He pointed to spot ON the wall

tones that It was the 10th OF April
OF course I was embarrassed At my
stupidity. The bank clerk was kind
enough to reassure me by Informing
me that L was by no means an ex-
ception.
I'VE hang the calendar on that par
tfcular wall because that's where peo-
PIE make out their checks and their

never day passes that two or three

There are none so blind as those

If 1t were possible to estimate how

Let me tell you OF an interesting
and illuminating experiment along this
line. Ask some friend whom you re-
gard as or at least average inteIlf-
gence to take out the watch that he
has looked at probably a half dox&n
times a day as long an he has owned
It. Reckoning five times day, he has
looked at that watch eighteen hundred
and twenty-five times in q single year.
Surely every tiniest detail about IL
ought to be familiar to him. Now take
1t In your hand and ask him all the
questions you can think of about II.
Ask him whether the numerals are
Roman or Arabic: what u the exact
shape OF the hands; IL there II any
lettering on the watch and what It II:
how the minute subdivisions are I'm
dicated: whether there u q second
hand, II the seconds are marked on.
and II 30. how: whether the numerals
at the bottom Of both the second ana
minute circles are inverted or rieht
up. etc etc.
The average man will not be able
to answer more than thfee-Quarters
OF these questions.
Now II this experiment IL in re~ard

hailing the motor-driven vehicle as a

Commenting further he said:
"In encouraging and making it pos

cognized as a necessity, as has been made
apparent by the quickly insistent man
