# Judge Magazine - "Judging the News" (February 5, 1929) This satirical column comments on contemporary news items. The main cartoon depicts a domestic chaos scene with a woman exasperatedly asking "Hang it, Marg, why do you always have to be re-arranging the living room chairs?" The humor appears to satirize women's domestic habits and the exhaustion of husbands—a common 1920s trope. The accompanying text references police traffic enforcement (Commissioner Whalen straightening Manhattan's traffic), Henry Ford's factory production claims, and the Salvation Army taking action during an unspecified conflict. The specific news events are unclear without additional historical context, but the page exemplifies Judge's characteristic commentary mixing domestic comedy with contemporary events.
