This page is primarily **advertising and announcements**, not satirical political cartoons. The main content features: 1. **"With the College Wits"** — A humor column collecting jokes from college publications (Record, Gargoyle, Chaparral, etc.). These are mild jokes about student life: a swimmer who doesn't retrieve his clothes, chemistry ignorance, chiropody school failures, and automotive mishaps. The humor relies on simple wordplay and absurdist situations rather than social commentary. 2. **Advertisements** — Prominent ads for Crème Yvette liqueur, banking services, sexology books, and patent services dominate the page. 3. **Leslie's Magazine announcement** — A significant sidebar announces war photographer Donald Thompson's return from the Italian front with photographs and shrapnel wounds, plus an article on immigrant millionaire Jacob Schiff. **For modern readers:** This reflects WWI-era college humor (light, pun-based) and demonstrates how magazines of this period integrated editorial content with heavy advertising. The Thompson announcement shows contemporary interest in firsthand war documentation.

Besides the war photos and Leslie’s usual features the August 31st issue con- tains the third article in B. C.
