**Top Cartoon: "Their Clothes Sometimes Fool You"** This depicts three men at what appears to be a golf club. The caption notes the well-dressed gentleman on the left has a handicap of 28, while the morbidly obese man on the right holds the course record—suggesting appearances deceive regarding actual ability and competence. **Bottom Cartoon: "The Perfect Lover"** Shows two women observing a man. The dialogue warns one woman to "look out for him" as he's "an awful backbiter," while the other responds she "just adore[s] cavemen"—satirizing women's attraction to masculine men despite knowing of their poor character or gossip. Both cartoons mock human nature and misguided judgments based on superficial impressions.

Every time an announcer says “folks” or “kiddies” or any other word that may be distasteful to the listener, the synonym unit climinates it and THEIR CLOTHES SOMETIMES FOOL YOU substitutes “Jedies! and gentlemen or en” or whatever word is less objectionable. Einstein: That ought to be easy to perfect. Why don’t you tackle a man’s job? There's Ford over there; let's find out what his newest wrinkle is. Eptson: No; don’t! He'll think we're kidding him. Besides, he seems to be interested in that young Jones. Say! What did he ever do to get in? De Forest: Who? Ford? Epison: No! Jones! Marconi: Nothing yet.
