ENGLISHWOMEN TAKING JOBS
ONCE HELD BY MEN
(Special to Gateway by United Press)
LONDON. April 5.—Nine per cent
more women were employed in:
December, 1915, than in July, 1914 in
English industry, including national j
munition factories but exclusive of
commercial, clerical, professional,
railroad and miscellaneous government
work. The estimate is the Board of
Trade’s.
Every' month, it is added. 17.000
more women enter the fields of work
hitherto practically monopolized by
men.
During the IS months ended Jan.
14. 1916, the labor exchange placed in
employment 617,000 women ami girls, j
This is a 47 per cent increase over the 1
18 months preceding the war, which
indicates that 288,990 women have
taken men’s places.
The development of the work also
has been progressive. In the first six
months of the war the exchanges
found work for 152,000. in the
second six months the number was*
218,000. In the third six months it
was 255,000.

HOW “GET YOUR GOAT”
CAME TO BE INVENTED
(Special to Gateway by United Press)
NEW YORK, March 30.—The ori
gin of that seemingly senseless,
though in reality highly significant
phrase: “Get Your Goat,” is alleged
explained by Dr. J. Allen Gilbert of
The Medical Record Staff. He said
today that the phrase originated
among racetrack touts “who know
that a high-bred racehorse always
does better work on the racetrack
when he has an old goat friend for a
pal in the paddock; and race horses’
goats sometimes are stolen by owners
or friends of horses competing in the
.next day’s races.” Now wouldn’t
THAT get your goat?
TRIAL OF OSBORNE
ON SECOND CHARGE
(Special to Gatoway by United Press)
WHITE PLAINS, N. Y., March 30.
—Thomas Mott Osborne, mill'onaire
sociologist and Warden-On-Lcure ot
Sing Sing penitentiary, is scheduled
to be tried in State Supreme Court
here today on an indictment charging
him with mismanagement of the
prison. Osborne was recently acqurt- j
ted on the other indictment charging
him with perjury. It was alleged he
misstated facts concerning the moral
i ity of prisoners, while under oath.
! Osborne’s friends say the “gang” is
trying to “get” Osborne “because he
killed the prison graft and cleaned
things up.” District Attorney Weeks
refutes the statement.

POLITICIANS COMING
Passengers on the Alameda say
that some of the prominent Republi
cans who will be delegates to the con
vention here came as far as Cordova
on that vessel and will come here on
the next boat. Shackelford is one of
them and it is supposed that their
trip is being made to the different
towns with a view to seeing the other
delegates before the convention opens.
