Cotton Car Coats Now Top Fashion Designers are showing high fashion car coats in newsy sil houettes and in a great variety of cotton weaves, textures and prints, reports the National Cot ton council. Printed cottons, corduroys, poplins and twills are featured in short, regular and even seven eighth length coats. All are wa ter repellent. Colors include na tural, white, platinum, khaki, loden green and red. Brilliant plaid corduroy is used for one eye-catching car coat which boasts its own match ing boy's cap. A bright red cot ton print is selected by one de signer for a short coat which he lines in quilted poplin and shows with a ikirt or olive drab cotton twill pants. Black and white, a favorite color scheme in the fall fashion picture, is used to make a streamlined coat in white pop lin set off with a head scarf in black and white printed cotton. The same print is used to line the coat in quilted version for cozy warmth. Pennsylvania Dutch designs are embroidered in black on white poplin to make another car coat in this smart color scheme. For the outdoor enthusiast who has a bit of the siren in her make-up, there is the car coat made in velveteen, printed with a leopard pattern. $f0T M Mrs. Oma Pyiher (center) Portland, was re-elecled president of Oregon Licensed Practical Nurse's association during the annual state convention which closed here Thursday night.
