Marines May Trail
Army in Adopting
Roll Collar Dress

The United States Marine Corps
is now considering the advisabiHty
of adopting the roll collar in place
of the standing collar that has
characterized the uniform for
many years.
For several years officers of the
Navy have been wearing the roll
collar Only recently Secretary of
War Davis, after having permitted
it's adoption by the Air Service,
announced that hereafter the roll
collar will be standard for the en-
tire Army.
Normally the Marine Corps sets
the pace and the recruiting slogans
emphasize the fact that the ma
rines are always first on the spot,
but in this instance they seem to
have been asleep at the switch.
Throughout the corps both Off
GERS and enlisted men already are
asking when they can substitute
the roll for the tight collar. This
is especially true of men on duty
in the tropics. The much greater
comfort of the roll collar Is con-
ceded even by its critics.
