Its development may have been interfered with by a difference in two eyes, one being far-sighted, the other nearsghted,, or there may be other differences which interfreed with harmonious action. The child cannot focus both eyes on an object at the same time, so in order to avoid the dis

comfort or strain of effect, the weak

Is the result.

more rapid in the very young than In

older children. If a child begins to

(FROM THE TluES' Ml IHOIANAPuLIS BUREAU)

TIMES BUREAU. AT STATE CAPITAL.;

Indianapolis, Ind., Dec 15. Senator

John W. Kern Is said to be sore at Myor-elect Bell, of this city, because

Bell did not appoint a Democrat whom Kern - had recommended for one of the minor positions In the Bell administration. This Is said to have made . it practically a certainty that Kern will not recommend Reginald H. Sullivan, of this city, for appointment as United States district attorney. If Sullivan falls to land, the choice will fall on Frank Dalley, of Bluffton, according to the best information that can be obtained here. " - , There has been much speculation as to why the two Indiana senators have not made! their recommendations for the various federal Jobs in Indiana, and why they have postponed for so long the announcement of their choices for these places.! Weeks ago It was given out that they . would recommend men for internal revenue collectors within the next two weeks. Reports even went-so far as to fixe two weeks ago today as the day on which the recommendations would be made to the Secretary of the Treasury. But something seems tb have slipped, for not a word has been made public. It will be remembered that at the time these two places were under serious consideration by the senators Thomas Taggart was at Washington with Sullivan, and he was boosting Sullivan . for district . attorney. It Is understood that Taggart would rather have Sullivan appointed to the district attorneyship than to have any other federal appointment that he knows of. Sullivan, a fine young man, has been

identified with, the Democratic machine

In politics. He Is now the Democratic cocnty chairman of Marion county and the head of that rna.chine organization. It .la understood here that Taggart'a activities In behalf of Sullivan havi complicated the situation with reference to othe rappolntments in Indiana, and it Is not known now when anything will be announced along that line. Senator Kern trlod . to keep out of the Indianapolis city campaign this fall, because he did not wish to get Into any mlxup with anyone. For a long time he was Importuned to oome out here and make a speech in Bell's behalf, because at that time the Bell prospects were anything but rosy. Finally, however, he consented to come and make a speech, and a rousing big meeting was held In a theater a few days before the election. He made his speech and went back to Washington. It is said that after Bell's election Kern gave his recommendation to a man that wanted an appointment in the city administration, but the man failed to land, and this is said to have caused Kern to feel that there Is not much gratitude in the human heart especially In politics. Another thlntr that is said to have nettled Kern Is the fact that Bell appointed as chief of police a man who Is a political enemy of Kern. I Altogether, the belle here Is that Sullivan's chances have faded and that Bailey will be the man for the district attorney. '
