What you’re looking at
This page from *Judge* magazine contains primarily **advertisements and humorous filler content** rather than political cartoons. The main elements are: **Theater Advertisements**: Multiple Broadway theater listings (Republic, Eltinge) promoting plays like "The Sign on the Door" and "The Acquittal." **College Humor Sections**: Several brief joke items labeled "College Wits," including: - A poem about joy-riding in someone else's touring car (satirizing conspicuous consumption) - Exam-cheating jokes (students buying test answers/"cribs") - Light romantic humor about engagements and proposals **Educational Advertisement**: The Landon School solicits cartoon sketches from readers, offering instruction. **The humor reflects early 1920s concerns**: economic anxiety (the H.C.L. poem about rising costs for clothes), academic dishonesty, and leisurely automobile culture. The satire is gentle, aimed at college students and urban middle-class readers rather than political figures or movements. The page is characteristic of *Judge*'s light satirical approach to contemporary social life rather than hard political commentary.

I love to see the trees whiz by, And hear the motor hum; I love the rumble as on we fly, With the sound of a kettledrum. I love the rush of the bracing air, And the feeling of joy it brings; It's sport that’s far beyond compare, \ sport that is fit for kings. It’s the jolliest thing I know by far, And my heart with rapture melts; I love to ride in a touring car, When it’s owned by someone else —Lehigh Burr.
