Pension Ruling. A new ruling of the pension depart ment at Washington provides that hereafter a widow cannot receive a pen sion unless she marries the man "prior to or during the military or naval ser vice of tho veteran on account of whose servlod the pension Is asked orclalmed." In other words, a woman who mar ries a viteran after ho has performed the service for which ho miiy claim a pension cannot herself obtain a pension on his death. . Tho new law further provides that In tho future tho widow In order to pot a ticnslon must have lived from the tlmo of the mar riage with the veteran until the time of his death, which will shut off divorced women from claiming pension as they now do.
