thirteenth census, given out The re-
turns are made known in advance OF
the regular order, so as TO permit ar
rangements for the elections, which
are dependent on the number of in

Ten years ago the population of
Michigan was 2.420,9S2. the gain
shown being $780, 1871, or 1911 per cent.
During the preceding decade the gain
was 327, O93. or 1876 per cent. The
greatest gain has been In the cities,
Detroit helping out the total state

crease of 63 per cent, or 1S0.602
Other cities showing notable increases
have been Bay City. Flint, Grand Rap

While there has been increase in
the rural sections as a whole, several
counties show decreases. The growth
of manufacturing In the state is given
as the reason for the great impetus

900 men and women in a fever heat
of excitement for more than four
hours. Ralph milford. driving a Log
zier. smashed worlds records and
won the great Elgin National trophy

hour
Thirty-six times the blond driver
circuited the rough course of country
roads-a course of eight miles 2,499
feet. or. roughly, eight and one-half
miles-with but single stop. And
this stop was made under his mis-
taken impression that tire was in
danger of slipping from the rim.
The remarkable feature of Null
ford's run lies in the fact that he
approached within three-tenths of a
mile the maximum average in the
classic Vanderbilt cup event of a
year ago. That such run could be
made on country roads. with prac-
tically no preparation and for much
greater distance than that of the
Vanderbilt cup race, is looked upon
by experts as little short of mar
