Th Zl e Lowest Priced Car with Fluid-Drive 3 ra aas : L. L RICHARDSON Dallas, Pennsylvania Your Health From the Medical Society of the State of Pennsylvania and the Luzerne County Medical Society “Doctor, what do you have for gray hairs?” “Only the madam.” There is no recognized treatment for the prevention or cure of gray- ing of the hair. The normal color of the hair is maintained by the presence of a dark pigment or coloring matter known as melanin. Some persons are born with an absence of this pigment and others acquire this lack. Albinos are a type of person born without pigment not only in the skin but in the hair and eyes, and their skin is pale, hair white and eyes pink. Graying of the hair usually be- gins between the thirty-fifth and fortieth year, but in premature types it may begin before the twentieth year. The graying of hair due to old age begins earlier in males than in females, with the hair at the temples being affected first. Graying of the hair does not indicate any slowing down of men- tal or physical vigor other than the normal aging process. There is one treatment for gray hairs which doctors frequently sug- gest for women who are sensitive regarding their whitening hairs. This is dyeing or restoring the hair with henna rinses, the least harmful of preparations for darken- ing the hair. Some silver and lead prepara- tions have proven dangerous as they have led to metallic poisoning. Those who accept their graying hairs with equanimity are sensible. greatest respect, DO YOU KNOW 2 The Greek death rate from tuber- culosis is reported to be between 250 and 450 per 100,000 of popu- lation as compared with 40 in the United States.

I am ‘sitting at the typewriter Tuesday evening, after the help has left, trying to con- coct something for this week’s column—when the Pied Piper sloshes over from the house with two bowls of feed and asks if Eric—the red— is here. Eric is the gaunt Irish Setter with soft brown eyes that has been underfoot all day; or when he hasn't, has been licking our hands or steal- ing envelopes off the desk and chewing them up with puppy facetiousness. The Pied Piper walks in and Eric leaps from his sleep on the floor. | Quicker than you could say “Jack Robinson” he gobbles the bread and milk in the aluminum dish, then turns to the dog food in the ron stone : ‘ bowl—wolfs its down and looks for more. Outside, dejected, on the stoop are Golden Tom, Stripes, and Snoozie, our cats, that followed the Pied- Piper all the way from the house. If you read it in a book you wouldn't believe it—how animals and men follow a woman that has feod around. Animals have sense. They never let looks or a pocketbook warp their judgement or divide their affections. Eric—the red, is a beautiful dog. Someone’s pet, no doubt, but he has no collar, license, or fat on his ribs—things he would surely have if the devotion he shows for man were returned in full measure. Dogs, cats, kids, an opossum, and now and then a skunk have a way of gravitating to The Post. We hope it will ever be thus, and that there will be food enough to go around; and there will be so long as the Pied Piper has a crust—or a pint of cream to share. Traveling Man Returns At the risk of violating a confidence, we’d like to mention that a neighbor of ours was overjoyed this week when a familiar scratching was heard at the door. Investigation revealed a plump grey squirrel, sleek and with a beautiful coat, insisting on coming in for breakfast. He had been away for five months, and long since mourned as a casualty of the small game season; but there he was more chipper than ever, up to his old tricks of begging for peanuts and clutching at the hand that held them. A man about town if there ever was one, and more wel- come than the first daffodil in spring. Tracks In The Snow The sprinkling of powdery snow on Monday revealed some interest- ing visitors to the Barnyard. Their calling cards were all over the lot when we turned on the floodlight to go down and close the chicken coop door at midnight. There were choppy, hoppity-hop trails and faint brush marks where belly hair had trailed between the hops. For a while they had us guess- ing when they stopped abruptly at the chicken house. Maybe a skunk we thought. Then we guessed the answer. Sandy, the canny Scot, over for a call from Murray Scureman’s next door. Sandy’s short legs make those short hops necessary if he is to travel in the snow, and his belly drags along in between. Then there were tracks of our three cats revealing that they make a thorough round of the premises, keeping an alert watch under the many rabbit and bird tracks, there was no evidence of tragic encounters with cats or dogs. All trails, except the rabbits, led eventually to the garbage can, including mine—which confirmed what I have long sus- pected—that even with me it is the most frequented spot in the Barn- yard. MAY Is The Time ; Flicka, Dewey Edwards’ sorrel pony, protests mightily at the queer stirrings of nature that are beyond her comprehension and kicks her sharply shod feet against her stall. For a long time we thought it was the devilishness of her Western ancestors cropping out in their daughter that made those flashing hooves lash out at the stall windows in revolt against being cooped up in a stall for the winter. But under the gentle petting of Ralph Rood, she kicks less and less, except late at night and early mornings when we want to sleep. Somtimes she makes the roof rattle and the windows shudder; but that, we believe, is when she feels uncomfortable. Flicka ‘is in foal™ "Ma¥ is the time. She will*be worse before she is better and so, we suspect, will be the barn, and our sleep. A Classmate Dies ; Dartmouth Alumni magazine arrived last night chronicling the death of classmates and turning our thoughts to a day in September 1923 when we met bronzed, short, Frederick Stubbs on the Freshman Commons Terrace in Hanover, New Hampshire. A handsome lad, he was, with a flashing smile and the clear brown skin that youngsters envy at sum- mer beaches. Frederick Douglass Stubbs is dead. Died of a heart attack while on a visit to New York City, and the alumni magazines goes on to say: “Stubby” as he was known to all of the class, was born in Wilmington, Delaware, the son of Dr. J. Bacon and Florence Williams Stubbs. He prepared for Dartmouth at Cushing Academy. In college he was a mem- ber of Phi Beta Kappa, The Arts, Dartmouth Outing Club and a . . . . biological society. “After graduating from Dartmouth, he received his M.D. from Har- vard where he was an honor student. He interned at Cleveland City Hospital for two years. He was appointed to the staff of Philadelphia General Hospital where he was chief surgeon in the thoracic department. He was also on the staff of Frederick Douglass, Mercy and Jefferson hos- pitals, and director of the City Health Center of Philadelphia. Recog- nized as the outstanding . . . . thoracic surgeon in the United States, Dr. Stubbs did an outstanding pioneering job in the surgical battle against tuberculosis. He was elected to the American College of Surgeons. “In June 1934, “Stubby” was married to Marion V. Turner, Phila- delphia concert pianist, who survives him with their two daughters, Fredericka, 6, and Patricia, 10. His mother also survives.” Dead at 41. We pause and bow our heads to honor a great sur- geon, a stalwart son of Dartmouth—who won his “D” in life. Frederick Douglass Stubbs, an American first—a negro by birth.
