SERVES THEM RIGHT. rUREE of our .soniitoriul candidates according to the I'ortlund papers, aro much distressed by the recent ruction in the ranks of the Ku Klux Klan.. , . . ' '' Senator McNury, it seems has tlie Gilford support, Mayor Baker hag the anti-Oil'ford support, and Kubli has the up-state Klan support, lint unless the internecine strife between the Gifford and anti-Clifford factions is soon terminated, which seems unlikely, the support of any Klan faction will bo a liability instead of an asset. So the members of the senatorial-aspirant-triumvirato 'are; wor ried. To purchase the support of one third, for the opposition of two thirds, looks like neither (food politics nor good business, and if the above diagnosis is correct, no one can 'blame Messers. McNaryy Kubli: And Baker for being on the anxious seat. ' ' ;. ' ' But to adopt a somewhat over-used expression' "We should worry." If any candidate for a seat in the United States senate, has bargained with any section of the Ku Klux Klan for support, thcn.be deserves to be beaten. , If such a candidate,, by such action receives a quince instead of a plum, then he gets precisely what he deserves. , QUILL Whut Mellon says about reducing taxes probably won't have Us much weight as the doughboy vote.

Letters should ba brief and written In Ink. Owing to the large number of letters received, only a few can bs an swered here. No reply can be made to queries not conforming to Instruc tions. Address Dr. William Brady, In care of this newspaper, The Flu ruing- Beak. With tho first touches ' of cold weather, tho ever blooming proboscis breaks into, i warm and radiant glow. The colder the weather the warmor tho radi ance of the bloom; many a poor hare brained .creature goes shivering thru tho winter In sheer no account undies, wondering -why she is doomed to display . upon all occassional a' bril--liabjt scarlet -noz-' zle. The remedy' for this is a nice union suit of light weight all wool (or that which passes as such nowadays) or wool anti .silk mixed balbriggan, with stockings of similar matorlul. Practically, wool is the most satis-, factory material for winter under-, wear; the modern knitted porous ma-' terlnl which I call balbriggan (no special brand) is porous enough -to pormlt freo. evaporation of porspira- tlon, is not irritiiting or itchy like the old time flannel underwear and if the proper weight is selected to meet in dividual requirements is comfortable without being too warm. Young porsons who spend much tlmo indoors should select tho light est weight; elderly persons or those much exposed in tho open should se lect a medium heavy weight. Indoor workers should always bear 'In mind that they are woarlng underclothing fon comfort, not to keep warm; . if ono sclocta tho right material and weight of underwear one may threw off or put on outer wraps or coats to suit any whim or freak of weather. Tho main advantage of wool over cotton or . linen for underwear in the -colder season of the year is not that the wool Is warmer; but that wool Is a slower conductor of heat; a suit of such undorwear therefore protects he cir culation against the strain of a thous and sudden reactions daily as wo plunge from the cold air bath out doors to the warm air bath indoors, and from the' warm into the cold aguin. . siik is oven ueuer man wool, neing a lower heat conductor than wool. A great many vigorous young athletic boys and girls go through tho wlntor with the flimsiest possible excuse for underwoar; they declare they find1 It comfortable. At any rato it Is por - fectly hyglonlo and safa If they like It. But most people find that they aro most conuortableiwlth some such ar- mor as I htxo describe); It is n common m Intake to wcarf couon unuerwoar m winter and sum- mcr, Increasing tho weight or thick - ness of Hie materinl In, the wlntor. Thick cotton underwoar is unhygenie, Decause u is jiKeiy to prove too warm indoors; then when one encased in it. goes out there is an abnormally sud den cooling or chilling, which doesn't do any harm, but Js certainly not com fortable. Any one who has worn a cotton bathing suit and-then a wool one, on cold or windy days.-knows that damp or wet cotton Is very chilly while damp or wet woot Is not. Chil- THE GKEATEST THING IJf THE WORLD by Laurol Qrov The Tlo nt Sympathy j Terhaps one- of tho most curious revelations of human character la the enthusiasm with which we succumb to sympathy.'; It is astonishing how . ' ' ; "thoroughly alone each one of us Is. Truo, we havo -our parents and our brothers and sisters nnd our business associ ates and our play fellows. But somehow thore Is an inst 1 n c 1 1 v o hunger In the human soul which crayos a sympathetic kin ship, an under standing, a faith and nn intimacy which only ono person In tho world can satisfy, lbanez, the Spanish nov elist, who Is not nt all a poor analyst, tries to dismiss this instinctive hunger In our hearts with tho rather dreadful word: Sex! Perhaps, (n a blologlcnl sense, this Is correct. But the bad plays and the bad novels and the bad movies have tinctured "sex" with a shameful coloring that fends one of even tho most liberal tendencies away. It seems to mo that the craving for heart-sympathy Is a bolter designa tion than "the sex attraction" altho It may all be to the same ends. When tho fires of youth are cooled and tho desire for "a kick out o' llfo" Is dimin ished It Is still a heart-hungor for human sympathy and understanding that inspires us and gives even the drabbest comnion-placos of , llfo a fairer aspect. One may conquer the stulibornest will with sympathy, kind ness nnd understanding. And It is. oh. so true when one loves and Is loved. 1 beliovo that -when rnr wrote, "you ran lead a horse to water, but yen can't make him drink."- the author must have had- a. lover In mind.

It is un doubtedly true that there is scarcely, business man in Medford who isn't eitjoying a better 'and more profitable, business today than ever before in Medford 's history. j , i, - Conclusion. ,,,, These charts today complete the economic survey of Medford. As was'stated at the. outset a complete survey of the city and surrounding country, or an exhaustive sutvoy ia a,ny .one, department was not at tempted. ..):.'.- What was attempted, and what we believe has been, accomplished, was to show by the presentation of official facts supported by undis puted evidence,: that Medford 's business conditions today . are better than they were in. those good old boom days, better 'than they ever have been 'before. . j There have beon varying degrees of growth and ,. betterment, shown in'Wriou's departments, ranging all the way .from 50 to 5000 per cent; but in every instance from sewer permits to telephones, from produce shipments tQ tourist .travol, from building permits to bunk deposits THESE HAS BEEN' GROWTH, consistent, substantial, wholesome growth.. tMoreovcr in not a single in-stanoe has there beon ti' decline of recent date, and in every instance the record of 1923 HAS SURPASSED THE RECORD OF ANY PREVIOUS YEAR IN THE CITY'S HISTORY. f , , . . So there is Medford as she is totlay, in every way bigger and bet ter than ever before, a statement based not on hot air or guess work but on the solid foundation of the official records. ,,. , . , And what is tho moral?. : The moral as we see it, is this: Medford has more, of everything today than she ever had before except spirit.- By "spirit" we moan civic spirit, the old-time Medford spirit, tho spirit of enthusiasm, of self-confidence of united aggressive effort, the spirit of faith in our city, faitji in our selves, the faith to do things, big things,,in o big way. . .
