Grand Year in the Street
The King's Blood Soldiers
To i-ive Long, Eat Little
A Farewell Lynching.
(Copyright. 1 28, by Star Co.)
Will Street closed the old
year joyously,, with stocks
''climbing." Many new liis?'1
prices "for all time," every
body happy, except professional
bears. They have learned that
being a bear in Ihis country is
not a "business." It is a disas
ter. Figures tell what kind of
year "the street" has had. The
public bought more than !)''0,
000.000 shares, including steel
111.809,000 shares, radio 1C",179,
S00 share, General Motors 4U,
880,400 shares.
Henry Ford's new Itritish
company, just horn, sold in
America alone 2,388,400 shares,
almost the total issue. The
plan to let the Britons have
and keep that stock did not
work. .
Brokers that sold stock ex
change seats made a profit of
:;,)1,0n0, in some cases jret- i
tin).' ten times what the seats j
cost. But all sold too soon. If
you have a good thing in A hut- J
ica keep it and it will keep you. i
The year closed with money j
lending at 'X per cent, so even j
the hard working Ranker,
shared the joy, knowing that
his little golden soldiers were
earning their keep.
. - -
For the "haves" as Victor
Bergcr calls them, otherwise
the prosperous, it was a good
year. For the "have, nuts" it
was not as had as usual. They
must find comfort .in the fact
that the "haves" once were
piave nots." They soictl op
portunity iukI opportunity still
fxists.
Those that got money gum
blinjr, in stocks or otherwise,
are only temporary possessors.
Tltey will not keep it.
' This column, jibm.t nnee a
week durinjr the past two years,
.has predicted that values would
go up. Note that inercase in
Mock priecs during, 1028
amounts to eleven billion, three
hundred and eitrhty-five million
dollars, greatest sain the. na
tion's history, and many thinirs
are still cheap.
More important is 1 he fact
noted by Mr. Keker of the Met
ropolitan Life Company that
! v uges amount to sixty 'billions
n year, eost of living only forty
billions, leaving twenty billions
every year for savings, auto
mobiles, radios, and other ne
cessities that once were lux
uries. King (ieorge's condition wor
ries his doctors, puzzled by his
"great fatigue."
: The king's blood is tired
after months of fighting against
pisouous streptoeoeei.
His blood lias lost what mili
tary commanders cull its fight
ing morale.
After a lone campaign a tired
army needs fresh Roldtarn. The
Mngn blood needs vigorous fresh
lenecw ytes, and could got them by
transfusion. That mo important n
step should be so lonR delayed Is
HurprlsinR. The king'B physicians
mWit well hesitate to experiment
with so Illustrious a patient. But
blood transfusion is no longer an
O experiment, but a scientific remedy
for blood stream infection.
Reasonable expectation of life If
now limited to 5- years for the av
erage. Formerly when oiten sew
ers ran through streets, with grave
yards on hill sides draining Into
wells below, life averaged less than
20 years. Science says we already
have sufflcleut medical knowledge
. to make life's expectation 12 years
longer, but we don't use what we
know.

over to the incoming ad ministra
tion, and Mayor Alendorfer and
A. C. Hubbard and J. V. Jacobs,
retiring council men, stepped back
to the side lines, Mayor A. W.
Pipes and the two new council-,
men, 1. M. Wilson and It. K. Me
KlhoHO, taking their places and
the new administration was In the
saddle and nt work on a huge
grist of business.
The city council chamber was
packed with a crowd of Interested
spectators, and as the weather
was warm and there was much
business to transact -Mayor Pipes,
after his- furmal address in which
no outlined his policies, doffed his
coat in a business-like manner and
remained in his shirt sleeves until
t he end of the council meeting.
As was related in this newspaper
cstui u.i i term-on .Mayur ! pet
did not announce his appoint
ments, but .stated that lie would
do so very soon, after going over
the mutter wit it the mem birrs of
the council.
Bids were up'-'ned for the wile
of the new fire hall bonds, anil
Lor (he construction of thai build
ing, and for the new Sixth street
limiting system, but were not act
ed on, us there are so m a n y of
different types, that it would take
hours to figure out as tu which
were the lowest und best, and
therefore further action on the
bids was deferred until 1 I a. tu.
today, when t he various council
co in in It tecs to which they were
referred would be ready with their
reecHiimendnt ions.
The most striking feature of the
change of administration was the
Inaugural address of .Mayor Pipes
to the city council and the. public,
which up pea rs in full else w here
In this newspiiper, and should be
read by every cilr.en. all tht city
officials, both outgoing und in
coming, say.
In this address, which was the
first formal one of any length,
ever made by a new mayor tailing
offlc in Med ford, the mayor
show nd Hint he had an excellent
grasp of the duties of the city's
chief executive, und outlined his
policies fur the continued growth
anil prosperity ui Medford, flayed
faetfonallHin and unjust criticism
of city offlchils, praised the work
of the retiring administration, dis
cussed l lie Increased demands on
the city government to keep psce
with Us rapid development, th
lighting, traffic and a viat ion and
budget problems, and the subject
of his coining appointments.
A pfirt of his address, which
met with unanimous approval last
night, was the following para
graph: "lOmployes of our city, whether
In the office or with the shovel,
should be required to render full
service. Just the same is re
quired by the Individual employer.
The number of deputies and cirks
should be kept to the minimum at
all times, in keeping with effici
ency uifjl economy, and the merg
ing of departments wherever prac
ticable should be effected If the
tax payors arc to enjoy the full
benefit of the money paid into our
city treasury.
Praise? Alemlccfcr
Pefore making his formal ad
dress In.- paid high tribute tu
.Mayor Alcnderfer and his admin
istration. In which he said in part:
"I just came from a banquet at
tended by both the retiring and
Incoming administrations, and if
I thought as many good things
could be said about ma at the end
of my term ns mayor, as were said
there about Air. Alcnderfer I
wuulil be proud of that term, lie
lias merited just such congratula

over for the new, by the retiring
adminifti ution for their successor
