On the fifth page there is an article detailing how the United States Life Saving Service watches for and aids ships in distress. On the twelfth page there is a short article about the "Dangers of Dirty Finger-Nails" detailing the different kinds of bacteria that are frequently found under dirty finger-nails. This Saturday edition of The Evening Item was published in two separate parts, but those parts have been combined here for ease of reading. Also included in this two part issue are short stories, anecdotes, fashion news, local and regional news, advertisements and more.
