SAD NEWS FOR THE HALL ROOM BOYS
Laundryman Says They Can't
 ''Do Up" Collars Right

That the semi-soft collar is here to stay, although it cannot, make a man look we'll dressed unless it is laundered in a professional laundry, was the opinion expressed by Carey W. Williams of Hartford, president of the New Method laundry of that city, in an address this afternoon to the Connecticut Laundry Owners associa- ton at an annual meeting in the Bur ritt hotel.
 Mir. Williams told of the history Of collars from the time men and women wore collars made of brass and cop per referring humorously to the period when ruffled collars were worn by royalty.
 The recently developed semi-soft collar has almost entirely supplanted the old fashioned soft collar, which always went with slouchy hat and baggy trousers, he said.
 He said the two reasons advanced by wears of semi-soft collars for their popularity arc the added comfort and the fact that they can be laundered at home. He pointed out that home laundries cannot make semi-soft collar look as it should, stating that many so-called "hallroom boys" who lannder their own collars are inter- ferring with their future prospects by i.ot being careful enough about their dress.
 "The semi-soft collar cannot be properly laundered at home" he said. i He said men who arc careful dressers do not wear semi-soft collars except upon certain occasions, quoted the fol- lowing result Of a survey on he use of collars showing that SS per cent Of the men today wear starced linen collars. 5s per cent wear semi-soft and only per cent stick to the old fashioned soft collar or meek band age"
 He spoke about the advertising campaign of his company and said it had increased the soft collar laundry business 400 per cent. officers were elected as follows: President. Fred A. Parselle of Stamford: vice-president. 0. s. Bennett of New Britain: secre- tary and treasurer, Alvin k. Herdt of south Norwalk: executive committee Anson r. KccEer of Norwalk: William Hennessey Of Bridgeport. John C. Iy diard Of Hartford, William r. Latti- mer of Waterbury and Roy F. Powers of East Hartford.
