CURIOUS TAXES OF OLD DAYS
Those Of Holland Among the Most
Quaint Of Which Any Record Has
Been Left.

The archives of Holland contain
ordinances which may well be regard
ed us curiOsities of taxation. In the
year 1O8e there was q tax imposed
Oh all passengers travelling in Holland
by land or water. In 1901 this tux
was still in force. In 1914 duty OF
twopence-halfpenny was levied on
each person who entered tavern be-
fore noon. Persons who assembled In
a private house after three O'clock In
the afternoon for the purpose Of anus
ing themselves had each to pay GER
tain sum, and those who entered
place of entertainment were likewise
taxed. There was duty on mar
riages and deaths. The amount OF
the tax varied according to The social
position of the pal ties, while in the
case of person buried outside of
the district in which he lived the
amount payable by his executor was
doubled.
But the most curious tax of all was
one imposed in 1874 on boots and
shoes. In order to prevent the inpost
from being evaIed, each Of those ar
ticles so essential to human comfort
had to be ccnspicuously marked on
the upper leather with the stamp of
the maker, and also with that Of the
taxing officer. The sum to be paid
was regulated by the size of the boot
or shoe, so, apart froEl the question Of
beauty, in those days it was real
advantage to have Il small foot. It
saved eXpenSe.-Lon,lon Tit Bi.s.

Or Floor and Field With
School Athletic Followers
Dy SCHOLASTIC.

What appears TO be another tempest
in a teapot Is brewing in scholastic
athletic circles. 1t Was learned yester-
day hat the recent suggestion OF the
games committee OF the Public Schools
Athletic League 20 restore baseball AS a
championship sport In the high schools
had not been approved by several MEM
bers OF the Principals Association.
At its meeting in October the games
committee announced It's intention OF re-
storing baseball on II championship
basis. The schoolboys waNed enthusi-
astic over the scheme. as the sport since
1913 had not been recognized as tltular
competition. A schedule of games for
a tournament had been drawn up n
II was to a been adopted at last
Tuesdays meeting OF the games COM
mittee. II appears hat certain members
OF the Principals Association objected 10
the proposition. believing 1t would ere
ate a tendency toward professionalism.
As not all the principals were avoTse
to the plan letters were sent yester-
day to all the principals requesting their
views on the subject. The answers to
ment will he made at the February
meeting OF the m committee. Rob
ert j. Shearer Of Commercial High
School is chairman OF the Subcommittee
on baseball.
