INEXPENSIVE ATOMIC POWER . . . F. Aldcn Miller, cxccutivc of
a Buffalo machinery company, has offered to demonstrate to scien-

up with fancy charts and fancy-sounding scientific names trying to
make people think it is something super natural," Miller asserted,

'No-parking arras, one way

A rip-snortin' rodeo reminiscent
of the hard-riding, brone-busting
days when the Texas cowboy was
unchallenged king of the range
will rcreate one of the most color-
ful chapters of Southwestern his-
tory for those who visit the State
Fair of Texas from Octi>l er 5
to 20.
This fact was assurred when
W. II. Hitdelberger, executive vice
president and general manager of
the Fair association, announced
that Pat Hamilton and his fa-
mous Hell's Half Acre contingent
have been signed as a featured
Fair attraction, to present two
I action-packed rodeos a day on
the Fair grounds.
All of the robust stunts, the
early, untamed West will be re-
staged in this fast moving show,
presenting in a modern setting
might have oeen enjoyed a half
century ago by the pioneers of
the new frontier, Mr. Hitdelber-
ger said. Among the outstanding
attractions to be held are wild
bronc riding, both with saddle ana
on bareback; calf roping, wil*
mare milking, steer riding, clown's
performance, bull fighting and
I other special rodeo acts.
| Prize money to winners of these
j various events will total close to
j SI6,000, rodeo officials have an-
! nounced. A Grand Champion Cow-
boy of tne rodeo will be crowned
and will be presented a silver-
munted saddle ?s a token of his
supremacy. To be eligible for the
title, cowhands must compete in
J at least three events, which must
include one roping and one riding
j contest.
The award will be on a point
system, high man over the dur-
ation of the rodeo to be crowned
champion.
Special attractions planned for
| the exhibition of wild west events
include a tee-pee village of full-
I blooded Cherokee and a herd of
i buffalo.
Arrangements have been made
to house all contestants on the
Fair grounds and stalls are avail-
able for competitor's horses.
Signing of the Fargo, Okla-
