# "Judging the News" - April 30, 1926 This satirical column mixes brief news commentary with a cartoon below. The main joke concerns modern furniture becoming fashionable: a couple sits surrounded by angular, geometric Art Deco-style pieces, with the woman telling her husband, "Yes, you have to wear shin guards with this modern furniture becoming the vogue." The satire targets the then-trendy Art Deco/modernist design movement—sharp angles and geometric forms were impractical and physically uncomfortable compared to traditional furnishings. The cartoon mocks how people adopted fashionable design despite obvious drawbacks. Above are brief gossipy news items about Senator Heflin, Joe Colver's driving, and an Italian proposal regarding Fascist bachelors—typical Judge humor combining politics, sports, and social commentary.
