u. A. c. TO HAVE MOTOR
TRANSPORT UNIT

In letter congratulating the
Utah Agricultural College upon the
honor accorded it by the War de-
paItment in giving II motor trans
port unit of the Reserve Training
corps the Hon. Martin A. Morrison,
president Of the United States Civil
Service commission announced that
the United States army is definitely
launched in the field of vocational
training for the motor transport
corps.
The War department must take
this attitude, according to Mr. Nor.
rison who says: Men skilled in auto
motive vehicle operation and repair
do not exist in anything like adequate
numbers for the requirements even
OF civil life; and the war with Ger
many has demonstrated that no mat
ter how good our army may be in
other respects, its efficiency will be
conditioned by that OF the motor
transport branch.
Therefore the army is organizing
schools to train men in various
branches of automobile repair, con-
struetion and operation. They are
real schools under trained teachers
where the time of the pupil is wholly
deovted to receiving instruction.
Apart from the military necessity
the automotive industries will bene-
fit by the establishment of this train
ing system.
THE United States Civil Service
commission is receiving applications
Z to fill $50 positions of assistant in
structor in motor transport training
schools. The entrance salaries range
from 1900 to $4,000 a year. Detailed
information may be obtained from
the United States Civil Service com.
mission, Washington. D. c., or from

vice board at the post office or Gus

MYSTERY IN SHIPS LOSS
(New York World.)

One of the real old peace time mys- teries of the sea involves the disap- pearance of the 51-year- Norwegian iron sailing ship Superior, which sailed from Manila. on December F, bound here, by way of the Cape of Good Hope, with captain and crew of sixteen and q cargo of 4 900 bales of hemp and 1,000 tons of sugar.
 The Norwegian American trading company, charterers of the ship, re- ceived a cable from agents in Manila the other day that the mate and seven men had landed on the island of Bali, in the Malay archipelago. Government authorities at Manila were notified and a search made for the ship, but no trace of it was found.
 The cablegram contained the sen- tence, Tt is a mysterious case,' and stated that the ship had become len dangered" off Bali. Its master, Cap tain H. Hansen, and crew were said to have taken two lifeboats, but had not progressed far toward land when Cap tain Hansen and eight men in one boat put back to the ship, while the mate and seven men in another boat rowed to Bali. The captain and eight men were seen to board the Superior again Christmas day.

REMARKABLE GROWTH
 SHOWN IN STATE IF INSURANCE BUSINESS

The insurance business as disclosed by the books of the state corporation commission, is growing as everything else is in Arizona. The receipts of the insurance department of the commis- sion for March amounted to $77,404.20 That is within $4,000 of the total re- ceipts of that department for the whole of the year 1918; is 20 per cent in ex- cess of the receipts of any month since the organization of the commission following the admission of Arizona to statehood.
 But the most remarkable comparison is found in the fact that the receipts from this single source come within $100 of paying the expenses of the commission for the biennium.
 This is only one of the sources of revenue of the commission. Another is the incorporating department which ordinarily turns in as much, and the third is the secretary's department whose collections for the year usually amount to about $6,000, derived from fees for certificates of corporation.
 The chief source of revenue from the insurance department is the tax of 2 per cent on the premiums collected by the insurance companies. About half this tax is retained by the state, the rest going to the cities and towns in which the premium collections are made.
 These figures indicate remarkable growth of the insurance business of Arizona.
