What you’re looking at
This page is primarily **advertising and light humor**, not political satire. The central cartoon "Passing the Mustard" features a humorous illustration of a figure (appears to be a demon or imp) and relates to the accompanying poetry below it. The poem and those that follow are humorous verses about everyday irritations—spilled condiments, grapefruit juice in the eye, slipping on soap—contrasting with the speaker's claim of patience. The joke is ironic: he claims composure during major troubles but loses his temper over minor annoyances. The remaining content consists entirely of **hotel advertisements** (The Whittier Inn, Hotel St. Denis, Hotel Arlington, Hotel Earlington) and product ads (Cortez Cigars, Mothersill's Travel Book, Varicose Veins remedy, 1,000 Island House resort). There is **no political commentary or social satire** on this page—it represents Judge magazine's reliance on advertising revenue and lighthearted, domestic humor rather than the satirical commentary the publication was known for.

WARFIELD, Manager ———} ° Passing the Mustard Exasperating My shirt stud may slip from my fingers And under the bureau may roll, But I don’t fret and fume, As I grope with a broom, For my temper is under control. And I'aim to be patient whenever My collar hangs onto my tie, But my speech is not neat When a grapefruit I eat And the juice of it squirts in my eye. —Edgar A. Guest, in Detroit Free Press. I may slip on the skin of an orange And alight in a puddle of mud, But I do not complain Of the ache or the pain That is caused by the sickening thud. I can cling to my patience while hea: A joke that has moss on it sprung, But I utter a whoop That is wild when the soup Is so hot that it scorches my tongue. —Sam Kiser, in Chicago Record-Hcrald. I may kick if the water’s not hotter, I may wish that the towels were dry; I make a quick lunge For my three-dollar sponge— It’s gone, but I don’t start a cry. I can skate like a dream on the rollers, On the ice you can bet I’m no dope; But it fills me with wrath When I step from my bath And glide on a piece of hard soap. —Yonkers Statesman. I take things as they come when I travel, And over spilt milk never cry; And I don’t care a rap If I hang by a strap Or get something harsh in my eye. They may crowd me, indeed, to the plat+ form— I can stand little troubles like that— But I let out a yell And just yank the bell When the wind gets away with my hat. Not Much—‘'I hear Brown's been pro- moted again. “Yes,’" “That's splendid! He must be quite an important member of the concern now.”” “Oh, I guess not.
