What you’re looking at
This is primarily an **entertainment advertising page** from *Judge* magazine (June 2, date unclear but wartime based on context). The bulk consists of theatrical advertisements for Broadway shows playing in 1918. The only actual cartoon content is **"Zounds!"** by Treve Collins Jr., which makes a light joke about automobile noise: the loud "crash" the reader hears isn't cannon fire from enemy forces—it's just a "Fearsome Ford" car approaching. This is a pun on the Model T Ford's notorious noise and vibration, playing on wartime anxiety about military sounds. A secondary item, **"The Limit!"** is a brief office joke about how a man closes his business because his stenographer, secretary, wife, and mother-in-law all went to war work, leaving him without staff. **Context**: This is wartime America (WWI era). The page also includes a note about mailing *Judge* to soldiers in camps, positioning the magazine as morale-boosting entertainment for troops—explained as "the happy medium" for "war-strung nerves."

A Valuable Tip UDGE was one of the three most popular publications in the camps in a list including all the leading magazines “The happy medium,” Judge, fumishes welcome relaxation for war-strung nerves. Stick a tc stamp on the cover of this issue, according to postmaster Burieson's advice, and drop in the mail; the Government will send it to soldiers or sailors at the front. Do this every. week, and you'll make life that much cheerier for the men in camp and “over there.” Or send us a dollar and a soldier's or sailor's name and address —cither at camp or at the front — and we'll send him the next 13 issues. Address Judge, 225 Fifth Avenue, New York City What JUDGE Means to Our Boys in Camp Camp Library, U. S. Camp Doniphan, Okh. Eprtor oF Jupce: I want to take this occasion to thank you as heartily as I know how for your splendid generosity in sending many duplicate copies of Judge to Camp Doniphan. Several times I have wished that you might see the way these magazines are received. We send nearly all of them to the hospitals where they render the greatest service imaginable. It seems a small thing probably to a great publishing firm to make this contribution, but it is a very big thing for men in hot and dusty camps who are tired or sick to receive Judge while the cover is fresh and the imprint new. I am sure that I am actually speaking for the men in Camp Doniphan when I say that your contribution is very highly appreciated. L. L.
