Voice of the People: BEWARE THE BOBS

     Brooklyn:  The bobbed-haired situation over here has become funny., if not ridiculous.  Every other man one encounters has a police whistle ready to blow at the sight of a bob and our poor flappers are now classed as gunwomen and highway robbers.  The toughest man in Brooklyn is not half so feared right now as the girl with shorn locks, especially if one or both hands happen to be beneath her coat.     UNEASY CITIZEN
