May of | Shears Kept Busy From Dawn to Dark as Capital Femininity Lose T esses—Special Razors Used to Complete Operation. Bobbed hair, once regarded as a fad come such a matter of course that beauty parlors of Washington are fast becoming barber shops. This was shown today in a casual inspec- tion of some of these establishments by a timid male. From early morning until night in one of the downtown beauty shops| mote than a dozen hairdressers are kept rushing to amputate tresses. Des- pite the fact that leading beauty cul- turists estimate hundreds of miles of hair have been sacrificed to comfort and fashion during the past year in Whshington alone, the bob-seek- ers are still coming in such numbers that it is imperative to make ap- pointments for them at some shops. They want all sorts of “bobs,” too. The King Tut or Buster Brown vies with the curley-cue bob, and the hingle,” or modulation of the bob, is finding its numerous supporters. Mast Be Trimmed. And that's not all. After the “bob” has been accomplished the short-hair- ed one returns time and again for the trimming process. For a “bob” has a way of becoming unsightly unless trimmed occasionally. Wherefore, not only hair cutting, but hair trimming has become regular routine in beauty- shops. More than is, however, the girls are getting “shaves" just like the members of the other sex, only on the neck instead of on the face. Special razor edges even, have been designed to take care of this feature. Psychologists are said to be divided in_their opinions as to the perma* nency of the bobbed hair fashion. On the one hands some contend that women have progressed to such a stage of independence that they re- fuse to be burdened by a batch of hair which takes time and effort to comb in the morning and “take down" at night. They figure a bob can be as attractive as flowing tresses and that it takes just about half as much attention. Measure of Health. It is healthier for the hair, others say, and they join all these reasons together as only one of the causes BANK SEEKS ESTATE. Asks Court for Theater Stock Pro- ceeds Left to Widow. The District Supreme Court has been asked by the Merchants Bank of Wash- ington to set aside an agreement by ‘which the late Robert W. Bulkley gave his first wife, Mrs, Florence M. Bulkley, stock of the Crandall Theater Company of the value of $25,000 and relieved her of the payment of a mortgage on prem- jses 1835 19th street northwest. Bulkley remarried and by his will left $5 each to his children and the remain- ing estate to his second wife, Ethel A. Faunce Bulkley. The bank declares it is a creditor of Bulkley and that when the agreement was made Bulkley owed the -bank $25,274 and was insolvent. The court is requested to vacate the agreement and djrect the $200 monthly income now received from the stock by the first Mrs. Bulkley to be surrendered to the collector of the estate of Bulkley.

No matter how liberal some husbands are in viewing outsiders with bobbed locks, many necessitate the execu- tion of tricky strategy by the gentler spouse in order to get consent for the bob. Many a husband comes home at night to find friend wife requesting permission for a bobbing expedition. Should she not obtain the permission at once, she awaits & more favorable opportunity. Then, after a nice dinner some time, when he is comfortably reading the news- paper, she purrs a question into his ear and he grunts in the affirmative and turns over to the sports section. Fifteen minutes later a bobbed-hair beauty appears before him. This girl is his_wife. She makes him look old. He thinks she has just bobbed her hair. (As a matter of fact she has bobbed it a week ago and covered it up with a transforma- tion.) It may cause a scene. But the first is generally the worst. And despite male antagonism, woman is working along quietly to beb-halr- dom, it seems, as usual, having her own' way, and transformations ald her in covering the bob until the right moment, and then showing it before hubby changes his mind. by the crowning It adds state- It commands re- Woman Typists Eligible.

BACKS AMENDMENT T0 END CHILD LABOR Church Council Official Declares 1,000,000 Youngsters Would Be Protected. Support of the movement for a con- stitutional amendment governing child labor was expressed in a statement js- sued today by the Rev. Dr. Worth M. Tippy, secretary of the Commission on Social Service of the Federal Council of Churches. Describing child labor as “a shame- ful evil and economically unsound,” Dr. Tippy said the 1920 census did not dis. close the real extent of employment of minors, since children employed during certain’ seasons in beet fields and can- neries, and those under ten years of age, who work In factorles from forty- four to sixty hours a week, were not counted. ““The amendment s necessary to pro- tect more than a million chiid worl ers,” he declared. “The Federal Cou; cil and the allied organizations are con- vinced that state action cannot alone be depended upon to remove the evil, but that federal action, with the states co-operating. can guickly cantrol it three | Schedule Includes Open Sessions for Four Days Every { Week. | Announce | the Woman's W | reorganizea clinies for | diseases ana | clinies will | next Tuesday headquarters | Tuesday, |Dr. Trum | charge: 4- | Dr. dnesdny, nmitt treatment that the week] th 11 street cancer physic fe charge. p.m., Stew tart 10: p.m Abbe, D.m., Ber 1 4:30 to Tom Wi charge.

A move to relieve traffic tion on the main arteries of travel through Georgetown by opening a new street in that on will be taken within a few days by Melvin C. Hazen, District survevor Mr. Hazen's plan calls opening of a new street, at Massachusetts avenue on the west side of Rock Creek. following the Reneral direction of old Lover's lane to T street and the extension of T street to Wisconsin avenue. The surveyor pointed out that this would afford convenient access to the rapidly developing suburbs north and west of Georgetown and at the same time reduce travel on M street and other parallel streets. There have been suggestions in the past that M street be widened or that Virginia avenue be improved to the Key bridge, but they would prove more costly than the proposed | scheme.
