This page features "Judge's Crossword Puzzles," No. 20, a standard puzzle competition section common to early-to-mid 20th century magazines. The page itself is not satirical—it's a functional puzzle offering with the solution to the previous week's puzzle (No. 19) displayed in a grid showing answers like "STUDY," "ERASE," "SMELL," and "NOOSE." The key content is the announcement that Judge will pay $25 for each puzzle accepted for publication, contributing to a long tradition of reader-submitted content in the magazine. The small cartoon illustrations are generic decorative elements showing characters working on puzzles—not political commentary. This represents Judge's shift toward entertainment and puzzle content rather than purely satirical cartooning, reflecting the magazine's broadening appeal during this period.
