Thursday, June 26, 1919 THE DAILY IOWAN, STATE UNIVERSITY OF IOWA PAGE THREE EDITOR OF WOMEN'S MAGAZINE TELLS OF INTERESTING EXPERIENCES She was the first woman in Texas to ride in an airplane. As a bum she started to France working her way from city to city as a stenographer, [illegible], and newspaper reporter. She jolted up the main street of Waco, Texas one day astride an elephant as a part of a circus parade. These are several of the experiences of Anne Austin, or Mrs. W. Benson, who is attending the conference for women now in session here. She related them in a breezy, off-hand manner to students in the journalism classes yesterday morning. Miss Austin, or Mrs. Benson, as you will, is editor of the Peoples Popular monthly, a magazine with a circulation of several hundred thousand. Erstwhile she was feature writer on the Kansas City Post and occupied the same position on a Waco, Texas paper. Two years ago Anne Austin was a teacher of fifth, sixth, and seventh grades in a small town Texas school at $55 a month. Eighteen months hence she was the highest paid person on the editorial staff of the Kansas City paper below the managing editor. She has written four novels which have been published in newspapers and wrote for her paper such a fascinating account of Margaret Wilson's visit to her Texas city that Miss Wilson has given her repeated invitations to the White house. Anne Austin is her pen name, wished upon her when her first day in the newspaper office she blazed forth with a front page feature on a style show which demanded a signature. Although Mrs. Benson has with her a precocious daughter, Elizabeth, she is known as Miss Austin. Little Elizabeth at five years old can be seen most any day sitting in some window in the liberal arts building chuckling over jokes in a huge volume which would tax the ordinary twelve-year-old youngster. Binet-Simon tests given little Miss Elizabeth at the University show her to be as far advanced mentally as the normal child of more than 10 years. Miss Austin is attending the women's conference in the interests of her magazine. She is getting ideas on the latest scientific work affecting the problems of the home. The Peoples Popular Monthly is said to be one of the most successful women's magazines published in the Middle West from both an editorial and financial standpoint.
