Abilene Man Says Pair Robbed
Him of $8,350 at Muleshoe
Thursday Evening, January 11,1950 The Abilene, Texas, Reporter-News 5 Poge 5,
TODAY'S BIRTHDAY
Two masked men who were said
to have robbed an Abilene man
Wednesday morning of $8,350 at
siulesnoe and left him tied to his
tourist court bed vanished without
a clue, the Associated Press said
Thursday. . . .
Glen Teal, who, the AP reported,
is the owner to farm land near
Muleshoe and at Abilene, was
quoted as saying that two men last
him as he opened the door of his
cabin about 5:30 s. m Wednesday
as he prepared to go to downtown.
They ordered him bsek into the
cabin, then tied him spread-eagled
to his bed. He worked free of the
ropes.
Teal said the money was “to
pay bills and buy some stuff” and
most to it was rolled in a rubber
band ta his trousers pocket.
Muleshoe to 60 miles northwest
to Lubbock.
Abilene peace officers knew no
additional details Thursday.
An employe to Teal, when con-
tacted by a reporter Wednes-
day night, said he had "heard about
it in a round-about way.”
Bailey County officers were told
by Teal that after he freed himself
from his bonds, he summoned Ol-
lie Jones, proprietor of the tourist
court. Jones told officers later that
he had seen the men enter the
room but thought they were friends
to the victim.
Teal said the money was drawn
from an Abilene bank.
He regularly spends about three
nights a week at the tourist motel
in connection with his farm hold-
ings naar Mateshoe, he said.

NEW YORK, Jan. 11. (—Down
in the ladies garment district some
gentlemen have the shudders.
They make their living out of
swatehing the ternate form divine
ia woolen fabrics. And they have
the shudders because:
1. The price to raw wool has
just taken another big jump to
Sydney. And the chant to the Aus-
tralian wool auctioneer may have
a lot to do with whet kind to fab-
ric your wife will be wearing a
year from now. Because Australia
pretty much controls the world
wool price The United States im-
prts five out to every six pounds
of the fine apparel wool it uses
and Australia to the principal sup-
plier.
2. The Pentagon ta Washington
wants IN million pounds to wool
to make uniforms for the millteas
to boys and girls who will be go-
tag into an expanded armed
force.
1 The Washington stockpliers
want a lot more wool to sore
away against even worse national
emergencies They don't sny bow
much they want, but wool trade
guesses run from IN million to
350 million pounds—and the com-
mercial wool trade is already
short to fine apparel wool.
4. There's s rumor around (and
it’s nothing but a rumor) that
wool may follow robber into the
government freezer-that Washing-
ton may take control to all avail-
able supplies to wool and become
the exclusive buyer to all Im-
ported raw wool.
SUPPLY AND DEMAND
The Australian price hike fol-
lows the law to supply and de-
mand. Since the war the world
has been using more fine apparel
wool than was being produced—
and in doing so has depleted its
wartime wool stockpiles.
Now world buyers are flocking
to Sydney to bid for wool—Amer-
icans bidding against Russians
| and Europeans. Supplies sre right
and may get tighter. And the
price climbs. Here is how it has
climbed:

For Carl Cave,
Nolan Farmer
NOLAN, Jan. 11.—Funeral for
Carl Cave, 37, prominent stock
farmer of the Divide community,
was to be held at 3 p.m. Thursday in
the Nolan Baptist Church.
The Rev. Buren Higdon, pastor, is
to officiate, with burial to follow in
Slater’s Chapel Cemetery under
direction of Spill Funeral Home of
Winters.
Mr Cave, member of one of the
earliest families to settle in the
Divide area of Nolan County, died
at 9 p.m. Wednesday in Hendrick
Memorial Hospital, Abilene, where
he was admitted Friday after being
transferred from a Sweetwater
hospital.
Mr. Cave was a native of Nolan,
having been born in Sept. 1913. He
married the former Miss Thelma
Evans of Divide.
Survivors beside the widow, in-
clude three children, Don 1S
George Carl. 11, and Johnny Zeke,
6 months old.
He was a member of the Nolan
Baptist Church
to apparel wool sold M low as 50
cents a pound. This same kind of
wool brings $3.38 a pound today
this is the Australian price for
raw wool translated into what the
American mill pays for it when It
has been cleaned and delivered at
New York « Boston. When the
Sydney auction closed Dec. T for
the holidays this wool was being-
tag $2.88. When the auctin opened
Aug. 28 the price was around
$2.63. AB together, the price has
jumped 75 cents since August. And
that August price was itself up 45
per cent from the closing to the
previous auction June 29.
These new high wool prices in
Sydney wn't affect the price to
your wife’s suite and roots for
many months yet since wool
travels many moths from the
sheep’s back to milady’s back.
But the earlier price hikes are be-
ing felt now in the garment dis-
trict here.
And In the piece goods depart-
ment retailers say that the dol-
lar they are spending now to buy
spring woolens and worsteds Is
getting them from 33 to 40 per
cent less yardage than a year ago.
Buyers report that sheen suit-
Ing gabardine which a year ago
varied from $3.37 to $6.45 a yard,
now coats $3.50 to $8.10 at the re-
tail level
SCRAMBLE FEARED
A leading New York resident
buying firm reports that prices
for women's wear woolens have
advanced anywhere frm 10 to 40
cents a yard since November.
Most mills say they have enough
raw wool in hand to last them far
Into this year, but some fear a
scramble for wool goods may de-
velop this fall.
If this weren't bad enough, the
gentlemen in the garment district |
today have still another cause to
worry in what appears to be the
making of a sharp feud and may-
be nasty infighting between the
fashion experts on the West and
East coasts. And a mis-guess on
fashion can break a gentleman
couturier.
California apparel creators—350
of them — declare unequivocably
that in 1951 they will emphasize
the bosom.
The very same day. 150 fashion
editors visiting New York are told
by the director of the New York
Dress Institute that in the effete
East anyway, “Fashion emphasis
has shifted from bosom to hip.”
It’s enough to give any poor con- |
fused male the jitters.
What a wonderful way to start the new
Spring Season, with a collection
of new shoes by Naturalizer. They are
crafted for comfort and beautiful fit, and
and give you the utmost in fashion.
