What you’re looking at
This page is primarily text rather than cartoon. It discusses private ceremonies kept from public audiences and hints at legal troubles involving "restrictive measures" and the Arbuckle counsel—likely referencing the Roscoe "Fatty" Arbuckle scandal of the early 1920s, when the famous comedian faced manslaughter charges. The text then shifts to Captain Al Waddell, who commanded a battery and worked with Clif Durant (son of automotive industrialist W.C. Durant). The passage humorously notes Waddell could profit from writing about the "Durant divorce" but is instead busy selling Perfecto axles for Ford automobiles. The final section jokes that Clif Durant spent six years telling his wife what to do before she apparently left him, suggesting marital discord.
