Midwinter Carnival headquarters
presents a scene of bristling activity
these days. A constant stream of per-
sons passes through all day: some Of
them visitors seeking information,
some of them workmen awaiting in
structions.
Secretary Lockwood is just now the
busiest man in town and next to him
come DIR. Stark, Julius. Krakauer ana
several other of the most active work
ers of the executive committee who
have taken the foremost place in push
ing along the celebration to success
full termination.
Not the least active among the work
ers to be seen around Carnival head
quarters is Uncle John Julian. chair
man of the committee on publicity and
advertising and a member of the exec
utive committee. AS chairman of the
press committee he has had his hands
full during the past few days arrang-
ing for the reception of the editors.
who assemble from all parts of the
southwest and meet on Friday at the
rooms of the Ell Paso club. Uncle John
well knows how to entertain and it is
safe to say that not a newspaper man
WHO attends the Carnival but will so
home with grateful remembrances of
the courteous and popular chairman of
the advertising committee and it is
safe to say that if Uncle John ever
wants anything from the newspapers
he can get it.
Yesterday Chairman Julian was busy
distributing press badges to local news-
paper men. These badges are issued
only on presentation of the proper Gre
dentials and entitle the wearer to al
mission to all entertainments given
