# Analysis of Judge Magazine Page This page contains three distinct humor pieces from Judge magazine: 1. **"She Can't Be Beat"**: A sentimental piece where a man expresses devotion to a woman, credited to Marion E. Burns. The accompanying illustration shows a couple in an intimate domestic scene. 2. **"Solving One Problem"**: A brief joke about a jitney (shared taxi) driver who discovers a profitable side business ferrying nervous pedestrians across streets—satirizing both early automobile culture and urban hazards. 3. **"The Man Worthwhile"**: A philosophical piece by Paul Lutz about envying men who can take medicine stoically, contrasting with complaints about modern life extension and noting present-day young women's resilience. The lower cartoon depicts a man conducting an orchestra, captioned about taking the "Mother Song" seriously—likely satirizing overly earnest artistic interpretation.

My devotion to her shows boldly forth’ from my eyes when I gaze upon her—it amounts to almost an idolatrous worship. I know that it is not mere infatuation, for I have been enamored of her over a long period of time—years that have been marked by much of bliss for me which emanates from her beloved contact.
