Intense Indignation has been aroused

cause of her weakness. President
Yuan Shi Kai voiced the sentiment
OF China when he declared in a mani

Talks on Cooking No. 18

In the High Schools of this Country as we'll as
in many Grade and Private Schools, Domestic
Science teachers are daily developing the future
housewives.
And where cooking and baking are brought
down to simple science SO that every girl may be-
come mistress of her own Kitchen the Gas Range
is the accepted standard. To instruct pupil how
TO use Gas Range is matter of a few minutes
time. The results obtained after the food has been
prepared for the range almost automatic III their
simplicity. So much heat is required for every piece
of food, and there is guess work about this, be-
cause the eye can tell by the height of the flame
just how much heat is being produced.
The science of cooking is made hundred per-
cent easier when the cooking and baking process is
used in connection with a Gas Range.
The pupils advance most rapidly where gas is
used because nearly every pupil is more or less fa-
miliar with the use of gas for cooking BEFOREthey
enter school. Either in their own homes or in the
homes of friends they have seen the wonderful ease
with which meals may be prepared on Gas Range
and when they join the Domestic Science Classes
they have already acquired the first step in cookery
the easy management of the Gas Range If the
Gas Range is the standard range of the Schools of
Domestic Science, how then, can make any
mistake in installing Gas Range in the home?

General T. Coleman DUPONT. of Del
ware. has taken the first practical
eter toward the naturalization of the
EQUITABLE Life Assurance Society by
giving the committee having that pro-
iect in charge an option for three
years to purchase the majority stock
at the same price that he recently
paid for II, plus a reasonable rate of
interest. The significance of this
transaction is of exceptional import
ance. It affects the personal inter-
ests of an enormous body OF policy
holders throughout the United States.
Ever since the investigation of the
big insurance companies a few years
ago, the naturalization Of the Equit-
able has been projected. II is a
stock company with but one thousand
shares outstanding Control of 1t has,
therefore, been comparatively easy to
obtain, as the manipulation of a
sjg,ilarly small number of shares was
involved. The late J. Pierpont Nor
gan was generally understood to have
purchased q controlling interest with
view to naturalization. Any plans
10 this end formulated by the great
fnancier were checked by his death.
It now appears. however, that Mr.
Morgan did not own a majority Of
the stock outright, since General du-
! Pcnt has purchased other interests
/ to complete the total of SOP shares
which have come into his possession
Doubtless the greatest part Of this
was the Morgan stock. General du-
/ Pont Is understood to have paid 3d.
/ 500 900 for the 502 shares, or approx
mately $1,000 share. Therein lies
one of the paradoxes in the manage.
ment of the Equitable.
The admitted assets Of this greaf

From the Philadelphia Press.

assurance society are valued at more
than S525. 100000 and its treasury
holds Sg0,000O00 Of surplus earnings.
The small group of stockholders are
divided into two camps, the majority
and the minority. While the ma
iority stock is worth to the pur-
chaser $1,000 a share, the latest quo
tation for minority stock is $500 a
share. That is the price at which
the stockholders on the board OF d.
rectors are understood to have OBJ
tanned their holdings, whereas by
their policy as managers they nave
held the price of the majority STOCK
at the larger figure. In this eonnec-
ton it should be explained that the
Morgan stock has been transferred TO
General DUPONT at a price which
represents but a fair amount Of inter-
est over the original cost OF Mr.
Morgan.
Whatever plan Of naturalization Is
carried into effect by General DUPONT,
he will certainly stand as a public
henefactor in giving the policyhold-
ers the right to share in the enorm-
Gus earnings of the Equitable Life
Assurance Society. Doubtless II will
be necessary to modify or abolish the
present arrangement of having but
one thousand shares of stock Either
the policy-holders can be made stock
holders by virtue of their status as
policyholders or the number of shares
may be greatly increased and sold to
the policyholders. At any rate it is
to be hoped sincerely that no wire
pulling and legal entanglements such
as have heretofore retarded plans Ia
mutualize the Equitable Life Assur-
ance Society will interfere with Gen.
eral duPont's benevolent purposes.
