The American Legion campaigns to raise a 5 000 000 endowment to sustain rehabilitation work for disabled veterans and orphans, urging public support to avoid ingratitude toward those who served.
Opinion piece notes urban dangers once laughed at now real risks. It cites editors in New York and Chicago warning readers about personal safety amid rising crime.

Iowa editors survey Philadelphia’s new Poor Man’s Court where a judge arbiter settles petty disputes without attorneys or juries. The system, aided by welfare agencies, operates on an old law allowing a citizen to serve as arbitrator, with decisions carrying weight like a judge. The Philadelphia plan earns support from legal aid groups and may inspire other cities to adopt simpler, cheaper justice.
Imogene and Andrew mock budget cuts in Washington and joke about army spending. They riff on salaries, polo ponies, grooms, airplanes, and the idea of a future war fought on polo fields with mallets replacing rifles. The satire shifts to Japan and polo as a comic lens on military readiness and public spending.
Abe Martin quips that a dollar drop in a saloon can turn troubleful, noting the lazy sight of a wife trying to lift a man named Jack, while the environment feels dangerous and dull.

Uncle Wiggily encounters laughing bunnies Jingie Jangie and Jingle who plot a chair trick. They lure him to sit then move the chair but he outsmarts them by sitting in the rocking chair instead. They applaud his patience as he helps search for an entangled rabbit named Scooter trapped in a hole with Twistytail observing.
Sam Loyd presents a quick mental challenge titled Brain Tests asking readers to answer within fifteen minutes. The item promotes Loyd as the author and invites participation in a puzzle format.
