SECRETS OF
HEALTH
By Charles A. L. Reed,
M. ID.

IF YOU are married you, like
every other normal person,
u are inclined to indulge in
day dreams about the probable
characteristics of your probable
children.
You may be wondering AMONG
other things about the probable
color Of their hair.
The color of hair is determined
by the color Of the pigment in
the hair.
The standard colors are black,
brown, tow, yellow, red and gray,
due to the failure of the hair
follicle longer to furnish pig
ment.
There are various shades be-
tween these standards.
OF these, only red hair has any
eugenic significance, which &C.
cording to Davenport, in his
"Heredity in Relation to Eu-
genics'I Holt), arises from the
reputed antipathy of red-headed
people for red-headed people of
the other sex. Hair color is not
a Mendelian unit. That is, the
color of hair Is not transmitted
from one generation to another
according to a definite law of
heredity.
The study of it's transmission
has resulted in only a few tenta-
tive generalizations.
Children do not develop hair
darker than that of the darker
parent. That is, dark-haired chill.
dren are probably never bred from
flaxen.haired parents.
Red-haired parents beget red
haired children. Red-haired chill
dren may also come from parents
with glossy black hair--the gloss
of which being dependent upon
the presence of red pigment.
Hair color that does not ap.
pear in one generation is liable
to become dominant in the next.
Light-brown bred to light.
brown yields tow, yellow, golden
or red hair.
Slightly brown bred to slightly.
