The committee reported that
acturial calculations placed the
pension cost so high for the year
1880 that the problem must be
re-examined in search of means
to reduce estimated government
contributions in that year. Sound
! financing, it was explained, re-
quires simultaneous establishment
of a compulsory annuity system
!; to reduce the cost of the forego-
ing pension system.
Compulsory contributory annui-
ties: The committee recommended
a compulsory assessment of one
per cent against payrolls to be
divided equally between employ
ers and employees. The rate would
be increased by one per cent
every five years until it reached
a maximum of five per cent at
the end of 20 years. The system
would include all manual and non
manual workers earning less than
$3.50 month except employees of
governmental units and perso:6
covered by the United States
Railroad Retirement Act.
EXPECT RECEIPTS TO
EXCEED EXPENDITURES
Receipts are expected to exceed
expenditures to an extent that
will make government contribu-
tions unnecessary during the first
80 years the plan is in operation.
In launching the plan the COM
mittee said it would be necessary
to pay reasonably adequate an
nuities" on retirement to persons
now middle aged or older who
cannot in the few remaining years
of their industrial life accumulate
a substantial reserve.
The tax assessment against en-
ployes and employers would be
dedicated through the latter and
they would be entitled to deduct
the employees share from wages
due. Actuarial estimates placed
the reserve figure when federal
contributions would begin at $15,-
Benefits would not be paid un-
til the system had been receiving
contributions for five years. They
would not be paid to any person
who had made fewer than 200
weekly contributions nor to any
person under the age of 65.

Danger From Lightning

The number OF persons killed by
lightning Is very small In comparl-
son with the total number Of fatal
ties due to accidents. In the Unit
ed States, the census reports show
an annual average of about 500
lightning fatalities, While in a re
cent year there were more than co.
600 fatal accidents Of all kinds. The
actual danger from lightning is, In
general, very slight, except under
certain circumstances OF exposure
out Of doors, which, as rule, can
be avoided. Within buildings of
considerable size and dwelling
houses of modern construction cases
Of death or injury by lightning are
relatively rare.

To Aid the Blind

There were several systems OF
leading for the blind in existence
before the invention Of Braille. The
earliest authentic records OF tan
gible letters for the blind were In
vented by francesca Lucas, a Span
lard. In 1910 a wr5cing master I'D
Paris cast a Movable leaden type
for their use. Valentine Hauy was
the first to embOss paper as means
OF reading for the blind. Al the
beginning of the Nineteenth centur,
% different methods Of embossed
printing were in existence. Well
known types besides Braille were
the Moon type, Invented by Doctor
Moon of Brighton In 1S47; Freres
