Hundred Thousand Women
Want Locks Shorn by Own Sex
By ROY j. GIBBONS
Central Press Staff Writer

CHICAGO, April Zone hun
dred thousand Chicago women viii
petition the general assembly Of Il
linois to amend the law so that they
may have their locks shorn by wom-
en- hairdressers instead of men
BARRIERS.
If there are any doubts about the
innate modesty of modern women,
let this action speak finally for
! them.
Local barbering and hairdressing
| circles are in an uproar that threat
ems to bring on a hair-pulling match
unequalled in the history Of wind
blown hobs and boyish shingles.
Attorney General Rules
On one side are the master bar
bers, who demand that the state law,
which says that not a hair on the
! human head may be cut by any but
a licensed barber, be upheld rigidly
by the authorities. Heretofore,
beauty shop operators with appren-
tice barber licenses have been per-
bitted to bob hair. but by a recent
ruling of Attorney General Oscar
Carlstrom the legislation that per-
mitted this has been declared null
and void.
Women, unless they are lady bar
bers, may not bob, according to the
present status of affairs. The poeti-
cal version of the master BARRIERS is:
"It takes a mar to handle shears,
Or regulate the view of ears.
No woman would be asked to clip
The brush from off mans upper lip
There is more, to the effect that
beauticians. therefore, shouldn't take
over the job Of bobbing, but it isn't
important.
The battle cry of the beauty op-
orators, all of whom are members of
various hairdressing and beauty
schools, is diametrically opposed to
this thought:
Haircut. shave, SINCE, shampoo
We're the girls Of Beauty U.
Licenses and prohibiting laws

IbdW! TIdW! TbdW!
But the hairdressers, faced with a
large dimunition in their incomes as
a result of the ruling, have gone far
ther than COMPOSING campaign yellS.
Columbus D. Behan, Of the Chicago
and Illinois Hairdressers' associ-
alton, sent out petitions to deter
mine the extent of womanly mod
esty.
How many women would refuse to
go into a barber shop, he wanted to
know, if they could have their hair
trimmed in a curtained beauty shop
He sent out petitions to Chicago
women to find out.
I'VE. the undersigned, all citizens
of Illinois. do hereby request the
general assembly to amend the pres

reads.

women's hair is a part of a hair
dress and that a woman should be
allowed to have her complete hair
dress by a woman, although we do

President Hoover Is understood to

Justice Harlan Fiske Stone of the
United States Supreme Court as
chairman Of his national law en-
forcement commission.
information in some quarters Is
the former attorney general is re-
luctant to retire from the high
court to undertake the task which
the chief executive has announc-
ed will be entrusted to the com
mission - that of extensively
studying the whole federal judicial
and enforcement machinery and
submitting recommendations for its
reorganization.
Some friends of Justice Stone
have been urging him to accept the
appointment. They believe the
work of the commission will be the
most important of its kind in the
history of the nation and the
recommendations made should con-
stitute an enduring monument to
its authors.
Efforts of the president to have
Justice Stone form the arch around
which the commission personnel
will be built are believed to &C
count in the main for the unex-
pected delay in announcing the
members.
Justice Stone is intensely inter-
ested In the problem of law en-
forcement, and while attorney gen.
eral made several addresses before
bar associations and law enforce
ment committees urging the neces-
sity for the observance Of all laws
and their rigid enforcement. He
also proposed jail sentences for
violators of the prohibition laws as
