Los Angeles yesterday took on the
Fiesta colors.
1t also came forth arrayed in more
shriner emblems and in many hues.
From ell the trolley wires in the busi-
ness center the devices that catch the
eyes and inspire enthusiasm because
of their festive appearance and the
memories that they awaken were to be
seen yesterday.
When they have all been scattered
widely, as the committee intends, Los
Angeles will have a riot in colors dis
played.
For a week merchants, clubs and
others have displayed the Shriner en-
blems in honor of the visitors, but not
until all of the Fiesta decorations had
been delivered did the townspeople
and the tourists realize how thoroughly
the metropolis of Southern California
and of the coast does things in the line
of hospitality.
The Shriners and the Fiesta shared
equally In the decorative scheme.
Flags, emblems and devices represent
ing camels, fezzes and swords were de-
picted on cloth and alternately the
Fiesta colors, grape, orange and olive
were suspended. From every cross
wire along the downtown trolley sys-
TENS hung the picturesque devices, and
the breezes stirred them into motion
all the time.
Approaching the spirit of merriment
and amusement that prevails most of
the visitors are accepting the general
invitation to remain at least till May
21 to participate in the city's festivities.

ohioan Is Delighted
R. N. Hull of Columbus, Ohio,
charter and honorary member of the
visiting Shriners' club of Los Angeles,
is one of the most delighted visitors
from the east.
Mr.. Hull is supreme treasurer of the
United Commercial Travellers of Amer
lea and editor of "The Sample Case"
a monthly magazine published in Col
umbus.
''I have been trying for twenty-five
years to find an opportunity to come
to Los Angeles" said Mr.. Hull last
evening, "and 1 thought the time had
come when the temple to which I be-
longed planned to come to Los An
geles. But when Collins threw cold
water on us decided like many others
to come at all hazards even if San
Francisco has suffered almost untold
agonies. That is no excuse that the
Shriners should feel that they were
