# Life's Calendar for October This is a historical calendar page listing notable events for October, authored by Marc Connelly and George S. Kaufman. The page contains two small cartoon illustrations: 1. **Left cartoon** (near October 1): Shows a figure with a clock, likely illustrating the daylight-saving time entry for that date. 2. **Right cartoon** (near October 15): Depicts figures in period dress, possibly relating to historical events listed. The page primarily functions as an educational/humorous calendar documenting significant American historical moments—from the Battle of Corinth (1862) to the dedication of the Lincoln Monument (1922). Rather than satirical commentary, it serves as a historical reference decorated with period-appropriate illustrations, presenting factual events with occasional wry commentary typical of *Life* magazine's approach to presenting historical information to its readers.
