SCOUT THEORY

Isolated Shot Aroused Off
GERS, Who Then Got
Into Fight

Dublin, Dec. 29.--An officer of the
guard and one member of a band OF
intruders were killed yesterday in II
short distance from the Vice Regal
Lodge. In some quarters the belief
was expressed that an attack was in
preparation against the lodge.
In the absence of all official infor-
nation, the theory is that no raid
against the Vice Regal Lodge was in
tended. 1t is supposed that an iso-
lated shot was fired which Lieutenant

FINE WOOLENS
IN DEMAND
Big Factor in High Prices of
Clothing, Says Woolen
Company Head

Boston. Dec. 29.-The insistence
of the public upon cloth made from
fine woods is a large factor in the
present high prices of clothing, ac-
cording to William NJ. Wood, presi-
dent of the American Woolen Com
pany. Mr. Wood, who recently
charged that some of the merchants
in Lawrence were raising prices with
every increase in wages in the com
panys mills in that city, gave his
views on the cost of clothing in Il
statement last night.
'If our people would consent"
was his conclusion. Ito wear good
substantial. durable clothes made of
the coarser woods, clothing could be
purchased at considerably lower
prices than those which now pre-
vail"
His statement in part follows:
lit is generally thought that the
cost of cloth is the controlling fac
tor in the cost of clothing. but the
fact is that the cloth cost is less
than half the cost of completed
suit.
I'm the last five years the price
of cloth in the ordinary suit of
clothes has advanced little less
than the cost of labor and other
materials that go into the making
of the suit The following figures
show this. which have from man
ufacturer and merchant of clothing
of the highest prominence in Boston.
The cost in 1919 of the cloth for
a suit of clothes of a particular grade
is $13.67. The corresponding cost
in 1914 was S4.5S. showing an in
crease in the cost of cloth OF 5000.
THE 1919 cost of making this suit
is S14.47. The corresponding cost in
1914 was $4.9S. showing an increase
in the cost of making of s9.49.
why have the costs and prices
of everything. and especially of
clothing. so generally increased?
in the first place. war is always
followed by period of high prices.
War means the destruction of the
necessaries of life in enormous
quantities. together with the diver
sion of the product of industry from
it's usual channels. 1t needs no ar
gument to show that when cloth and
clothing are scarce, this scarcity al
ways means high prices.
Another factor of considerable ef-
feet in bringing about high prices is
the high rate of taxation, both state
and Federal.
"But beyond these causes which
resuN in the general scale of high
prices there are. ! believe, certain
factors which have affected the man
ufacture of cloth particularly. and
which are undoubtedly reflected in
the cost of cloth and of clothing
