TEXAS TO- HOLD
BULL FIGHT
SOON
First BuIIdogging Contest for
Women Will Be Staged at
Fort Worth Exposition
BY CHARLES LEAyELLE.
International News Service.

FORT WORTH, Tex, Feb. 80
The greatest rodeo in the history
of Texas, the States first bulldog
ging contest for women and bull
fight-these are the inducements
offered visitors by the Southwest
ern Fat Stock Show and EXPOSE
ton, to be held here March z to IA.
Purses aggregating thousands OF
dollars are on deposit for the
heroes and heroines of the rodco,
and a longhorn Texas steer--al.
ready disguised with creation in
generals being so tantalized that
he will be completely out of humOr
when he stalks into the sanded
arena for his game of tiddle-Winks
with the toreadors.
Z Life.sized specimens of these lat
ter have been obtained-straight
from Mexico-with two or three
rnatadors thrown in for good meas
ure. The bull, however, will be as
safe as the Presidents hobby-norse.
He is protected by Texas laws that
are the official thumbs down on
murder OF innocent steers.
But the cows husband has not
been informed that he will be IN
no danger, and probably he viii
enter the. ring with the deadly de-
termination to do all the damage
he can before he gets his.
Expect Good Time.
Unfortunately, perhaps, the
learned solons neglected to provide
statutes to govern bloodthirsty de.

may be seized while romping about
with his rag-waving friends, and
bullfight fans predict good Tina

bly,, Of the toreadors and their
teammates, the matadors. The steer.
they say, is assured of a bully time.
Accordingly, the Mexican popula-
ton is purchasing the customary
admission pasteboards in wholesale
uuantitfes-not because they expect
or hope for bloodshed-bu because
il any of the principals in the
Forthcoming petting party leave the
ring in a horizontal position these
countrymen Of Don Quixote desire
to be among those present.
Next to the bullfight, interest
turns to the bulldogging events.
The steer in this parlor trick, as
in the other. has a heavy role, the
idea being to grasp MIN Dy Ms
horns, roll him over and tie his
legs while he is still wondering lii
his bovine way what 1t Is all
about.
More Bulldogging.
The gentle and joyous pastime Of
bulldogging has heretofore beet
considered a manly sport, but the
ladies-inspired. perhaps, by the
governors -example-are entering
the lists against the huskier sex.
Officials offered them a bulldog
ging contest of their own, probably
intending to run In a herd of
calves. This proposition was snap
ped up, the ladies' entry list filled
to overlooking, and invasions into
the cowpunchers' division were con-
tinued.
The usual trick riding and rop-
ing stunts have been arranged. liz
which many former world chaE;-
,pions will take part. A number OF
cowgirls and cowboys who ap-
peared in Tex Austin's New York
and London rodeo contests have
entered for the coming Texas
rOdeo.

Pres lUIcnt said To Have Made up His Mind tu Name No Recess Post ,I masters.

Washington, April 9t.-- President Coolidge has practically abandoned the policy of making recess appolnt- ments of postmastcrs, allowing in stead the hlltne of vacancies by ap- pointmcnt of acting postmasters by Postmaster Genera New
 While no special reason is assigned for the new procedure, White House officials believe the president has adopted it more as means of saN- ing himself time and trouble.
 In recess appointments it is re- auircd that the president sign tho commissions. This alone has be- come a problem for the chief eNocu- tive since he must sign his name to many forms of commissions daily.
 With the rcconvening of congress the president will resume nominat- ing postmasters and he can then fill the offices according 10 his choice regardless of whether acting post masters have been designated.
