What you’re looking at

This page primarily contains **advertising and entertainment content**, not political satire. The main cartoon advertises **Silver King golf balls**. Two golfers discuss a man named Paul Davis who is redesigning a golf course's fourth hole. The joke is that Davis digs so aggressively with his golf club (spade mashie) that he's essentially doing the work of a mole—moving earth twenty feet. The humor is visual slapstick: one golfer suggests the Green Committee should restrict Davis to using only Silver King balls since this brand gives golfers such confidence they perform better. It's a light, product-focused joke promoting the golf balls' quality. The page also contains record reviews, music recommendations, and a short story titled "The Power of Words" about a taxi driver and a police officer—none of which are satirical or political in nature. The right side features an advertisement for **Squibb's Dental Cream**, with copy emphasizing oral hygiene after smoking.

THE POWER OF WORDS Ir was a hot night, but I was in good spirits after a pleasant evening. I hailed a passing taxi and we spun along at a merry rate—15-and-5, as a matter of fact. Suddenly a sawed-off Ford pulled up alongside “Pull over there, and be quick about it! yelled the cop. ‘What's the idea, driving fifty miles an hour, runnin’ past the lights, racing down hill and endangering cars and pedestrians?" My taxi driver sat without saying a word. “Come on out here, where I can look you over,"* ordered the officer. Out climbed the driver, without a protest. “Oh! Yeh! I see! You're just one of them fresh young kids that has no business driving any kind of a car. Why don't you say some- thing? What excuse you got? Let's see your license!"* Nervously, and still without a word, my driver showed his credentials. Then the cop burst forth into the most clo- quent tirade I have ever heard. He accused the poor cab driver of just about every traffic viola- tion on the card. Finally, however, the cop went chugging away, and the taxi driver climbed back into his seat. As he pulled up in front of my apartment house I jumped out and handed him the fare. “Well,” I said, sympathetically, ‘did he give you a ticket?"* “‘Hell, no!"* snorted the driver contemptuously, “'T talked him out of it!" —Karl K, Kitchen, in New York Evening World.

It shouldn't be—not if your mouth is healthy and free from that woolly, tepid taste. Before that first smoke, tone up your mouth with Squibb’s Dental Cream. It neutralizes acids and soothes the gums. Above all, it leaves tiny particles of Milk of Magnesia in your mouth that help to keep your smoking taste lively and pleasant. Use Squibb’s in the evening, too, after smoking. The fresh cleanliness of your mouth the next morning will delight you. Guard The Danger Line *. B comicbooks.com
