What you’re looking at
This page is primarily **advertising and humor content**, typical of Judge magazine's format. The main satirical pieces are short jokes: - **"Precaution Unnecessary"**: A boy fishing on Sunday deflects the minister's concern by noting his father fishes nearby—humor based on hypocrisy and parental example. - **"Fatal Symptoms"**: A restaurant cashier claims her beauty is fading; the owner's response that "men are beginning to count their change" jokes that her loss of beauty means she's no longer distracting customers from noticing theft. - **"Pardonable Sins"**: A poem about a lawyer (Junius) who violates professional ethics by exposing clients' secrets, yet escapes consequences because other lawyers protect him—satirizing legal profession corruption and mutual cover-ups. - **"The Caddie's Comeback"**: A golfer threatens violence; the caddie's retort that the golfer doesn't know which club to use mocks his incompetence. The **Cook's Champagne ad** emphasizes American-made luxury goods, playing on post-WWI American confidence. The **War Babies art prints** advertisement references Judge covers by notable illustrators.

ExtraDry Champagne has been a delightful revelation to many Americans who used to think that they could attain travel enjoyment only by means of an ocean liner. Seetng the American label first has been just as pleasant a sur- prise to many who used to think that superior champagne could reach them only via an ocean freighter. So, all ‘round, America has come into her own, and hereafter, war or no war, people will see this American wine first.
