Explaining that all estimates as 70

icgitimately could be added.

those already on the books be increased
wherever just. but the Tax Department
will reach out after persons who hith-

TAX experts generally and all who
have studied the personal property tax
law as in force in this city agree that
IL IS bad and unscientifc," the Mayor
declared. at is often conhscatory, and
is easily evaded except by estates and
those least able to pay. Personal as

arrived at by gucsswOrk and without
scientific basis.
"The law, however. is on the books
and il is the duty Of the city admins
eaton 70 enforce Il until replaced by

scientific and equitable enforcement.
Meantime we all recognize that
many individuals and business houses

The city authorities were much
wrought up yesterday by the stand OF
the state officials that the value OF
bank shares should be added to the
on which the state tax IS

Polk protested to State Controller
Travis and argued why such shares
should be excluded.
He pointed out that if the value Of
bank shares were included in the as.
sessment it would mean the addition OF

New York City would have to pay 1910

points out, and he holds 1t would be

basis proposed.

The good old days Of pickles and
cheese for nursing infants will soon be
over in the Italian district. For the
little mothers are being taught sani-
tary care Of their charges in the pub
lie schools, and the big mothers will
learn from them that cleanliness is
godly thing and that cucumber with
a milk diet is a sin.
Miss Minnie Lucey, social worker
in the Italian district in Mon:clair, \.
j., conducts little mothers classes in
the Baldwin Street School, for which
she uses a model nursery. She demon
strates the best American methods of
clothing and bathing an infant, first
with life-szed baby doll and then
with real babies.
81 originated the idea of teaching
little mothers In this fashion," said
Miss Lucey, "in order to improve GER
tain conditions in the school which
cried out for remedy.
"The fear of taking cold, which many
Of the foreign mothers entertain in re-
gard 70 the external application of
water, causes some Of them to protest

in Sermaize had had a weeks rest in
the tranquil homes of the French peas
ants and bourgeoisie of the village.
They paid for their holiday and weeks
rest from fighting by burning the town
on the morning that they left il. Of
tn. 900 houses of Sermaize $50 were
utterly destroyed. Only forty houses
remained in the town with their roofs
on them. And not she'll fell on Ser
maize from either army, not shot was
fired in the streets.
Apremont is bombarded almost daily
by both French and Germans. One end
of it may be said to be held by the
French and the other end by the Ger
mans When the French guns begin a
bombardment the French soldiers creep
into their end Of the town. and the
Germans retirc from their end. The
reverse happens when the Germans fire.
Battlcfields Look Aged.
These are ruins not only of the day
but of the minute. ! saw wall IN
Apremont torn from its foundations,
heaved into the air and dropped upon
It's side, and when the smoke had
cleared away there was no fresh and
bleeding wound TO be observed. The
green fields closed in upon the town,
the white road ran through its centre,
the trees of lighter green gently
waved their branches above the newly
fallen wall and the solitude of the
battle ground lent its cloak of age TO
the latest wrought destruction.
On the way 70 the front ] saw an
other town that, except for one house,
had been wiped from the map. We left
l.
there by automobile northward TO Yer
dun. The war did not reach Bar-le-Duc
and we drank our coffee and consulted
maps very peacefully in little garden
off the quiet central square with no
signs of the war about save the officers
in uniform who went over the maps
with us and a park of Red Cross am
balances, waiting for orders.
The captain from the General staff
who was responsible for our welfare
was concerned chiefly that the coffee
should be good. He carries a title in
prjyate life, | believe, and is one of the
wealthiest men in France. but here he
was q captain in the army and French
gentleman who was extremely solicltous
for the comfort of party of neutral
journalists. The commandant, who was
TO be our local guide for the Verdun
sector. wore the Cross of the Legion OF
Honor. won in this war, and | under
stood that he was considered one of the
most capable of Frances artillery engi-
neers.
And we drank coffee under the trees
and remarked that La Valliere had for
saken the stage to sweeten the hours OF
the wounded in the hospitals. Il was
not very warlike. and one could not
really call il much more warlike when
we left Barbecue. For we soon left
the main road and struck of into the
country lanes. where we drove for
miles without need for sounding the
warning hooter.
