This pulp weekly contains five continued serials: "Above Suspicion" by Robert Orr Chipperfield (part one of six), a detective-adventure narrative; "Crafty Rogues" by Boice Du Bois (part two of four); "The Dance of Death" by Fred Jackson (part two of six); "The Fire People" by Ray Cummings (part three of five, science fiction); and "Caste" (part five of five). Additional fiction includes the novelette "Her Father's Consent" by George Bronson-Howard, plus shorter works such as "The Pedestal of Command" by John Montague and "The Adventures of Peabody Smith" by William J. Flynn and George Barton. The issue features poetry, humor column "Izzy Kaplan's Kolumn," and instructional content on football scoring. An advertisement teases "Red Darkness" by George F. Worts, a four-part serial beginning next week. The remainder of the issue comprises catalog advertisements for furniture, bedroom outfits, and sales training correspondence courses.
Each page has its own page — the cartoon, who’s in it, and what the satire means.
