Cho rcoal Tops Hit Parade Of Colors And then there was the clothing salesman who was so worried that he turned charcoal-gray overnight. Worried or not, American males from kindergarten to retiiement age are turning to charcoal colors this yev. The color that once was reserved for the college set and the investment men is becoming a standard hue in most wardrobes. And more, it is appearing on the grade-school level as well. More than color, trimly cut clothes are making inroads into the once-sloppy grade arid high school fashions. Designers of boys' clothes havj made great use of richly colored, interestingly textured all-wool fab rics. Simplified "swagger" lines give fall . school and dress-up clothes their new appeal. Boys' wear designers favor wool tweeds for outercoats and sport coats because of their excellent warmth and wear qualities and rich new colorings. The new favor ite among outercoats Is the short coat and rugged, nubby tweeds. In contiast to the dark colors of fall suits, medium value colore are the leaders in both the short and longer coats. Small two-color weave patterns with random nubs In contrasting colors are typical. To illustrate: gray and white tweed outercoating in a pattern of small squares will be enlivened with scattered nubs of 'ginger, browu and black. Topcoats and overcoats fall into two classes: the more formal box cut and the casual bal collar, rag is wvi model has the vote of most high school and college men, although the box cut coat has Btronir suoDort in the eastern The formality of the modified Chesterfield, with its square cut, fly closing and velvet collar ap peals to boys of many age levels as well as to their fathers. More formal herringbone tweeds, In com binations of brown with tan and gray with black, are preferred for the box cut coats, while nubby tweeds are preferred in the raglan models. Boys and parents alike should note the, charcoal brown and char coal blue flannel suits when shop ping for school. These suit fabrics have two colors closely blended charcoal with brown and charcoal with navy blue. Those have the rich formality of the charcoal gray flannels with an added touch of interest Durable worsted wool gabardine, one of the best tailoring suit fab rics, has come back to favor for college men in an unusual new color: burnt grass. The shade Is darker than olive green, but the two look alike. It was introduced for spring In men's tropical worsted suits and in a 10- ounce year-round weight of worsted gabardine. It is now destined for a bow on the campuses from grade school to college. A similar color, khaki, will make its appearance in worsted wool suits and wool sport coats on the campus, come October. Khaki makes a handsome appearance in narrow stripes oil charcoal gray worsted suitings. Ilia piped wool flannel blazer Is due for a revival on college cam puses this fall. too. Reminiscent of the era of "23skidoo," racoon coats and the Bunny Hug, the blazer indicates the college man's interest in being a distinctive type again. Ephraem Witty, of the famous Witty Brothers clothing stores, puts it this way: "College clothes are more than a style. They are a way of life." Witty has put out a sports car blazer to try for the non-campus market. With muted-stripe comm. nations, the blazer can carry the insignia of all international sports cor manufacturers. Or, if you don't have a sports car. you can have your own Initials put on. Still a big favorite on the grade- school and high-school fashion list is corduroy. You'll see more coordinates of ; corduroy this year jacke t and i slacks combinations designed to wear long and well. I In outer clothes raincoats and school Jackets synthetics are ris ing to meet the demand of wash able, durable, weather resistance. DuPont's "Zelan" for example, shows to its best advantage in rain wear that looks for all the world like something from a newsman-solves-the-crlme movie. It's highly practical, too. The old standby, rayon, con tinues strong, especially In sport shirts. Wilson Brothers has carried the style into 'impressive color combinations with long sleeves and collar stays. Washable, rayon is a hardy perennial. One word for school shirts: Im portant. Make sure. Van Heusen : shirt designers say. to get me col lar size l?.rge enough and the I sleeve length long enough but not I too lone. This is the piece of ap parel that can cause junior most i discomfort if it doesn t lit. uon- striction at the neck or sleeves that fall into the inkwell or choke ! Ills wrists.

Even at the best of schools, the danger of fire or theft can never be overlooked. The wisest plan is to keep all valuable property in a safe at the college office. But Where this is not always possible, or the items are needed daily, the next best bet is the stronguox mea. These boxes are made In several different sizes, usually fire and wa-1 terproor. with sturdy, dependable locks. The usual place of purchase; is an office equipment or stationery j store. Another excellent purchase Is a small, but sturdy filing cabinet, j for protection of notes and papers. The savings produced in study time ; will be well worth the minor outlay of money.
