The highest development of vision requires not only visual acuity, a well-developed sense of depth perception. Vision with a single
eye lacks this sense of depth, just as a photograph falls to give
solidity to objects. The old-fashioned stereopticon ‘pictures gave the illusion of depth by using two : slightly dissimilar pictures, taken with a camera having two lenses ~placed a short distance apart, like the eyes. + If one looks at some object with one eye closed and then ; the other, the Dr, Masters Tight eye sees more of the right side of the object, and the left eye sees more of the left side. ~ Then, when one looks at the same object with both eyes, the two different images are fused by the brain. »
Two Images Fuse
This composite image has dis- , guised in it parts of each separate { image. By fusing these two dissimilar images, the brain is capable of detecting depth, It is this faculty that assists in making possible the meticulous coordination of eye and hand that has given man the degree of control over his environment that he possesses. In order that this perception of depth. can be accomplished, the muscles that control the eye movements must work in perfect unison to insure the two eyes moving as an entity. 3 In early infancy, only one eye or the other will fix on an obJect, and will remain on it only momentarily. It is not until the fifth or sixth week of life that an infant will fix both eyes on a light. The ability to do so even then is so feeble that.one eye may be deflected with the slightest interference.
Vision Develops Early
But at about the age of 5 or 6 months, the ability to fix both . eyes with exact parallelism, maintained in spite of obstacles, begins, and toward the end of the , first year it is complete. This gradual development of binochular vision comes from the fact that an infant at birth does not possess this ability, but must

acquire it through experience, until it ultimately becomes. a habit. When the vision in the two eyes is unequal, for various reasons, the image of the better eye ‘is employed, and “if that from the poorer eye interferes, this image is suppressed by the brain. At the same time, the poorer eye tends to deviate from the object and the child is said to be crosseyed. : From what has been said, it is apparent that the inability to maintain parallelism of the eyes is normal until the fifth or sixth month, and under certain circumstances, may be present sporadically until nearly the end of the first year. Beyond the first year, if the condition persists, the child should be examined by a physician trained in diseases of the eye. Usually much can be done to correct such a difficulty.
INJURIES ARE FATAL T0 HIT-RUN VICTIM
George J. Knoop, 73, of 238% N. Keystone ave., died in City hospital today—the victim of a hit-and-run driver. He was struck and injured while crossing E. Washington st. in the 2200 block on the night of June 9. Seven witnesses told police that the motorist who struck him sped westward. None was able to obtain the license number. Mr. Knoop was a lifelong resident here. He was a night watchman for the Sam Wolff Auto Co. He is survived by his wife, Anna; three sons, Julius, Elmer and Lawrence, all of Indianapolis, and a daughter, Mrs. Alma Overbeck, Indianapolis. He was a member ofthe Trinity Lutheran church. Funeral arrangements have not been completed.

STOCKS AGAIN | ARE NORMAL
OPA Assures Public That It ‘Will Benefit From Good Supply.
WASHINGTON, June 16 (U. P.).’ —Coffee stocks have returned to normal for the first time in a year, office of price administration officials disclosed today and every in-
dication points to an increase in|
summer coffee rations. Rationing officials are studying the prospects for continued large imports with a view to determining how large to make the new individual ration, which begins July 1. Price Administrator Prentiss M. Brown, in announcing the current ration which is the most generous since the advent of the program last November, assured the public that it would receive the benefit of supply increases whenever they exist. Supply in Warehouses
Official estimates show that warehouses now contain about 400,000,000 pounds of green coffee—a three months’ supply—and more is coming in every day. Normal supply is about 450,000,000 but a spokesman explained. that current stocks are “controlled” and therefore stretch further than an uncontrolled supply. The supply is the highest since last June. : Another indication of. possible relaxation of the present ration of one pound per person for periods ranging from four to six weeks is the fact that not as many coffee ration stamps have been cashed as expected. An OPA spokesman said that after eight months of coffee rationing, it has been determined that civilian consumption of coffee has not been as great as was anticipated.

BATTLE OF BUGS IN FULL SWING
Gardens That Escaped High Water Have Another
Problem Now.
By DOROTHY BRANNAN
Victory gardens that were high and dry during recent floods are not so fortunate where insect pests are concerned. The bug army is waging offensive warfare against all gardeners. The fight can be won and the pests wiped out—but only if the gardener
watches his plants carefully and sprays at the first sign of the enemy. Most insects can be controlled by the use of dusts and sprays. When it can be obtained, rotenone is recommended. It may be purchased in one-pound packages without the necessity of signing a use-pledge.
Must Sign Pledge
To obtain amounts of rotenone above one pound the purchaser must sign a pledge stating that he will use it only on peas, beans, turnips,
kohl rabi and corn. Pyretheum, which may be purchased in three-pound lots without restriction will give the same protection as rotenone but it is hard to get and is a little more expensive. Liquid Pyretheum may be easier to obtain than dry, according to A. A. Irwin, assistant county agricultural agent. When more than three pounds of pyretheum are bought the same use-pledge necessary for purchasing rotenone must be signed. Cautions Sprayers
Mr. Irwin pointed out that other sprays may be used when the nonpoisonous rotenone or pyretheum is not available. The user should be careful, however, not to use poisonous sprays on fruits or vegetables that are ready for consumption. Gardeness using such mixtures as cryolite and copper compound and arsenical-copper compound should use them only on young plants or when the fruit is very small. The arsenical-copper compound is especially effective for combating pests on potatoes, tomatoes, cucumbers and melons. Spray Both Sides Dry insecticides may be applied with spray guns or may be shaken from cans having perforated tops. If liquid sprays are preferred the gardener will find it necessary to purchase a special spray gun for the purpose. When making the applications care should be taken to spray both the top and the underside of the

RUSS PENETRATE NAZI OREL LINE
Capture Strategic River Barrier in Heavy Fighting.
MOSCOW, June 16 (U. P.)— Fair-sized Russian attacks north of Orel have carried across a strategic river barrier and penetrated German defenses to a considerable depth in some ‘of the heaviest fighting of the summer on the Russian front, field dispatches said today. A battle of indeterminate scope and possibilities was reported raging through its third day near Mtsensk, 30 miles northeast of Orel. Russian assault forces which wedged into the German positions were ‘said to have held all their gains against determined counter-attacks. ‘(The dispatch gave the first Russian confirmation to Berlin radio reports of the last several days that the Red army was at-
Orel sector and conceding it some measure of success.) The battleground lay between
