This page contains three separate satirical items from *Life* magazine: 1. **"The Holocaust"** (top): A poem about a heated domestic quarrel. The illustration shows a couple in conflict—the woman's anger is so intense it's described in violent, inflammatory language ("Her eyes leaped into a blaze of wrath"). The satire mocks domestic marital conflict by using apocalyptic language. 2. **"That 'Ananias Club'"** (middle): Political satire targeting Mr. Hearst, a newspaper publisher, accusing him and competing papers (the *Times*, *Sun*, *Post*) of dishonest reporting. "Ananias Club" references biblical lies. 3. **"Redskin Philosophy"** (bottom): Brief humorous verses about Old-Fingers picking a bud, offering folk-wisdom observations. The page satirizes marriage conflict, press dishonesty, and includes light humor.

That “Ananias Club” F COURSE, we all know—those of us who read the respectable New York dailies—that Mr. Hearst is a bad, naughty man and publishes unrespect- able newspapers. But there is a strong impression in this community, even among enemies of Mr. Hearst, that for lying, flat-footed, maliciou istent pei and dignified lying, the “respectable” dailies have beaten him hollow. Mr. Hearst, competing as a liar with the Times, the Sun and the Post, in this recent campaign, seemed an inexperi- enced groper after Truth. In calling his opponents the “Ananias Club” he ma- ligned Ananias. For there must have been some degrees of malevolent false- hood at which Ananias would have balked. And so the awful suspicion creeps in upon us that if they lied about Hearst they may have lied in their praises of the saintly Hughes. Then where, indeed, shall we look for salvation?
