February is a month of great birth

American spirit mark it with n white

that their names are George Wash

To Advertise City.
All profit from the carnival will
be used to advertise san Antonio by
helping TO defray expenses OF the
ElkS' 60-niece band and ElkS' patrol
on the trip to Atlanta this summer
for the grand lodge convention. Last
year the band and patrol went to
Atlantic City a. part Of the San
Antonio Elks delegation and secured
publicity for this city that could not
be purchased for any amount Of
money. Papers in the east and all
along the route carried front page
news stories about the uniformed
delegation and its activities.

patrol visited Los Angeles. carrying

To HOLD

APRIL 8 To "A
Week of Merry-making at
Club Building AS
sured Patrons.
OPEN TO PUBLIC
Everybody Is Invited to
Help Worthy Cause
and Boost City.

Committees Of the Elks' lodge are
busy with plans for the fourth an
nual carnival, which will be held in
the club building on Pecan street
from April . to IA, inclusive. The
program as mapped out for the week
of merry-making is the most eiabor-
ate ever attempted by the lodge and
indicates that the event will be even
more notable than the big successes
of former years.
During carnival week the Elks'
club will be thrown open TO the pub
lie and dedicated TO the pleasure of
the many thousands of people who
will visit the carnival in search Of
diversion. The first, second and
seventh floors and roof of the big
club will be given over to entertain
ment features in keeping with the
occasion.
As in former years, the ground
floor will be devoted TO exhibits of
merchants and manufacturers. There
will be dozens of booths in which
many different products will be dis
played for benefit of the public. The
large number Of reservations already
received gives basis for the belief that
the exhibit will he one OF the most
complete of its kind ever arranged
in San Antonio.
Carnival Games Feature.
On the second floor carnival games
will be played. and in the big room
on the seventh floor an even greater
number and variety Of such attrac-
ha Ill
Booths and sideshowS will entice the
visitors, and each place will have its
ballyhoo man TO tell of the wonders
of his particular offering.
One portion OF this floor will be
set aside for a big free show. II is
planned 70 have three performances
nightly and to change the show com
pletely from day to day. Arrange
mentS have been made TO secure pro-
feSsional entertainers for this part
of the carnival program.
The seventh floor will also he
headquarters for refreshments. while
the roof will be reserved for the use
Of dancers. The roof and each floor
will have its own orchestra.
Every night will he a big night and
will hold out special inducements 20
the public. In the course Of the
week three Overland automobiles
two touring cars and a cOupe-and
a valuable photograph viii be given
away as attendance prizes. to say
nothing Of numerous prizes Of lesser
value which are TO be awarded night
ly.
May Stage Wedding.
Thursday night Of carnival week
promises to be one of the most in
tteresting of all, for a public wedding
is in prospect at that time. The
names of the couple to be married
will be kept secret until the night
in question.
Another interesting feature in con
necti0n with the carnival is n ladies
popularity contest. Announcement of
the girl selected for the honor will
be made on Friday night.
Opening of the carnival on Monday.
April 8, will be heralded by a hi
street parade. The procession will

ridity of the recent advance and the
S.inclination of operators for the
rise to extend their commitments at

which was caused by heavy Hauida-

that estimates today would even be
less than those which had been issued
