# Judge Magazine, February 19, 1929 This page is titled "Judging the News" and consists of brief satirical commentary on current events rather than a political cartoon. The main illustration shows a car stuck in a ford (shallow river crossing) with occupants splashing through water. The caption reads "Hiker—Lions! They said to cross at the Old Ford!" This is a visual pun: the hikers were directed to "cross at the Old Ford" (a safe crossing point), but instead encountered an actual ford (geological feature) where their automobile became stuck. The brief news items above comment on topics including: Dartmouth football injuries, cigarette industry practices, Hollywood casting offices offering money for people with unusual pets, and references to Prohibition enforcement under what appears to be Herbert Hoover's administration. These are standard satirical jabs at contemporary institutions and policies.
