DOWN WITH STARCH.
Collars Of the Past, the Saw Kind
Give Place to Those Of Softer
Material

Dubuque Times-Journal: Haber.
dashery manufacturers are advising
customers that in these war times un-
starched goods will be the style.
Starch has food value. This spells the
doom on the billed shirt. Likewise
starched collars may have to go.
If Thomas Carlyle's clothes philos-
opher had lived until now he could
have written an eloquent chapter on
the billed shirt. A Sunday church con-
gregation did not feel based On sound
doctrine unless all the men wore
them The billed shirt cast its air Of
stability over every gathering OF BUSH
ness men. When thieves and pick
pockets and confidence men wished
to pose as substantial merchants, they
put on billed shirts and deception was
complete.
Informal habits and outdoor sports
have now spread among men, and
accustomed them to wearing the most
comfortable kind of clothes regard
less Of fashion plates. Starched bos-
oms have been driven back to last in
trenchments at weddings and balls.
and negligee goes for every day life
and business.
The stiff starched collar has an ex-
tensive ancestry of discomfort. The
chokers and stand up collars worn
by our ancestors suggest that old
fashioned life was not as simple as it
is cracked up to be. Later men wore
turn down collars. starched, but so
low as to be comfortable. But these
were not dignified enough for sons
of pride. SO the modern stand up
collar was devised. AT first it was
cleverly conceived instrument of tor.
ture with sharp points intended to
lacerate the under chin. Then some
conceived tn eidea of
turnover points which relieved the
Iacerated flesh to some extent Then
another son of mercy got up the high
band turned down, which offered
rounded edge to tender flesh.
Today millions of men wear COM
Portable unstarched soft collars. The
dandiacal prophets, as Thomas Car
lyle would have said, grieve at this
decadence OF dignity The sons of
labor rejoice, and are glad to learn
IL is considered suitable to war times.

Free Water In the Earth.

The amount of water held In the
rocks or other materials composing the
earth varies greatly, owing to many
causes. The amount absorbed de-
ponds on the porosity of the material,
the slope of the surface and the size
and abundance of joint cracks, assures
and cavities. The amount of water in
drift or surface materials is dependent
to some extent on the nature Of the
underlying rock, and the amount which
finds its way into the solid rock
is dependent on the thickness of
the everything surface deposit. The
amount Of water contained in the
earth's crust Ito a depth of three niles
has been estimated by different writers
with widely different results. A re-
cent estimate given by the United
States geological survey, department
of the interior, is that the total
amount of free water in the earth's
crust would be equivalent to uniform
sheet over the entire surface of the
earth having a depth of about 100
feet This is but a small fraction of
the estimate made by other writer's
