Appropriation Bill Provisions
Expected to Await Other
Matters.
POLICE PAY INCREASE
Is BELIEVED AVAILABLE
Failure of Hoover to Sign Resolu.
ton Not Seen as Delaying
Salary Growth.

The District Commissioners met to-
day to complete work on the 1882 esti-
mates. Not much action is expected on
the various matters involving awards of
contracts and reorganiZationS arising
out of the District appropriation bill
passed by Congress last Thursday.
The city heads have before them two
matters on which action may be taken
today. One is a series of contracts for
new highway construction involving
the expenditure of about $4,000, 900.
The other is list of promotions in the
Police Department made possible by the
terms of the appropriation act.
The fact that President Hoover did
not sign the joint resolution making
available the money for the increases in
Police salaries will probably not delay
the increases at the first pay day, July
is, it was believed at the District
Building today. Acting Auditor A. r.
Pilkerton stated informally that the
terms of the act signed by President
Hoover would probably be sufficient to
warrant paying the increase out of
funds now in the Treasury and taking
care of the payment if necessary by a
deficiency bill at the next session of
Congress. Mr.. Pilkerton had not seen
the pay increase bill and his final opin-
ion will not be given to the Commits
its terms.
Increased pay for 2,o49 per diem en-
ployes of various departments of the
District government will 60 into effect
retroactive to July l, under the terms of
the appropriation bill.
Roland M. Brennan, chairman of the
wage scale board, announced that 2,049
men were eligible for the increases
which average II cents per day. Men
now getting less than IS 40 per day will
get increases averaging Is cents and
nlen getting more than $6.40 day will
get increases averaging "a cents day.
These increases will amount to about
S345 a day. Only men who were on
the pay roll July l, 1929, and are rec
commended by their foremen or depart
ment heads are eligible for the increase.
OF the men affected, 100 are from the
City Refuse Department, 430 from the
Highway Department. 238 from the
Water Department, 233 from the repair
shop and 200 from the Sewer Depart
ment
The roadway contracts could have
been let at any time Congress passed
the supply bill, since those items are
always on the Immediately available"
list. Capt. Herbert G. Whitehurst said
today that although all the contracts
insist on completion by November /,
the contractors will be given extra time
if necessary to complete their jobs on
account of the late start. These high
way contracts are usually let in May,
and the two months that have been
lost were months of excellent working
weather he said. Work on concrete
and asphalt roads cannot be Satisfac-
torily accomplished after freezing
weather sets In.

and over again that you are not as
good as the other fellow you in
terfere with the normal function
ing of your true abilities with the
result that you fail and keep on
failing. Each failure makes you
worse because it constitutes an. adj
ditional suggestion of inferiority.
This is a vicious cycle.
The simplest and sanest method
OF overcoming a mental complex
is to practice a type of autosug-
gestion. You may cultivate the SUI
periority complex in exactly the
same way that you may cultivate
the inferiority complex.
The nature of mind is such that
a person acts upon the things that
are most persistently held at the
focus of consciousness. Ideas of
inferiority and failure tend to pro-
duce failure and the inferiority
complex; ideas of success and SUI
periority tend to produce success
and superiority complex.
Above all, never accept a sug-
gestion of inferiority. If you fail,
forget it. Remember that the most
successful people fail in some
things. Don't allow the idea of
failure and inferiority to enter
your thoughts. Think only and al
ways of your good points and your
successes. This practice will chase
away the blues as well as the feel
ing of shyness and inferiority.

VIII Rogers Calls
on George Bernard Shaw

London, Jan. 25.-Will Rog-
ers called on George Bernard
Shaw Friday. They discussed
the five-power naval confer
ence.
Said George:
TITS not a disarmament con-
ference; it's an armament
conference. They are Just ar
guing whether it will be bet
ter to kill people with 12-inch
instead of Is inch Shells"
Said Will:
It's all about battleships
and very few folks can point
to an ancestor who was kill
ed by a battleship."
Rogers said he was fulfill
ing a lifelong ambition by
visiting Shaw He even said
he had seen the playwright's
new comedy, THE Apple
cart"
My seat set me back three
bucks" said the American hu-
morist to the red bearded
Shaw, "but every now and
then l would put my hands up
and grab a ten dollar epigram
flying overhead. Altogether l
came away with 800 worth
of stuff"
Shaw modestly steered the
conversation to Russia, say
ing the land of the soviets
would compete with America
for supremacy of the world.
Before Rogers left, Shaw
said, 81 asked my man Friday
who you were and he told me
you were a Cherokee Indian

would come in feathers and
paint.
Rogers admitted he has red
Indian blood in him, but add

frightened after all, sir"
