The Jarr Children Garry Sunshine
And Other Thinss-Into Brooklyn


by a patt.er OF juvenile feet on the walks
of the yards on either side. and the Jar
children were soon aware that at every
knothole In the fences there was an
o~bservant childish eye.
Miss Jarr opened her little silk parasol
and strutted up and down the walk like
a true damsel OF Manhattan. giving the
p~rovincdals Of Brooklyn a full Wow Of
what was real New York style and class
in clothes. Her whole air indicated an
assumption of calm superioity. al

be like US but try to DO a. like US as

Meanwhile. Master Jarr. only regret

of the fence. because the other line OF
eyes must observe him. ducked along
down the right-hand slde poking an
active finger through each knothole he
came to and into each young Brooklyn
eye that backed 1t.
Childish Screams greeted this cheerful
performance on Master Jarr's part. and
when the Brooklyn children or the oppo-
site hne of fence climbed up to see
more. the active New Yorker was ready
with handouts Of singing gravel to cut
thetr countenances with.
The next instant both lines of fences
were surmounted by indignant mothers.

@lO your eyes match your Job?
1t isn't a Joke. Eugenists-
people who are trying ex-
periments and making queer
- Investigations with the idea OF
creating a perfect race of men)-have
started the question.
Heretofore. when a man set out to be
a stenographer. a clerk. a lawyer or a
strike breaker, he did not look in tho
mirror n then consult a lea little
chart to see whether he had the color
OF eyes that would insure success In
the profession he had chosen.
II his eyes were blue n II ne found
that color went with some other line
Of business than the one he had picked
out. he did not change his plans accord
ingly.
But the eugenically regulated Man OF
the Future may do Just that.
or course, black eyes are often found
among pugilists. strike breakers and
other men who take up hectic profess
sions. And ever since the days of
James Fenimore Cooper, we have been
told that the cold gray eye Is prevalent
among marksmen. But, until lately.
the task OF matching has gone no
further.
At present. however. the eugenists
are struggling with the problem OF
whether eye-color is not associated
with chemical differences influencing
the character of the individual. says
the Scrap Book. 1t has been pointed
out that In the National Portrait Gal
lery in London tho pictures of cele'
brated mer and women are largely
grouped according to the vocations II
which they nav won fame, Ind tina
there a. a tendency for a given type o
%eye-oolor to predominant in some Of Oh,
