THE OMAHA1 SUNDAY BEE? APRIL 4, 1920. 15 B a 1 TREAT 'EM ROUGH GOOD PLAN FOR NDOLENT WIVES British Woman Advises Fol lowing Out Suggestion Re cently Made by Noted Author. By CICELY HAMILTON. London, April 3. Senor Vicente Blasco Ibanez has, by common con sent, written one of the finest of war novels a fact which implies that the war took hold of him and shook him; so that he saw in it more than a series of blood-thirsty episodes: so that he heard through it more than the thunder of armies the rending and cracking of what wc call civilization. Hence, very possibly (T do not know Senor Ibanez),' he has been stricken with an almost comic des pair at the sight of a population of tnval, unimaginative women whose interests are chatter' and-shopping and matinees, who live pleasantly sheltered, out of touch with reality as he knows it He feels, one imagines, as the legendary Cazotte may have felt, when, in the artificial ity of an 18th century salon, ihere was revealed to him in a vision the rnmillff nf rAiem rf frmr ivriAtl he saw the great ladies whose silks rustled round him, whose finger tips were kissed, tie nr nannirrt and roped by the headsman. Mere Domestic Ornaments. ' It is likely that America, at this moment, is producing large numbers of women who are merely domestic ornaments. Where money is made in abundance the women of the class that makes it are ap(f ato lapse swiftly into idleness. Their nev position brings no new duties; it merely deprives them of the old ones, the duties of poverty. America is not to be blamed on that account; were we as opulent as the United States we might manu facture the human ornament as readily. The type is frequent enough as it is. I remember, not so long ago, listening with intetrcst to the con versation of two young women who were openly pityirg a third a girl whoe hands, instead of being care fully manicured like their own use less paws, had been roughened by work in a canteen, by washing up and cleaning for soldiers. "Isn't it a pity?" they commented. "A nice looking girl like that quite spoilt ' those ugly hands." , "Appearance" First Duty. I suggested that the young woman under consideration might find some cward for red fingers and chilblains in tne comiort or ine men sn wauca on. The suggestion was received amicably, but i. no way affected an ingrained coniction that the first and foremost duty of a woman throueh life till death, in the pres ence of misery was to look to her personal appearance. . . . And this after fotir years of bloodshed, of ruin and agony intolerable. Senor Ibanez is a Spaniard a neutral in the war; but his suggested remedy bears out my theory that he is one on whom the war has left its mark. "T'eat. them a little roughly," is his advice to the Ameri can man: I have my doubts as to whether he would have offered that advice in the first months of 1914. War Has Coarsened. , Much water has run under bridges since then and much blood; and, whether we admit it or not, we are :oarsened, less sensitive, brutalized. It would be impossible, I imagine, for anyone who had stopped his ears in a hospital to shut out the groaning of the wounded to feel any violent rush of indignation if he heard that an American gentleman had slapped his wife because she neglected to serve up his dinner or spent too much money on jumpers. A Slap? Tis Nothing. Even if the American lady came to me weeping, I doubt if I should weep very much in sympathy. I might want to be horrified, but I couldn't be; the episode, if discred itable to the American gentleman, is too trival to make a real fuss about. There was once a Bryce report on atrocities; there are graves by the million from Ypres to the Vosges; there are thousands starving in Vi enna ... In all of us is a sense of proportion; and I should think of these things while I heard the tale of woe and patted her. An Expensive Luxury. Man, being kind-hearted and creatlv sentimental, has always pught to persuade himself that his omankind like unpleasantness; tnat it is a real joy to them to take upon their own shoulders the household toil he finds a drudgery, to do with out tne outside ana personal inter ests which to him are absorbing and necessary. It is largely for this reason that woman has seemed to him a being unaccountable, mysterious a being who likes what a reasonable crea ture must loathe . . . And the "un employed" women who told the novelist that they would like to be dominated "for a change" would probably welcome any sort of change from their idleness. There Is no life so cloying, so wearisome, "Jiggs" and "Maggie" Are Diabolically Adept at Wiles of Leading Innocent Lambkins Over "Bridge of Sighs" to Die TVained Goats Necessary to Decoy Suspicious and Hesitating Victims to Packing Plant Killing Floors Female of Species Less Deadly Than Male, Experts Assert Veterans Retired on Tobacco Pensions After Long Service Grew Fastidious About Personal Lodgings. You wouldn't think there was any thing deceitful and treacherous about "Jiggs" and "Maggie," a happy-go-lucky pair of goats as in nocent in appearance as any who ever nibbled at a tin can or gobbled down a sheet for breakfast. They belie their looks. Far and wide through the South Omaha packing plant district they're known as two of the most success ful "stool pigeons" and Judas lfcariots of the Omaha stock yards. Thousands of sheep and lambs have been lured to death by persuasive "baa-bass" and other coaxing goat "come-on stuff," at which "Jiggs" tnd "Maggie" are diabolically adept. It's an unenviable reputa tion to have. But if it weren't for "Jiggs" and "Maggie" and other goat male and female "vamps" you'd have a hard time getting those mutton chops and lamb frys and fricassees for your table Refuse to Be Driven. All packing houses find it neces sary, officials assert, to maintain a herd of trained goats to decoy sus picious and hesitating sheep and lambs to the killing floors. Cattle and hogs at the yards have drivers, who emit noises both con ciliatory and threatening, young men who follow the animals to the killing floors and back up their shouts with the cracking of whips. But men fail completely in at tempts to deal with sheep and lambs, for they refuse to be driven. They stop stock still in wondering amaze ment and no amount of shouting and cursing and cracking of whips can budge them. Over the "Bridge of Sighs." But they can be led, and that's where "Jiggs" and "Maeeie" and others of their "set" come in. When a Dunch ot sheep are to be led to the shackling pen, "Jiggs" and "Maggie" are trotted out. meet the herd, right-about-face and lead their newly made friends across the "bridge of sighs." If they find the sheep are not following them, they go back and a few seconds of close conference follows. Just what argu ments the goats use remain a mys tery, but they always get results. These goat leaders' have many pecularities, packing plant officials say. Outside of "business hours" they refuse to associate with sheep and keep to themselves in private pens. But when it's a matter of leading sheep to the slaughter, they're always on the job. Stubborn at times, though, their human bosses report." Great lovers of tobacco, they sometimes refuse to work unless given a chew from the sheep herder's pocket. Fastidious Drinking Tastes. They're "upstage," too, about their drinking, according to E. V. Arnold of the Swift and Company office force here. Absolutely refuse to drink from a bucket, preferring their water direct from the nozzle of a hose. . The common "tin can" goat makes the best leader and outclasses Angora and other fancy breeds, Mr. Arnold says. He considers the "Billies" more efficient than "Nan nies," in the decoy work, a case, he points out, where the female of the species is less deadly .than the male. Swift and Company maintain a herd of six decoy goats. It requires about 30 days to train a leader goat, and patience and kindness on the part of the trainer are most essen tial, Mr. Arnold says. Jack Casey, head sheep buyer in Omaha for Armour and Company, has taken deep interest ill actions and habits of the leader goats. Nan Practises Jealousy. "We had one goat we called Nan," he says, "which served as sheep leader for the Omaha plant of Armour & Co. for 17 years. Nan was nearly 19 years old when she began to show signs of incapacity, and to put her out of misery one of IB wL , I teMsaasMMCS n iff m JmLmmmmmmlm the boys chloroformed her to death about a year ago. "Two years ago , Phillip Armour, III, was a visitor at the stock yards and I was showing him about the sheep pens. Nan came up to him and put her nose into his hand as a mark of affection and a seeming display of knowledge that fche had met the 'big boss.' Mr. Armour was told of the long service put in by Nan and he ordered her out of service and placed on the pension list. Nan hung around the sheep pens and the boys used to feed her pie and other dainties. She would chew about 10 cents', worth of to bacco a day. , . ,' "When Nan, was in active service she was often given a summer vaca tion, and Charlie Bott, one of the sheep buyers, used to take her home and make a pet of her and she be came a playmate of his children. Nan was 4 very jealous animal and tefused to work with a partner; nor wculd she ever assist in training other goats for leaders. She had for a numbet of years the peculiar and proud distinction of bearing Highjacker Lieutenant Describes Ostenberg Raid In Exclusive Interview Subleader of Gang Operating in Omaha Gossips "Over His, Cup" with Enterprising Reporter Laughs at Risks Praises Women "Lookouts" Justifies High Prices Denounces "Guerilla Bands" and Scuttles Away foi Fresh "Job." "" " ' "' Tlis hlghjaoker sat with a battle of tin, Singing a sonf of glee; "Oh, the sad-eyed soaks may perish of thirst. ' But there'! plenty of boots for me," v Sang he. He gurgled a pint from his bottle of gin, And slapped his hand on his knee; "A dollar a drink to the thirsty horde, Ho-ho, and I take mine free," Sang he. , He poured for himself a hooker of hooch, And chortled chuckles three; "As long as the rich store cellars with boose, Oh, this is the life for me." Quoth he. Over a bottle of 1910 Sunnybrook, in a gas-lit room of a dirty little restaurant down near the river, one of the lieutenants in Omaha's highly organized band Of booze burglars ex plained Friday night some of the details of successful highjacking and told a thrill-filled tale of the recent looting of the supposedly burglar- so purposeless as the life of the purely ornamental. Spends as Others Starve. Fundamentally, the proposition advanced by Senor Ibanez is this: The woman is an ornament merely, the woman whose mission in life is the consideration of her personal appearance and the cult of her own pleasure is much too expensive a luxury for an impoverished world to support. It is she who keeps go ing many luxury trades amongst nations that starve for necessaries not only by her own blind spending, but by the envy she arouses in her poorer sisters by their pitiful at tempts at emulation. It may be that the only way to improve her is to "treat her rough ly.'' If so I say it without hesita tion I would employ that unchival roiis method. But before acting on Senor Ibanez's adviee it might be well if male humanity were to reflect on two significant facts. First, that so long as a woman's interests are those of a home only, monetary suc cess on the part of her husband means a life of idleness for her. And, second, that the overdressed, expensive domestic ornament is largely the result of masculine de mand for a type that is attractive crd thinks not! jffifS NEVER GRIPE OR SICKEN FOR LIVER AND BOWELS All Biliousness, Headache and Constipation gonel proof liquor vault at the home of W. H. Ostenberg, Omaha potash mag nate. This highjacker,' according to his story, is a veteran of more than a score of raids on cellars of wealthy Omaha liquor hoarders. He takes part, he claims, only in "big jobs." He is young, smooth-shaven, fairly well dressed and drives a car his own. Whether the methods by which it reached him were devious, or otherwise, he did not explain. It is violating no confidence to say that among some of his pals he is known as "Hooch." Confirms Police Suspicions. He confirmed police suspicions that most of the operations of the last few months, involving taking from Omaha cellars of thousands of dollars worth of whisky, wines and assorted liquors, were the work of one organization and directed by one head. "Probably $10,000 a month changes hands in highjacker opera tions in Omaha," he said. "There's probably a hundred men making their living by highjacking raids and in selling captured booze. Most of these men are members of one main gang, but there are some 'guerrilla' raids by outsiders." "Hooch" refused even to. hint at the identity of the "highjacker chief." Laughs at "Risks." "Nope, n6thin doin' on that," he said. "He's a real guy and he's clever and on the square. The boys like him. That's all I can say." He laughed at the "risks" in volved in liquor raiding. "There's enough danger to make it exciting," he said, "but there are a lot of men engaged in mofe dan gerous work that get less pay out of it." More danger of arrest is in volved in selling stolen liquor than in stealing it, he declared. Watches Society Columns. "We have things so well sys tematized now," he explained, "that most of the big jobs are pulled when the owners of the booze are away from home. That's the particular job of one of the boys to watch the society and personal columns of newspapers for information on these society birds that flit away for the southland and the coast and so forth. He used to be a newspaper reporter and he keeps us well posted. "He tips off the stuff to the big chief and then we get busy. At least two or three of the gang that's to be on the job always go out and look over the place in advance. Usually we can get the name of the copper on the beat and we always find out whether there are any night watchmen to contend with. "I've heard stories about bribing policemen and watchmen, so as to have everything all in the clear, but I can't say I Know any real dope about any of that sort of stuff. That Ostenberg Job. "It's usually easy enough, any how, even when there's a copper who keeps his eyes open. "Now that Ostenberg job, for in stance. We .had the dope on the family going on a visit to Alliance the day after they left, but there were some other jobs already planned that we wanted to get off our hands first. Then, it took a little time to get the lay all mapped out. You probably noticed, too, the Ostenberg's next door neighbors were away the night the .booze was taken. "I'm not saying I was 011 that job, but I know about it. The gang ran into a snag that first night they went into the cellar and bumped ti against that 'burglar proof vault where 'Potash Ostie' kept his booze, behind concrete a foot thick and a heavy steel door that had a combina tion lock and hinges sunk deep into the cement. Looked Hopeless at First. . "It looked almost hopeless i av first, I understand, betause there would have been a lot of danger of waking up the neighborhood if a try had been made at blowing off the blamed door. It looked like tak ing too much of a chance. "Finally the bunch decided to chisel through the wall of the vault and four men and a lookout were busy on the job for three nights, before- they finally opened up a space big enough, for a man to crawl into the vault. He opened the door from the inside and the rest was easy. The chisel gang, the night they got into the vault, cele brated with a "little midnight lunch in 'Potash Ostie's' kitchen. "The lookout they used on that job was a woman. Sure, there's two women in our gang and they're mighty useful at times. You couldn't find any man gamer than that little woman that chauffeured for the bunch that the cops nearly caught out at Thirtieth and Vane streets about 10 days ago, could you? Believe me, the way that little girl speeded that car down the road and made a clean getaway was great "Yes, we've sold part of Ostie's liquor stock, but there's still some of his whisky stored away. Have to keep the reserve stock scattered, of course. It takes time, too, to get a gang together for a job. "It's too dangerous to have a regular hangout and a lot of the bunch don't like to trust the tele phone. Mostly send one of the boys around with a message. "Of course, all of the bunch don't limit themselves to highjacking. They go in for other stuff, too. But not for me. I'm satisfied with the booze profits. "Yep, highjacking has become a real business. Have another drink. Something doing at 12:30 and I've ot to be there. either twins or triplets every year, and two of her sons and one daugh ter are in the service at present, working as leaders. Male "Vamp" Wavers. "'Blue Devil' is the king of the band of leaders in service at the Armour & Co. plant at present He refuses to start work in the m6rning until he is given a liberal chew of tobacco. .This goat seems to take particular delight in leading inno cent lambs and sheep to the slaugh ter pens. 1 "There's a story about Blue Devil that a big, handsome ewe, with her winning ways tried to vamp him one day and. that he nearly fell for her, but recovered himself in time and led her to the slaughter without a tremor. "After that day . there seems to have ben a change in Blue Devil, as though he ever saw before him the pleading eyes of that ewe as she gave him a last look when he left her to her fate and went back to lure more sheep to destruction."
