Mrs. Putnam Senting to the intrep-
i'd young woman the
gold medal of the city, while others
loaded her down with roses. In Bry-
ant park she received the cross of
honor of the United States Flag as
ISOLATION. Next day Mrs. Putnam
flew to Washington, where President
Hoover received her and presented to
her the medal of the National Geo
graphic society. Toward the close of
the week she was in Chicago as a
guest at the Washington bicentennial
military tournament.
Through it all Mrs. Putnam won in
creased admiration by her modesty
and her futile efforts to belittle her
achievement. She blushed deeply
when Mr.. Hoover said that she de-
served to be placed in spirit with the
great pioneering women to whom ev-
cry generation of Americans has
looked up to with admiration"

money to balance the budget, the
measure still fell between $100,000.00O
and $200,000O00 short of the savings
needed for the balancing of next
years budget. The size OF the gap
depended mainly on reductions to he
made in the department supply bills
that were still before congress.
