# "Judging the News" - October 1, 1927 This page contains brief satirical news commentary and a cartoon. The main cartoon depicts a man proposing to a woman in a canoe, with the caption "And tonight he planned to propose in her canoe!" The accompanying news items mock contemporary topics: 1. **Chicago milk wagon regulation** - Mocking a municipal ordinance requiring rubber tires and silencers on beer wagons, suggesting absurd priorities 2. **Real estate promotion** - A New York realtor using a submarine display to attract buyers, implying the "Florida boom" will eventually require underwater property 3. **Anne McPherson uniform controversy** - The Los Angeles District Attorney allegedly requested a Navy-style uniform for prosecuting a case, satirizing bureaucratic pretension 4. **Aviation records** - Commentary on U.S. holding only 16 of 81 official air records, suggesting national decline The cartoon's humor relies on the awkwardness of romantic timing interrupted by the practical (and tippy) setting of a canoe.
