AN employe forty years OF age, who
has been in the service fifteen years at
the time Of the enactment Of this plan
into law. would on retirement thirty
years hence. be, entitled TO receive an
annuity from the Government of 1.5 per
cent of his pay for each year of service
up TO the passage Of such a law. or D.
per cent plus the amount OF his own
savings from the time the law went
into effect until his retirement, after
thirty years. at the age OF seventy.
Suppose that this employe receives a
salary of 1920 per annum throughout
the term of his service. On retiring at
the age Of seventy. he would be en-
titled to an annuity of $50 for the re-
mainder Of his life, 500 from the Gov
ernment, or 15 per cent Of his salary
for the fifteen years he served prior to
the passage of the retirement law, ard
$40 as the annuity from his own saw

for every year of service aIter the

ing card signed 'PieIpon. Morgan. '

counting four Saturdays 20 the month,
ana come home with two days left 10
your credit.
The War Department insists upon &C
curacyr in all details and so regards
Saturday as a whole day. although IT
lasts only from 10 12.3O % o'clOck. It is
legally q whole day. in the opinion OF
the officials. and. in the opinion OF the
United States Congress. II IS legally a
haif-holiday. Sort Of catch-if-catch-can.
but it all comes in 20 the tune Of regu-
ularity and system.
1t was not known that this peculiar
condition existed until some Of the
clerks in the War Department took their
leave earlier in the season Upon their
return. instead of having the two days
coming to them which they had ex-
pected. from the last half Of the -four
Saturdays, they found that such was
not the case and that the days had been
counted up 10 the limit and had availed
them no more than any other day IN the
week
The other departments have taken a
more lenient view Of the situation. AMI
read the V-iU Of Congress so that IL
means a real instead OF a technical hals
holiday on Saturdays. Clerks in all the
other departments have the advantage.
therefore. over their associates in the
War Department.

Government Gives Annuity Only.

Under the plan submitted, the annu-
ity from the Government-the S270-would
have no cash surrender value. It could
be taken only as an annuity, and conld
only be obtained in case the emplCye
remained in the service until he reached
the age Of seventy. The $40. on the
other hand, which represents his own
savings, plus interest. could be con-
verted into the cash sum necessary TO
buy that annuity, $4OO7. He can always,
on leaving the service withdraw his
own money, Dut the contribution OF the
Government for services rendered prior
to the passage Of this act must always
be taken in the form OF an annuity
None Of these funds, whether the saw
ings OF the employe or the contribution
or the Government, will be subject to
attachment or any other legal process -
The purpose of Uncle Sam to engage
Ia the Insurance business, as some of
the employees express Il. for the benefit
OF his numerous official family is a
question of absorbing interest. and the
details Of the proposed plan so far given
TO the public have been eagerly read
and fully discussed. II is generally be-
lieved that action favorable to some
plan will result from the recommended
tions of the Keep Commission at the
next session Of Congress.

the city seen such an thrush Of peo-
pie from all parts Of the country.
While big percentage Of the cIty's

absence is more than made up for by
the crowd Of strangers here. This is
accounted for largely by the fact thar

Crowds at Money-Makers.

As 10 the number OF strangers IN
Washington, Deputy Director Ralph, Of
the Bureau OF Engraving and Printing,
says that for a week past the bureau
has averaged 200 visitors daily. This
number IS made up almost wholly Of
strangers. for WashingtOnian5 do not as
rule 60 sightseeing in their own city
II is reasonable TO suppose that not all
Of the strangers within the gates OF
the city visit the bureau. so that the
number who do go may be regarded as
a conservative estimate OF those who
come TO town each day.
Barring the absence OF Congress and
the hundreds that are in the city during
sessions, which is only about nine
months every two years, and the regu-
lar exodus Of the Diplomatic Corps and
winter residents there is really not 50
very much difference in the population
of Washington in the summer timA from
what il Is in the winter.

IS Per Cent on Leave.

The result OF careful estimates made
by the appointment divisions and chief
clerks in a number of Government de-
partments. shows that at the present
time, as nearly as can be estimated,
about Is per cent Of the Government
clerks in Washington are now on leave
Inc law requires that not more than -
per cent be absent at any one time The
hot weather, then. is keeping away from
their offices, about 1000 employees Of the
Government This does not mean that
all leave the city. There is no means
of determining just what percentage Of
this 1000 do go away, but most OF them
do.

of clerks of Government departments
now on leave, and the departments they
represent:
