What you’re looking at
This page contains early-1920s satirical humor targeting contemporary figures and trends. **Top cartoon:** A cloth manufacturer complains about women's scanty modern fashions; his companion quips that men's clothing is equally sparse—a jab at both Jazz Age fashion liberalization and gender role changes. **"Rah! Rah! Rah!"** section: Parodies college cheering by creating mock "yells" for various 1920s types—crossword puzzle enthusiasts, chorus girls, bootleggers (Prohibition-era illegal alcohol dealers), and notably political figures: Will Hays (film censor), Calvin Coolidge (president), and Charles Dawes (vice president). The jokes play on wordplay and current events (Prohibition, film censorship). **"Round Trip"** section: Two brief jokes—one about honeymoons as "excursion trips" (mocking modern attitudes toward marriage), another suggesting a wealthy car owner is a "walking delegate" (likely a labor union reference). **Bottom cartoon:** Shows someone helping another across a puddle, captioned "Sir Walter Raleigh, to date"—a nostalgic jab at modern chivalry's decline. Overall, the page satirizes 1920s modernization, politics, and social change.
