# Analysis of Judge Magazine Page This page from Judge contains a large cartoon titled "Yapp's Crossing Is Irrevocably Divided on the New Time Question" along with several brief comic vignettes below. The main cartoon satirizes America's adoption of Daylight Saving Time—note references to "we are again daylight saving we used more" visible in the street scene. The chaotic street illustration, crowded with numerous figures and businesses, suggests social confusion and disagreement over the time change. The title's phrase about being "irrevocably divided" indicates public controversy over this policy. Below are unrelated short jokes: "In Small Doses" about a doctor's prescription being called a "treatment," "Old Fox" about a cynical lawyer, "A Pilgrim Privilege" about a drunk man defending his deviation from righteousness, "Opportunity" (unclear meaning), and "In the Air" making dark humor about owing money to someone in an airplane. The cartoons reflect early-20th-century American anxieties about modernization and government intervention in daily life.
