[Surgeon United States Army] Major Woodruff now shows, and he exhibits figures backing up what he says, that the blondes, in this section of the country at least, are just as bad, if not worse, from a criminal standpoint, as are the brunette types."

Well, there you have it.
(Thanks to the Google's search records for "blonde for summer" and the New York Times online archive for making this blog entry possible.)
