Everyday Psychology
BY DIR. JESSE W. SPRowLs.
HOPES and Fears.

An old saw runs: The wish is father
to the thought" And wishes and hopes
are one and the same, usually. The
proposition is only half true, maybe not
even half,
Fears are also the progenitors, or
rather governors, of thoughts. Tone
the fears down a little and you have
what everyone calls anxieties.
Any hope becomes focus or center
for every conceivably possible alterna-
tive that may support 1t. The hopeful
spend their hours and days figuring out
how the vanishing possibilities may yet
be realized.
Fears also become thought centers.
They cause the fearing subject to
imagine all sorts OF dire eventualities.
No one cares to take the trouble to
calculate the energy he eXpends in
wrestling with fears and anXieties that
never become realities. Something like
80 per cent OF all your worries never
materialize. But despite all statistics
OF this sort, your forebodings consume
your time and energy
This psychology of hopes and fears
warrants a little consideration:
First Is the pleasure pain philosophy
OF life.
Good and bad. pleasure and pain,
hope and fear. and their respective
equivalents, seem TO constitute the two
major poles OF everyday mental life.
The one really exists because OF the
other. The shadow proves that the
sunshines." The normal life of every
person is a sort OF balance between
pleasure and pain. 1t is within that
neutral zone. colored as it is with hope
on the one hand and fear on the other
that the most of us live, think, act and
prepare for future acts. Come TO think
II over there Is really no spice in life
for those who live outside the neutral
zone of pleasure and pain
The pain pleasure scale OF mental life
crops out as a rule In two sorts of
dreams. Daydreams are concocted out

Three To Face Court
In Stealing Of
Two Buggies

Robert Riley, ~, and his two
nephews, Joe Sealock, "a, and
Melvin Knisley, 20, of Fairfax
county, Va, win be given a pre-
liminary hearing today on the
ancient charge Of stealing a buggy
or to be exact-two buggies. The
hearing will be held I'm Forestville.
They also are charged with
stealing two crates Of chickens, a
set Of carpenter tools and a corn
planter. The buggies and the
other things were stolen Sunday
night from the ForestvilIe farms
of WIN Walker and James Mil
stead. .T
According to Sheriff Eppa Kirby,
OF Fairfax county, who made the
arrests, Riley admitted stealing
the buggles, because. the sheriff
quoted him as saying, he had
two horses and he couldn't use
them without having a buggy, so
he got vehicle for each horse.
It's all mistake about the
chickens, he told the sheriff; they
just roasted on the buggies and
he wasn't responsible for that.

PRATT FOR 1873
MORE Men ON
PAYROLL

A determined fight to have
Congress grant to the District
the additional members Of the
police, force estimated to be
necessary to combat crime in
the National Capital is being
prepared on Capitol Hill.
Friends Of the District on Senate
and House committees today are
mapping out plans which win so
forward when the Senate gets back
to business Thursday and the House
resumes session later In the month.
Senator Arthur Capper Of Kansas.
chairman Of the Senate District
Committee, is expected to take the
lead in the fight on the Senate side.
He viii return to Washington late
today or tonight.
While he will devote most Of his
time for a while to the tariff bill.
debate upon which begins Thurs
day, he Is expected to be able to
find occasion to study the police
situation here within short time.
Senator Capper, together with
oItlcF GHcInUcTS Oh The OCHAlS anu
House, has long felt that the police
force of the city has failed to keep
step with the growth and progress
OF the city. The force is now felt
to be inadequate to curb the moo
ern tendency toward the organized
criminal wave.
The recent report of Major Henry
G. Pratt. superintendent OF police.
calling to the attention Of the Dis
trict Commissioners the necessity
of increasing his force If the city
is to be properly patrolIed has
served again to direct attention to
matter which heretofore has re.
ceived lengthy consideration.
Pratt declared in his report that
the police force must be increased
from 1852 men. as at present, to
1.500 men. In making his plea for
additional personnel, Pratt pointed
out that at present there are only
ITS officers on duty at all times.
Senator Capper is known to be.
lieve that the National Capital
should take a commanding position
among the cities of the country
with regard to the suppression and
detection of crime. He has. for
some time, been an advocate OF adj
ditional patrolmen for the city and
is expected at the coming session to
push the matter with renewed vigor
because Of the Pratt report.
In the last regular session, the
police department was in rather bad
light with Congress, notably be-
cause of the exposes" conducted
by Representative Blanton and the
subsequent investigation by the Glib
son subcommittee and the sensa-
| tional trial of Police Captain Guy
| E. Burlingame.
However. the department. came
out of these Investigations with
colors flying and, at the coming
session, members are expected TO
lend more sympathetic ear to ap-
peals for increasing and strengthen.
