What you’re looking at
This page contains several brief humorous sketches typical of Judge magazine's satirical style, plus period advertisements. ## The Cartoons/Jokes: **"Draw Poker"** and **"Chicken à la King"** are short, punchy jokes playing on wordplay and exaggeration—Sam loses at cards and gets "blown to Hades"; a cannibal king hosts a lady for lunch with darkly humorous implications. **"Red-eye"** satirizes Naval Academy mess hall food. A "midshipman" (Naval student) describes the notoriously poor quality of ship's meals—ancient, poorly cooked potatoes that smell of boots and shoes, requiring heavy use of catsup to be palatable. This reflects genuine complaints about military food. The other sketches appear to be romantic or domestic comedy bits about Naval life. ## The Advertisements: These target military/working-class audiences: Empire Loomercraft Silks (quality menswear), Ford carburetors (fuel efficiency), and Bethlehem Steel Company (military ordnance manufacturing). The page reflects early 20th-century Judge content: light military humor, product advertising, and casual period prejudices.
