COLORED MASTER BARBERS' ASSOCIATION What Cause* the Hair to Turn Gray? By R. C. Price There is an old adage to the effect that the glory of the young man is in his strength, and the beauty of the old man shines in his gray hair. This may be true, but it affords little sat isfaction for men or women approach ing middle age, who watch the en croach of the graying hair with a sickening realization of the fact that the noon day of life for them has passed, and that the tide of the years is hurrying them towards the land of the slanting shadows. When the cause of gray hair is rec ognized and the reason for the loss of pigment is understood, the pre ventive will suggest itself. First, of course, is the necessity for maintain ing sound physical health, for ill health and gray hair are twin broth ers of middle age. Worry must be avoided v nerever possible, for this induces oiliness, and the nutrition of the follicles is affected. This is prob ably due to an over-circulation of the blood in the scalp, which causes the over-activity of the oil glands. Anxiety, fear, melancholy thoughts and chronic headaches or pain from neuralgia—any condition that pro duces a drain on the nervous energy, helps the hair toward grayness. Broken rest, insomnia, restlessness, heavy business cares, overwork and nerve strain may hasten the process of whitening. Fevers and wasting diseases—euch as tuberculosis, anemia and malnutri tion—are frequent causes for gray hair. The tendency towards gray hair seems one of the easiest things to inherit. If your mother or father be came gray early in life, it is more than likely you will do likewise. A mother who had gray hair at 35 would be quite likely to pass this ten dency on to her daughter and it would be foolish and futile to9waste time and energy in lamenting so nat ural and inevitable an incident. Hardly a person but can recall one or more instances of friends or rel atives to whom grief or sorrow has come—who became gray in an in credibly short time. There are cases on record, however, of those who turned gray in a night. Dr. Pavey relates the case of a soldier who was taken prisoner, deprived of his uni form,’ and, entirely nude, was sur rounded by his captors and question ed. He began to tremble (violently and showed great terror and despair —indeed, he seemed actually stupe fied by fear. In the space of scarce ly half an hour his coal black hair had turned uniformly gray over his entire head. Dr. Lebar of Paris reports a case of a soldier aged 33, who having been blown into the air by a mine explosion, next day had locks of white hair on the left side of his head. The decoloration of the hair was complete from end to end, the long and short hairs being affected alike. There are any number of cases in medical lit erature proving that terror, for some unknown reason, wrings out the pigment of the hair, leaving grayness. In one interesting case, mentioned by Dr. Heinicke, the hair turned gray over the left side of the scalp periodically, under psychic ex altation, lasted for a few hours or Idays and then resumed its normal color. BETTER TRAVEL CONDITIONS SOUGHT Maryville, Tenn.—Efforts for bet ter conditions for colored passengers on railroads of the South were urged at the first fall meeting of the Inter racial Commission of East Tennessee at Maryville college last week. The secretary was directed to write other inter-racial commissions of the South for their co-operation to this end. The commission is composed of rep resentatives of Knoxville college, Maryville college, Morristown college, and University of Tennessee. NEGRO BOOK CONCERN TO ENLARGE ITS SCOPE Warren Book Company Effecta Ar rangements to Perform Wide Reaching Service The Warren Book company of Staten Island, New York, has recent ly made public plans of long stand ing as a result of which it will greatly widen its scope and will take the en tire country as its field rather than doing a purely local business. The idea of expansion was gotten from the suggestions of a number of friends who thought that a book com pany headed by a Negro and selling to the colored people of the country, books of colored authors, would per form a great service to the colored race. A genuine feeling of race pride is sweeping the country among our group, and the Negro is no longer ashamed of being a Negro, for he had nothing to do with it. On the other hand he can well feel proud of what others of the race have accomplished and is trying to make his own name for something. A good way to show greater pride in the race is to read literature of the race, so that the fame of the authors will spread and in turn help develop the right kind of race con sciousness in other members of the group.
