so THERE IS AN ANTI-GRAY-
 HAIR VITAMIN?

HAAR VAAAMANI
 Tn nutritional research and animal experimentation 1t has been recog. nized for q long time that some entity or factor in the vitafnin B co9npuex prevents the hair of ani. mals from turning gray premature. iy. Whether this anti-gray- factor is essential for the same purpose in human nutrition has been left in the field Of conjecture until the present time.
 Now the identity of the anh-gray- hair factor has been established. It is para amino -ben2oic acid. This has been used for many years as base for making the local aiiesthes tic novocaine ard for making tolu- enc for the manufacture of the explosive TINT (tri-nitro-to toluene) |. Although chemically Identified, 1t k not yet available irl . form pure enough for safe use for restoring the original normal color to hair that Is turning or has turned gray.
 Para. .aimino- -benzoic acid Is q synthetic, that Is. 1t is artihcially produced by the manufacturing chemist. Like other synthetic vie tamins, such aS thiamin (artificial Bi)and carotent (Synthetic or ars tihcial vitamin Al, 1t is probably less effective in human nutrition than the natural vitanin is. At any rate, in my judgment, 1t Is always better to take the entire natural Wtamin B complex than 1t is to take Just synthetic pure thiamin GID, for instance, no matter what the ifi- dicationS for the iGDlated Bl may be, It is well recognized today that fa- tural vitamin A is more effective than synthetic caroteEt in any circumstance.

Dearborn Test
B|adkout Called
Huge Success

The first blackout in the De-
troit area today was termed sue
cessful by civilian defense officials
of Dearborn where for 10 minutes
citizens and the huge defense cor
porations located there, practiced
for war.
There were no enemy bombers
overhead. but it was very grim
business for all who took part.
For 10 minutes from 6 10 6;10
O'Clock last night, Dearborn street
lights, signs, and the lights of busi-
ness places and defense factories
were doused.
BLACKOUT FORD PLANT
The huge Ford Motor Company.
working on defense orders, also
was BACKED out for the 10-minute
practice. Machines were stopped
and workers stood in darkness.
Only in the new Pratt Whitney
airplane motor building did work
continue. This building is espe-
cially constructed so its lights
cannot be seen from the air.
Under the direction of Mayor
John l.. Carey and Roscoe Sim
mons. civilian defense co-ordinator
for Dearborn, the city's % square
miles was thrown into blacknesS
as a test "of public cooperation"
considering that we had only
two hours to prepare for this
test 1 think that Ii was huge
success Mayor Carey ex-
planned.
AUTOS MOVE SLOWLY
Autos moved slowly on dark
Michigan avenue, between dark
rows of stores. Motorists used only
their small parking lights. Civilian
defense workers stationed at main
intersections yelled warnings at
motorists to dim their lights.
Even children participated in
the grim game. They ran yelling
through the streets telling house,
holders to turn out their lights. In
the business area people stood
quietly on the street corners
watching as the blackout became
effective and sign lights were
turned out one after the other.
AT the height of the test only
two neon signs and a few illumi-
mated billboards remained to guide
the imaginary enemy bombers to
their target.
WILL TRY 1T AGAIN
"Some time during the next
10 days we will try ii again."
Mayor Carey said. next time 1
am sure that we can make 1t
really total blackout."
In the two-hour warning period
before the blackout Police Chief
Emerys Evans sent scout cars to-
tell all merchants of the plan.
Firemen under the direction OF
Chief Roy Mottesheard assisted
the police. The Detroit Edison
Company co-operated in turning
out all Dearborn street lights. And
the Bell Telephone Company put
operators TO work warning fac
tories.
Radio stations helped to spread
the word of the blackout. And
only few people were puzzled
about what was happening.

Mr.. Beasley said his department in
tended originally to plant the seedl-
ings on the land which the State
owns in the vicinity of the tree, but
since the General Assembly and Gov

oak as the State tree, the department
would be willing to part with some of
them.
On May End Governor O'Conor
signed the bill making the white oak
the State tree. The Wye Oak was
said to have been the inspiration for
the bill.
This oak has been certified by the
