What you’re looking at

This page is primarily **advertising and humorous commentary** rather than political cartoons. The main content satirizes American politicians circa 1928-1932. References include: - **Charles Curtis** (Vice President under Hoover) - **Charles Gates Dawes** (former VP candidate) - **Dr. Royal S. Copeland** (New York Senator, humorously described as joining thirty-five organizations) - **Alfred E. Smith** (likely the defeated ambassador mentioned) - Implied criticism of **Herbert Hoover's** political standing The satire mocks Republican politicians and holiday politics, suggesting no "Christmas joy" for them while Copeland's Senate victory is "uproarious." The page also contains a **Krementz wrist watch band advertisement** and a humorous anecdote about a schoolboy who misinterprets poetry about "stars" as a prison fight ("scrap"), satirizing literal-minded youth. A **Squibb's Dental Cream advertisement** occupies the right column.

THE MAN WHO SAW STARS A TEacHeR was desirous of stimulating the imagination of a class of boys who read foot- ball reports with greater zest than they studied | anthologies. The quotation of a certain couplet, | however, aroused a look of keen appreciation in one of the class whom she considered to be} hopeless. | “Tom,"* said she, ‘what does ‘Two men looked through the prison bars. The one saw mud...the other, stars’ Suggest to you?" “That it must have been a gorgeous scrap!"* said the unimaginative one. —London Morning Post. Here’s a little gem of wisdom for the man who wants the best that smoking can give him—a healthy, protected mouth means a cool, joyous smoke. There's a lot in that thought. There won't be much opportunity for the first smoke to bite or growl, or for the last one to be sour or bitter—every puff will hit the spot, if you will just give your mouth the care that it deserves. If you make Squibb’s Dental Cream an intimate rite in your smoking routine. For Squibb’s not only puts your mouth in a healthy con- dition but, by depositing tiny particles of Milk of Magnesia in the mouth crevices, it keeps it so. At night it relieves any possible irritation or distaste. 40c at any druggist’s. Copyright 1928 by E. R. Squibb & Sons GUARD THE DANGER LINE comicbooks.com
