Show Bobbed Hair Traced Bobbed hair has been traced to Revolutionary war times by Capt L. C Buird, army officer, who found in old records of the Continental army, stored for years In the Schuylkill arsenal ar-senal at Philadelphia, that bobbing of the hair was made a matter of general gen-eral orders for the soldier of 1776. One of the decrees issued at West Point, however, directed that noncommissioned non-commissioned officers and privates of the first regiment have their hair queued behind not to exceed seven Inches long and close to the head. |
