This page mixes humor columns with advertisements. The "With the College Wits" section features brief satirical jokes attributed to various college humor publications: **"Communism"** jokes about Bolsheviks and toothbrush rationing—likely referencing contemporary Red Scare anxieties following the 1917 Russian Revolution, still fresh in American minds. **"A Modern Drama"** appears to be a melodramatic sketch about forged/filed papers at a blacksmith shop—unclear what specific scandal this parodies. **"A Swift Kid"** mocks a wealthy Bryn Mawr student who bribes a judge with a cigar after a traffic violation, satirizing class privilege and judicial corruption. **"Pretty Soft"** is a simple office prank joke about manipulating calendars. **"Bargain Hunting"** makes a crude joke equating women's suffrage (recently won in 1920) with commodities being purchased—reflecting anti-feminist sentiment. The page is primarily filled with product advertisements (W.L. Douglas shoes, Old Town Canoes, Brooks' Rupture Appliance, Gorlez Cigars, and a press clipping bureau), typical of magazine revenue sources.
