# "Judging the News" - December 12, 1928 This satirical column features four commentary pieces on contemporary issues: 1. **Navy shipbuilding**: Critiques the Navy Department's plan to maintain and operate a second naval base, suggesting it wastes resources. 2. **Women's feet**: References the I. Miller Shoe Company's claim that women's feet have grown two sizes larger than 25 years prior—mocking this as exaggerated marketing. 3. **Crime investigation**: Suggests New York City officials should organize a "clean-up week" targeting bandits, implying current law enforcement is ineffective. 4. **The cartoon**: Depicts a burglar attempting to steal from a home while the owner sleeps, captioned "Shopper—Now, to get it inside without her seeing it!" The joke satirizes spousal conflict over purchases or infidelity, typical of period domestic humor.
