**Top Section:** Features Georgia Cayvan, an actress, with a nostalgic joke about her former role in "The Wife." **Middle Cartoon:** A domestic humor strip depicting siblings discussing their sister Ruth's dental problems—she removes her false teeth at night but reinserts them each morning. This mocks the vanity of maintaining appearances. **Bottom Cartoon:** "A Submarine Celebration" depicts an underwater scene with naval vessels and a banner reading "WE WERE WITH DEWEY AT MANILA," referencing Admiral George Dewey's 1898 victory in the Spanish-American War. The caption "Dewey day at the bottom of the sea" appears to be dark humor—likely satirizing either excessive patriotic commemoration or, possibly, celebrating enemy ships sunk during that battle lying on the ocean floor. The American flag and celebratory imagery suggest this mocks jingoistic nationalism or military excess following the war.
