Michael Gabala and Ferrotta have, HOW POPULATION GREW IN PEMA. 38 Cities Show Cain of Over! Half a Million Since the Census of 1910 Harrisburg, Aug. 6. The population of the 38 cities in Pennsylvania increased 571,993 in 10 years, according to compilations made today by the bureau of municipalities in the Pennsylvania department of internal affairs, from the preliminary reports received by the bureau from the cen sus bureau at Washington, D. C.

Of the 38 cities in. the state, one, Philadelphia, is a city of the first class; Pittsburgh and Scranton are cities of the 'second class, and the remaining ,35 are cities of the third class. The population of "tlfe 38 cities in 1910 was 3,231,395. Census figures for 1920 make the total popu lation of the cities 3,803,388. The net increase in population in all of the cities was 17.7 per cent.

How Bethlehem Gained Increases the populations of in dividual cities range from 2.1 per in Franklin, to 292.3 per cent. in Bethlehem. During the 10 year period the boroughs of Bethlehem and South Bethlehem were combined into the city of Bethlehem. In 1910 South Bethlehem was the larger, and when, the two towns joined under the name of Bethlehem, the big increase in the population of Bethlehem 'r Philadelphia, of course, leads the cities of the state in population. In 1910 the population of Philadelphia was 1,549,008, while the census' bureau in 1920 gave it 1,823,158.

Pittsburgh, with 533,905 in 1910, was given a population of 588,193 in 1920. Scranton, the other second class city, had a population of 129,867 in 1910 and 137,783 in 1920. Pittsburgh increased 10.2 per cent, in the 10 years while Scranton increased 6.1 per cent. Reading in Lead Of the third class cities. Reading again took the lead in population, with 107,784 or 11,713 more thrn in 1910.

The smallest of the thlr class cities is Corry, with a popula aon this year of 7,228. This figure, however, is an increase of 20.6 per cent, over the figures in 1910. Of the entire 38 cities, all of them showed increases in population with the exception of Titusville, which d' increased in population 101. In tilO Titusville had a population of 8,533. The census of 1920 gives the city 8, 432, or a decrease of 1.2 per cent.
