Detroit Actually Larger

Actually Detroit is larger. From business
nd commercial standpoint Detroit is the
lird largest city in the United States.
"Jn considering the relative size of Detroit
nd Philadelphia, it is important to remember
hat Philadelphia County is made up only of
Philadelphia city, for purposes of COM
parison it is necessary to consider Detroit as
Wayne County," Willis H. Hall, manager of
the industrial department of Detroit's Board
of Commerce. points out.
Since 1887, when the pay roll hit $685.
100000, industrial Detroit has had the biggest

city.
In population Wayne County has now about
100000 more persons than has Philadelphia
County
apparently Philadelphia is the top
and going down ia population Hall said, while
Detroit is still growing.
Detroit could be a city of 100000 persons
within 20 years because by then Detroit will
probably have as its boundary lines Wayne
County"
Philadelphia can get no larger, Stewart points
out, unless it anneXes other counties, because
the county and city line is now the same.
Normally, Detroit is getting bigger and bigger
and with the new impetus of the defense pro-
gram, which also is giving Mr.. Detroiter his
money for his spree, it should pass Philadelphia
long before the normal passing time of 1880.

He Buys Cars, Homes

With all the new clothes he must have
some place to 60 and so he's buying a new
car to do 1t. Dealers report that 121 per
cent more passenger cars were delivered in
Wayne County than fast year at this time.
Well-dressed new-car-driving Mr.. De-
troiter wants a new house along with his
shiny car and so in the first two months of
Al the value of building permits has increased
100000 over the same period last year.
All this spending and national defense may
make a difference in population here. In
population, Detroit is the fourth largest city
in the United States. It is slowly gaining
on Philadelphia the third largest, and at
present rate will pass Philadelphia in 1880.

-SHERES a boom on in Detroit. A
great big boom that may result in a
headache, but Mr. Average Detroiter
- doesn't give a darn. He's spending
his money like a drunkard without
a thought of hangover.
He's making more money than he ever
made before-he has to work overtime to do
it but at the end Of the week he has S3975
in his jeans, which the Michigan Department
Of Labor and Industry. says is the most De-
troits industrial worker ever received in one
week.
Everybody's profting by the spending
spree, records show. For Mr.. Average De-
troiter is dressing himself up and today is
probably the best dressed of the American
workmen.

MORGANTON, N. c., March /.
in subfreezing weather officers
dragged q part of Lake Rhodhiss
yesterday looking for a body that
might be a link in the mysterious
murder Of Thaddeus Florkiewicz,
but they did not find anything.
Sheriff Paul M. Dale said he was
convinced there was no body in
the lake inlet. Footprints led to
and from the inlet to the spot
where Florkiewicz's bullet-riddled
body was found beside a burning
automobile Monday night.
Officers are working on the theory
there was connection between
the death of Florkiewicz and the
killing of Robert S. Devvins, also
of Uniontown and former Wash
ington, D. c., resident, whose body
was found Monday near Bowling
Green, Va. The burning car here
was Devvins'.
Somewhere en- route from Union
town, it was supposed, a hitch
hiker got in the car with the two
men, killed Devvins in Virginia, and
forced Florkiewicz to drive on here,
where he set fire to the car and
fired three bullets through the
Uniontown mans heart.

convoy trucks pounded through
this West Texas city until nearly
midnight transferring 10,500 men of
the 45th division from Fort Sill,
Okla, to Camp Barkley, and only
a few fell by the wayside.
Maj. Gen. w. S. Key, division
commander, had to come to the res
cue Of one driver stranded In Olney
when his big mess truck ran out
of fue,.
The driver could not decide
whether 1t would be breaking regu-
lations to buy some gas, but Gen.
Key thought the soldier didn't have
enough money. He sent his orderly
to the driver with a dollar.
The driver sent 1t back with
thanks and bought his own gas. II
claim that's good truck driver"
Gen. Key said.
Emergency repairs were made on
number of trucks, BIT for the
most part the twin columns whirled
Southwark on schedule.
Stiff and sore from their 235-mile
ride in cramped quarters in trucks
that took every jolt without much
give, the National Guardsmen from
Oklahoma, Arizona, Colorado and
New Mexico found hot meals await
ing them when they reached Camp
Barkeley. They had cold lunches
at noon, but the mess trucks
reached Abilene at midafternoon
and the kitchens were ready, COM
plete to ice in the refrigerators.
The men found house-tents with
walled-up sides, gas-heated and rea-
sonably tight in the $1,000 600 train
ing camp in the final stages of con-
struction.
The reservation in all covers ST.
600 acres. The rough adjacent
country will be used as a maneuver
area.
Officers of the 45th said they were
already well along in their training
program and they hoped to be
settled and back at work within a
few days.
Movement of the division will be
completed next week.

In Case of z Women

Two woman clerks living in Uni
versity Park, Md, were awarded a
total of more than s400 yesterday In
Municipal Court by Judge Nathan
Cayton in suits to recover sums due
them under the minimum wage law.
The sums represent the difference
in the amount of money they were
said to have received and what they
should have received under the
minimum wages of SIT week while
employed by Samuel Adelman, listed
in the court records as trading as

his place Of business In the 500 block
of Ninth street NV.
The two women are Mrs. Helen
F. Groves, who was awarded s207 in
the Judgment, and Mrs. Anna Lore,

ion regarding the judgments. In 1t
ne mentioned:
The women testified that none
of them ever received the SIT mini
mum wage, and were required to
sign the receipts"-indicating they
had received tin order to remain
on the pay roll"
Commenting on the cases, Judge
Cayton said:
Here we find not only q selfish
disregard Of public interest," but also
a bold attempt to fiout the law by
exacting employees signatures to
false receipts, and then seeking to
make those very receipts an instru-
ment OF fraud when called upon to
obey the law. Employers should be
warned that the law means what 1t
says; that the minimum wage must
be paid, and that neither this sub
terfuge, nor any similar one, will
serve as q defense to claims of this
kind"
