BRANCHING OUT The fact that it is the only insurance organization in the world which scientifically worked out the amount necessary to pra tect the salaried incomes of its members in sick, accident anc funeral benefit departments is believed to be the chief cause for the remarkable grow’th o! the Railwaymen’s Relief Assc ciation of America during the past year. The organization with its Supreme Division a* Muskegon, Michigan, is branch ing out steadily in the Centra States and now boasts a membership of 15,000 on more thar fifty roads. The Railwaymen's Relief Asso ciation increased its membershir 34 percent in 1922, a total ol 3.543 members having been taken in. The increase in the sick, accident and funeral benefit department was more than 3,00 C proving the contention of the organization’s supreme president, George R. Murray, that the doctrine of universal brotherhood, that of Christianity, by which a man is ever ready to help lift up his fallen brother, is being realized more and more by the American people. Memberships taken out in the Life Department of the Association last year numbered 478, also an increase over the business of the preceding year. The Railwaymen’s Relief Association took a decided forward step wdien its board of directors voted to safeguard doubly the members of its Life Department by re-insuring their entire liability. This deal was consumated recently by one of Michigan’s strongest and fastest growing companies. By virtue of this arrangement, the associations financial standing will remain unaffected by a number of deaths which might result from an epidemic, accident or some other cause, inasmuch as the Association will in turn collect from the company with which its policies are re-insured. This arrangement is common among insurance companies, but not so customary among fraternal organizations. The Association was organized in 1906 and incorporated in 1910. In 1920 the Life Department was organized. This department, alone, boasts a membership of approximtaely 1,000. The association is the fifth in size among the 16 orders incorporated under the fraternal insurance laws of Michigan. Os 53 organizations doing business in the state, but nine have larger incomes tharf the Railwaymen's Relief Association. Mr. Murray, the organizer, has watched the Association widen its scope of activities through its 17 years, and is chiefly responsible for its success. GROWTH OF RADIO INDUSTRY A little more than a year ago many of °the old established manufacturers of radio apparatus were wondering how they would dispose of their stock. Many dealers were just making a bare living at selling radio apparatus. Just about 300,000 radio amateurs scattered throughout the United States constituted the field for sales of radio goods and apparatus. Since then a great chrnge has taken place. Radio his come upon the country as a tide. Old apparatus, instruments manufactured under patents 15 years old, ordinary double slide crystal detector sets were becoming immensely popular. It is said that there are almost 600 incorporated manufacturers of ratio apparatus in the United States today. It is impossible to estimate the number of dealers. There are some two or three million fans who have bought and installed radio receiving sets. These sets receive music and other broadcast matter from some 500 or more broadcasting stations located in every state in the Union. Every state but one has one or more stations, and some states have as many as 20. With the establishment of more solid radio regulations, with the advent of fair competition and intelligent manufacture of radio apparatus of good design the infant radio baby is growing lustily. « : o- * ■ DIES OF HICCOUGHS Kansas City, March 3.—-Charles Tewson, 57, died today after suffering from hiccoughs more than 100 hours.

It included 883,072 square miles. The purchase was made from Napoleon (who by-the-wa.y had no right to sell it) and the Federalists who opposed the deal dijd so on the ground that the price was too high. Parties of explorers soon entered the newly acquired territory. The Missouri was ascended in keel boats and pirogues; and as they passed La Charette, Daniel Boone, a very old man, watching their difficult progress. They saw parrakeets where Kansas City was to follow; and at Council Bluffs they first met the Indians, under an awning formed by the mainsail.
