...with "grub." A rodeo cowboy gets no salary at all. He pays his own traveling expenses, hotel bills, entrance fees (sometimes as much as $100 for one event). If he competes at calf roping, he has to pay the feed bill and transportation cost of his specially trained horse (even more necessary to a calf roper than trained ponies are to a poloist).

...miss the Broadway roundup. With luck one man can win $4,000 at the Garden while his wife gets the Broadway permanent she has been dying for. Some wives perform at the Garden too (almost all rodeos have women's bronc-riding contests).

...came to no workaday hospital, devoted to textbook treatment of disease, but to a great temple of experiment, where even sober trustees are fired by the high task of ending body's tyranny over mind, To 45-year-old Dr. Putnam, as to the other bold, competent physicians in the Institute, the study of brain processes and the treatment of brain ills is a "bread-&-butter science." Deeply concerned with detours of nerve paths and battles of brain cells, he knows that a long chain of simple injections, or the sharp bite of a surgeon's knife into...
