The Great Interpreter Those words epitomize the mission of maga- zines as we in the mag- azine business see it— to take note of events as they pass and, after they have passed, to weigh their meaning and importance, and thoughtfully to inter- pret them to the peo- ple. That carries with it, also, the quality of discrimination. Maga- zines are not hurried to press. There is time for both discrimination as to what is worth careful consideration, and for thoughtful in- terpretation. It is in this way that the magazines have earned their place in the homes of America; thus they have taken their part in the ad- vancement of national life. Not by interpretation of news events only, but by interpretation, as well, of life in gen- eral. For years the magazines have given PERIODICAL FIFTH AVEN PUBLISHERS’ (ADVERTISING NEW YORK CITY to America: (1) the best of the world’s fic- tion; (2) they have developed and popu- larized the distinctiv American short story; (3) their interpretation of current affairs has kept up-to-date thou- sands of busy men and women; (4) and all the time they have worked for the Ameri- can home—along help- ful lines of health, pure food, labor-saving de- vices, and have even campaigned | succ fully for better babies. It is upon this univer- sal service to the Amer- ican people that the magazine business has been built up. It is upon this firm founda- tion that Magazine Ad- vertising stands and from which it offers a service in publicity which is incomparable.

Vandever, Merritt Watson and others, of the Rotary Club, the Humorists were entertained by that lively organization at Luncheon in the Ball Room of the McAlpin. Here there was merriment for an hour and a half, Presidents Vandever and Wal- dron sharing directing responsibility. During this time, and somewhat later, the ladies of the convention were entertained at the great bakery of the National Biscuit Company on Tenth Avenue. In the evening the annual dinner was happily negotiated, with aid-digesting verbalism, at the Mc- Alpin, seventy-one covers being laid. At one o'clock on Friday C. B. Alexander tendered the Humorists a luncheon at the house of the National Democratic Club on Fifth Avenue, politics being taboo. Host and guests were pleased beyond measure during the brief period of this function. At the same time the ladies of the convention were entertained by Managing Director Boomer, of the Mc- Alpin, with a luncheon which they described as “heavenly,” Assistant Manager Elbert presiding. These affairs over, the Humorists and their fair | companions met and proceeded to Coney Island, where the wonders of Luna and Steeplechase Parks were disclosed. Saturday was devoted to rest, happy commingling, and departures. Among those who enjoyed all or parts of the weck’s programme were Mr. and Mes.

EGG VIEW NOTES INK NITZ’S dog, who lost his tail in a railroad accident the other day, has been going around all corners on low speed ever since. The road-end to the schoolhouse needs a thorough looking-after at once, it having been completely burnt off Saturday night while a two-man traveling moving-picture show was going on inside. The production was a very strong and thrilling one, called “Nora, the Drayman’s Niece,” and proved to be unusually exciting up until about half way through the second reel. An ugly-acting party with a stiff black mustache on had just got a good hold on Nora's throat, with both hands, and was exerting himself a great deal trying to choke her into thinking a lot of him, when suddenly the picture-machine started to blazing, and soon went up in smoke, to be followed a bit later by part of the building. Immediately a mad rush was made by everybody towards the show-owncr, to crowd closely round him and sharply demand their ten cents back. He wouldn’t do nothing only tell them how Nora come it on the villain in the end. —Leslie Van Every. Signs of the Times The house-cleaning fever had invaded the lower regions, until Satan himself, who was ordi y proof against temptation, fell for it. “There is that old sign, ‘All hope abandon, ye who enter here;’ I ought to have something more up-to-date,” he said. “Ah, I have it!” The next day new arrivals beheld over the doorway these familiar words: “Made in Germany.” Mixed Spices She—Why don’t these troops display more ginger? He—Why, you see, they were so lately mustered. comicbooks.com | | | | |
