# "Judging the News" - November 13, 1928 This satirical page mocks current events through brief quips and cartoons: **Top strip**: Silhouettes of various people performing absurd acts illustrate the section's title. **Main cartoon**: A man (likely a border guard or official) watches in shock as his wife drives a car wildly across what appears to be the Canada-U.S. border, with explosive effects. The caption reads "Cop—Gosh, I'm sunk! It's me wife I bawled out!" **Context**: The cartoon references Washington's recent orders to patrol the Detroit River to stop smuggling into Canada—likely related to Prohibition enforcement. The joke plays on a guard being caught in an embarrassing personal situation while on duty at the border. The accompanying text items mock King George's enjoyment of Ford jokes, a chicken farmer's X-ray egg scheme, and offer hunting safety advice.
