# Analysis of "Judge Wants to Know" Page This page from *Judge* (dated January 29, 1925) presents satirical questions the magazine's editors wanted answered. The central cartoon depicts "The one-armed driver takes up skiing," showing a one-armed skier descending a snowy slope. The humor satirizes dangerous or absurd activities. The accompanying questions mock various social concerns: Peter Pan film adaptations, car horn noise, pedestrian safety and motorist revenge, license plate visibility, and jury duty regarding a hypothetical murder case. The skiing cartoon's point appears to be mocking reckless behavior—either criticizing extreme sports participation or poking fun at someone attempting inherently dangerous activities despite physical limitations. The overall page reflects *Judge*'s characteristic satirical tone toward contemporary American life and social anxieties of the 1920s.
