This page is primarily a magazine table of contents and advertising, not a political cartoon. The main content is: **"Telephone Etiquette"** — A sponsored article by American Telephone & Telegraph promoting proper telephone manners as civic duty. It frames telephone use as a "telephone democracy" requiring mutual cooperation between callers, recipients, and operators. **Small humor pieces** fill the left column (jokes about piano-playing, remarriage, "local option" towns, and family budgeting) — these are standard period comedy filler, not satire. **The cartoon** — A small illustration accompanies "Of Two Evils," showing a domestic scene where a father welcomes his daughter's piano-playing because it drowns out his wife's conversation. This reflects common early-20th-century humor about marriage and domestic annoyance. The page reflects *Judge* magazine's mix of lighthearted jokes, advertising, and genteel humor for middle-class readers. There is no significant political content or social commentary visible here.

Otherwise one marriage would have been enough." —Fliegende Blactte. Its Real Meaning. | “What is the ct meaning of a local option town asked the wife of the commercial traveler, looking up from her newspaper. **Oh, that merely means a town where it is optional with you whether you get it at the drug store or the general gro- cery,’’ replied the commercial traveler. —Philadelphia Record. Getting Off Easy. “Does it cost much to clothe a fami- asked the economical man, Not mine," replied Sirius Barker. “My only daughter is a barefoot dancer and my only son is a Marathon runner.” —Washington Star. Telephone Etiquette Co-operation is the key- note of telephone success. For good service there must be perfect co-operation be- tween the party calling, the party called, and the trained operator who connects these two. Suggestions for the use of the telephone may be found in the directory and are worthy of study, but the prin- ciples of telephone etiquette are found in everyday life. One who is courteous face to face should be courteous when he bridges distance by means of the telephone wire. He will not knock at the telephone door and run away but will hold himself in readi- ness to speak as soon as the door is opened. The 100,000 employees of the Bell system and the 25,000,000 telephone users constitute the great telephone democracy. The success of the telephone democracy depends upon the ability and willingness of each individual to do his part.
