ROBBED HAIR IS DOOMED,
 FASHION EXPERTS STATE
Its Effect on Ilapper Ruined by Its Adoption by Older Folk,
 Say National Coiffeurs

New York, Aug. 27.-Bobbed hair must go.
 Grimly determined, the National Hairdressers' Association, Inc, an- nounces it is planning it's third annual convention in the Hotel Pennsylvania the week of Sept 10 with that pur- pose in view.
 Bobbed hair must go. the commit tee says, because it's effect was ruined when the style was adopted by women of thirty or older
 F'lappers with bobbed hair are all right, say the hairdressers, but with the older generations taking to it as they have, the hairdressers are moved to rush forward with curls, switches and transformations. Besides long skirts and the present styles need long locks for harmony.
 Woman's crowning glory salso will be lifted off her ears in some of the styles that the convention will bring out in it's exhibit.
 The committee asserts that Cleo de Merode, music hall actress, and woman reporter who wrote her up. brought the hair down over tho ears seme twenty-five years ago They figure Cleo's influence should be on the wane by now, and that it is time somebody found out how much ears have changed.
