NEGRO BOOK CONCERN
TO ENLARGE ITS SCOPE
Warren Book Company Effects Ar
engagements 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 it's field rather than
doing a purely local business.
The idea of expansion was gotten
from the suggestions of number of
friends who thought that book com
pany headed by Negro and selling
to the colored people of the country,
books of colored authors, would per-
form 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 Negro, for he had
nothing to do with it. On the other
hand he can we'll 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-
seriousness in other members of the
group.

There are any number of cases in

the pigment of the hair, leaving
grayness. In one interesting case,

turned gray over the left side of the

COLORED MASTER BARRIERS
ASSOCIATION
What Causes 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 grazing 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 i'll
health and gray hair are twin broth
ers of middle age. Worry must be
avoided Wherever 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-such
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 IS
would be quite likely to pass this ten
dency on to her daughter and it
would be foolish and futile to. waste
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
atiyes 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 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-
fled by fear. In the space of scarce
ly half an hour his coal black hair
had turned uniformly gray over his
entire head.
DIR. Lebar of Paris reports a case
of 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

PLAN DEFENSE
FOR WIDOW

MAYS LANDING, N. j..
Nov. 10.-Counsel for Mrs
Margaret Lilliendahl, accused
with Willis Beach of Staying
the woman s husband, conferred
here today on her defense.
The conference was between
Thomas H. McCarter, the
lawyer who was instrumental
in freeing Mrs. Hall and her
brothers of the charge of slay-
ing DR.. Hall, and Charles M
Phillips, personal attorney for
Mrs. Lilliendahl.
/. Study Case
The two lawyers met in the
chancery court here, where they
were on different legal matters,
and after disposing of their busi-
ness before the court, went into
a long detailed study of the case.
With the trial of the widow and
Beach, accused by the prosecution
of Staying the doctor as the result
of an alleged Glove pact" coming
up in little more than two weeks,
counsel patched together the de-
tense which they are confident
will result in the acquittal Of the
couple.
Both Are Reticent
Both attorneys were reticent to
discuss their plans after the con-
ference. but Phillips stated that
they believed the story of Mrs.
Lilliendahl that her husband was
slain by the two negroes who, she
says, jumped on the running board
of their automobile.
There is a. marked activity
among the attorneys and the
prosecutors office as the day of
the trial draws near. The prosecu.
ton is confident that it will con.
vict on its story Of the love
triangle. Attaches of the office
hint at startling evidence which
they will present to the jury. But
no inkling Of what this evidence
would be was forthcoming.
