Here lies the buried raee-mem-
ory, right in you, holding all the
history Of the ages, from amoeba
to man.
It lies quiescent or quietly
sleeping in the Unconscious; some
times it stirs, and you recall some
thing from the past.
Psychologists all over the world
are developing methods to tap this
unconscious memory-both the
personal and the radical one; and
they are succeeding in wonderful
ways.
From the depths Of buried mem
ory emerges that still small
voice" that has been called con-
science.
This is the guide.
1t is the child Of memory-for
it is born of previous experiences
which have been fatal to two Of
our instincts: the instints of self
preservation and Of growth. These
are the two instincts that look
after the individuals welfare; the
third instinct Of reproduction is
the one that takes care of the well
fare and growth Of the race.
Now conscience cares first for
the individual Of whose memory 1t
is the offspring.

ence is marvellous.

1t cares first for the individual
because 1t knows that if it takes
good care of him and guides his
two instincts of self-preservation
and growth, then the race benefits;
and the third instinct Of reprodue-
ton is also bettered.
Conscience lifts its head and
makes itself heard and felt when
we are on the verge Of repeating
a past error, one that we have per-
haps forgotten, but that the uncon-
scious holds for US. We know bet
ter unconsciously.
From error comes wisdom, and
COINCIDENCE, translated, means with
science or with wisdom.
So this inner guide-fortified
with all the wisdom of the million

Mabel Dodge Tells About the Unconscious
Overcom FromE Come sdom
Overcome Sin.
All Secrets Are Yours.

THE Unconscious is so little
explored and understood
that modern psychologists
can only call it by q name
which signifies what it is not
1t is not the conscious part Of
It is not the body, performing
its different tasks.
It is not the brain, with its
thought-producing mind.
It is not the five senses, telling
us what we perceive.
These all lie on the surface Of
Us.
The Unconscious is the vast sub
merged part Of US.
1t is, to our conscious selves, as
the depth of the lake is to its
own surface.
We are eternally fishing in this
depth.
All that we know we have
brought up from the Unconscious
to the surface Of US.
All that we will ever know We
will likewise find buried deep with
in ourselves, below the surface Of
the conscious.
If the whole duty Of man were
written in one law, it would be to
add to the consciousness Of life
that we have already conquered.
To be more conscious Of things,
more understanding Of human ma
ture, more on to ourselves, Is the
only way to overcome sin, disease
and war.
Besides all the wonderful pow
ers and faculties that lie hidden
below your surface, which as yet
you know nothing Of, are some
that you have felt vaguely work
ing In you.
Here lie the instincts-the in

that is to evolve just at our own
tempo, in our own good time, no
faster or slower than we please.
But one thing is noticeable. II
we don't hstn to the guide who
would save time for US and help rs
along at a good pace, we are side
tracked. We are nos allowed to
sit heavily in the path Of evolution
repeating the same mistakes over
and over.
All, no; we are, scarcely realiz-
ing it, gently pushed out Of the
way of the forward-moving mass
Of humanity, where we can sit on
the side of the road and go on for
an eternity repeating that two and
two make three, if we want to.
My personal opinion is that this
explains monkeys; group which
prefer not to hurry on, but want to
remain swinging in trees by their
tails.
OF course, in the end-no matter
how long after-we always join
in the procession again. We al
ways have to give up repeating
our pet mistake; no one escapes
the law of growth, no matter how
long he defers it.

TO CLOSE CORBIN AVENJ7E

As an aftermath of the building of an overhead bridge several months ago by the board of public works, by which the dangerous crossing on Cor bin avenue was eliminated, an addi- tional problem has been encountered by the board. At hearing to be held Tuesday night it is expected that all those concerned will have the prob
 lem disposed of by them in a satis
 factory manner. The proposition is to close the old Corbin avenue road, which is no longer being used, provid- ed the property owners agree with this plan. At the meeting on Tues day night a hearing will be given on the proposed street lines on Stanley street between East Main street and the railroad crossing on both sides.

RECRUITS NEEDED
 FOR RED CROSS
If You Can Sew, You Can Do
 Your Bit

The Red Cross society has been l prominent the past week because of its large parade in New York, which was witnessed by many citizens. AL though New Britain was not repre- sented in the ranks of the parade, it Is largely represented in the ranks of the society by its excellent work and enthusiasm. All women in the city are asked to join in this procession or service to humanity. The follow ing are suggestions for being useful 1 in this work:@ FF .., If organizations doing Red Cross sewing will concentrate on tho mak- l Ing of one kind of article, it will ma- i terially increase the output and save considerable time.
 You are urged to take oonvalescent robes and children's clothes to sew as these are particularly needed just now.
 There Is a shortage of sewing ma- chimes at the work rooms. The loan of machines for time will be ap preciated. If you have none to lend. you can "do your bit" by renting 0 machine for the Red Cross. Special rates are made by the sewing machine agencies on machines for this work.
 Send in any scraps of yarn you may have-in any kind or color. These are used for finishing the edges of the mems bed socks and for knitting infants blankets in variegated colors.
 "Children's Christmas Box" will be sent to France. Donations of money, toys and new warm clothing will be gladly received. Contribu- h. IS. Your gift will carry ray of sunshine to one of the French or phans who have little enough condu- cive to Merry Christmas"
 The little jingle below, followed up, will be of great help to the "Jelly and Jam" committee, who are putting in much time and effort in collecting for the hospitals of France:
 When you have jelly or jam for me, Please call one-fve-two, ring three; And when I come to get the same, I'll thank you in the soldiers name"
 Red Cross Notes.
 Beginning Friday, October 19, the weekly church sewing meetings will be held at St. Marks church, on West Main street, instead of at the Meth- odist church as heretofore.
 It HdS been the OoS1ro or the ReQ Cross and Mayor Quigley to furnish sweaters for the drafted army. and this has been made possible by the cooperation of the American Hosiery company, which, although already cutting large number of garments for the Red Cross, is willing to take on the added labor of knitting sweat CTS which will be finished by the women in the Red Cross rooms. It is hoped that in this way, enough sweaters can be secured for every New Britain man at the encampment at Aver. Anyone wishing to help in this useful work can do so by going to the Red Cross rooms any day next week and giving an hour or two of their time.
 B. s. Hart has very generously given the use of his block at 427 West Main street for Red Cross work, and a branch has been established there for the convenience of those Living in the western part of the city. It is hoped that many of the women in that vii ciinity will take advantage of the op- portunity to help with the sewing. The rooms are open from to 5 o'clock every afternoon.
 The Court street rooms will be open Monday evenings for sewing and sur gical dressings.
