# "Judging the News" - Judge Magazine Satire This page contains brief topical commentary and two cartoons lampooning contemporary news items (circa 1920s based on the copyright mark). **Top cartoon**: Shows two figures on a seesaw, illustrating the competitive nature of early aviation or sports achievements—likely satirizing newspaper coverage of record-breaking attempts. **Bottom cartoon**: Titled "Isn't Dad a scream—he takes telephoning so seriously," depicts a man gesticulating wildly while on a telephone, surrounded by a band of musicians playing loudly. The joke mocks both 1920s telephone anxiety and excessive domestic noise-making—people struggling with this new communication technology and its disruption to household peace. The brief news items mock a Boston woman's speed-walking, bicycle racing regulation, academic absurdities, and alleged Japanese paper manufacturing—all topical fodder for satirical commentary.
