BULL MOOSERS,
STANDPATTERS
GET POSTS
Wheeler Is Only Progressive
Of Party Able to Get
His Men Placed

Patronage squabbles, which
broke this week with a bang, re-
veal another angle today, in the
indication that the liberal and
progressive wing Of the Demo
cratic party appears to have been
pretty much left out in the cold
IN the distribution Of jobs.
Recently the Young Democrats
enunciated a vigorous protest
against the appointment Of nu-
merous Republicans in the Admin
istration. Now the shake-up in
the National Committee and the
prospective retirement, long fore
Shadowed, of Emil Hurja from the
scene, direct attention once more
to the difficulties of deserving
Democrats.
Selections Mystifying
It is no secret that a good
many Democrats have been con-
giderably mystified by the selec-
tionS made by certain appointing
officers for important posts in the
Roosevelt Administration. Both
the Young Democrats and the
Hurja episode have called atten-
ton to the numerous appoint
ments Of Republicans to jobs. but
It happens that many Of the Re
publicans thus named are ex-Bull
Moosers, of whom Ickes himself
Is one.
The old-line conservative Demo
Gratis have not had much diff
Guilty in placing party men in
some Of the Government agencies.
Until recently, the Home Owners
Loan Corporation was being filled
I'D with nominees of party men,
but some of these did not turn
out so well and somewhat less
emphasis is placed on party regu-
larity now.
Bull MoOsers Counted
It is also noteworthy that the
former Bull MooSerS, such as
Senator Hiram w. Johnson (R0
Of California. have had consider
able influence with the Demo.
cratic Administration, and that
the Northwestern Republican Pro
gressives, notably Senator Robert
M. La Toilette (R.) of Wisconsin,
seem to be courted by the Admin
iStration.
The real forgotten men" in the
Roosevelt camp seem to be the
Democratic progreSsiveS. Senator
Burton K. Wheeler I'D OF Mon.
tana, one of the first and most
active of Roosevelt boosters. has
been about the only one in this
group who has been conSpicuously
successful in placing his constitu-
ents in jobs where they shine
refulgently.
Liberals Divided
The ''liberals" and "progres-
sives" in the executive branch OF
the government service apparently
have disowned their confereS in
Congress, if indeed they ever
heard Of them. They are much
concerned, according to their
public statements, with seeking
efficient men for jobs, and they
view party endorsements askance.
The liberals and progreSSives IN
the Democratic camp on Capitol
Hill, some of whom feel rather
keenly that they have been
sighted, are Of the opinion, first.
that they can be trusted to sug-
Rest candidates who would go
along with the Roosevelt program,
and second, that if the Roosevelt
program is to have any liberal
aspects whatsoever, it should not
be sabotaged by loading UP the
ranks with stand-pat Democrats
or Republicans.

 This May Day observance, cole.
 hrnted today, is dedicated to tho child of Amanica to remind us that
 persons .nre moro precious than property and that tho growth of a personality is of greater value than the accumulation of material prof It's. Thero cannot bo anything desperately or permanently amiss with continent of families while, every token of child health regis tors improvement.
 We have learned how necessary it is to guard the happiness, tho physical vigor, tho way of life of the mother waiting for the baby's birth. There Is the almost univer- sal custom of medical and nursing guidance for the healthy babe ovory month or so until it becomes a runabout child. Parents havc learned the value of the summer roundup, or tho soml-annuuI
 round-up, or tho semi-annual health revlew of each child to in- sure esuninterruptod growth and de- |volopment. Tho school by teach' inE and example lays tho founda. ton for knowledge and lifelong use of the habits of good health. Good government has guarnn. teed widely over tho country clean wGtor and clean milk; good house.
 keeping has brought clean clothes and clean dishes; good health hab- It's bring clean bodies and clean
 minds. Look to your health de. pnrtmcnt for leadership in child
 health; rely upon your physicians and nurses to tell you how to prac.. tlse health In nursery, playgrouni
 and school; create volunteer forces to meet unusual needs and discover
 new ways of child protection.

The Child's Eyes
By Irving wcIss, B. s., Q. D.

The normal child is born far sighted" a defect which Is scien- tiflcaiIy called "Hyperopia". At about the age of three tho child learns to use both eyes together, but normally some hyperopic error still remains. Along with growth in stature, the chiid's eyes slowly outgrow the congenital hyperopic defect, and if tho child develops sufficiently there should exist very little if any error at the age or eight or nine.
 The majority of people with eye defects to-day are subjects or either over er-development or under development. If the eyes of a child ut the age of ten still retain some of tho original and normal defect. this person will continue the rest of his life with tho same amount of defect, "Hyperone". However, if the development of the child's eyes goes beyond the per- lection stage, he becomes q My ope" or near-sighted individual. Myopia, which Is the opposite or Hypcropia, does not remain the same after the age of ten, but has n tendency to develop or progress up to the age of IS.
 Parents are often worried about their ability to recognize eye-de- fleets in their children. The follow ing list of symptoms should be or some help. If your child mani- fests any one or a group Of these symptoms, 1t Is likely that he has an eye disturbance:
 1. Inability to see the black board.
 2. Browning. scowling, squlnt- ing, or hang-dog expression.
 3. Habitual tilting of head. 1. Desire to hold reading matter or toys closer to eyes than four teen inches.
 6. Headaches, especially tenn porai and over the eyes. c. Inability to work or read very long without fatigue. z. Strabiemus. tcross-eyes or. wall-eyeH).
