It argues censorship wanes as producers avoid offensive elements, boosting both business and art, and predicts declines in depraved plays and a brighter theatrical future.
The piece argues cantaloupe growers face heavy costs from seed to freight, with the commission man taking a large share. A standard crate holds 45 melons costing retailers about $3.50, leaving growers with under two and a half cents per melon after deductions. It urges a federally controlled cooperative marketing association to reduce tolls and lower consumer prices.

A 1936 column reflects on self deception and false humility. Marie of Roumania urges readers to face their own vanity, tear away comfortable self approval, and replace it with honest humility to enable real improvement. The piece cites mirror-like honesty and inner examination as essential.
The author argues that human predatory urge underpins art collecting and looting. From hoarding museum treasures to curio hunting and pilfering spoons, people pay high prices for objects with history, risking forgery and theft. Even legitimate study of art objects cannot excuse excessive desire to own.

The piece muses on how trends oscillate, predicting that long sleeves high necks and long skirts will return while noting comfort in cyclical fashion changes.
