# Life Magazine Page 505 Analysis This page announces winners of Life's "Pegasus" Contest, selecting a sentence from Tennyson's poem "Maud" to accompany a picture. The contest received 5,065 coupons distributed across six publications. The upper illustration shows a Victorian-era couple in a romantic scene, with the caption quoting "Maud": "And Maud, too, Maud was moved / To speak of the mother she loved." The lower cartoon labeled "AND HE DID" depicts a figure in what appears to be a satirical scene, though its specific meaning is unclear from context alone. The "Humanity" article discusses Red Cross relief efforts during wartime, referencing Miss Barton and distribution of food supplies to war-affected regions, though specific dates or conflicts aren't stated.
