Results of War
Uniform for Civilians
Is Suggested
Hollywood — (UP) — The wartime necessity of conserving wool is an opportunity for men to break away from traditional conservative clothing styles, Leslie Howard, the well-dressed British film star, believes.
"I think men would welcome a comfortable, standardized garment, and if clothes rationing comes in America, they will have the excuse to try the ex- periment."omy suit looks like a vest with
The actor already has designed what he describes as a "civilian uniform for men" and has had several outfits made up by his tailor. It consists of a serge suit and trousers cut along military lines but worn like a slack suit.
"The necessity of conserving materials might help men to get away from the styles they have been wearing for generations," Howard continued. 'We might develop some sort of a civilian uniform—something comfortable and smart-looking that would put all males in the same style class.'
He pointed to the "economy suit" which had its first showing this month in New York. The coat of the economy suit looks like a vest with sleeves on. It has no collar or lapels and no pocket flaps. The trousers are narrower in the legs, cuffless and pleatless.
At any rate, Howard says, there is bound to be a standardization of all men's clothing. Instead of selecting 10 best-dressed males each year, the country will have 70,000,000 masculine fashion plates.
The suit uses 2 5-8 yards of material per suit instead of the usual 31-2 yards.
Howard gave his views while working on Columbia's war drama, "The Invaders," in which he co-stars with Laurence Oliver and Raymond Massey. He said he would be glad to wear any type of civilian uniform designed for war use.
George B. Smith, dean of the School of Education, spoke at a luncheon meeting of the Kansas City Atheneum in Kansas City. The program was divided into departments of educational subjects.
