# "Judging the News" - June 23, 1928 This page satirizes contemporary news stories through short commentaries and cartoons. The **top cartoon** depicts editors reviewing photographs, mocking sensationalism in journalism. The **text items** include: - A joke about Dr. Karpchenko crossing a cabbage with radish (absurdist science mockery) - Criticism of Prohibition Commissioner Doran's uniform distinction proposal - Commentary on Japan's Prime Minister Kellogg's peace proposal being misunderstood as rejecting states' self-defense rights - A claim about French scientists discovering "zones of silence" over the sea where radio broadcasts cannot be heard - A Brazilian scientist's claim that whiskey is "not an antidote for snake bite" The **bottom cartoon** illustrates "Another American Tragedy": a youth bringing a flask to a dance—satirizing Prohibition-era youth culture and illegal alcohol consumption as a social problem.
