THE OLD STARCH DOES IT.
Why Collars Crack In Laundering and
How to Save Them.

Why Collars Crack In Laundering and
How to Save Them.
In laundering collars aud shirts the
first thing to be done is to get the
old starch out of them No amount Of
washing in water. hot or cold, will
do this, for water does not dissolve
starch. Cracked collars are due to the
old starch being left in the fabric and
new starch being PCT on top of it.
In the words OF Wright Van Deusen
in the National Laundry Journal. 'the
old starch remaining in the goods crys-
tallizes under the heat and pressure Of
the ironing machine and puts the fiber
in brittle condition; hence when bent
for pressing through the finishing ma
chine it cracks. Remove the old starch,
and, with the uniform consistency of
everything that is good in new starch,
the collar will be so pliable that it can
be bent between finger and thumb with
little danger of damage"
The remedy is very simple. 1t is
that used by most of the largest collar
manufacturers-the dissolving of the
old starch with liquid malt extract
called diastase. This turns the starch
into sugar and takes it out of the fab
ric. One laundry in Troy handles 275,-
600 dozen collars a week and has so
few broken collars that it pays its in
spectors a bonus of 21a cents for each
one found.

PAT MORAN.

Philadelphia National team the first
time in its history. Last year he made
a fine fight for first place, but was nosed
out by Brooklyn in one of the most ex-
citing finishes in the history of the
league. This season Pat is again up
and doing. His team is playing fine
ball, and the experts say he has only
the New York Giants to beat. That is
pretty easy guessing. but the Philadel-
phia's are not so far behind the leaders
that if the New Yorks should hit los
ing streak Pat might come on and win.

Because it was the key to one Of the
approaches toward the empire Of
Byzantium the province was invaded
by many successive races during the
early centuries of the Christian era.
TraJan incorporated it with the prov
ince of Dacia, and in the next century
the Goths poured into it, to be follow
ed in turn by the Huns, the Avars and
the Bulgarians. In the seventh CEN
tury a Thracian tribe, known as the
Bessi, settled there and gave to the

Ancient Proofreadinu,

The editions of books printed 200 or
300 years ago are almost entirely free
from typographical errors, which may
be attributed to the fact that early
publishers were generally eminent
scholars and themselves gave much
attention to the revision of their proofs
After reading the proofs they frequent
ly turned them over to other scholars
with the request to revise and correct.
and as the printers time was then
deemed matter Of small consequence
perfection was attained which is
seldom equaled by modern printers
