# Judge Magazine Page Analysis This page contains several brief satirical items and one cartoon. The main cartoon depicts a fashionable woman departing, leaving children with a nurse, with the caption: "I'm leaving the children in your care, nurse; and if they're naughty, just send them to bed without their cocktails." The satire targets 1920s-era parenting and Prohibition culture. It mocks wealthy socialites who apparently serve cocktails to children as routine, suggesting moral decay among the elite. The joke's dark humor relies on the absurdity—sending children to bed without alcohol as punishment implies they customarily consume it, which was scandalous. The surrounding brief items mock various contemporary topics: Egyptian mummification practices, an educational film, coal quality, captured Russian bomb-throwers, radio technology, Tutankhamun's discovery, and vacuum flasks—typical satirical commentary on 1920s news and consumer culture.

WELVE hunters were killed in the Adirondacks during the 1925 deer season. It looks as if motoring was a fine art up there, too. PAD Russian bomb thrower was re- cently captured by the New York police in a barber shop. He probably thought that would be the last place they would ever think of looking for him. PAA Constvenixe the quality of the stuff our coal,merchants are selling nowadays, heaping coals of fire on any one’s head is practically impossible. Re messages, it is claimed, can be driven through solid matter regardless of its density. By this method it will perhaps be possible now for citizens to explain their wishes to Congressmen. PAD vacuum flask is now on the mar- ket that will keep things hot for an indefinite time. These do not, however, make appropriate Christmas presents for married men. Cal UTANKHAMEN, in his gold coffin, has been removed to Cairo. We suppose they sang, “Oh, Cairo me back to old Egypt’? “I'm leaving the children in your care, nurse; and if they’re naughty, just send them to bed without their cocktails.” comicbooks.com
