"BUllS-HEAD" BREAKFAST.
Gives Humorist Little Wild Impulse
to Demolish Anything
Red.

Henry Titles impressions OF this
breakfast as given in the Los Angeles
Examiner:
The very fact that | have been
aske TO write about something in Los
Angeles from the standpoint of the
"effete east makes me believe more
than ever that Chicago is most admir-
ably situated from a geographical
standpoint.
while in New York a month or WI
ago 1 was requested to handle a Man
haitian function from the standpoint Of
the wild and woolly west
"Kipling is wrong. East and west
meet in Chicago.
when / go east from Chicago, l
wear a sombrero and call everybody
%'pardner.'
When I go west from Chicago l
wear a Newmarket coat and white
spats and call everybody old chap
Il am a westerner in New York and
an easterner in California. Great
place. Chicago.
1--WE fasteners now in Los Angeles,
including Cowles from Des Moines.
which is in Iowa. and Steele from
Kansas City, besides some 80 other
citizens of Manhattan living not more
than 1000 miles outside of the borough
of tho Bronx, enjoy Los Angeles ex-
ceedingly.
1--WE approve of bull head breakfasts.
II was given out in a sylvan grove
with hand-painted oranges on the trees
and a pile of leaves covered with cot
ton and labeled Chicago to make the
tourists feel perfectly at home.
But it wasn't natural. That snow
should have been painted a battleship
gray and then daubed with tar. That's
the way the beautiful snow looks in
Chicago.
They had the bull heads down il a
pit, where the cook said they had been
cooking for three weeks.
II believe him. | believe anything
they tell me in Los Angeles. But that
cook ought not to be wasting his time
cooking bull heads.
"He belongs in a nice little tent away
out on the desert, where there are nice
little white sticks driven all around
like the score board in a penuckle
game, and a sign oyer the tent
'Balmydale on the Kill; these choice
city lots in this new subdivision for
sale, cheap
The pit in which the bull heads
were cooked was all covered over with
earth, like a new made grave.
The cook acted as principal grave
digger and when it was decided to hold
the autopsy on the bull heads he shov-
eled of the earth and the bull heads
came forth. They were good eating,
but, somehow, when my plate was
piled high with scrambled bull head
lost my appetite.
That's how I came to swallow a
nose ring and get a horn stuck in my
throat.
while the eating progressed, Span
ish songs were sung. The committee
said It was bad form to eat bull head
unless accompanied with Spanish
songs and chill con carne, whatever
that is.
Il like bull head breakfasts. | wish
we could have them in Chicago. We
do something in the meat industry in
Chicago and | couldn't see why we
shouldn't have bull head breakfasts.
but the cook said it had to be a
California bull. No other kind would
do. He said the bull had to be fed on
oranges and prunes for six months be-
fore being killed and if the sun failed
to shine on him two days in succession

80 that knocks out a scheme | had
for supplanting pink teas on the Lake
Shore drive.
"A most genial feeling came over me
after that bull head breakfast, except
| felt q wild impulse to dash madly at
n red flag that hung on a tree.
Everybody seemed similarly affect,
ed ana the nan that owned the flag
hurried to take 1t down.
Finally they brought us back to the
hotel. | was glad to get back without
getting into trouble.
II came near hooking a very swee.
I, little cir. in the street. She was al
awful nice little girl, but she had rec
hair.
t And when | got almost 10 the hote
/, there was almost a greater catas
trophe.
; 1t was a red automobile. We al
: saw ii at once and made for it will
fierce bellows. But the chauffeur CAV,
a yell and turned on 300 volts. thinl
l he's still going.
Bull head breakfasts are fine. Blu
no one is ever going 10 get me insid,
