Karl Kae Knecht Cartoon

Description: Cartoon urging people to stop needless noise so that people doing war work can sleep. A man labeled Inconsiderate People pushes a button, causing a horn or siren to sound. The horn is covered with depictions of other ways people make too much noise, such as yelling, hammering, and playing music loudly. In the bottom right corner, Knechts elephant points out that quiet is needed during the day too because that is when the night shift workers sleep. Next to him is a sign which says Quiet Please. War Worker Resting.
