F.-Calculation of quantities (or tabular results) for ages

not given in the tables.

TABLE A.-The quantities are given for every age of the hus- band from 15 to 64; and for every fifth age of the wife from 15 to 65. Ages of husbands and wives below or beyond are to be treated as the youngest and oldest ages given respectively.

For the intermediate ages of wives, interpolate by the first differences, as follows-

To find the quantity corresponding to the ages of a husband

and wife aged, respectively, 35 and 27 next birthday—

[CAP. 94

The quantity for ages 35 and 25 given in the

Table is

.482.

The quantity for ages 35 and 30 given in the

Table is

.507.

So that the addition of five years to the age of the wife results in an addition of .025 to the quantity given in the Table for ages 35 and 25.

An addition of two years to the age of the wife accordingly results by proportion in an addition of two-fifths of .025 to the quantity given in the Table for ages 35 and 25. Two-fifths of .025 = .01, which added to .482 gives .492 which is the required quantity corresponding to ages 35 and 27.

TABLE B. This Table is divided into eleven sections, respec- tively, applicable to officers who will be aged next birthday 55, 56, 57

up to 65, when they complete their period of con- tribution. Care should in all cases be taken to turn to the section which contains in the heading the age of the husband at the date of completion of his period of contribution.

In each section the quantities are given for 35 consecutive ages of the husband, terminating at the age preceding that at which the contribution ceases, and for every fifth ages of the wife from 15 to 65.

Ages of the wife below or beyond are to be treated as the youngest and oldest ages given, respectively. For the intermediate ages of wives interpolate by first differences as explained above. Thus, the quantity found from the first section of the Table (age 55) corresponding to the ages of a husband and wife aged respectively 45 and 38 next birthday is three-fifths of .18, added to 2.39, which gives 2.50.

For officers who commence to contribute at an earlier age than 20 next birthday the method of calculation given in the subjoined examples is to be followed-

EXAMPLE (1)

An officer aged 17 next birthday, having a wife aged 15 next birthday, commences to contribute. Assume that the officer is aged 20 next birthday, so that the quantity found from Table B will be 8.30.

This officer receives an increment of salary at age 22 next birth- day, when his wife's age is 20. Assume that his age is 25 next birth- day-i.e., his actual age 22-plus the difference between his actual age at entry and 20, which is three years. The quantity found from Table B will be 7.00
