LOOKING FOR
THE RADICAL
IN AMERICA
Nina Wilcox Putnam, Author,
Traveling Across Conti
nent by Auto,' Stops in
Columbia.
PRAISES MIDDLE WEST
Has Found Nothing But the
Highest Sentiments and
Ideals of Americanism
So Far.
Halts yibcoTcrj In Columbia
"I just happened to discover the .
School of Journalism,' said Mrs.
Nina Wilcox Putnam, who passed
through Columbia today on a trans
continental tour. "We drove into
town lal night. We were tired and
were looking for nay place to stop
for the night. Our chauffeur, a typ
ical New Yorker, remarked, "This
is a keen town.
"We stopped at the Daniel Boone
Tavern. I bought a paper. The Co
lumbia Evening Missourian. It was
a wonderful paper for a small town.
"Inquiry developed the fact that
1 was in the teat of Missouri's Uni
versity and that the paper was pub
' lfched by the School of Journalism.
That paper is wonderful. I never
saw an) thing like it published by
other than long-experienced news-,
paper men in large cities. The truth i
is, it is not an amateur prodoetion.
So I decided to find out something
about that School of Journalism end
that is why I am here this morning.
I have already subscribed for tbe
Missourian for the coming year."
J have set out to find the radical
in America, and incidentally. I am hav;
ing the time of my hfe."waid Mrs-hum
wifcoi?utnam,''uthor, poet and writer
for ihetSamrdar Evening Post, who was
in Columbia today on a transcontinental
tour in an automobile from New York
to San Francisco.
Mrs. Putnam is writing a story of jliis
tonr Cm- Ihe Saturday Evening Post. It
is fcer opinion that Ihe continued scare mfou lhm. annex dormitories are .
about reds and boUhevism is unfounded f;ng uaed ; .ddition , ,le ,; (,uii,i.

do1 all the talking while the average ( by the members of the Y. W. C A. Fri-
American does not say anything to
counteract that talk.
"We are all so busy taking care of
our own affairs that we do not take
time to get up on our hlna legs and
talk the other side of the question,"
she said. "Thus far my trip has been!
a pleasant surprise. I hare found noth.
ing but the highest sentiments and
ideals of Americanism expressed in the
places 1 have visited.
"The small towns of tin middle west
are wonderful. You know I feel as if
I were juit now seeing the real Amr
ica." Mrs. Putnam remarked that the peo
ple of the East generally spoke of the
Middle West in small letters. She was
surprised to End the small towns of
four or five thousand population having
paved streets, electric lights and water
systems. This is her first tour across
the continent in an automobile. All of
her other trips were by train. She
spoke of Paris. Ilk. St- Charles, Mo and
Columbia as being the most beautiful
small towns she had sees.
"We have nothing like them In the
East," she said.
Mrs. Putnam spoke in glowing terms
of the people she had 'met, the experi
ences she had on the country road on
ber tour, and of the surprising thingstlInl, .here is much better hope for fill-

Mrs. Putnam appears to be a rather
tnagnetic, aggressive type of woman.
ready to talk, full of wit and rapid fire

The DeMolay fraternity entertained
their prospective members, the members
of the Acacia fraternity and a few Co-
, lumbia Masons at a smoker in the Acacia
Lodge No. 602 last night.
Dr. John Pickard, professor of classical
archaeology and history of art. acted as
master of ceremonies and spoke on the
history of the DeMolay fraternity, iu
ideals and its future In the University
of Missouri.
Speeches were also made by J. A.
Oliver, deputy grand master, who is on
the counsel board fostering the DeMolay
organization in this city, and Superin
tendent of Schools W I. Oliver.
The program was completed by a
reading by William Pollard and a box
ing bout -between "Kid" Huckrtt and
"Sailor" Boldry. Referee K. P. Van Ice
called the match a draw after three fast
rounds.
The DeMolay fraternity is one of the
youngest organizations connected with
the University. It was organized in Kan
sas Gty. about a year ago and has rapid
ly spread over the country. It was form
ed by and each chapter is sponsored by,
some'Mawnie lodge. Royal Arch Chap
ter No. 17 of Columbia is responsible
for the chapter which is being organized
in this city, and it is to a great extent
doe to the personal afforts of Doctor
Pickard that a branch has been estab
lished here.
There are about forty members of the
DeMolay in school here and as soon as
the charter arrives a large class wilt be
initiated. Any son of a Master Mason
between the ages of 16 and 21 and their
chums are eligible to membership.
Chapter, are bemj organized at the
University of Kansa, and at the Unlver.
sity of Nebraska.
