The determination of Police Com
missioner Charles d. Gather, of Balti
more city, to enforce the motor head
light law in that city, beginning Mon
day, will not mean the elimination OF
what is known as the spot light
providing, of course, the law is com
piled with. The same law applies to
Annapolis.
Certain lenses and bulbs must be
used on all lights showing on the
front of an automobile and the spot

than four candle-power may not be
used in a lamp equipped with plain
glass, and with l'mps fitted with the
specified lenses and bulbs 92-candle-

Justice Saylor, of the Traffic Court
Baltimore, said yesterday that he ex-
poets so many cases of violations of
the headlight laws next week that he
intends to hold morning sessions un-
til the docket is cleared. The law
contrary to popular belief. is not a
new one, having been enacted by the
Legislature of 1913. but it has not
been rigidly enforced. The violators

said that Secretary Daniels acted with
the approval of the President This
action was taken despite the fact thai
Barnett's active service does not ex-
pire until February, 1922.
This unprecedented move on the
part of Secretary Daniels comes with
apparent dramatic .suddenness, but il
is known that for some time Secre-

the removal of Gen. Barnett in or

Rev. James Lawrenson Smiley of An

lished another book under the titl'
Now is the Day of Judgment" Ike!

The book is a pamphlet of 12'
pages, in paper cover, from the Ex

The author in his "Foreword" says:
Colossal, therefore, must be the size
of the remedies"
The author further says in his fore
word: This book proposes to show
the way by an honest Interpretation
of the recent past, and and clear cut
plan for the immediate future, based
upon humanity's Magma Charitable
Holy Bible"
The author speaks of the World
War and tells of its costs to the
warning nations-200 billions of dol
lars. and the number of killed and
missing, he says, amounts to more
than all the men living in these
United States"
The author dwells upon "Civiliza-
tion's SINS" and says rs it any won
der that a great judgment has over
taken Christian governments?
A section of the book is devoted to
"proiteeringY and the Corruption OF

"The Churchman," of New York, and
the New York World. which says
among other things, among other

country is criminally guilty and until
we repent and stop these crimes lei
us not insult the Almighty by sing

Mr.. Smiley's book, Now is the Day
of Judgment" contains many truths

BAL LT|MORE EIGHTH
IN POPULATION NOW
Enormous Growth OF Detroit
And Cleveland In Past Ten
Years, Displaces Her
MICHIGAN CITY FOURTH

Despite Baltimore's rapid growth in
the past 10 years, during which the
population increased 314 per cent.
the enormous increase in the figures
just announced for Detroit and Cleve-
land caused 1t to fall from seventh
position among the leading cities OF
the country to eighth.
At the same time, all hope died
that Baltimore would this year re-
gain the ground lost to Cleveland in
the census of 1910.
Detroit has made one of the most
phenomenal jumps on record of the
Census Bureau. Advancing from
ninth place in 1910, it has displaced
even st. Louis as the fourth city in
the country, through a numerical in
crease and rate of growth larger tha-
Chicago's and second only to New
York during the last 10 years The
Automobile City's 1920 population is
993, ,739, an increase OF 527,973, or
1874 per cent.
Cleveland's population was an
nounced as 96,S36, as compared with
734,205.
How They Changed Places
The standing of the leading cities
of the country in the 1910 census was
as follows:
New York. Cleveland.
Chicago. Baltimore.
Philadelphia. Detroit
st. Louis. Pittsburgh.
Boston. Buffalo.
The standing of the leading cities
in the 1920 decennial census, based
upon figures already announced, is
as follows
New York. st. Louis.
Chicago. Boston.
Philadelphia. Baltimore.
Detroit. Pittsburgh.
Cleveland. Buffalo.
Cleveland's growth in the last year
is All per cent, as compared with
Baltimore's 314 per cent. The 1910
growth of Cleveland was ascribed
largely to an annexation measure, but
Baltimore itself has had an annexa-
ton since that census. territory be-
ing taken into the city limits there
which has a population of 1OO.544.
