THURSDAY, MARCH 18, 1920 ] WHITE COLLARS Says the New York Evening World: ; 44White collars are the hall-mark of ( the "New Poor." "White collars are making the 'New ( Poor' even poorer. "Of all the revelations of profiteer- ( ing which the Evening World has , made, none, we think, will cause more \ aggrivation and resentment than yes- ] terday's expose of the intolerable greed of Cluett, Peabody <? Co. "Prices of white linen collars have j advanced from 12,/2 cents to 30 cents. . The quality has been debased. Profits have arisen from $1,871,000 in , 1918'to $5,153,000 in 1919. , "If Attorney General Palmer cannot find material for the prosecution 3 of profiteering in such figures, he can 3 find it nowhere. ( ?Tn_ . A r*i , Hie uoiciai luoa pxv- j claimed his friendly feeling for organized labor. Here is his opportunity to court favo with the 'White-Collar Class' as well. 'Ge after Cluett, Peabody & Co.! "White collars are more tjian a symbol. They are becoming a yoke." We are strong on nice linen collars and make this article a feature of wardrobe. Among them are possibly 1 some of Cluett, Peabody & Co.'s pro- J duct, but before we pay the advanced 1 price, 30 cents, we'll resort to celluloid 1 collars, as much as we dislike them J and fear their cumbustibility. Up to ^ date we have only been required to ( pay 25 cents each for linen collars 1 v ~ in Kingstree, which is more than J double what we used to pay?$1.50 the dszea. But, putting aside the c celluloid collar or the reversible paper c collar, we believe there are a number * of brands just as good as the Cluett, I Peabody & Co. collars that may still 1 be purchased at a lower price, and these are the collars our people should 1 demand. v o f Flag Etiquette 6 s "While there is no Federal law per- c taining to the manner of displaying c the flag, there are many regulations 1 and usages of national force bearing I on the subject," says a bulletin from c the National Geographic Society, v The bulletin quotes from a communi- s cation to the society setting forth t "flag etiqutette" as follows: r "In raising the flag it should never t be rolled up and hoisted to the top i o of the staff unfurling. Instead, the flag should be free during the act of v hoisting, which should be done quick- I ly. It should be taken in slowly and f with dignity. It should not be al- i lowed to touch the ground or shore, t or the deck of a ship, nor should it I be permitted to trail in the water or in the dust. It should not be hung i where it can be contaminated or r soiled easily, or draped over phairs or t benches for seating purposes, and no object or emblem of any kind should c be placed upon or above it. I "A common but regretable practice at public meetings is to drape '< the flag like a table cloth over the i speakers table and then to place on 1 the flag a pitcher of ice water, flow- t ers, books etc. Another equally care- t less practice, and, unfortunately, 1 quite common, is to tie small United t States flags to the bottom of a stage i curtain, when the curtain is raised i the flags are lifted aloft and are ef fectively displayed, but when the cur- i tain is lowered, so that the stage \ scenes may be shifted, the flags trail t in the dust of the stage floor. t "The flag should not be festooned i over doorways or arches. Always let 4 the flag hang straight Do not tie t it in a bow knot. Where colors are j 1 1 n n X?MU Jesired for decorative purposes, use j ( red, white and blue bunting:. "International usage forbids the ^ display of the flag of one nation j above that of any other with which it is at peace. Such an act is consid-, s?red an insult in times of peace.1 When the flags of two or more na- j tions are displayed, they should be an separate shafts, or on separate; halyards of equal size and on the same level. "When the national colors are passing on parade or in review, the spec-; tutor should, if walking, halt, and if j sitting, arise anil stand at attention a and uncover. j" "When flags are used in unveiling j* a statue or monument they should!'' not be allowed to fall to the ground, j 0 but should be carried aloft to wave j out. forming a distinctive feature j1 during the remainder of the cere- jv mony. j's "Where the national flag is dis-|? played with the State or other flags, it'' should be given the place of honov J on the right. Its use should be con-1 ^ ' n-i- I f hned as mucn as possum* iu iu , play upon the stall. Where used as I a banner, the union should fly to the j ^ north in streets running Kast and ^ West, and to the Kast in streets run- * ning North and South. F "Old, faded or worn flags should not beused for banners or other sec- ^ ondary purposes. "When no longer fit for display, the flag should be destroyed privately t preferably by burning or other meth- r ads lacking the suggestion of irrev- ^ jrance or disrespect. "Over only three buildings in ^ America does the national flag fly of- * ficitlly night and daycontinuously? s aver the east and west fronts of the ^ National Capitol and over the adja- * :ent House of Representatives and 0 Senate Office Buildings. The two emblems over the Capitol (storm-flag " size) are replaced every six weeks, M the wear and tear, due to wind and | rain, being excessive. j "Over the Senate and House of j Representatives wings of the Capitol : ( ho flao-R flv onlv while these bodies ' are in session and during a recess. \ At adjournment, either at the end of j a day's work or for a session, they j are lowered. j "When the Stars and Stripes float j from the flagstaff of the White House from sunrise to sunset, it is indicative af the presence in Washington of the j President". j o j CONGRESS TELEGRAM 7 FEET j Abuse of,-Franking Privilege in House Charged by Ireland. Discovery of several personal and arivate telegrams dispatched at pubic expense by members of the House s responsible for the (latest investigation started by the Republicans, fhe committe of accounts of which Representative Ireland, of Illinois, is chairman, will conduct the inquiry md require members to pay (for their nessages from their own pockets, rhree subcommittees have been j lesignated to go over the telegrams | >f several months. Names of the of- I ending members will not be made J rnblic unless they decline to make the j t W. UilU. | The most glaring instance of the | nisuse of the telegraph privilege, j vhich requires messages to be on of- J icial ;matters if paid for at public ! ixpense, was a telegram 7 feet long, I aid to have been sent by a member J ?f the House from a point on the Pa- I ific coast to a : person in the East, j Phe telegraph charges were $67.13. j t is rumored that a member of one | >f the investigating committee that J rent to the far West sent the mes- I age. There were two such commit- I ees, one being the Frear subcom- a nittee that investigated aviation and I h^ other being the Walsh committee | n shipping board activities. ' "There was a companion to it that 1 ras half as large", Mr. Ireland said. I le added that it had no more reason j or being sent than the former. "But i mfortunately, under a strict cons- j ruction of the rule, no objection could | >e found to it." ! He said another quoted an editorial I n a paper and cost $5 or $6, the I nember being unable to trust it to j he mail. t "Too lazy to write it and just tore j >ut the clipping and inserted it," said J dr. Ireland. \ In the room of the committee on I iccounts is a large box for every | nember of the 435 members of the j 3ouse, in which are filed the tele- | jrams they send. Mr. Ireland finds J ;he number per month ranges from j 11,000 and 12,000 down to 3,000. 7,500 I elegrams a month is placed as the I iverage. These cost from $5,000 to j >6,000 per month. I The total cost for the first eight j nonths of the present fiscal year, j vhich began July 1, 1919, was more j ;han $31,000. In the fiscal year 1919 j :he cost was more than $87,000, and * n the fiscal year 1918 more than 544,000. It was said that last May he cost was at the rate of $20,000 h >er month. t* ' What Is lv "Spring Fever") ie Fair With Yourself... "Sprint; Fever" is Not Just Mental Contrariness LOOK.
