Washington-1t may Or may not be
news that the soft collar industry and
the stiff collar industry are engaged
In large propaganda war for the
privilege Of clothing the national
neck.
Once upon Z time nearly all males
wore starched collars. and the soft
collars were 90 wrinkly and sloppy
that the well-dressed man simply
wasn't having<1ny. But soft collars
or semi-sofe collars were developed
which looked very well and were still
comfortable and these began to have
very large sale.
The people who make starched col
lars finally began to fight back with
intensive national propaganda to the
effect that tho snappy. well-groomed
man still wore starched collars and
that soft collars were still abhorred
In the best circles. Apparently the
other collar interests are now launch
ing counter propaganda to offset all
that.
The war has lately been centering
on the neck Of President Herbert
Hoover. The president has always
worn very high stiff collars and the
hard collar publicists were quick to
seize upon that fact and exploit 1t.
Recently, however. the soft collar
enthusiasts got busy. Thus one reads
that Hoover has set q splendid ex-
ample to Ill men who are slaves to
fashionable customs: that he wears
Z soft shirt and q soft turned down
collar In preference to the boiler
plate castings dictated by hoary
precedent"
Inquiry around the white house
develops the fact that the president
wears Z shirt with soft collar at
taclled while tossing the old medi-
cine ball each morning, but at all
other times he sticks to starch. The
starched collar industry Is willing to
admit that soft collars will some-
times do for sports.

forth q highly reasoned argument
for a conference Of statesmen to
reach such an agreement, rather
than Of naval experts, who. he said,
were more interested In naval
maintenance than naval reduction.
The experts task In the next
negotiations, General Dawes said,
would be to fix upon a naval yard
stick" or standard OF equivalent
naval values. reconciling such d.
vergent factors as age, diSplace-
ment. gun elevation. etc. With
such a "yardstick." he said, the
statesmen could work.
Huge Financial Burden
The ambassador mentioned the
huge financial burden carrying out
present naval building programs
would inflict upon nations, saying
the authorized contemplated naval
program Of the United States alone
amounts to $1,17o. 800. 0Oo.
He then went into the roles play
ed by financial experts in the rep
arations and similar conferences.
and developed the proposition that
whereas they we're necessary to the
success Of those conferences they
would impair rather than abet
progress If they played similar
parts in a naval conference.
