This page promotes **Life's Travel Contest**, offering readers a chance to win a free six-week European vacation for two people to France and England. The contest announcement will be made within two weeks, with cash prizes for runners-up. The left side features an illustration of a stylish woman with luggage, emphasizing the glamorous vacation prize. The right side contains an advertisement for **Absorbine Jr.**, a liniment product claiming to relieve muscle soreness and stiffness from work or exercise. It lists uses including sore throats, burns, cuts, and strains. Below the ad is a cartoon showing what appears to be a domestic scene with dialogue about "rubbing" winning money at bridge—a humorous reference to card games as a competing way to earn travel money. The page also mentions Joan Hinley, a sixteen-year-old already sailing to Europe to document the contest's progress in future Life issues.
