El Paso Is Planning A Royal Reception For The T. P. A. Members Kris Mi
Teas Eta WiD M Frw All AMERICAN TELEPHONE SERVICE
PMiiis Of The Sbte At This ineci' AGAIN SUPREME
El P&ito, Tcxks, May.—Texas newspaper men will turn the clock back
1*0 years when they fro to El I'kso in June for the annual convention of
the Texan Press Association. Not in El Paso, for this trans-Pecos city is
as hustling, live and progressive as is Dallas, Houston or the other citii*
ot Texas. But in Juarez, Old Mexico, where the convention will be held at
the same time it is in progress in El Puso.
This does not mean that the unofficial sessions will be held in the cafes
and bars of the old frontier Mexican town, althougn these as well as the
ancietn, adobe federal jail will have Spanish "welcome" signs over their
doors. The Mexican part of the program is to be official ai< all thing* are
in Mexico. General Roman Loptz, commander of the Juarez garrison, will
' receive the delegates at his headquarters, assisted by the staff of the
Juarez brigade. Mayor Antonio Corona will hold a formal reception at
the Presidencia and will give the Texas newspaper men the key to the
city. He will also deliver an address of welcome and will speak in Spanish
at the big barbecue, which is to be a feature of the convention in the
historic Tivoli Gardens in Juarez.
The Juarez sights, quaint customs and ancient scenes will not be the
only touch of Spain the delegates will see when they come to El F'aso.
The official headquarters of the convention will be the Hotel Orndoff,
worthy successor to the famous old Hotel Orndoff of frontier cattle and
mining days.
This new Spanish hotel on the Plaza of El Paso will be turned over to
the newspaper men during the convention by Managing Director, K. Burt
Orndoff. From the time they alight from their taxicabs at the Puerto del
Bol, which is the main entrance to the hotel, the visitors will think thny
are in old Spain. Spanish tiled arcades, a grand stairway leading to the
beamed and frescoed Spanish Lobby, the Spanish Room, the Spanish Sala,
or Lounge, the Tea Room Espanolu and th< Crystal Hall Room all r< .m mble
a castle of old Spain on the Plaza of El I'aso.
Spanish senoritas will usher thi delegates to th« ir places in thi (lining
room, bell boys in Spanish costumes will greet them and little senoritas
in typical costumes will take them to thi ir respective floors in the eleva-
tors. The waitresses will be dressed in native costumes, the t nt'-rtainers
will be native Mexicans in typical costumes and everything will in the
Spanish Renaissance theme of the hotel.
The official slogan for Texas Press Week in El I'aso will In "bi< n-
venido", which means "welcome" and a little bit more in Spanish. Anil thif
nign will be ovt-r the dorr of the new Orndoff.
NOTICE—MEMBERS AMERICAN LEGION and EX-SOI
When San Francisco talked to London on February 26, a distance of
7,278 miles, transatlantic telephone service was finally accomplished for
the whole United States.
The human voice traveled over hardened copper wire through Chicago and
New York to Long Island. There the voice jumped almost 8,000 miles to
be picked u| ly only a small copper wire at an English receiving station.
At the eastern edge of our continent it was magnified 2,000,000 times
for its journey through the- ether, a la radio.
Transatlantic te lephone' engineers arranged a path for it over the water
with a 3,000 mete r wave- length, and leaping at incalcuable' speed, away
went the human voice. |
The' American telephone system deserves credit for giving this new ser-j
vice to the public. It pioneered the undertaking, just as American genius
gave the telephone to the' world and furnishe-d transcontinental telephone
service in the United States before other countries had ven fair local tele-
phone' communication.
Once again our te lephone system, developed and carried on by private
initiative and entre'prise, gives an object lesson as to its superiority in '
rendering service to the people, in comparison with the less progressive j
publicly owned systems in Europe.
Long-distance telephone service in Europe is limited, due to multipli-
city of systems and lack of uniformity in equpiment and operating methods.
July the 2nd is zero hour for reinstatement of government
Every ex-soldier should have this insurance. It is not only cheapw,
gilt edge, as strong as the government itself. If you have not
application for reinstatement, I would suggest that you see
Joe A. Clark at once who will be glad tog ive you all the adviet
