# Analysis of Judge Magazine Page (July 19, 1929) The main cartoon satirizes judicial proceedings. A judge sits elevated at the bench while attorneys argue below, with the caption: "But, Judge, couldn't you make it the first two weeks in August?" This appears to reference frustration with court scheduling—likely attorneys requesting to delay proceedings until August, presumably for summer vacation or recess. The joke mocks the judicial system's accommodation of convenience over justice. The editorial section above, "Judging the News," contains brief satirical commentary on contemporary issues: aviation safety, university marriages, and chemical agriculture. One item references President Hoover and someone named Lowman resigning, though details remain unclear without additional historical context. The overall tone critiques both legal inefficiency and current political/social matters through humor.

Lenz JUDGING THE NEWS There is a new danger in avia- tion nowadays. An aviator com- ing down on a field after making a new record is liable to collide with others just starting out to break it. Now that a university profes- sor has advised wale graduates ry the boss’ daughter, co-eds, we. ima- to become snobs and m gine, will go them one better and marry the boss. According to our Assistant Secretary of the Treasury, a project is now under considera- tion for the erection of a ten-mil- lion-dollar barbed wire fence along the Canadian border. Mil- lions for defense, but not one cent for tribute! And as President Hoover has denied that Mr. Lowman was asked to resign, it appears that our chief executive is still satis- fied with “The Man Behind the Guns.” At a recent chemical conven- tion, a prediction was made that American farmers would eventu- ally find relief through chemistry rather than politics, American bootleggers, however, have found considerable relief throu both. The man who used to wear both a belt and suspenders, now has a daughter who wears noth ing else and cally them her swim- ining suit. v East 48th St jon 3 of the Copyright
