What you’re looking at
This page is primarily **advertising and a bridge card game puzzle**, not political satire. The main content features "Problem 12, Series 2" of the **Lenz Problems**—a bridge card game competition conducted by Sidney S. Lenz, a famous bridge expert. The puzzle shows a bridge hand and asks contestants to solve it, with prizes ranging from playing cards to a Judge magazine subscription to an autographed bridge book. The accompanying portrait and greeting "How Good Is Your Bridge Game?" introduce Lenz as the puzzle's authority. The page includes two advertisements: one for **Clark's Auction Bridge Tiles** and another for **Moon Aerotype**, a self-lubricating automobile chassis made by Moon Motor Car Company of St. Louis. This reflects Judge's audience: educated readers interested in card games and automobiles—typical leisure pursuits for the magazine's middle- to upper-class readership.
