This page mixes editorial content with advertising. The main cartoon depicts children viewing an automobile, with the caption joking that the car must have been "taught to run when it was too young"—likely satirizing either poorly engineered automobiles or reckless driving by inexperienced operators, a contemporary concern as cars were relatively new. The central text excerpt continues a serialized story involving King Arthur in modern dress, playing poker and fighting—a humorous anachronism mixing medieval legend with contemporary life. The dominant content is advertising: a Hotel Lincoln ad and a multi-panel **Hinds Cream** shaving product campaign. The cream's tagline—"Shave your face but save your skin"—emphasizes gentleness. The accompanying verse mocks men's complaints about shaving while positioning the product as a solution, using gendered humor typical of 1920s advertising. The "Dizzy Ladies" joke references women's speech patterns.

Clad in his regal B. V. D.s, his majesty did play a wicked game. His clothes, of course, did not come back till night, for it doth take a black- smith all day long to press a suit of armour.
