The Current Lampoon

Radio activity is rather well illustrated in the current Lampoon. Our naval neighbors attain none too much attention in this number that is especially dedicated to them, but what there is of it is good--and proper.

Not the least important accomplishment of the Lampoon is that of making the radio men know that they are welcome to the University, which it does in an editorial. What matters it, then, if succeeding pages make fun of the radio man's frequent moments of discomfiture? There is much more veracity than verse, for instance in the "Joys of the Radio School" drawing, which is perhaps more amusing to radio men than to the civilian subscribers of the comic.

The best points in this special number do not concern the radio men particularly. "Summe Olde Stuffe" is within range of being a classic. Written in imitation of Chaucer (on a guess), it has the sprightly and clever versification that only F. P. Adams or a few other latter day wits could give it. And its apt illustration is an artful aid.

Running second for real humor honors is the cartoon picturing just why woman is superior over man, as the illustrated sought to prove a few weeks back.
