Old Styles Condemned
fashions for 1936, whatever may be said against them, have this in their favour—they are anti-accident.
Sir Thomas Oliver, of Durham University, praised them before the Congress of the Royal Institute of Public Health and Institute of Hygieno in Edinburgh. “In my early professional days,” he said, “when belts in factories were less protected than now and tho women had long hair, women were ‘scalped’ by getting entangled in the moving belts. This is no longer the tragedy it was, thanks to women’s shorter hair and closer-fitting dresses and better protection of belts.”
