# Judge Magazine Page Analysis This page contains several unrelated humor pieces rather than a unified political cartoon. The main illustration depicts air traffic congestion over Paris, captioned "No more week-ends in Paris! This Monday morning traffic is terrible!" — satirizing early aviation's growing popularity and the traffic problems it might create. The text sections contain scattered jokes on various topics: marital dynamics ("Reflected Prominence"), romantic advice ("At the Dance"), medical humor ("Making Up"), and social commentary ("Note on Saving," "HaHaHaHaHa"). A boxing illustration appears at bottom with competitive dialogue. The content reflects 1920s-era concerns: weekend travel, romance, personal health, and financial habits — typical Judge magazine fare mixing gentle social satire with domestic humor rather than hard political commentary.

Reflected Prominence Nitt—Her husband owes a lot to her, doesn’t he? Witt—Sure; nobody ever heard of him before she shot him. Bella—What do you think of those two boys? Stella—They’d make a fine omelet. Bella—What do you mean? Stella—They’re both good eggs. “So you don’t like living in Winsomehurst?” “No—too much rough stuff.” “How come?” “All stucco houses.” At the Dance Nitt—How can you tell whether they’re dancing or just necking? Witt — If they don’t move they’re dancing. Making Up Blink—Doctor, I think I know what’s wrong with me; I get only two hours sleep at night. Physician—If that’s the case, I don’t understand how you look as well as you do. “Well, I sleep about ten hours every day.” Note on Saving If you save five dollars every week from the beginning of a year you will spend it all at Christmas anyway. What this country needs is fewer people telling us what this country .needs.
