This page combines advertisements with editorial commentary on a notable public figure's return to prominence. **Main Content:** The editorial "Where is Dooley?" discusses the anticipated return of Mr. Dooley—a fictional Irish-American character known for satirical social commentary—to writing in the *Tribune* newspaper following World War I. The author argues that post-war America needs Dooley's humorous perspective on serious matters like the Peace Council and the Saloon League, noting that "the laughter of a wise man" is valuable during times of bitterness and contention. **Visual Elements:** The page features two advertisements—one for Pantasote automobile interiors (showing a luxury car near a castle) and one for Whiting-Adams hair brushes. A small cartoon labeled "Open Sundays" appears at bottom left but is too small to read clearly. **Context:** Mr. Dooley was a popular satirical character created by journalist Finley Peter Dunne, whose witty observations on American life and politics made him influential in early 20th-century journalism.
