Be Employed by
Citizens


visitors to the number of 10000, who
are coming from every point of the
compass to attend the national conven-
tion and reunion of that order to be
held here during all of next week. They
are now en- route.
And, in order that nothing shall be
left undone to make the visit of the
knights so cordial and so hearty that
they will never cease it's remembrance,
the local executive committee, in charge
of arrangements, is working night and
day, almost without eat or sleep. And
every high private in the ranks is put
ting his shoulder to the great wheel
and helping to move it to grind out
more pleasure, greater joys and pleasant
memories for the weeks guests.
Arrangements are about completed,
but the time is so near for the coming
of the mighty hosts that many of the
plans already laid for receiving and en-
ertaining the visitors must be put into
execution. The time for planning, in
other words, has now passed and it is
the time for execution.
Decoration Plans
Assistant Secretary Zinsmester stated
yesterday that plans were being put
into execution to interest the citizen
ship Of Los Angeles in the idea of
decorating their homes and business
establishments and thereby conveying
the welcome which the masses would

visitors. The sights of a decorated cot
tage, the mansion and the business
house, which is intended to greet the
visitor at every turn of the eye, will be
an inspiring one and cannot fail of ap-
probation.
The city council was requested Mon
day to decorate the municipal buildings,
and that body Immediately acted favor
ably upon it, instructing the city clerk
to have the city hall decorated and
flag flung to the breezes in the street
front The council also issued instruc-
tions to the chief of police to grant per-
mission to erect a reviewing stand in
front Of the cathedral on Main street.
This stand is to be used by the dig
nitaries of the order and prominent
ecclesiastics to review the evening dress
parade on Saturday night. June IL.
Bureaus of Information
Realizing the fact that practically
all of the visitors will be strangers in
the city, unacquainted with locations,
and desiring to reduce to a minimum
the inconvenience necessarily incident
to the handling of such an army of
guests as will attend the convention
and reunion, the local executive COM
mittee has announced that official
headquarters and bureau of informa-
tion will be established in the lobbies
of the Angelus, Lankershim and Hol-
lenbeck hotels, in charge Of Miss L. L.
Whitlock.
At these headquarters corps Of as
sistants will be in constant attendance
to furnish the guests with information
of every nature, and aid them in the
way of information upon any detail of
the arrangements. direct them to
places of interest, inform them of
meetings and explain any and every
thing which the stranger-visitor may
desire to know. These bureaus will be
opened on Monday morning, June 5,
and be continued until Sunday night,
