BANNED IN MEXICO, BERATED IN SPAIN arranza’s edict which abolished bull fAighting in Mexico and converted the famous Gran Plaza de Toros of Mexico City into an open air opera house, and the Ibanez novel which, re- cently translated into English, may be termed the ‘Uncle Tom's Cabin’ of the bull fight, have aroused keen interest in the patiomal sport of Spain” says a bulletin from the Washington beadquarters of the National Geo- graphic Society. Charles Upson Clark, nication to the soclety, picture of a bull fight in Madrid, as follows: “On Sunday aftermoons a gay throng gathers; the bull-fighters march out in their brilliant costumes, and the ceremony of slaying the bull begins. It is aimost a ritual and every detail must be punctiliously observed. First, the bull is made to charge the horse- in a commu- men, the picadgres, who jab him with | short-pointed spears; the horses wear a blinder over ome eve, 50 that their rider can keep them from seeing ‘the bulls onset, If the horses are not kill- ed at onee when the bull gores them, they are sewed up and made to meet another attck.-' This is the revolting part of it~ After enough of this, nim- ble banderilleros throw their darts in- to the bull's neck and shoulders at just the proper place and interval These men, and fhe espadas (mata- ChildreniCry FOR FLETCHER'S .

The audience, with eves keen.as hawks', applaud, every good stroke,.and hoot in derision at any misplay Concerning the history of the sport the bulletin continues: “The American speaks of ‘bread and butter’ as theelemental necessaries of |life: but the Spanish equivalent for iat simile is ‘pan y toros’, or ‘bread and bulls’ The sport is a deposit of the Moorish civilization, or lack of it, carried to the peninsula afloat the high tide of the invasion, and left as an unfortunate sediment after the hosts receded.

Some_Spanish kings practiced the port. The wizened Charles V. killed a bull as a part of his inaugural cere- by burlesque mony, and the ill-fated dilettante, Philip TV, was an amateur matador. Other kinds sought to suppress bull fighting; popes threatened its revo- jtees with excommunication, but by the early 1Sth century it was thoroughly established as a profession. Cruel though bull fighting seems to most other peoples cruelty is not its chief appeal to the Spaniard. Rather he sees in it a drama—a drama, he MILL END DEPARTMENT Ponemah Mills TAFTVILLE, CONN.

The procession immediate- ly preceding it suggests a circus pa- rade for its vivacity and color. Mount- ed messengers, or-aguacils, are in six- teenth .century costume. They go through a ceremony of receiving from the president the keys to the gate where the bull enters, though usually the gate is not locked. The picador is the - survival of the cabelleros who fought on horseback, with lances. From the matador, literally the mas- ter of his own cuadrilla, or troupe of banderilleros and vpicadors, to the ‘wise monkeys, as the attendants of the horses are called, the place of participants in line is as fixed as the precedence at & diplomatic reception; and the costume of each is as rigidly determined as American evening dress. “Always there are the three acts to the drama. First is the hazard play of the picadors, then the affixing of the darts by the men afoot, and finally the .combat of matador and bull. In the ‘major league’ corridas this last is the real conflict of the tragedy, which ! has many opportunities for an _O. Henry quirk. as when an enraged bull cowed all the matadors and their aides, and terrified the crowd until a resourceful spectator held out some lumps of sugar, which placated him! At least that is a story told of a Mex- ico City exhibition. But in .a great majority of the fights the bull was permitted to gore so many horses, and was so_thoroughly tired out, that the experienced matador took little chance in_dispatching his weary adversary. ““Bull fighting in Spain is an indus- As Cood As Ever.

Walter Moore a well known writer. say: Tt ers to work is a_common thing for farm- their horses in the hay- field from morning to night, water- ing them oniy_at noon. This is done even on days Ol excessive heat. The driver usually ‘has two or more re- freshing drinks in the middle of the morning, and again in the afternoon; but the horses, who are equally as thirsty, go. without. This want of water is_not only distressing, but it causes the horses to drink to excess at noon and again at night, which often results in colic, and always tends to produce a distended stom- ach, or what farmers call a ‘hay bel- iy Farmers who would treat their horses humanely should take water into the field for them in hot weath- er.” Discharging a Cook. One resul of the bolshevist law that persons who are emploved can- not be removed arbitarily is- instanc- ed by the Bulletin Russe,. published by the League for the Regeneration of Russia at Lausanne, Switzerlani. It declares that at Smolensk a bach- elor had a cook whom he wished to diecharge. She refused to leave her place and he was unable to turn her out. _On the advice of a bolshevist friend the bachelor married his cook and immediately afterward divorced her. a divorced woman she was legally compelled to leave the prem- ises. -hings' He Will Not Part With.
