MORE THAN 2S,o0o HAVE
 BIRTHDAY CELEBRATION
This Number of Persons in En9land and Wales Were Born on
 IHnv@Year -es -s,,g,..- 2

London. Feb. 29 R-More than 2s,000 citizens of England and Wales today celebrated their first birthday in four years. it was disclosed at the British recorders office. Everyone seems to have proflted by leap year except spinsters and convicts.
 Despite Great Britain's two mill ion surplus women, government sta tics show so few availed themselves of the traditional privilege of pro- posing on leap year. that the mar riage rate for the first two months of 1928 is far lower than in an or dinary year.
 The extra day added to the calen- dar by Pope Gregory in 1882 only meant another day of Imprisonment for the British convicts. On the oth- CT hand. February 20. brought an additional days pay to British sol diers and sailors. Season ticket hold CTS to the London subways rode free all day. Apartment dwellers with a years lease got a days rent for nothing.
 Advance bookings at the hotels and night clubs showed that the day was regarded almost like New Years eve. All night life centers are hold. ing special leap year revels at which the women order the cocktails. the 1 dinner and the wine and ask the men to dance. The women also foot the bills and tip the walters. Only wines of leap year vintageS are served.

BL0DGETT CALLS TAX
 CONFERENCE IN MARCH
Plan to Discuss Tax Lien Law Passed by Last
 General Assembly

Hartford, Feb. 20 (R A state wide conference of tax collectors is to be called during March by State Tax Commissioner William H. Blodg- cit to discuss the tax lien law pass ed by the last general assembly which increased interest rates on de- linQuent property taxes. MT. Blodgett has had many and varied inquiries about the law, and ill view of the general indication that tax collectors have not yet real ized the scope of the law it is deem- cd by him a necessary move to have the conference. Misuse of the old law is held responsible for the new one, the commissioner says.
 Tax payers will be better served | by the new law if tax collectors re- quire it's prompt payment. If lax in their collection duties the collectors may find the law troublesome to them. he added.
 The rate of interest charged under
 the new law is 9 per cent for the
 first six months following the due
 date of the tax; 10 per cent for the
 next six months or until the lien cer- tificate is recorded and 12 per cent
 from that date until the tax is paid
