 Representatives of the Church league, who were recently given permission. to use the diamond, de- spite tho fact that 1t had already been granted to the Legion league teams, will be present at the meet ing, with park department officers endeavoring to smooth out the dff- ficulty which they themselves have created. The facts in the case are, as the writer is informed. the Church league did not file an application for use of any park baseball fields on or prior to April 20, when ap. plications ceased. The Legion league did ask for Hamilton park diamonds and were given them for Saturday afternoons until recently, when Church league officials step- ped in and asked for the diamond already being used by the Legion players on Saturdays. Unfortunate 1 ly, there were given permission to use the diamond whereupon the Legion athletic committee protested on the grounds that they had been given prior use of the field, and baked at playing their games at the Tod golf lots, such as was sug. gested.
 Representatives Barney Shea, chairman of the American Legion Athletic Com mittee, will probably do the tnlk- ing for his group, while William s. Curtis will probably represent the Church League. If the meet- ng Is not held tomorrow as tenta : lively scheduled, 1t will be held later in the week, prior to Satur. day.

Pasadena, Calif.-The question
"Why are blue eyes blue?" can be
answered at the William G.. Ker-
chof biological laboratories herr.
They are like the blue sky.
In fact, neither the blue sky, moi
the blue eyes, ale blue.
1t is just a matter of reflected
light that causes one to see them
in that restful color.
Blue eyes + really colorless:
biological research has revealed
there being an absence of pigment
in the outer layer of the iris, Sc
the inner layer is exposed. 1t con-
tains a whitish substance. The
reflected light makes this appeal
blhe because in the scattering of
light the shorter rays are scatter
ed more readily, and these short
wave lengths are in the blue spect-
rum. If longer wave lengths were
scattered more readily than short
er wave lengths these eyes and the
sky would appear yellow.
The scattering results when
light rays hit particles in the path
in which the light travels, and
the shorter wave lengths bounce
off.
Why Brown Eyes Are Brown
The blue eye color first estab-
lished itself in the more northern
parts of Europe.
Then comes the question "Why
are brown eyes brown?" Biologists
have found that brown eyes art
present in those people where there
is much brilliant sunlight. The
dark eye, or brown pigment, pro-

Genetic studies were reported tc
show eye color is transmitted
Blue-eyed parents Of pure blue
eyed stock transmit blue eyes tc
their offspring. A blue-eyed and
brown-eyed couple of pure stock
have brown-eyed children. But
three-fourths of the grandchildren
will have brown eyes and one
fourth blue.
The blue-eyed grandchildren
will transmit only the blue-eyeo
factors but the brown-eyed grand
children are in two groups, in the
ratio of two to one. The two

both brown and blue eyes, and the
one-third group transmits genes
for brown eyes only.
