What you’re looking at

This page is primarily **advertising and book reviews**, not political satire or comics in the modern sense. The substantive content includes: **Book Reviews**: Robert E. Sherwood reviews A.S.M. Hutchinson's novel "If Winter Comes," praising it as superior to John Dos Passos's "Three Soldiers" for its literary craftsmanship and depth. **Light Humor Pieces**: Three brief jokes—one about a Hollywood couple divorcing, one mocking slow constitutional reform, and one with a barber's wordplay about hair parting—are mild social commentary reflecting 1920s concerns (divorce, slow legal progress, appearance). **Advertisements**: The page is dominated by product ads (Pear's Soap, Bayer Aspirin, Waterman's pens, cruise lines, health tonics), typical of Life magazine's commercial content. **No Political Cartoons**: Despite the request, this page contains no political cartoons or sustained satirical imagery—just conventional period advertising and brief, gentle satirical vignettes.

Good morning! Have you used The . Aristocrat Sine Joilet Soaps An Easy Way to Remove Dandruff If you want plenty of thick, beautiful, glossy, silky hair, do by all means get rid of dandruff, for it will starve your hair and ruin it if you don't. The best way to get rid of dandruff is to dissolve it. To do this, just apply a little Liquid Arvon at night before retiring; use enough to moisten the scalp, and rub it in gently with the finger tips. By morning, most, if not all, of your dandruff will be gone, and three or four more applications should completely re- move every sign and trace of it. You will find, too, that all itching of the scalp will stop, and your hair will look and feel a hundred times better. You can get Liquid Arvon at any drug store. A four- ounce bottle is usually all that is needed. The R. L. Watkins Co., Cleveland, Ohio. WONDER CRUISE MEDITERRANEAN to 350 Guests” Jan. 28 to March 30,1922.

To compare it with “Three Soldiers” is patently unfair, for A. S. M. Hutchinson, its author, is a lit- erary craftsman of established standing, whereas John Dos Passos is barely out of the novice class. Moreover, “If Winter Comes” is not essentially a war novel. The war is incidental. It is the story of a very normal Englishman into whose quiet life comes the sudden hand of merciless circumstance, to pick him up, crush him, and hurl him down with frightful force. The story is told in the same rhythmi- cal style that characterized Mr. Hutch- inson’s “Once Aboard the Lugger” and “The Happy Warrior.” But it pos- sesses far more strength and more ma- ture wisdom than any of his previous works. It is more than a mere novel, it is an epic poem of very great beauty. “If Winter Comes” will last long after most other literary products of | this age have gone to an obscure and unlamented grave.
