What you’re looking at
This page contains two distinct editorial sections plus advertising. **"The Crying Need"** is a humorous opinion column criticizing the standardized golf ball. The writer argues that while the invention fails to deliver promised benefits, the real problem is players losing too many balls daily. The piece sarcastically suggests inventing a golf ball that plays music when lost—a joke highlighting the absurdity of losing equipment constantly. **"How About It?"** is a letter from "A Woman Voter" challenging organized labor on child labor. She points out the apparent hypocrisy: labor unions claim to oppose child exploitation as a "crying evil," yet haven't actually stopped it. She questions why, if they're powerful enough to influence politics, they haven't used that power to protect children from labor. **The remainder is advertising**, primarily for the AutoStrop Razor, which features an illustration of a man applying aftershave, emphasizing the product's ability to prevent razor burn through consistent sharpness.
