This page mixes editorial commentary with advertising. The top cartoon shows a rabbit advising an old man to "think it over" because "circumstances alter cases"—a gentle moral about flexibility versus rigid rules. The text below discusses Chicago School Superintendent Ella Flagg Young's policy allowing married female teachers two-year maternity leaves, with discretionary shortening by administrators. The piece argues sympathetic judgment should govern such matters rather than inflexible rules—echoing the cartoon's theme. The Hamilton Watch advertisement dominates the right side, emphasizing railroad workers' reliance on this brand for precision timekeeping. It features testimonials from actual railroad conductors and engineers. Additional content includes brief humor (a Seattle Post-Intelligencer joke about women summoned for jury duty worrying about wardrobe), travel advertising for Holland, and a philosophy column mocking people who talk incessantly without pausing. The page reflects early 1900s concerns: women's workplace rights, industrial safety standards, and social etiquette.

Bunny: THINK IT OVER, OLD CIRCUMSTANCES ALTER CASES MAN; | Mrs. Young Knows [8 the Sunday World of March 1st, School Superintendent Ella Flagg Young, of Chicago, said ina short space j about all that is necessary to say about Motherhood for Teachers. There are } about a thousand married teachers in : the Chicago public schools. When one of them has a baby, the practice is that ) she shall take two years off. But the 7 say about that seems to be left to the : superintendent, who can shorten the . time in case of need. That is how it should be. Some per- son of judgment and sympathy should settle questions about the service of the married teachers. It cannot prop- erly be done by statute or any rigid rule. “ Mapex, I'm drawn on the grand jury.” So am I, Gertrude.” “Our responsibilities will be heavy.” “T realize that.

Protect all Mea ete yet gat Oat Chor Mean NDOLPH & CO., Patent attersers, Dept, Rawulton Patch “The Railroad Timekeeper of America” For thinness, for beauty, for durability, the Hamilton Watch will com- pare to advantage with any watch in your jeweler’s trays. The Hamilton 12-size is the thinnest 12-size 19, 21 or 23 jewel watch made in America. For accuracy, the Hamilton has a record that is enviable indeed, for while accuracy is something you admire and desire, it is something the railroad man must have. Accuracy is the one consideration that governs the choice of the “‘Limited’s’? engineer who must locate a signal every 30 seconds. Think what a wonderful tribute to the accuracy of this watch is the fact that Over one-half (56%) of the Railroad Men on American Railroads where Official Time Inspection is maintained carry the Hamilton Watch Begin to talk accuracy to your jeweler and he will begin to talk Hamilton Watch to you. . Write for the Hamilton Book—“The Timekeeper”” It pictures and describes the various models of the Hamilton Watch for men and wromen-showing the complete watches selling at $38.50 to $150.00 and other Hamilton mod: i ts s sold, Your jewelet eax Bt on HAMILTON WATCH COMPANY only are sold, Your jeweler can fit one of these Hamilton movements in your Dept.

When you study a master- R piece, you realize that it must have been only an incident in the artist's work. He could always have done more than that. eee The best immaterial thing which an over-abundance of natural resources has been able to produce is the steam-heated mind. The steam-heated mind catches cold from fresh air, is over-coddled, and when out of doors reclines in a limousine atmosphere. eee I have a friend who occasionally emits intelligence. But when he talks he never comes to a pause; he ricochets off from the last word of a sentence and starts another before I have time to collect my senses. There are no periods in his mind; he is, therefore, about as companionable as a pestilence. comicbooks.com LY hES he Lok ky
