What you’re looking at
This page contains three short humorous pieces and advertisements rather than political cartoons. **"College Girl English"** satirizes how newly graduated college women adopt affected speech patterns—using phrases like "magnificently marvelous" and "ripping"—to signal their education and sophistication, which the author finds both amusing and somewhat pretentious. **"Fixing the Light"** is a brief romantic joke: a suitor asks the girl's brother to dim the gas lamp during his visit, but the sister has already instructed the boy to turn it *off* entirely, indicating she's more eager to be alone with him than he realizes. **"The Burglar's Card"** references the contemporary fad phrase "Everybody's Doin' It" (a 1909 popular song), sardonically suggesting that even burglars are participating in the trend by leaving calling cards at crime scenes. The page is primarily advertising real estate and Schlitz beer, emphasizing brown bottles to protect beer from light exposure.

And then they conversed gently on various topics in the same breezy, lucid verbiage. Fixing the Light. Mr. Briggs called one evening to see his sweetheart, and her little brother, Tom, was entertaining him until the young woman came down. “Tom, when your sister comes down and is comfortably seated on the couch with me, I want you to tiptoe in softly and turn the gas down low, will you?” “You're too late,’’ replied the boy. “Sister just told me to come in and turn it out.’” The Burglar’s Card. The capital of one of the middle Western States was in the throes of a burglar epidemic. Robberies were be- ing committed every day and the police seemed powerless to stop them. The climax was reached when, after a usual late run to a house that had been robbed, the police found a card that the burglar had left and upon which he had scrawled: “Everybody's Doin’ It."’ querist. “Two Out,” or, Rather, In for It. The baseball player was not ac- quainted with the society editor of his favorite paper, and so he telephoned to the sporting editor after his marriage, asking him to say something about the happy event.
