# "Judging the News" - August 14, 1928 This satirical page critiques recent news stories through editorial commentary and illustration. The main cartoon depicts a social gathering where a woman in revealing attire is the subject of discussion. The caption reads: "She's quite zippy, isn't she?" / "Yes—she moves in the best triangles!" This appears to be mockery of 1920s social morality and the "modern woman"—likely referencing both the scandalous "love triangle" affairs that dominated society gossip, and the flapper culture's challenge to Victorian propriety. The page's text addresses other topics: Russian executions, New Jersey fireworks safety violations, Pennsylvania coal-mine labor disputes, and Chicago pedestrian deaths. The overall tone suggests Judge magazine used humor to commentary on contemporary social anxieties—moral decay, industrial hazards, and evolving gender norms during the Jazz Age.
