siRTH OF THE LINEN COLLAR
According to History, Blacksmith
Wife invented Modern Man's
Greatest Affection.

The wife of Troy IN. " black
smith is said to have been the first
person to have made separate collars
for mems shirts. This happened in
1925. and men have been suffering
ever since. Outside of inventing the
separate collar, this woman did the
family washing.
Accordingly she set herself to work
making separate collars for her hus-
bands shirts and then made enough
to sell outside the home. This innova-
ton attracted the attention of Rev.
Ebenezer Brown, retired Methodist
minister, and he, with the aid of the
women of his family, went about SELL
ing collars. This was in 1929.
All the work ON these early collars
was done by hand, for the sewing ma
chine had not yet been invented. In
those days not more than dozen col
lars day We're sold. Their name
'.string collars"-was specially appro-
pirate, for they were tied dround the
neck with string of tape attached to
each end Of the collar. Except the
bands, the first separate collars were
generally all linen and of two thick.
nesses, although some were faced with
cotton cloth. They were slightly stiff
fened and had high points extending
above the chin ON either side.-POpu

Well Called "the ere.t.y

Alfred the Great occupies similar
place in English history to that held
by Charlemagne in Germany and
France. More than any other monarch
who has ever governed in England he
deserves the name of "the great" He
united England; he broke down the
menace of the pagan invasions of the
Vikings; he encouraged learning. Like
Washington, Alfred was as notable for
his achievements in peace as for his
victories in war. In many ways In
deed, Alfred reminds the student of
Washington, man who stands out
above all other men of his own age
or Of the generations that Immediately
preceded or followed. Alfred had as
much ability as had Charlemagne and
the same love for culture. His career
was, moreover, free from the crimes
that have to be set down to the dis
credit of Charlemagne.

Infancy Of the Candle.

The primitive candle Of England
was a rush soaked in melted fat. In
Mongolia and India a mass of grease
was burned on the end of splint or
stick. BY these steps it is seen that
man was beginning to apply his in
genuity, after having found that lights
could be had, and to realize their
value. In England plan was evolved
whereby cord saturated with wax or
fat was cOiled about vertical stick
which also supported an iron holder
for the end Of the wicklike cord.
Dipped candles with a cotton wick
soon put in their appearance in the
United States, followed by nodded cam
dies. Some recent examples of mold
ed candles of stearine, paraffin and
wax are shown in museum collections,
u number of them artistically deco
rated.

Pointing to the Sun.

Among the countless temples Of
Egypt there are few, and one of
them the most magnificent of all, the
temple of Amen-Rra ut Karnak, that
seem to be related to the sun.
Any temple in the latitude of
Thebes that points within 20 degrees
of east or west will catch along its
axis the rays of the rising or the
