Shreveport, La Jan 4 Tuesday After breakfast packed up, and then called on Mr. J.L. Iry of the Palmer Corporation. See notes on separate sheet. Had lunch with Spooner, Teas, and others. C.L. Moody of Ohio City Co was present, is a graduate of Univ. of Cal. and a critic of women in geology. Then visited Mr. Iry's home with Spooner, when I went back to the hotel to get ready for the evening lecture. At 9.30 P.M. lectured in City Hall in a smaller room to about 40 girl girls in the Defense corps. Everyone was deeply interested, and about ten came forward to thank me for the lecture.
