# "Judging the News" - October 8, 1927 This page satirizes news stories through brief commentary and a cartoon titled "Why do they call them 'Odd Fellows'?" The main cartoon depicts men in formal attire gathered around an I.O.O.F. (Independent Order of Odd Fellows) lodge building. The joke appears to mock the fraternal organization's name by showing these formally-dressed men as genuinely "odd"—the cartoon uses visual humor to suggest the members themselves justify the organization's peculiar name. The text column comments on lighter news items: a Cincinnati Zoo dog learning to drink beer, a French naval team's poor sports performance, Ford automobiles' speed capabilities, auto fatality statistics compared to trains, New York bank savings deposits, and Canadian prohibition debates. The satire is gentle and observational rather than biting political commentary.
