# Judge Magazine Contents Page, May 12, 1917 This is primarily a contents/index page for Judge magazine's May 1917 issue, listing articles and illustrations rather than displaying cartoons themselves. The left side contains a **advertisement for English language instruction books** by Sherwin Cody, emphasizing that "Good English and Good Fortune Go Hand in Hand." It promises success through improved communication skills—a common self-improvement pitch of the era. The right side lists the issue's contents, including pieces like "A Spring Flood of Tramps at Yap's Crossing," "Phyllis" What?", and "New York City Nursery Rhymes," suggesting Judge's typical blend of social humor and commentary. The **May 1917 date is significant**: America had just entered World War I (April 1917), though no war-related content is visible on this particular page.
