This page contains primarily **advertisements** rather than political cartoons. The main content is a Wrigley's Spearmint Gum ad announcing a packaging change—the product now sells "by the box" (85 cents) instead of "by the package." The ad features multiple illustrated faces of men and women, likely representing various consumer demographics. A secondary item discusses **Mrs. Harry Payne Whitney's design** for a Women's Titanic Memorial in Washington, D.C. The text explains competition rules restricted entries to women sculptors, with specific size and jury requirements. The **Valentine's Oriental Store** ad promotes an ash receiver priced at one dollar. The page is historically notable mainly for documenting early 20th-century consumer marketing strategies and product distribution changes.

The competition for the design of this memorial was restricted to women sculptors, but women who were mem- bers of the National Sculpture Society could not enter it, because the rules of that society forbid its members to com- Pete unless the size of the model is fixed, the site announced, and the award left to a jury of artists. We read that the jury that accepted Mrs. Whitney’s design was composed of Mrs. John Hays Hammond, Mrs. Payne Whitney and Mrs. John Hay, none of them artists, or recognized ex- perts, so far as known. If this memo rial is a private matter, it is no affair of the public who the jurors were, but when application is made to Congress for a site it ceases to be private. It would seem that the facies in charge should institute a new competi- tion, under the National Sculpture Society's rules. licious, long lasting, extremely beneficial.
