What you’re looking at
This page is primarily **advertising and filler content** rather than political satire. The main elements are: **"The Live Wire"** features two portrait illustrations of attractive young women by artist Rolf Armstrong, offered as decorative prints (50¢ for both or 25¢ each)—typical pin-up style content from this era. **"Wit and Wisdom of Children"** is a humor column collecting anecdotes about children's innocent misunderstandings, sourced from newspapers and magazines. These showcase period attitudes: a boy calling his grandmother "toothless," a girl attributing her dress-making to her mother, and a servant boy's naive prayer logic. The humor relies on children's literalism and class/racial stereotypes acceptable at the time. **Advertisements** dominate the right side: Evans Ale (claiming 127 years of popularity), a "Sexology" instructional book, Hotel Arlington, and a cigarette lighter. The page reflects early-20th-century magazine conventions: mixing light humor, cheesecake imagery, and commercial ads with no overtly political commentary.

(2 1w00e The Live Wire These two pretty girls for 50c or either one for 25c They make a fine dec- oration for your room By ROLF ARMSTRONG in full color, 9 x 12, double mounted on heavy brown mat, Ix 14 (0) wove The humorist wrote him this an- swer and printed it: “Old Subscriber—Finding a spider in your paper was neither good luck nor bad luck for you. The spider was merely looking over our paper to see which mer- chant is not advertising, so that he can go to that store, spin his web across the door, and lead a life of undisturbed peace ever afterward.’’—Pittsburgh Chronicle- Telegraph. Wit and Wisdom of Children (From newspapers and magazines 25 years ago.) “Can you give me an example of a toothless animal of the mammalian group?” asked a teacher of a small boy in the class in zoology. “Yes, sir,"* said the boy promptly. “Indeed! What is it?” “My grandma !"’—-Boston Globe. A little boy of six, when saying his prayers at night, entreated a blessing on his aunt, who was lying dangerously ill, and gravely concluded with: ‘‘My aunt lives in the Calle de Alcala, No. 33, second floor to the left.’'—Madrid El Liberal. “*What did Noah live on when the flood had subsided and his provisions in the ark were exhausted?’’ asked a Washington Sunday-school teacher of her class. “TL know,’’ squeaked a little girl after the others had given up. “Well, what?’ inquired the teacher. “Dry land.’’—Washington Star. A clergyman, having called up a class of girls and boys, began on one of the former in these words: ‘‘My dear child, tell me whu made your body."" She had no idea of the question apply- ing to anything beyond her dress, and, dropping a quick courtesy, replied, “Please, sir, mother made the body, but I made the skirt."’—Texas Siftings. A mother was giving her child, a boy of seven years, some Bible instruction. She was telling him the story of Adam’s fall. Having narrated the tale of the apple and what mischief it did, the mother asked, ‘‘Now, don’t you think Adam did very wrong to eat the apple?” The little fellow thought a moment, and then answered, ‘‘Mamma, would it have been polite to refuse the apple when the lady offered it to him?’’— Buffalo Courier. A friend of the Listener had a little colored servant boy whom he had brought from the Bahama Islands, and who had been reared, so far as he had been reared at all, in the simplicity of primitive Methodism. The small colored boy wanted a jackknife very much and was overheard one night praying for one very earnestly. His master went to town next day, and on his return in the evening there was a jackknife laid on the boy's window. The boy discovered the knife promptly enough in the morning, examined it eagerly, and exclaimed softly, with an air of condem- nation of his own stupidity, ‘‘Why didn’t I pray the Lord for a two-bladed one?” —Boston Transcript. True—‘‘There are so many things that should be left unsaid,’’ observed the pro- fessor. “Yes; but so few of them are.’’— Buffalo Express.
