Benefit Recognized Abroad.

The benefit of retirement for super
annuaticn has been recognized in
other countries as well as by many
private corporations in this country.
Great Britain has had superannuatio
laws for its civil service since 1884. At
first the contributory system was used.
but this proved so unsatisfactory that
Great Britain has paid 10 her super
animate postal employees straight pen
sions. running from one-siXth of their
salary for ten years service to -wo-
thirds o: their salary for forty years
service Since 1909, in addition to
pension. gratuity is granted in
lump sum equal to one-thirtieth of
their annual salary multiplied by the
number of completed years served. not
to exceed one and half times q years
salary. The estimated cost for 1909
1910 for pensions and gratuities of the
post Office service in Great Britain was
fSf9.o00. Among other foreign govern
ments providing for retirement on an
nuities of their civil servants are
Austria. Belgium. Denmark. France,
Netherlands, Norway. Portugal and
Russia. Since 1904. Argentina has had
a general civil employees pension sys-

What Corporations Have Done.

LAT the annual meeting of the Ma
January, a report. which may be found
in the Congressional Library. was made
by William X. Wilcox ex-postmaster of
New York city, which summarizes what
the business corporations of this coun-
tTy have done in the way of retire
ment Of their employees on pensions. Of
the ffty-fve retirement systems in OPP
Grafton in the United States reporting
In only six cases do employees contrib
ute to the retirement fund. In all 9TH
or cases the corporations contribute
the entire fund. Mr.. WILCOX SAYS To-
dav great corporations. such as the
American Telephone and Telegraph
Company. the Edison Company, the
American Tobacco Company. the Amer
lean Sugar Refining Company, the In
ternational Harvester Company, the
United States Steel Corporation and
others in many lines of industry, pay
ing higher wages than the government
TO the same classes of men, give a free
pension after a certain number Of
wears OF service"
All these corporations provide the
pensions without contribution from the
employees. Examples Ike the above may
he greatly multiplied. bu, these are Sc
lscted ~ random merely to indicate the
panies provide for approximation. II
has been said by the opponents Of the
hill under consideration that those pri-
T&'e companies pay these pensions out
Of their profits. Tho same would be
true Of the Post Once Department
enough TO defray all the expenses of a
retirement system. which would do
Justice to aged employees while improv-
Ing the efficiency OF the service.

Not in District Troop.

Mr. johnson thought that the boy
Nigh. have enlisted in the cavalry
troop of the District National Guard,
and accordingly lost no time IN Visit,
ing the camp at Fort Myer. Va he
was told that no one having the name
of his son had enlisted in the troop.
Thinking that his son may have given
an assumed name when he took out mis-
enlistment papers. Mr.. Johnson spent
several hours in the company streets
on the lookout for his son, but falled
to snd him.
Mr. johnson has been unable to learn
of any cavalry troops which nave
passed through Alexandria. Va, within
the past few DAYS. There are no camps
of Virginia militia in this section, the
militia concentration camp for the
state being at Rio hmond. Mr.. Johnson
has sent word to this camp, and also
to the Maryland militia camp at Ltu-
rel Md. asking that a search be made
for his son.

Little Done to Perpetuate Memory.

Contrary to popular opinion there
fore. ii is seen that the Declaration
was not signed July 4. the day it
passed, but between August >, 1776
and January is. 1771. after it had been
engrossed and compared. and then by
only fifty-hve members, all of whom
were ordered to do so by the resolu-
ton passed July 10. 1915. The name of
Thomas Mexican, which does not APP
pear among the signers in the printed
copy, was added later-possibiy not
until 17s1-making the fifty sixth
signer.
But little has ever been done to per-
petuate the memory of these fifty-siX
