AS WOMAN to WOMAN
RUTH CAMERON
DO you believe in ghosts?
Is there any one who hasn't '
discussed that fascinating ques
tion at one time or another?
All our lives We have heard about the
ghosts that visit haunted chambers and
come creating down winding stairways
at midnight, and yet I doubt if there is
one among my reader friends who could
claim to have seen one. But there is an
other kind of ghost that most of us meet
almost daily. I speak of those elusive, shadowy ghosts of thought which haunt
that unexplored chamber of our personality, the subconscious mind.
You don't know what I mean? Well, let me describe one of these visits
which, unlike the visits of the common ghosts, occur at any time of the day or
night. You are sitting at your desk writing to a friend. Suddenly there comes
into your mind the thought of a teacher you once had and the queer, way she
Wore her front hair. You had not been thinking either of hair or teachers. You
D>cre writing to your friend, "Hasn't it been a warm winter?" There was ab
solutely no connection between your thoughts and this queer memory that flitted
into your mind. What was it, then, but a vague ghost of a thought that had
been dwelling in the subconscious mind, and came for a moment to the door
of your conscious mind?
A year or two ago I wrote about these queer, unfathered thoughts thai
come to all of us, and insisted thai there was some connection, even if it were
not immediately discernible; that if you hunted long enough you could find
the link.
I am writing this to retract that statement, for ever since then I have been
continually haunted by thoughts of places and people that had absolutely no
connection with what I was saying, feeling, thinking or doing. As I walk across
the room to get a book I will suddenly think of a newspaper boy I knew when
I was in newspaper Work' As I sit at the breakfast table scanning the adver
tisements of furs I will suddenly see in my mind's eye a little cottage where I
spent a couple of days some 15 years ago.
Really, when you stop to think of it isn't it almost as weird as being vis
ited by ordinary ghosts to have these inexplicable specter thoughts stalk all un
bidden into your mind?
I know there are people materialistic enough to laugh at the term "sub'
conscious mind," but 1 can't understand their attitude. It seems to me there
is no doubt that the subconscious mind is a tremendous power that exists within
us, and that if we could only utilize its force we could double our mental effi
ciency.
For in many ways the subconscious mind is superior to the conscious mind.
For instance, my conscious mind can not tell time without a clock, subcon
scious mind can. I have never set an alarm for any time without being waked
up just before the alarm went off by my subconscious mind.
"What on earth is all this about?" I can hear some materialistic and
disgruntled reader exclaim. I know you won't believe me, my friend, but all
this is about a force as real, as valuable and almost as well understood as the
electricity that lights your house and runs your vacuum cleaner.

TEA FOR VISTING NURSES

Executive
(Special Dispatch to The Call)
WASHINGTON, Feb. 20.—Miss Taft
showed her interest in the work of the
visiting nurses of Washington by en
tertaining 25 members of the society at
tea this afternoon. Her interest in the
nurses and her knowledge of their
work was brought about by her study
of first aid to the wounded in the
Red Cross class and her work at the
Noel settlement house.
While little has been said or writ
ten about the work of Mrs. Taft and
Miss Taft for charity since they came
to the White House, it has been un
ceasing and there are no charities in
Washington which have not been bene
fited by their assistance.
While Mrs. Taft has confined her
work especially to the woman's wel
fare department of the National Civic
federation. Miss Taft has aided the
Consumers' league and will not wear
a garment which does not bear their
mark. She has aided the diet kitchen,
taught a sewing class and a class of
girl scouts and visited the various
settlement houses and assisted in their
work.
There was no formal presentation
of the nurses, as Miss Taft knows
most of them.

STEADFAST CLAIM
WINS FOR WOMEN
Outdoor Art League Finds
Too Much Modesty
Does Not Pay
Unclaimed claims were at a premium
at the annual meeting of the Ancient
Order of Claimers, which convened in
California hall yesterday afternoon.
About the only thing overlooked was a
dignified old gentleman who eat, un
claimed. In the rear of the hall. He,
however, claimed that he was unable
to get the point of certain remarks
made by Mrs. A. C. Kellogg, who, under
the Egyptian-Persian name of Cleo
patra Omar, president of the ancient
clairners, poetically declared that it was
a wise child that knew its own father.
On the strength of this claim the ven
erable gentleman was immediately
elected to honorary membership In the
order.
The Ancient Order of Clalmere was
born in San Francisco. Envy was its
father and Popular Applause mothered
the offspring. The Outdoor Art league
supplied the deeds which caused Popular
Applause to flirt with Envy, and the
marriage resulted.
Amongf those who participated in the
Claimer's convention were Madame
Tojetti, who represented General Isimo
Cigarette Confortification of the Po
trero; Mrs. Rodney Kendrlck, as the
God of Battles and ambassador to the
Land of Peace; Mrs. F. H. Abbott, &t>

Adeline Genee Coming
Great Dance Exponent
Adeline Genee, "Craceful Fairy of Stageland," ad Valencia theater.
Great Orchestra, Corps de Ballet and Other
Noted Artists Accompany Her
Music and he dance have always ap
pealed to San Francisco audiences, and
the coming: of Adeline Genee with a
great orchestra and a corps de ballet,
is making a dual appeal. On its mu
sical side the organization that "Will
Greenbaum is bringing to the Valencia
theater, to open next Monday night,
appeals through the rhythm of Genee's
marvelous steps and the harmonies of
a big orchestra playing the classics
of dance music from the eighteenth and.
nineteenth centuries. As a terpsi
chorean exhibition it is appealing , , be
cause Genee is recognized as being
in her line the greatest exponent of the
French and Italian school of dancing.
The furore created by Pavlowa and
Mordkin in their essentially Russian
dances will be repeated, it is expected,
by Adeline Genee in her scenic pro
ductions at the Valencia.
The star of the dance will be assisted
by Alexandre Volinin, a Ruesian dan
cer; Mile. Schmoltz and a corps de
ballet. Genee's is a phase of the dance
that has not been exploited in this
NEWS FROM THE HOTELS
Robert Young of Winnipeg, manager of the
western business of the Canadian Life Assur
ance company, arrived In San Francieeo yester
day with many praises for what he termed
"our summer weather." He Is staying at the
St. Francis. Speaking of the wave of prosperity
that he said was sweeping over the dominion,
Mr. Young said:
"Winnipeg invested more than 123,000,00© In
new buildings last year and bids fair to exceed
that amount in 1913. The volume of clearing
bouse business, amounting to a billion and a
half of dollars last year, places the city tenth
in Importance on the American continent. The
prospect for further immigration from the United
States to Alberta is favorable, the farmers be
ing attracted by the wonderful grain raising
possibilities in Alberta. This influx of the
thrifty northwest tiller of the soil and the
natural Increase of population In the province.
Indicates wonderful prosperity built on a solid
foundation.
"Wheat is the great staple, with oats and
barley ranking next. A ready, even eager
market Iβ always available. The banks report
large increases in deposits. an the annual re
turns from tnc grain and stock industries is
enormous. Immigration from Europe to the
United States, however, will offset the loss In
population in the northern states."

John N. Drummond, a big tobacco dealer of

Dnimmond said:
"The farmers and orchardltts ar« alarmed
over the scarcity of rate. This fart, combined
with the freeze of some weeks ago, has Just
about disheartened the less wealthy ilass. My
ranch near the outskirts of San Diego yielded
nothing this year. The orange and lemon crop
was a total failure. In the last few years
frost has hit the citrus fruit industry badly,
and the people are Just about ready to beliere
that they must plant something else besides
citrus trees.
"Aβ a matter of fact, many of the former
orange and lemon growers are taming to grapes,
which escape frost. The hillsides are the best
grape land In the world, even better than the
valley soil. I am going over the Santa Cruz
mountains in a few days to learn things about
vines, as that region produce* a flue quality of
marketable grapes. The snow la Los Angeles
Wednesday amounted to nothing, but neverthe
less, I am of the opinion that the weather la
southern California is Changing. Such bitter
cold at we bave had recently Is more than un
usual —it's uncanny and unnatural."
