This page contains two distinct sections: **Left side - Bridge Problem Contest:** Sidney Lenz, a renowned bridge champion, presents "Problem 10, Series 2" of his instructional bridge problems for Judge magazine's readers. Contestants submit solutions analyzing card play strategy, with prizes including Russell's Aristocrat playing cards, bridge tiles, and a Judge magazine subscription. This reflects bridge's popularity as a parlor game among early 20th-century middle and upper-class Americans. **Right side - Travel Advertisement:** A full-page ad for Thomas Cook & Son promoting a Mediterranean cruise aboard the s.s. Homeric, departing January 26th. The romantic language ("eternal landscape of the past," "golden with the aura of romance") and destinations listed (Cadiz, Monte Carlo, Bethlehem, the Nile) appeal to affluent travelers seeking cultural tourism and exotic experiences—typical aspirational advertising for Judge's readership during the prosperous 1920s. No political satire appears on this page; it's primarily content and advertising.
