Some people work with life
some people work against life.
Much Of what we call good luck"
or bad luck" springs from our
own inner attitude toward life
our expectancy OF life.
Maeterlinck once wrote an essay
on luck. He showed how some
people make magnets of them
selves by their positive, optimistic
attitudes. They draw good for
tune to themselves because they
expect good fortune-they are on
the alert for it. They work with
life and life gives them )f it's
abundance.
But other people miss that
abundance because they do not
expect it. They exert no expec.
fancy of good luck--rather they
always seem to expect bad luck.
They meet life with suspicion,
envy, encouragement, resentment.
They are never filled with posi-
tive, fighting hope.
No man can change the mysteri-
Gus tide of fate with it's flooded
mingled good and evil--no man
can fully determine the circum-
stances of his life. BUT HE
CAN DETERMINE HIS OWN
ATTITUDE TOWARD THAT
TIDE. He can work with life, or
against life. He can cast himself
hopefully into the current, &C.
cepting its buffeting as a chal.
lenge, looking always for food in
its salty depths. Or he can sit
huddled upon the mud flats, weep"
ing tears of self pity over himself.
seeing only danger and disaster
in that vast flood. And be he
swimmer or huddler, he'll get
what he expects.
It's up to the man.

City Council and City Manager
Suggested for Washington

NUMEROUS suggestions will be offered in the future

Iof them likely to attract attention than that
recently made through this newspaper by Col G. O. Sheriff.
who has achieved notable reputation city manager OF
Cincinnati
This suggestion is that the District Commissioner be
done away with that the President appoint city council of
members having complete powers in governing this
city Congress willing confer and that the city council
should select city manager having full control the
and administrative departments Of the local
ment.
council should he not measure to the responsibilities I'M
posed upon him.
II is argued by those who favor city manager for
Washington that with three District Commissioners there
not the ready coordination cooperation that should
exist under single executive and administrative official
The great majority of Washington people would if they
permitted to express their views in referendum
favor city council elected by the people, and given wide
powers that would conflict with rights Of Congress
this city These powers may be delegated by Congress
The District Commissioners have quite limited powers
They are little than administrative officers carrying
out the laws and policies of Congress
and for their fellow citizens they are somewhat oomgsrsSe
to city council and responsive to local public sent
ment.
city manager for Washington not responsive to public
sentiment would never be acceptable here The cy council
would give Washngonans medium Of touch with their
local affairs.
ANY local city council should have legislative powers not
in conflict with the of Congress. Moreover both
council and city manager should be from nterfrences
of Federal agencies and officials
The Bureau of the Budget for example, should be elimin
aed from budget control the District government That
bureau mpedes District progress than any agency
There is sound why its clutch the District
should not be removed.
the Federal contribution to the annual upkeep Of the
District varied considerably from year year. and that
variation should interfere with the Federal budget there
might be for its domination District finances The
Federal contribution here but 100000 each year and
plays significant part in the Federal budget system
city manager should be given control over the local
budget Otherwise his control in vital financial matters would
be inadequate City managers are, in fact the budget
makers of each city employing them Budget preparation

A DEMURE, old-fashioned girl is
"A like the family Bible these

mires her, but nobody ever thinks
of taking her out.
One Of the funniest things in
this egregious old world is to hear
a fat, red.faced, little bald man de-
scribing the fascinating blonde
queen he fears he may some day
be weak enough to fall for.
About the most deadly "compli-
ment" that a man can pay wom-
an is to assure her that there's
nothing wrong with her." yet that
is the most glowing praise that
some wives ever receive.
A radio is like a husband. The
moment you try to get 1t to show

right into silence or starts sputter-

The acid test of mans love

way of gauging the depth Of his
