them in opposition to tho bill.
This measure comprises the principles
! OF what Is known as the '.alobile BILL"
which has been approved by the Ma

sending out form letters TO Individual

startling information that tho passage
| Of the bill means the annihllation OF
! the fraternal orders If this bill be-
comes a law generally" says Mr.. klmp-
| ton, within five years from this dato
| the fraternal system will be a wreck
| ono of the effects OF the bill, as intro
dnced, would be that eacn society would
have to Increase Its rate OF assessment
every three years" 1t il urged that
members or the House be asked to
vote against the bill.
S. i. Latham state manager for the
| Woodmen of the World in Virginia,
upon being appraised of these letters,
| i:as made pointed and printed reply.
| He dcnounces the statement that "thc
passage of this bill means the annihi-

| solutcly false. The rights. plans and
