# "Topics of the Day" - Judge Magazine, June 4, 1927 This page combines brief satirical news items with a cartoon depicting an "enterprising flapper" in Turkish costume at an American beach resort. The news items mock various topics: Turkey's ban on the fez, U.S. income tax requirements, a fortune-teller named Mr. Saunders, Harvard's vaccination requirements, French treasure-hunting plans, union barbers striking over curling irons, and France's discovery that Burgundy wine benefits young chickens. The main cartoon satirizes the 1920s "flapper" culture—young women adopting fashionable, sometimes exotic styles. The Turkish costume suggests Americans' fascination with foreign fashions and the flapper's willingness to adopt any trendy look, regardless of cultural context. The beach setting and surrounding figures emphasize this as fashionable leisure activity rather than authentic cultural expression.
