# "Judging the News" - October 21, 1925 This satirical commentary page combines editorial commentary with a cartoon illustration. The text references President Coolidge proclaiming "Fire Prevention Week," a co-ed from Durham, N.H. setting a world record, and Aristide Briand's revelation of a secret treaty between Britain and France. The main cartoon depicts a domestic scene: a man lies on the floor surrounded by broken household items and furniture, while a woman stands nearby. The caption reads: "Full of fun, your wife is." "Yes, she's a riot!" The joke satirizes marital discord—what appears to be destruction or chaos is being euphemistically described as "fun." It's a commentary on domestic conflict treated as entertainment, typical of Judge's irreverent humor about American middle-class life.
