Bobbed Hair Brings Beards
Bobbed Hair Brings Beards, German Warns Modern Woman
BERLIN, July 12 (Associated Press). -- The women of the future may have longer beards than the bearded women of the circus today, in the opinion of Dr. Adolph Heilbron, if they continue the invasion of man's domain of activities.
"As woman exercises more and more the functions formerly belonging to man," Heilbron writes in the Berlin Morgenpost, "she also begins to assume a masculine growth of hair. "
He cites Buckman, Brandt, Friedenthal and other anthropologists as authority for his statements that there has been a decided increase in the number of bearded women and expresses the belief that families wherein generations of women bob their hair will develop bearded women as a parallel phenomenon.
