# Analysis of Judge Magazine Page This page contains three separate humor sections typical of Judge magazine's format: **"One-arm Traffic Court"** satirizes a traffic officer citing a driver for speeding, joking that the country needs "an absent-minded installment collector" rather than traffic enforcement. **"School Days (1928 Autumn Model)"** humorously describes mischievous schoolchildren's antics—bending elbows, pocket flasks, and automotive references ("I choose to go")—suggesting Prohibition-era youth behavior and the famous Henry Ford quote about Model Ts. **"Can't Miss It"** presents a dialogue joke about tuning radio stations. The bottom cartoon depicts an old-time filling station attendant refusing to serve a customer's car, with the caption playing on gasoline terminology. The illustrations are typical ink sketches from this 1928 Judge issue, reflecting period humor about automobiles, Prohibition, and youth culture.
