Judge — October 19, 1918 — page 29: what you’re looking at
What you’re looking at
This page is primarily **advertising and humor columns** rather than political satire. The main cartoon addresses WWI's current moment: "The Coming Dismemberment of Turkey" shows two figures discussing the Ottoman Empire's collapse—a timely reference, as Turkey was actively losing territory in 1918 as the war ended. The bulk of the page contains "College Wits"—brief, punny humor pieces typical of Judge's format. Notable examples include jokes about student poverty ("One so seldom receives a check from home"), romance ("Unworthy George"), and a topical quip about German control of the Danube River, reflecting ongoing WWI preoccupations. The remaining content is **period advertisements**: Cuban cigars, tailored pants, and patent medicines (dandruff cure, hair loss remedy). The page captures how American magazines blended current events commentary with light entertainment and commercial messaging during the final weeks of World War I.
