The WEATHER BUREAU
Amendment to the Bill for Its Reorpania-
ton Proposed.
Kate OF Assessment to BE Increased
and Limit of Annuity
Decreased

When the bill to reorganize the weather
bureau and provide a retirement fund for
the clerks comes up in the House again
Chairman Wadsworth will probably move
10 amend the bill by increasing the rate of
assessment to 31s per cent and decreasing
the limit of annuity to 80 per cent
Prof. Moore Of the weather bureau and
chairman Wadsworth have made an actu-
ary's table, showing the probable workings
Of the bill and the amounts which would
be realized. This shows that. emitting re-
tired officers and enlisted men of the army
and navy, there are Geo employees in the
weather bureau receiving $500 or more Der
annum and their average salary is $1,000
per annum. At per centum the average
per annum assessment will be $50 and for
compulsory retirement at sixty-five years of
age the average per annum salary at 20
per centum will be $500. The per annum
revenues at ) per centum will be $4,000.
For Twenty-Five Years
The amount paid to the retirement fund
at per cent being $4,000 per annum for
twenty-five years from July l. 80. to June
80, 1928. would be s4J0,ooo and the amount
credited to retirement fund by assessments
at ) per cent for ten years after retirement
OF those who go on the retirement roll
during the first ten years would be $3.50.
making a total of si5S.2Jo The expenses
for twenty-five years would be as follows:
BY retirement at siXty-five years SS54 900;
retirements for disability. s47.2J0: by deaths
before reaching the age of siNty-fiye
S4l,S35 a total of si430S5. The surplus on
hand June 30 1925, would be SIS. 165 If the
assessment was at the rate of :Sla per cent
the surplus would be $4,000, and if at 4
per cent would be s153 600.
Fixing the Annuities.
These estimates based on amending
the bill so as to fix the annuities at 20 per
centum after ten years service for disa-
bility 30 per centum for retirement after
thirty years service. 80 per centum at
sixty years of age and thirty years service,
% per centum for compulsory retirement
al sixty-five years of age, 80 per centum of
money to be refunded at death before re-
tirement.

arrer an unsuccessful applicS ION for
orders in 20 places thoroughf Ntired,
for she had walked a good many miles,
and the streets were running over with
mud and snow.
She counted over her money and for
the first time realized that she had
reached the end. She was determined
not to run In debt. although her land
lady In the fiat had been very kind.
She went down to little newsstand
on the corner and bought an evening
paper and looked over the wilderness
of wants" and wondered how in
city like that any one ever found any
thing to do. She envied the butchers
boy who was just coming out Of mar
ket near by and thought Of asking him
how he managed to get his position
while so many boys Were probably
without any.
She took the paper to her room and
finally settled on one advertisement as
Offering possible chance for her.
She had made up her mind for sew
eral weeks that she could not make a
living by retouching.
"lu do it," she said, with a faint
flush Of color in her face. II wonder
what mother would sayw
The advertisement was as follows:
wANTED.-An American girl to do cooking and
general housework. Wages satisfactory. Apply.
with references. to - Ellis avenue.
"lf l can get 81 week with my
board, ! can save nearly every cent of
it," said Faith resolutcly. And moth
er taught me how to cook. | am sure
1t Is as honorable way to earn liv.
ing as working in u store"
There was a bit of adventure in it
also that attracted her. The thought
of Dorothy Gilhert's daughter work
ing out as a "hired girl gave Faith
something of a surprise at herself, but
1t was part of her love of expert
ments that made possible the strange
experience she was now about to know.
She went to the studio early Mon
day morning and secured good refer
ences. For the rest she said she would
frankly ask the people to try her for
week at least and then employ her for
what she could do.
She took Cottage Grove avenue car
and went directly to the number on
Ellis avenue. 1t was n large house,
with veranda on three sides. She
went around to the side entrance and.
mounting the steps, rang the bell, her
heart trembling little as she did so.
