What you’re looking at

This page features primarily a crossword puzzle (No. 18) with accompanying administrative content. The main visual elements are cartoon children at the top expressing enthusiasm about crossword puzzles, and two small cartoon figures at the bottom. The text announces Judge magazine's new weekly crossword puzzle feature, offering $25 payment for accepted puzzles that are "funny"—indicating these aren't standard puzzles but humorous ones tailored to Judge's satirical content. The contributor's address is listed, and instructions specify that solutions won't be returned without postage and should not be submitted for the current puzzle. The page also includes the answer key to the previous week's puzzle (No. 17), visible as a completed grid. This represents Judge's venture into the crossword craze that swept America in the 1920s-1930s, adapting the popular format to their comedic editorial mission.
