STAMF0RD'S TAX METHODS SCORED
System Used There Is Called
 Antiquated

Stamford, Sept. 3 A report on the tax situation in Stamford has been submitted by John R. Donahue of Hartford, a member of the staff Of State Tax Commissioner William II. Blodgett, who was given leave Of a absence by MT. Blodgett to investi- gate tax assessments and collection methods in this city,
 The tax question in Stamford which city complains of having the highest rate in the state, has been a source of much concern since last October, when. during the heat of political fights, charges were made of inequalities.
 The last session of the legislature authorized the appointment of commission to investigate the situa- ton, and there is also special in vestigating committee appointed by Mayor Alfred \. Phillips, Jr. These committees have been working more or less in harmony MT. Donahue took Up the investigation here upon recommendation of Thomas Llnder, tax expert of New Britain, who studied the situation here.
 Mir. Donahue's report from study of random examples of taxable pro perty in the town and city of Stam- ford seems to indicate that there exist on the tax lists of the town wide inequalities of appraisal.
 It appears that Stamford has out grown it's present method of taxa tion. which the assessors have been forced to operate under because Of the incompleteness of the equipment, tools and personnel at their con- mand. The need of scientific re- appraisal of the taxable property in both the town and city, and up-to- date equipment and records ls stressed in the report.
 Probably within 60 days. the local tax commission will have completed the various lines of investigation that it has under way. and will present its findings and make its recommen- dstions to the board of selectmen, for which 1t has undertaken the work

Enelanki's Birth Rate At Lowest Mark.

The birth rate in England and Wales has now fallen below that of France. With the exception Of Swe- den, it is the lowest of the principal European countries according to the Registrar General
 The birth rate for 1926, was 17s per 1000 population. Excepting the rate of 11.7 in 1918. the last year of the war, which at that time was regarded as phenomenally low, that for 1926 is the lowest recorded since the establishment of civil regis tration in this country.
 In view of the continued decline during the first half of the current year, it is probably that the rate for 1927 will be lower than that for 1915

PRINCIPAL SHADES ATHLETIC VIEWS
Believes in School Rivalry, But
 Not in AniInosity
Struggling and battling his way

Struggling and battling his way 1 through the opposing forces on the football field. playing at killing pace on the basketball floor, and burning h the hot sun on the base ball field, disgusted. sick at heart and with every bit of his system both mentally and physically rebellins against it, the high school or college athlete keeps going for he is afraid of being considered yellow When situation such as that described in the foregoing para graph takes place in a high school then athletics has no place in the school and the principal should not sanction athletics in school, Princi- pal Louis P. Slade believes, he de clared in an interview.
 II is Mir. Slade's opinion that when a boy is being exploited for the en- tertainment of the school and the community, he is not getting the physical and moral benefit from SPOi tS anu tilti 'llS lllEl lui pose for which the contests are held is lost.
 The steady trend of the times is toward competition within the school rather than inter school con- petition, Mir Slade thinks He is in sympathy with high school athletics and believes that they should be en- couraged by direction and influence on the part Of the faculty.
 The practice of planning 3 large athletic contest, which will have wide interest. and expect the boy to fall in with the plan whether or not he isinterested is also matter which Mfr. Slade dislikes to encourage.
 He is of the opinion that inter school competition is over-empha- sized and that the scheduling Of great number of contests is not a good practice. He favors fewer games. but would not care 10 have the annual game with Hartford abandoned He believes that the feeling between the Hartford and New Britain High schools is friend lv although the communities may not have the same feeling.
 Every effort is made 10, keep from scheduling games with schools whose teams have followers who will bring about an alteration with the New Britain spectators the principal asserted He does not like 10 encourage rivalry with any ex- cept the New Haven and Hartford High school team which, with New Britain, make up the membership of the triangular league. Coach Cassidy has this in mind when he schedules games with a different team after a few years of competition.
 New Britain High school never claims a state championship and is not competing for any state honors, the only objective being to win the triangular pionship, the prin- cipal said.
 The school Is an educational in stitution and when athletics have an adverse effect on the moral and physical being of the boy, his edu- cation is being neglected Mir. Slade believes.

French Hunters Discuss Degrees Of PoliteneSs

Just how polite one ought 10 be IS debated, even in France.
 A new discussion has been arous- ed by the obsequious tone of a form that hunters must sign if they wish a license in the Cher Department, in central France.
 Monsieur le Prefect: I hay. the honor to solicit, through your kind ness" etc, runs the preamble of the form. It concludes: And I ask you to accept the expression Of my great respect"
 A Frenchman doesn't have 10 de pend on an officials kindness" for a hunting license, comment some critics, and he doesn't have to show any great respect" but merely conventional, decent politeness.
 Some suggest that the prospective hunter ought merely to write: T the undersigned, ask for hunting license" etc.

Others say it is impossible 10 conduct the official business of a wedding ceremony in the deafen- ing noise Of motors.
