"Phe Beeais “§* Matter, Pop?’’ Dont You DARE To Do Thi Giveg YES You! Tyst You Git I—A WORD OF ADVICE e Seat © , For Old Age. By Mies M. Dawson. (Copyright, 1912, by The Press Publishing Co, (The New York World), Private Provision for Old Age in the United States. most important private provision in the United States for the de- Pendent old is the support supplied by relatives. As has elready been seen, investigation has shown that in Massachusetts of the aged classed as “non-dependent poor” 36.1 per cent. of the support of the a individual males comes ¢rom relatives, 67 per cent. of that of individual femiites, 2 per cent. of the support of aged couples and 12.4 per cent. of the sup- ort of aged couples with others dependent upon them. Wo\doubt this applies, though in different degrees, throughout the country, @R4 It fe nate to say that nearly or quite half the provision for the aged poor ‘who are not cared for by public or private charity te afforded by relatives, As the number of persons sixty-five years of and over in Massachusetts was Given as 177,000, and 195,783 were classed as “non-<lependent,” one-half the pro- viston for these would be a little less than # per cent. of the provision for all, if afforded upon the game scale. Other important private provisions for the dependent old have been devel- Med in the United States as follows, vis.: ‘Through labor organizations, These, according to the report of thé Com- Wiestoner of Labor of 198, paid in superannuation benefits $19,618.05 in one Year, and in permanent disalility benefits, a part of which no doubt was, for OM age disability, $64,775. The superannuation dencfite were very low. For i ince, $7 per month between 6 and 70, $3 per bi) tweet WP td 80, and $10'per month beyund the age of 8 in the Cigarmakets' termakdndl UAlon! $12 per month beyond the age of 6, and $16 per nfonth beyond the age of @# in the International Jewelry Workers; not to exceed $0 per month in the Brotherhood of | Locom »tlve Engineers; $10 per month for not more then x months in any one year after reaching the age of 62 in the Granite Cutters’ International Association; {4 per week in the International Typographical Union for dependent members hbeybnd the age of 60. Some notion of the total relief {s afforded by the following total payments within one year: Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers, $4,898; International ‘Typographical Union, $106,740, The fraternal beneficiary associations do something in supplying relief in eveht of total and permanent disability, By the laws of the various States old age benefits Must not commence before the age of 70. They are usually for one- tent the amount of the certificate each year for ten years. 3 {x well sald by Mr. Squier, *‘Measured by actuarial standards, many these soctetion in the past have operated un rates: which were inadequate “ever for death benefits.” ‘The tendency as these societies get over on sound plans and with adequate rates I to reduce or abolish these benefits rather than to make the very con- siderable addition to their rates which would be necessary. Few of the young Cand active set a suMictently ‘high value upon this old age provision. In conse- Iquénce its attraction does not to thelr minds offset a material increase in the rates for Ife insurance. Beveral of the great transportation ¢ompanies have made provision for re- tiring employees upon pensions, usually at the age of & or 70, but at a younger ag@, usually not under 60, upon proof of total and permanent disabfiity. The Balti- moré and Ohio Railroad was the pioneer, introducing this system in 18%. In the year ending June %, 1910, it paid $157,273.81 in penstone to 067 pensioners. The QMicago and Northwestern, Pennsylvania, Wilnois Central, Delaware, Lacka- wanna and Weastern, Philadelphia and Reading, Southern Pacific, Atlantic Coast Iimé, Atchison, Topeka and Salita Fe, the Chicago, Rock Island and Pacific, New York Central and Hudson River, the Gault Ste. Marte, the New York, New Haven and Hertford and other companies hee since adopted pension @ of a similar type. ‘The Pennsyivania is now paying tn pensions about $800,000 a year, this being rauch the largest aggregate for a single company. The New York Cefitral has “y WE T is not to dear old Grandma who tells what they did in the ol nor the Mamma who tri I having piles of moncy to spend and being able toego about unchap id days, to help Bessie by years of her own erperi- ence, or Auntic who tells her to rule Bob and MAKE him do what she wants, nor to Sister who thinks that the joya of réwriage consist of eroned, The June Bride #& @ SAYS +88 GonnA GIT AN nor to her burly big Brother (who flercely snaps between closed teeth, “If hy doesn't just worship you let Me know about it!"—not to any of these does she listen, but to a soft, low whisper near her heart—to Love's dictates and advice she listens—and she heeds.
