who concentrates much of his atten-
tion on the road Immediately before
him will not see impediments far
enough in advance to begin gradual
movement to avoid them, but will
take quick turns to swing out or
around holes, stones and other OBJ
structions. Then, when his attention
is fixed upon the particular thing he
is avoiding, he will be unprepared
for the next, which he will not see
until he is right on it.
The human eye is like camera
in this respect. When it is focused
on distance, the immediate foreground
is in fairly good focus, but when
focused only at a short distance,
the background is very indistinct.
Consequently, the driver who watches
the road at the point of disappear
ance will find that the foreground
takes care of itself-that is, he will
subconsciously direct the movements
of his machine without any distraction
of his attention from what Is fur
ther on.

LONDON IS AMAZED
BY SLUMP IN WOOL
Price Drop of 40 Per Cent in
Four Months TaS Created
Near-Panic.
By the Associated Press.

LONDON, May 1.-THE remarkable
slump in wool prices is attracting at
tention, the prices having fallen about
40 per cent in four months without
much apparent cause. Buyers, 1t fs
said, miscalculated the rate OF con-
sumption and consequently have many
thousands of bales on hand, but not
enough to account for the slump.
Sir Arthur 'Goldfinch, director of
war materials during the World War
and an authority on wool, is quoted
by the Daily Mail as saying that the
surplus Is very small as compared
with the. average consumption, but
that owing to it something like panic
now is occurring,
The Melbourne correspondent of the
Daily Telegraph reports that a coun-
ell of Australian wool brokers unani-
mously resolved yesterday that II is
desirable to suspend all wool sales
throughout Australia until July ]. and
il was actually decided that there
should be no sales in Australia for a
week.
1t has been suggested that the May
sales. just opened in London. be aban-
doned. but it is understood that the
suggestion was vetoed, although 1t Is
expected a large amount will be with
drawn. About $50 bales were offered
yesterday, but there was little de-
mand, and many lots were withdrawn.
In some quarters, however, the opin-
ion is expressed that there may soon
be sharp upward reaction.

BALTIMORE. May Operating
revenues of the Western Maryland

Mr., Oil has proof to back up his
argument During the past year,
Mr. OIL has sold more harness than
any of the eight years in which
he has been in business here, this
N spite, of the number of automo-

drawn vehicles, on the. highway.
There is probably not farmer in

team or more of horses. he may
have tractor and Ford but still
he must have a horse, and SO in
spite of what might appear to be
evidence to the contrary. the har-
less business is good and prowins
better" n
Perhaps the growth of business
the past>year may be at least
partially due to wartime economy,
traps and buckles that were mend
I'd to do service during those days
lave finally given out and must be
eplaced.
So when Mr.. Farmer comes into
he Oil shop to get a new top for
Lizzie, or to have few stitches
1ut in her old bonnet, he very pro-
)ably at the same time buys Dob
)in something new in the way of
he latest ready-to- wear harness
and thus happy medium is
struck.
