What you’re looking at
The page contains a political cartoon and advertisements from an early 20th-century *Life* magazine. **The Cartoon ("Protective Coloring"):** The image shows a bird or small creature camouflaged against a landscape. The caption reads: "As for you, children, you'll have to rely upon your protective coloring." This is satirizing how civilians during wartime must adapt and hide—a commentary on WWI's impact on civilian life. The "protective coloring" is a metaphor for camouflage, suggesting that ordinary people must blend in or disguise themselves to survive conflict. **Page Context:** The "War and Investment" advertisement above references how the current conflict (likely WWI) affects stock markets and securities, encouraging readers to invest wisely using statistical analysis rather than rumors. The rest of the page contains a book review of *A Knight on Wheels* by Ian Hay, and beauty advertisements for Woodbury's Facial Soap—typical commercial content of the era.

CANTON, OHIO LIFE Rhymed Reviews A Knight on Wheels (By lan Hay. Houghton Mifflin Co.) XCUSE me, Book! Upon the shelf You stood, besceching me to heed you For weeks before I shook myself And sternly settled down to read you,— To find you full of quips and jokes And fancies thick as morning-glories, And_ perfectly enchanting folks With pleasant, interweaving stories. For there is Philip, first,—by far The knightliest of engine-planners That ever ran a motor-car And played with spark-plugs, bolts and spanners. So shy, so kind, so full of strength In frame and moral underpinning— I’m glad he won his Pegs at length; She seemed uncommon worth the winning. And Uncle Joseph, too, is good: He held that women all are blighters, This altruistic Robin Hood Of bogus begging-letter-writers. Through false and maudlin pleas he gained Largess from those whose heads were sappy, But used the funds he thus obtained In making needy people happy. And then there's Tim, the trifler gay; And Brand, the Anarchist hor- rendous ; And Mablethorpe (or Mr. Hay?).— Oh, novels come in floods stu- pendous ; And lots are green as chlorophyll Or colorless as protoplasm ; But this is one that wakes a thrill Of genuine enthusiasm.

There are a great many, for example, who feel that the twilight sleep has no reason for existence. Let these skeptics now hide their diminished heads. The twilight sleep is the real thing. Its reason is justified. Read this statement by a high medical authority, in the Medical Record, who says: Dr. Kenneth F. Junor, of Brooklyn, “ Twilight sleep requires a more continuous presence of the attending physician.” We trust this will settle the question once and for all of the permanent value of the twilight sleep.
