This page mixes editorial commentary with advertisements. The left column continues a letter to Robert Herrick discussing women's labor and social roles—arguing women have always worked and will continue to do so, adjusting to whatever economic shifts occur. It's presented as a practical, unsentimental view of female employment. The main advertisement promotes the "Kenney Needle Shower," a spray attachment for bathtubs designed to help people cope with summer heat. It offers a 10-day free trial with no upfront cost, costing only $6 if kept—framed as an affordable alternative to expensive seaside vacations. The cartoon at bottom shows two puppies, captioned "Pup: he couldn't ever bite me with that one tooth"—a simple joke about a puppy's inability to bite effectively with minimal teeth. The page also advertises Odo-Ro-No deodorant and other products typical of 1920s hygiene marketing.

Their job has shifted a good deal in the last two generations, and left too many of them out of employment, and they are gradually adjusting themselves to the shift. The adjustment is natural, at least it is necessary, and will have to go on whether it disturbs the feelings and standards. of old-fashioned pev- ple or not. All that contemporary parents of girls can do is to try to qualify their daughters betimes to hold their own in whatever kind of a world is making, so that if they don’t marry they can make life interesting on their own hook, and if they do marry and have to support families they can do it to advantage. ] SEE lots of girls and women work- ing out and working very well, but not many married women, especially mothers with young children.

Your late fellow-citizen, Floyd Dell, writes in The Masses about the Eman- cipation of Man which is coming, along of Feminism, because women are all to be sclf-supporters, and mothers are to be pensioned, and men, having no one dependent on them, will all be “free” and able to quit their jobs at a moment’s notice whenever “capitalism” needs a lesson. Well, maybe; but I wonder, Mr. Herrick, if you are as advanced as Mr. Floyd Dell? These noises that Mr. Dell makes—how do they strike you? After you have agreed with two- fifths of them, maybe, or three, what about the other fifths? Do they strike you as noises made by real brains, or by bats in Mr. Dell's illustrious belfry ? Good luck, Mr. Herrick! Edward S. Martin, HE COULDN'T EVER BITE ME WITH THAT ONE TOOTH comicbooks.com
