eral figures being about 800
The heaviest losses occur III st,
Mary 5, Anne Arundel, Charles
and Baltimore counties. The dis
crepancy i'll Anne Arundel is
more than 5000, in st. Mary 5
about l,200, in Baltimore about
|, 800 and in Charles about 100.
The results in Kent County are
very interesting. and when the
figures are finally announced, it
Is said, there may be facts
brought to light that will compel
change in the system and
method Of taking Federal cen
suSes. Both Kent and Prince
Georges counties are 1000 short
of the Federal figures. Caroline,
Queen Anne'S ST. Mary'S Wicom-
leo, Dorchester and Hartford each
made Slight gains.
The increase in the Baltimore
city figures Is accounted for by
the fact that at the time of the
Federal census hundreds of peo-
pie were away on Vaca ions, and
other hundreds were in Anne
Arundel County picking berries.
The falling of i'll Charles. st.
Mary'S and Anne Arundel was
anticipated by the deyelopementS

lapse i'll the Kent County figures
was a surprise and may lead to

Max Adeler's New Stories.

Twenty-Five years ago. when

of the day, Max Adeler suddenly
ceased writing. For a quarter of
a century he was proof against
the Establishments Of editors, but
within few weeks he has com.
pleted a new series of humorous
stories which show him at his
best.
Tales of Old Turley, which will
appear in early numbers of the
Saturday Ereniag Post, are won
derfully droll stories of the quaint
characters in an old fashioned
country town before the war.
Local politics, school committee
fights, church squabbles and
women's clubs lend themselves
admirably to Max Adeler's hu
morous touch, and form the basis
OF some of the cleverest stories
that have been written for many
day.
