What you’re looking at
This page presents **Puzzle No. 16**, a crossword puzzle contributed by W.C. Stripe of Pittsburgh. The content is primarily functional rather than satirical—it's an announcement that *Judge* magazine will run weekly crossword puzzles, paying $25 for accepted submissions (with payment at regular rates for others). The page includes decorative cartoon illustrations typical of the era: characters at the top appearing excited or chaotic, and figures at the bottom. These are generic humorous vignettes rather than political commentary. The puzzle itself appears heart-shaped, a common decorative choice for the period. An answer key for "Puzzle No. 15" is printed in the lower right corner. This represents *Judge's* expansion into popular puzzle entertainment during the crossword craze of the 1920s-30s, appealing to readers beyond traditional satirical content.
