What you’re looking at

This page contains primarily **advertisements and literary content**, not political satire. The main items are: 1. **Red Cedar Chest ad** (top): Promotes moth-proof storage chests, offering a 15-day trial. Standard consumer advertising. 2. **"The Literary Zoo"** (left column): A literary essay continuing from page 406, discussing Henry James's writing style and its soporific effect on readers. The author (W.T. Larned) makes a joke about needing "eternity" to read James properly. 3. **Fox Anti-Skid Chains ad** (dominant right side): Technical product advertisement with detailed diagrams explaining why the chain design prevents tire damage. The numbered illustrations show cross-sections of how the flat links contact the tire safely without cutting rubber. 4. **Rad-Bridge card game ad** (bottom left): Brief advertisement for Easter-themed playing cards. There is **no political cartoon or satire** on this page. It represents a typical early 20th-century magazine layout mixing editorial content with commercial advertisements.

Sleep The steady demand at the public li- braries for the Rev. Lyman P. Powell’s comforting little book, The Art of Nat- ural Sleep, seems to indicate that despite the voluminous output of somnolent lit- crature in sundry forms insomnia is still a national nuisance. In New England, however, but more particularly in Bos- ton, where the alarming spread of sleep- lessness. among children had excited grave apprehensions, soothing syrup, we (Continued on page 408) The Literary Zoo (Continued from page 406) the perusal affected us, until we sud- denly came to. Who can read Henry James without succumbing to the in- fluence of his style? Js there a life after death? We hope so. One needs not time, but eternity, would he read aright the lesson of the master, con- veyed in his later manner—especially when he forsakes his métier, and es- says to pull off the job of his profes- sorial brother William.

'3.—This side of the chain comes against the road. Note the square gripping ‘4.—Note how the link of the chain which passes through another link is inside a little box at the point of contact so that this angle cannot touch thie tire nor be broken by striking stones. X CHAINS are made of flat links of steel stamped from specially manufac- tured tool steel. These links are bent and interlocked making broad bands, flat on one side but with small square projections on the other side. The flat side goes against your tire, where it rests closely and as harm- lessly as a piece of tire tape. The flat connec- tions between the links could do the tire no harm even if they touched it, but they can’t touch it because they are a considerable space distant, and curving away and upwards to the inter- locking point. Nothing except a broad, flat, absolutely smooth metal surface touches the tire and it is absolutely impossible for this to cut the tire or even to bruise the rubber any more than a thin four-inch band of steel would if it were carefully fitted around the shoe.
