THEFTS GREAT

District officials today are study
ing a report from the Bureau of
Efficiency yesterday in which 1t
was charged that no check has
been kept on electrical apparatus
furnished by the District to the
Potomac Electric Power Company
for installation.
The report revealed that whole.
sale thefts of the apparatus was
made possible by the lack Of checks
and that In case OF theft it would
be practically impossible to find
the guilty parties.
The investigation on which this
report was made grew out Of the
traffic light scandal. During the
traffic light hearings it was re.
vealed that no record was main
tanned by the District Of the light
equipment turned over to the power
company.
Two recommendation were made
in the report as follows:
That no person receiving goods
from the warehouse be allowed to
leave with them without signing a
receipt recognizing responsibility.
That no property be discussed
without a reqlisition prepared by
the proper officials of the Potomac
Electric Power Company or Of the
District government and duly SUBJ
nitted to the head Of the warehouse
by the employe receiving the prop
erty.

Dear Martha Lee: I wonder what you
could say to person who all his life has
had bad luck and now has nothing. Money,
position. friends, yes. and even his wife,
who ran away with another man, have been
taken.
He is my brother. He has come to stay
with me and his thoughts are terrible
of making away with himself and so on.
My husband is anything but crazy about
having him here. He was always inclined
to melancholy and pessimism and my
mother used to worry about him terribly.
he was Just born. unlucky. His feeling
this way is a terrible burden to me. I'll
appreciate 1t II you can suggest anything
l can do. MRS. MAE McC.
There's no use denying you have
job on your hands because the
mans mental attitude seems Deep
seated, but If you could succeed in
convincing him that his own
thoughts-and not bad luck" are
largely responsible, you'll help him.
His pessimism may have driven
his wife away. It's certain, anyway,
that the belief in the sure coming
of misfortune makes for those very
results and creates a mental atmos-
phere that other folks avoid. If you
can shake his faith in outside
"jinxes" and get him into line of
moro wholesome thinking, you are
doing about all you can do.

like our achievement but it is the
result Of thoughts and desires, some

However the faculty to dream

to mock us, though we are tempted
to think so when things go wrong.
The mental attitude Of expectation,
