TEN YEARS
ON WOMEN’S LIFE RESULT OF MODERN DRESS REFORM SHINGLING AND SHORT SKIRTS. PRAISED BY DOCTORS. By Telegraph—Per Press Assn.—Copyright. Received June 2, 7.15 p.m. LONDON, June 1. The school medical officer in London boldly supports reform of girls’ dress. He warmly praises the disappearance of corsets and garters and points out that health is immeasurably improved thereby. A Harley Street specialist says the short skirt and short hair are the greatest boon to womanhood. Headaches are practically non-existent among shingled women. When they cut their tresses short women added five years to their lives, and when they reduced their clothing they added another five'.
Men could do the same if they abol ished collars and tics.
