This page features **Judges Crossword Puzzles**, a regular feature where the magazine paid $25 for reader submissions—provided they were humorous. The main content is Crossword Puzzle #73, submitted by a Cleveland reader (W.T. Conway). Below it appears the solution grid for the previous week's puzzle (#72), filled with words that appear to reference contemporary topics and wordplay typical of Judge's satirical humor. The cartoon header shows exuberant figures celebrating around a large question mark, emphasizing the puzzle's entertaining appeal. The page includes editorial notes stating puzzles must be funny and won't be returned without postage—standard magazine practices of the era. Without knowing the specific date, it's difficult to identify particular political or social references in the word solutions shown, though the word list suggests typical Judge-style wordplay mixing current events with clever language humor that would have resonated with readers of that period.
