What you’re looking at

This page is primarily **advertising and filler content** rather than satirical commentary. The main elements are hotel advertisements (Powhatan, Rittenhouse, Punta Gorda) and product ads (Judge Calendars, varicose vein treatments, trusses). The only substantive content is "Stories With Smiles," a humor section. The visible story features **Head Coach Howe of Yale** contrasting American and English football enthusiasm—a mild cultural observation rather than sharp satire. The joke involves English working-class women discussing their husbands' football obsession, with the punchline playing on different attitudes toward winning versus losing ("gets a beatin' up"). The page also includes a poem, "The Ring of Words," credited to **Robert Louis Stevenson**, about how songs outlast singers. **Overall**: This appears to be a standard Judge issue page mixing advertisements with light humor and verse—typical magazine filler of the era, lacking the pointed political satire the publication was known for.

Why, there will sometimes be nearly one hundred thousand English at a single football game. “Two English women of the lower class were drinking ‘four-ale’ in a ‘pub’ one afternoon. ‘**What’s the matter with ‘ee, Bess?’ said the first woman. ***Ah'm puzzled,’ said the second, “**What about, Bess?’ “**Well, ye see, my Garge’s on the football team, an’ when the team wins he treats me to fried fish an’ the movies; but when it losses he gies me a beatin’ up.’ “**Well, Bess, I know all about that. But what's puzzlin’ thee? That's what | asked.’ "Well, ye see, ended in a drav Star, -day’s match '—Washington A Real Difficulty.—** Here’s a funny one,’’said Shimmerpate. ‘‘Listen to this: A fashion expert prophesies that inside a few years society leaders will be wearing wigs to match their gowns.’” Shimmerpate’s boy Bob was all interest. “Red wigs for red dresses?"’ he inquired. “That's the idea.”” “‘White wigs for white dresses?” “*Exactly.’”” “‘And what if some one wears blue dress?"" “‘T suppose she will have to wear a blue wig.”’ Bob began to laugh uproariously. “‘What’s the matter?’’ the father asked. “IT was just thinking,’ the boy re- plied, ‘‘what a lot of trouble some woman might have trying to geta wig to match a Scotch plaid gown.” —Youngstown Telegram. The Ring of Words. Bright is the ring of words When the right man rings them; Fair the fall of songs When the singer sings them Still they are caroled and said— On wings they are carried— After the singer is dead And the maker buried. Low as the singer lies In the field of heather, Songs of his fashion bring The swains together. And when the west is rede With the sunset embers, The lover lingers and sings, And the maid remembers. —Robert Louis Stevenson. Defined. “Pop, what is a socialist?” “‘A socialist, my son, is a person who is just itching to put a bent pin on the seat of government.” in answering advertisements please mention JUDGE.
