PENSION BUREAU SHOWS
LESS PENSIONERS BUT
GREATER PENSIONS

Washington Oct ga statistical
review of the U. S. Pension office Just
prepared by the Department of the In
terror discloses some very interesting
facts.
There are 539,756 persons on the
penison rolls OF the government today.
Twenty years ago there were esa,443.
The average soldier pension today is
s44.47 per month. and the average pen
sion for dependents today is s2925.
Twenty years ago the average sold
ier's pension was $11.34 per month and
the average dependents pension as
$10.11. The total amount Of money
paid out for pensions for the fiscal
year Just ending was 1858 3.o12,50o. and
increase OF $9.204 900 over the prev
ious year. The total OF appropriations
to run the Pension bureau twenty
years ago was $l47.s94.440.
Twenty years ago there were LIZ
employees in the Pension bureau. To-
day there are only s55 employees in the
Pension bureau.
Twenty years ago the death rate OF
pensioners, Including both soldiers and
dependents was 1871 q year. Today
the death rate is 37.145 q year. Dur
ing the 20-year period 653.s57 SOL
d3ers and 33S.426 dependents being
carried on the rolls have died.
There are ~ Mexican war veterans
and 1886 widows OF Mexican war vet
erans still drawing pensions. There
are 10 widows OF veterans of the " ar
Of 1912 stfii on the pension rolls.
Striking evidence OF the passing of
the Grand Army Of the Republic Is
furnished by the pension records. Dur.
ing the last year the number of Civil
war veterans drawing pensions was
decreased 25.250 by death. The mum.
ber now on the pension rolls is 16s.-
623. During the same period the,e
was a reduction of 1914 in the num-
ber Of widows OF Civil war veterans
drawing pensicls The number OF
such now on the pension rolls is 1884,
$50.

New Chemical Element.

Two Danish scientists, DR.. G.. Hevesy
and DR.. d. Coster, working at the city
Of Copenhagen, have announced the
discovery of a new chemical element
which they call "hafnium."
Hafnium was discovered by means of
its X-ray spectrum. 1t occupies, the
Danish scientists believe, one Of the
six vacant places long known to exist
the list of the chemical elements.
Strange to say, this latest recruit
among the chemical elements seems to
be quite common In the world. Doc
tors Hevesy and Coster think there Is
more of 1t in the earth's crust than
there is of gold.-Popular Science
