This page contains satirical commentary on contemporary social issues, primarily focused on **women's smoking** and gender relations. The main article "As Regards Women Who Smoke" by Sherwood Rollins discusses the growing controversy over female smoking during the women's liberation era. The piece mocks both sexes: men resenting women's intrusion into "his sanctuary" while being relegated to the woodshed, and women who affectedly smoke without genuine enjoyment, holding cigarettes "like a noisome insect." The satire suggests that actual women smokers who enjoy tobacco without pretense escape male criticism. Supporting humor includes domestic jokes about marriage ("Money is very tight just now") and jokes about modernization (spouses installing periscopes instead of removing spite fences during their conflict). Poems mock military hierarchy ("The General") and expose hypocrisy through fable—a skillful liar escapes detection while a clumsy truthful man gets branded "Confirmed Liar." The page reflects 1910s-1920s anxieties about rapidly changing gender roles and women's increasing social independence.

WANTED—AN IDEA! hing to pat As Regards Women Who Smoke By Suxxwoop Roitins wir do men object to seeing women smo) Of course some do and some don’t; but there seems to be a certain amount of public opinion against this indulgence on their part. This new era represents the uplift of women, and mere man is relegated to the woodshed, there to enjoy his pipe of comfort, while his wife holds forth to the Current Events Society, pickets public officials, and canvasses the business dis- tricts for votes. Indeed, man is lucky to be consigned to the woodshed rather than the nursery. Nevertheless man still clings to his Nicotine Goddess, and resents the intrusion of the female into his sanctuary. Yet the average broad-minded man en- joys company even while smoking, and if a woman can smoke with apparent enjoy- ment he does not object. What disgusts the male is the sight of some coy young thing in a restaurant, holding her cigar- ette like a noisome insect, smoking with all the delight of a child in the dentist’s chair. The tobacco barely touches her lips before it is dashed away, and the piti- ful little puff is ejected before it penetrates her smile. The woman who smokes for the actual pleasure derived and without ostentation is fairly sure to escape criticism. The General By Raven M, Tuowsox i time of peace, when plaudit-swayed, here are no foes to hunt, And all the troops are on parade, The general rides in front. In time of war, when shot and shell Fall dangerously near, And all the troops are braving hell, His place is in the rear. Of course no patriot would fling Aspersions at him, pal; But it is such a splendid thing To be a general. A Half-Minute Fable ONCE there were two men. One was exceedingly truthful, and_ therefore. when a lie was necessary, he told clumsy lies. The other lied often, and from practise lied skilfully. Because the clumsy one’s infrequent lies were always discovered, he was called a Confirmed Liar. But the skilful liar, being too clever to be caught, was esteemed as the Soul of Truth. Mora: Don’t Lie. But if you must make it a practise, why, make it a practise. Mayor Hylan, of New York, insists that all city employees shall report bright and early—or early, anyhow.
