 A few of thom, apparently boiiey- iue chat Che absence Of long dresses outside the head leaves Che imprea- sion chat something slucking with in have informed Che world chat bobbcd hair and business efficiency won't mix
 Several railroad onIccs have taken Che mme position os Che Chicago de- nar.mcut st0rc which notified iH feminine employees that they must either let thcr hair grow out or be let out themselves. and an manner 5f people are carrying Ono conuo- ycrsy to chat good old democratic form tho froc-ior-al column m Che newspapers
 And hero orc some of Che things tbcy wrote Che editors
 "Bobbcd hair girls may not be gap.d and suy-wc don't say they are-but you can't get around Che act Chat thoy look that way. And naturally O girl chat appears frIyoi- 3us is not wanted in business. even though she may actually be serious minded"
 "Grs hoyc % right Co wear their hair any way they see nc 80 long as it appears neat and respectable. and only a yapid and silly person would think for one minute chat because Che biuuto adonmonu were short and snappy Che owner was r.yoi- ous."
 "Bobbod hair is just one oi those foolish uds that chat crazy crew down in Greenwich Village started. Tho women around tho country really ought to know better chan Go Initiate hcm. but you know how young girls arc -thoy like to take un new tbues and you can not Gel. them anything Maybe Che o0.cos that arc putting a ban ou bobbcd hair win tcach them a lesson goodness only knows thoy need it"
 aBobbcd hair Is not Q foolish fad. 10 is One most sensible way for bus.- u,.s girls Go wear it They do not keep looking at Che mirror ou Che. lme. and 10 eiycs them Q chance Go. ryne a letter all Che way from "re- p.yne to your uyor' to "wc beg to remain" without having to hdget

 "Cuuuly che girls of our day dress moro sens.by chan hor rrandmo,hcrs did, and bobbed hair .s one of Che most sensible parts Of thc.r appearance. It is cooler and more comfortable and you do not have to stop work every lew m.n- utes to do it up. lt requires only a few minutes attention each day and always looks fresh and neat. and that gives a girl moro umo for scri- ous reading and other things Re- formers arc always criucis.ng cvcry- hur new and thcy get on my nerves. n. some of thse men had ever been cursed with long hair thcy would think twice before trying to ten Che young girls how to dress.
 And s1 it goes.
 In New York Che onu-bobs have confined hc.r campaign against abe breuated cultures Co writing their opinions and talking about them. Al f.w personnel directors Of large cone eerus have mid. with Che prccaution of requesting that their names not be used. chat thcy were seriously considering regulations against bobbed-ba.r types. But chat Is as ur as thc matter has gone.
 Some Of Che masculine employers gave mp hope of regulating it when they learned chat Che girls could easiy fool thcm With a few rub- bcr bands. couple of switches. somo hair pins and a comb. Che girls can camoudaeo their bobbed hair during business hours go that it f..l. nrudrruv Victorian
