This page contains **Judge's crossword puzzle No. 36**, contributed by a reader from Cincinnati. The puzzle itself is standard grid format, but the answers shown below—including "COMIC," "DEN," "SHOOT," "DOVES," "DUDE," "KISSES," "SABERS"—suggest humor-themed clues typical of Judge magazine's satirical approach. The header illustration shows cartoonish figures in playful poses, establishing the puzzle's lighthearted tone. The page announces Judge will publish weekly crossword puzzles, paying $25 for funny submissions (a substantial sum in this era). This represents Judge's adaptation to the 1930s crossword puzzle craze, monetizing reader participation while maintaining the magazine's humorous brand. The cartoon mascot at bottom reinforces this entertainment focus.
