What you’re looking at
This 1929 Judge page contains two distinct satirical pieces: **"Hockey Prospects for 1929"** is a rambling column mocking women's hockey, describing female players with exaggerated stereotypes—one supposedly beat a policeman with a slung-shot after he questioned her "forward" appearance. The piece satirizes both women's athletic participation and the author's pretended disapproval. A sidebar joke references "Daylight Saving and Cake Crumbs Law," mocking government efficiency schemes by absurdly suggesting cake-crumb waste justifies time shifts. **"Embarrassing Moments"** is an advertisement (paying $5 per accepted submission) inviting readers to submit comic scenarios about social awkwardness—here illustrated by a woman in a bathtub discovering her blind is open to neighboring apartments. The solution? Light a Murad cigarette to appear nonchalant. This is pure product advertising disguised as reader participation content. Both pieces reflect 1920s attitudes: skepticism toward women's independence, absurdist political satire, and advertising-as-entertainment.

Now under Daylight Saving—or to give it its full name, Daylight Saving and Cake Crumbs Law—there will be no more wasteful expenditure of cake crumbs and the government will reap all that extra revenue. It looks like a good thing for the layman.
