What you’re looking at

This is a **humor page from Judge magazine** (June 27, 1918) featuring short college jokes and satirical content typical of the era. **"Intellectual Lights"** presents four exaggerated academic stereotypes—pompous professors with absurd specialties (calculating hair loss via calculus; studying hermaphrodite mollusks). The satire mocks overwrought academic pretension. **Other jokes** reflect WWI-era humor: an R.O.T.C. member carrying drill equipment; a dark joke about a soldier shot after shaving (normalizing battlefield deaths); references to Washington D.C.'s wartime boom as a "boom town." **The advertisement section** promotes Frank Ward O'Malley's book *"The War-Whirl in Washington,"* depicting the capital's chaotic transformation during wartime mobilization. The final joke about Roosevelt versus Taft reflects ongoing political divisions between these former allies, still relevant in 1918. Overall, the page captures wartime American humor—crude, sometimes morbid, college-focused, and politically aware.

The Capital is not only doing great things, itis doing funny things. The staid and dignified old city on the Potomac has become, in many ways, a boom town with a new set of manners and customs mingling with those of the old. Frank Ward O'Malley was the man to see and report the humorous aspect of Washington giddy with its sudden stimulation of new peoples, new work, new idlenesses. How the city is taking care of the sudden in- flux of men and women filling posi- tions and attempting to fill posi- tions and just talking about filling positions; how the Capital has accommodated itself to an enforced abstemiousness; what is talkea about by the numberless visitors in the hotel lobbies and the corridors of the government buildings; indeed, all Washington, whirling in the new storm, is the subject of Mr. O’Malley’s joyful book. “The War-Whirl in Washington” is a welcome lightening of war burdens from abroad. It has 32 illustrations by Tony Sarg. It is published by “TheCentury Co., New York City, and is sold by all booksellers for $2.00. Fathead! Her husband—Yes, sit!
