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

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

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

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.

"There's a story about Blue Devil

NEW MEXICO BOOMING
WITH OIL FIELD
OPERATIONS
Many of the most eminent
Geologist have expressed the
opinion that New Mexico
would develop into one of THE
LARGEST OIL FIELDS IN
THE WORLD.
Hundreds of thousands of acres
have been leased by the
largest oil companies in the
United States, hundreds of
wells are being drilled and mil
lions - of dollar are being
spent in development.
I have 2,000 acres on the
Santa Eosa Dome in the Pecos
Valley, which if taken at once
can be purchased for a very
reasonable price. The Santa
Rosa field has been examined by
scores of the best Geologists in
the U. S., and bo far as known
not one unfavorable report has
been made.
Experienced oil men are of the
opinion that it is the largest oil
pool in the world. The pur
chaser of these leases should
make a clear profit of several
lundred per cent on his in
vestment inside of the next six
months from date.
Millionaires by the thousands
are going: to be created this
year in the New Mexico Oil
fields.
Oil leases rightly purchased
have made more millionaires
than were ever created by any
other industry in the same
length of time.

Mr. McCahill proposes to try his
