ural color Of the hair is lacking the hairs
present a gray or white appearance. The
silvery color may further be due to the
presence of more or Tess air in the hair.
To account for the blanching of the hair
(the familiar accompaniment of old age
and a phenomenon which frequently be-
gins long before middle life is fairly con-
cluded) various views have been set forth
at different times. The silvery gray ap-
pearance which is seen in aging persons
is probably characterized to some extent
by the occurrence of larger numbers Of
air cavities, and not by the destruction Of
the pigment. Hair pigment can be de-
stroyed only by the most vigorous chem
ical treatment. Dry hairs contain more
air and. therefore. will appear somewhat
lighter in color than moist ones, but black
hair may be dried to the utmost without
becoming white, and the hair of num-
mics dried through the centuries still
show its pigment precisely as do fresh
hairs
The explanation Of the familiar color
changes of the hair is probably to be
found, not in a destruction Of pigment
already present, nor in any bleaching of
hairs already formed, but rather In a
complete renewal of the hair. Pigmented
hairs fall out and are replaced by unpig-
mented or white ones. The appearance
of gray or white hair is, therefore, at
tributable to the formation OF a new
hair coat rather than by the alteration of

Science EXPLODES Theory THAT SUDDEN
FRIGHT Will TURN the HAIR GRAY

THE attempt to find an Illuminating
account of the factors which may
modify or determine the growth of
hair will usually be a vain one.
The older writers, who did not always
hesitate to make dogmatic statements
when they were required to produce
finished account, sometimes discussed the
subject with considerable freedom. Not
so the modern scientific author, who real
ICES that every sentence from his pen is
likely to be subjected to the scrutiny and
criticismSo OF someone who has studied the
topic at first hand. The general descrip-
tons of the processes of growth have
been satisfactory. Facts concerning these
processes are permanent acquisitions of
physiology, but they do not commonly
rise to the level of practical problems
Why does or does not the hair grow in
certain regions on certain individuals?
What are the conditions contributory to
growth? How are the natural changes
in color brought about and what deter.
mines them?
Experimental studies in this field can
not readily be conducted on man. Ger
tain facts are, of course, matters of COM
mon observation. The beard grows anew
after shaving, and this tonsorial practice
is believed to stimulate the growth OF
the hair. Precisely why 1t does is not
clear. The beard is also said to grow
more rapidly in summer

No BROWN
or GRAY
EYES, Says
an Expert

THERE are no brown eyes, blue eyes,
gray eyes or black eyes. says Lieu
tenant Fred Quaekenbush, of the
Bertillon bureau Of the Detroit police de-
partment. The "steel gray" eye, so exclu-
sively used in novels, Is q myth, in the
opinion of Quackenbush, who quotes au-
thorities to prove he is right
The brown eye is referred to by police
experts as the medium maroon or the
dark maroon. In smashing romantic ira
dition, Lieutenant Quackenbush points
out that the gray eye is usually blue
eye, or what is commonly known as blue
eve, in which there is something of yel-
lowish tinge caused by the shadows cast
by the eyebrows. The deep-toned gray
eye is designated in the Bertillon sys-
tenn as a slate blue. and those OF lighter
tone as intermediate violet. The so-called
black eye is designated either as deep
maroon or deep slate blue.
Eyes are divided into two great classes
one is the blue, or Hnpigmented, and
the pure maroon. These are the seven d.
visions: Iris unpigmented; iris pigment
ed with yellow; iris pigmented with
orange; iris pigmented with chestnut;
iris pigmented with maroon grouped in
circle, iris pigmented with maroon
streaked with green tint, and iris pig
mented with pure maroon.
