PENSION RELIEF
Grows More Needful AS
Science Expands Age

New York.-As the age of man is
prolonged by science, the need for an
old-age pension increases, according
to officials of the Association for inn
proving the condition of the poor.
Association officials state that
probably between Is and 20 per cent
of the people of this country over 65
are either wholly or partly depend
ent on others for support.
"The percentage of people 65 and
over has increased, according to the
United States census, from 2.8 per
cent of the population in 1850 to 4.6
per cent in 1920, an increase over Cd
per cent" the report said.
The statistical fact that the nor
NAL life span in the United States has
risen from approximately 40 years in
1850 to Sc in 1920, due chiefly to
scientific progress, is observed by the
report which says:
Population experts estimate that
this trend will steadily increase until
it reaches 9 or 10 per cent of the
population. 1t is obvious, therefore,
that old age is large and steadily
increasing problem"

IS O S" is A SIGNAL

Washington. R adio authorities
are deluged by inquiries as to the
meaning of the radio distress call let
ters "S o S." 1t is explained that
the letters have no meaning in them
selves, and that it is an error to sup
pose that they mean "Save Our Ship"
The letters were selected by the
international Radiotelegraph Confer
ence in London in 1912 because the
of three dots, three dash
es and three dots are so simple that
even the most inexperienced radio po
orator can detect them. Previously
the distress call was &C d O."

Bureau reached any conclusion as to
the effect of minimum wage laws on
the condition of women wage earn

able record" If the commissions

would give every woman a proper
standard of living, they "have GER
tainly improved conditions" the bu-
reau finds.
