SHOW STEADY
INCREASE
Receipts of State Insurance De-
partment are Growing Sub
stantialIy.

MADISON, Wis, Jan. 3I.-Reven
ues of the insurance department SHOW
a substantial increase over last year,
according to Insurance Commissioner
H. L. Ekern, who today issued this
statement:
''The receipts of the insurance de-
partment for the month of January,
amount to $685. 81, of which all
but $24491 paid by the Guardian Life
insurance company, comes from fire
companies. The payments of nearly
all the companies show a substantial
increase and it is certain that the re-
venues will exceed the aggregate of
1928 ,472.75 collected by the depart
ment during the past year. On all this
the increase goes directly to benefit
the state treasury, with the sole ex-
ception of the fire marshal tax, a
mounting last year to $29 BLOB, which
is set apart solely for the fire marsh
ais department.

Through persons who are in a
position to know. information
comes to us that CAPTAIN Charles
Young, commander of 1 Troop of
the Ninth Cavalry and commander
of the third squadron of the regi-
ment, will be advanced to the rank
of major in the fall. This will be
the first time that a colored man
has reached so high position in
the regular army of the United
States in time of peace, excepting
of course, the advancement that
has come to chaplains. Captain
Young is West Pointer, an Ohio
an by birth, and a gentleman by
practice whom the enlisted men
honor and respect. He is a schol-
ar and lover of the race whom all
who know him delight to see ad-
vance, for he believes in lifting as
he climbs.
