This page combines commentary on women's roles with corporate advertising. **"Woman and the Pulpit"** satirizes the Church of England's debate over whether women could preach during religious services. The author (Oreola W. Haskell) mocks the male clergy's restriction of women speakers to non-pulpit roles, questioning why women's "spiritual qualities" should be excluded from the most appropriate venues for religious expression. The joke hinges on domestic irony: men have endured feminine lectures at home and now wish to escape the "masculine note" in church. **"A New Power"** celebrates women's emerging involvement in wireless radio operation—then cutting-edge technology. It highlights suffragists using radio to campaign, and young women becoming professional operators and mechanics, mocking conservative resistance to female technological participation. **"Loyal to the Service"** is an American Telephone and Telegraph Company advertisement featuring a photo of telephone workers. It emphasizes employee loyalty, public service, and worker welfare benefits—essentially corporate propaganda about labor relations. The page reflects 1920s debates: women's expanding public roles (religious participation, technology, voting) versus traditional restrictions.

Unless perchance theexplanation be that having been lectured for his sins so much in the domestic precincts by feminine voices, man, for the sake of ge, yearns for the masculine note in admonitions to walk the straight and narrow path. A New Power VEN gentlemen on the high seas far from the haunts of the mass meeting, the stump speech, the canvass and the circular need not hope to escape the sedulous siiragist. This was demonstrated in the New York State suff campaign when Mr. Alexander M. zic of Yonkers ily flashed wireless votes for women nesages four hundred miles into space, aod impersonating the Statue of Liberty, sat out crisp and pungent arguments essed to unseen auditors. But Mrs nzie is unique only in the object for shich she uses this power of radio operating. All over the United States girls and women are devoting themselves to the study: of the fascinating wireless apparatus. — Rafael, ‘alifornia, boasts a fifteen-year-old — miss to is not only an expert operator but a nechanician also.
