Health and Beauty I By Dr. S*Va Bmata THE SUN TAN GRAZE The writer was called in one even ing to see three girls who had just returned from the seashore. They were accompanied by a black cocker spanieL Two of the girls had high fever and were in pain. Their backs were covered with blisters of all shapes and sixes. The third whs a dark brunette. From constant exposure to strong sunshine she had been deeply tanned. She escaped comparatively unscathed. As to the cocker spaniel, he was as frisky as ever and had suffered no ill effect*, whatever. In the early morning, the girls had driven to a distant beach. The sky was cloudless and the weather sultry. On arrival, they proceeded to put on backless bathing suits and sun them selves on the beach for some time where they remained for about three hours. The two girls who were quite sick and covered with blisters worked in stores. They had no previous experi ence of exposure to sunlight. Little did they dream that tender, untanned skin.that is suddenly bared for several hours to strong sunlight can become a source of illness, suffering and dan ger to life itself. What is the explanation of the fate that befalls all white people who sud denly expose their skins to strong sunlight even for an hour or two? Science gives us two reasons. There is a pigment that lies just under the skin which is called melanin. In ex amining the skin of the Negro with the microscope, especially if it came from one whose skin was black, you will find that the top layer or epider mis looks as though one had taken a paint brush and applied a black pig ment to the entire surface. This is the substance called melanin which pro tects him from the ultra violet rays of the sun. God himself gave the yellow and black races of the tropics this pigment to protect the red blood cells that lie just under the skin. It also acts as a covering for the delicate nerve end ings that are spread out like flowers very near the surface. In the dark races this melanin or pigment is distributed in the epider mis or top layer of the skin where CAMPEN'S JEWELERS EDENTON, N. C. m dn! n - ' rOOUBLE^ L.

Going back to ' our patients, the worst sufferer was a blonde. Her! skin was thin and fair. Consequently,' she had no protection. The thicker the skin, the less damage is inflicted upon it by sunlight. Constant exposure to sunshine toughens and hardens the skin. This accounts for the weatherbeaten ap pearance of the farmer who is con tinually in the sun. Each exposure i lays down a little tan and hardens the integument a little more each| time. The scientists call this process comification. It protects the body against the damage of over-exposure. . A- ■ ■ - - ... .

Experiment Station Publication Issued Many Tar Heel farmers could in crease their income considerably by using more care in choosing soils for crop production, says Gene Goldston of the North Carolina Agricultural Experiment Station. Goldston, head of a soil survey party operating in Duplin County, asserts that some farmers are unknowingly using their poorest soils for growing crops, while large areas of fine soil more suitable for crop raising go un cultivated.

The newly-released Experiment Sta tion report reveals results of hybrid breeding tests with cotton. In an article describing the development of . a “triple hybrid,” Dr. Gladys F. West, who is carrying on cotton breeding . work at the Station, says fifth genera ■ tion strains are now being tested. • These new plants have excellent fiber i strength, she says, and yields show [ definite improvement.
