This page contains three distinct pieces of content: **Left side:** An advertisement for Dodge Brothers automobiles, promoting an accessories guide book (25 cents). The ad argues that car owners naturally want to customize their vehicles with proper accessories selected by experts. **Center/Right:** Two literary pieces: 1. **"Campers"** (poem by Irene Mott, V.C. '22): A humorous critique of camping. It describes a camper's miserable experience—uncomfortable sleeping, poor food, bugs, dirt, physical pain—yet afterwards he exaggerates his adventure to friends back home, making it sound grander than it was. The satire mocks both camping's hardships and campers' tendency to embellish their tales. 2. **"A Fable":** A moral story about an officious hen who, after raising chicks, becomes a busybody reformer, annoyed by other barnyard fowls' "Bohemian habits" and "savageries." She establishes a "bureau of reform." This appears to satirize self-righteous social reformers and busybodies who impose their moral standards on others, presented as absurd through animal allegory. Both literary pieces mock human behavior through gentle satire typical of Judge magazine's social commentary.

He does not think the ashes good When mingled with his drink and food. Nor does he like the food he eats, The sodden bread, the melted sweets, The half baked fish, the coffee thin, That tastes of what he boiled it in. And oh, how often does he wish He didn’t have to clean that fish. And finally when there is peace, And day is done, he sits with grease To slowly, painfully, anoint Each blackened bruise, each stiffened joint; Then rueful, woeful, creaks to bed With chastened mind and aching head. The next day quickly surely sends Him limping back to home and friends, Where days on end he’ll sit in state, And yards of daring tales relate About his trip until he, too, By distance has enhanced the view.

The Bohemian habits of the other barnyard fowls annoyed her. She resented the loud noises of self- admiration which they uttered upon all occasions, The uncleanly way they tore at the dirt, The way the young chickens chased the roosters (perfectly shameless!) Their disregard of the common decen- cies of life, Their table manners! All these savageries rankled in her * soul. She said to herself: “Something Must Be done.” So she organized a bureau of reform PRE “Davy Jones’ Locker.” COMMEDOOKSFCOMM
