CENSUS SHOWS DWINDLING OF
POPULATION HERE

According to figures announced dur.
ing the week by Joseph A. Wilmer.
Census Supervisor for the Southern
Maryland aiel, Charles County, now
has 1910 less souls than it had ten
years ago The 1920 Census gave the
County population of IT, 705. where
as the 1880 count placed it at only Is,
1872. Only one district in the County
showed a gain. This was Marbury,
which enjoyed an increase of 5, and it
is thought that this was due to its
proximity to the NavalPowder Factory
t Indian Bead, many Government
employees having built homes there
during the past ten years.
Regarding our sister counties, we
learn from Mr.. Wilmer that ST Mary
and Calvert likewise lost by the recent
Census, while Prince Georges gained
several thousand. This was due to
the buildingup of several communities
on the outskirts Of Washington. The
rural sections Prince Georges S,
however, fell of as elsewhere.
The results of the recent Census in
Charles County, together with the
population figures of the 1920 Census
are as following:

Mrs. Williams reported that, accord

of the profit to be realized. 1t was
agreed that the p. T. A accept the

the use Of the telephone is increasing
three times as rapidly as the number

When Alexander Graham Bell, in
ventor OF the telephone, said to his

thing. That was fifty-four years ago
when there we're only two telephones
in the world. Now people talk almost
everywhere.
DR.. Bell, even at that early date
had the vision to forsee the use OF
the telephone as an aid to the bust

Universal use OF the telephone today
not only in the United States but in
foreign countries on both sides of the
Atlantic emphasizes the value of this
means of person to person communi
cation. Today it has come to be
generally understood that almost any
one anywhere is only as far away as

NUMBER FAIL TO GET TAGS
1881 License Tags Must Be Used
After Midnight December 3Ist

Many Delaware motorists will be
deprived of the use of their auto
mobiles during the first few days
of 1881. This is the fear voiced
by officials in the automobile regis
tration division of the Sttae Motor
Vehicle Department at Dover, be-
cause of the serious congestion in
the Office resulting from the delay
of auto owners in applying for
their license tags for the new year.
With only few working days left
in the year, there are thousands of
motorists in this state who have
not secured their 1881 license tags.
Motorists who have delayed in
plying for their automobile tags
for 1881 should apply for them
without further delay, for their
own good" Governor G. Douglass
Buck said. 1t was announced by
the officials of the State Highway
Department, that there is no per
iod of "grace" this year after mid
night, December 81. The tags can
be placed on automobiles Is days
before January 1, 1881, but auto
mobiles cannot be driven with 1880
tags after December 81. Any one
driving after that time will be
liable to prosecution and a fine.
The minimum fine on this charge
is S25 and costs. 1t was reported
from the Motor Vehicle Depart
ment at Dover that although the
applications were sent out about
two months before January 1, 1881
to all those who had registered
their automobiles during 1880,
there have not been any consider
able number to make application
in any one day.
