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.
