the growth of language is very slow,
1t is thought that the fact of the
existence Of SO great variety of

proves that the native red men have

years. Another proof of the antiquity
OF the American Indians, according to
some authorities, is the fact that they

the formation Of such a type requires
thousands of years.

Com
pensatiOn Service

The creation of an Adjusted Com
pensation Service with Major 0. W.
Clark in charge, was announced to-
day by General Frank T. Hines, direc-
tor of the United States Veterans
Bureau.
The new Service will handle all of
the duties falling on the Veterans
Bureau as the result of the passing
Of the Adjusted Compensation Act.
1t will be charged with issuing the
adjusted service certificates and max
ing the cash payments called for by
that Act.
Director Hines has estimated that
$127 100000 will be expended by the
Veterans Bureau under the Act the
first year. This figure was submitted
to the Director of the Budget yester-
day. 1t is estimated that the cost of
administration alone during the first
year will total $1,1S8,O00. Approx
mately $S,000,000 will be needed for
cash payments.
General Hines stated that he ex-
pected to utilize the present organiza-
ton of the Veterans Bureau in the
field to the fullest extent possible in
carrying out the provisions of the Ad-
justed Compensation Act. He advis-
ed all veterans to keep in touch with
their local postoffces and with ex-
service organizations and newspapers
in order that they might learn ex-
actly how to proceed in getting their
claim taken care of. The details of
procedure have not as yet been APP
proved.
The appointment of Major Clark to
take charge of the new Service left
the Rehabilitation Division without
chief. This vacancy has been filled
by the promotion of Mr.. HI. v. Stir
ling, who had been executive officer
of the Rehabilitation Division.

improvement. or be a party in carry
ing on such works; but whenever
grants of land or other property shall
have been made to the state, espec-
tally dedicated by the grant to par

ment, the state may carry on such
particular works, and shall devote
