CENSUS ADDS ONE VOTE TO
HOUSE
General Assembly OF Maryland
Gains Two And Loses
One Member

An increase of one vote in
the rural majority in the House
of Delegates of the General AS
sembly will be brought about
by the official confirmation of
the State wide census, which
now places the total population
of Maryland at 1,625,279.
This addition of a county
vote will bring the number of
members of the House Of Del
egates to 119, giving the rural
delegates a majority of thirty
seven over the city.
Under the provision of the
State constitution it shall be
the duty of Governor Richie,
as soon as the county and
State wide figures for the 1880
census are confirmed by the
Census Bureau at Washington,
to declare by proclamation that
one additional member of the
House shall be elected in Mont
gomery and Prince Georges
county.
At the same time, though not
specifically stated in the Con-
stitution, he will take the prop
er steps to have the representa-
ton of Caroline county de-
creased by one delegate, be-
cause of a decline of 1,267 in
POPULATION, according to the
census.
Under the existing law, how
ever, Baltimore, with a total
population of S01,7 has and
can have only thirty-six repre-
sentatives in the House Of Del
egates, or six from each Legis-
lative district.
This allows, approximately
one member of the House of
Delegates for every 22,270
persons. Calvert county has
the smallest population of any
of the twenty-three counties
with 1926, according to the
latest census, a decrease from
9,744 in 1920. Under the Con-
stitution, however, two dele
gates are authorized.

a voice that puts quartet Of hot

but this song, a real jazzy dance
number, probably gives the greatest
play to the Bow personality. Then
believe 1t or Not. I've Found My
Man" is a joyous lyric of the
scorch type. Clara follows this with
a rendition Of the radio riot, That's
Worth While Waiting For" The
theme song of the picture. That's
Love Among the Millionaires," is
her fourth number.
Little Mtzi Green. who won
hearts everywhere with her imita-
tons of Charlie Mack of Moran and
Mack, of Chevalier and Helen
Kane in Paramount on Parade"
mimicks Clara Bow in this picture,
and sings a song, Don't Be a
aMeanie," which rivals Jack Oakie's
Alma Nanny in "Sweetie."
Skeets Gallagher, Oakies pal in
Fast Company" and The Social Lii
on" has a strong comedy role with
Stuart Erwin, Both these young men
are candidates for the hand of Clara
Bow and their intense rivalry pro-
vides a running fire of comedy.

sBurchares, Aug. LP - Michael
who was king is little boy again
and Rumania likes him better that
way.
King Carol has changed the
clothes of his son. He has taken
away his stiff hat, his long trousers
and substituted knickerbockers. a
SLOUGH cap, and an open blouse.
The serious-faced, worried little
ruler who used to solemnly watch
the troops in review now claps his
hands with excitement and beats
time to the music.
Those who were his subjects are
glad to see the Swear old boy. whose
father took his Job of being king
from him, become a careless child
again.
Michael seems thoroughly con-
tended with his new lot, although
ne is only heir apparent to the
throne he once occupied. Apparent
ly doffing the royal crown was
relief to him.
