This page is primarily **advertising and book reviews**, not political cartoons. The dominant content includes: **Advertisements:** Jason Weiler & Sons diamond importers dominate the left side, offering direct-mail diamonds at claimed discounts. Below is a Resinol salve ad featuring silhouettes of children, promoting treatment for skin irritation. A "Private Motor Service" ad and train announcement round out commercial content. **Book Reviews:** The right column reviews contemporary literature including works by Walter Lippmann (*Public Opinion*) and an anonymous author called "A Gentleman With a Duster" (*Painted Windows*), which satirizes British ecclesiastical figures. **Hair Dye Advertisement:** A prominent middle section features Mary T. Goldman's Hair Color Restorer, using the headline "Age Is Judged By Gray Hair"—a period beauty product marketed to combat perceived aging. No political cartoons appear on this page. The "satire" mentioned relates to book content, not visual humor.

Diamond Importers since 1876 Foreign Agencies: London, Amsterdam and Paris The Latest Books (Continued from page 24) UBLIC OPINION, by Walter Lipp- mann (Harcourt, Brace & Company). It would be difficult to praise this book too highly. Since he first began writ- ing about public events, the author has gone through a steady development. His early precocity, which filled some of us with a kind of dismay, has been succeeded by an unusual clarity of style coupled with an astonishing grasp of his subject matter. AINTED WINDOWS, by A Gentle- man With a Duster (G. P. Putnam’s Sons). This is the third book issued by the anonymous writer whose identity has defied the curious. And this is about the Church ard deals with the leading Ec- clesiastical digniiaries of Great Britain, polishing them off, if not with the same cleverness displayed in “Mirrors of - LIFE - Downing Street,” at least with much force and apparent sympathy for their hapless and more or less degenerate condition. The process is interesting, but we are not sure that it isn’t disgusting. After all, the clerical gentlemen remain about as they were before you began the book. IVILIZATION IN THE UNITED STATES, an Inquiry by Thirty Americans (Harcourt, Brace & Com- pany). The author, or, rather, the editor of this book explains that the distinguished men who came to make it, first met and discussed the idea very thoroughly. He explains, we think quite satisfactorily, why religion was left out. As for the book itself, it consists of thirty articles, each written from a different standpoint and about a different phase of our American Republic. It is enormously interesting al- though some of the individual articles (Mr. Macy’s piece on “Journalism” or Mr. Colby’s on “Humor”) might be better done. You are, however, in the main fascinated by the various opinions and the fine writ- ing. You shudder in spots, you exult in others and you passionately disclaim still others. And when you have finished you are likely to whisper to yourself, “Cui bono?” ROSINANTE, by John Dos Passos (George H. Doran Company). This is the first book published by the author in this country since “Three Soldiers.” It is not a novel; it is a series of sketches as a result of travels in Spain. It is good; it is more than good, it is very good. We state this out of due liberality of soul, for, personally, we hate books of this kind—they never seem to get any- where. The author is a good writer. We predict that he will do better and better; he is, we think, on an ascending literary scale.
