# Analysis of Judge Magazine Page This page contains two unrelated satirical items: **"Still More Things I'm Not Interested In"** (left): Carroll Carroll's humorous essay lists contemporary annoyances—fur coats, motors, stock market tips, chorus girls, and poetry by college students. It reflects 1920s consumer culture anxieties and complaints about modern life. **"The endurance flyers put the cat out"** (top right): A surreal cartoon mocking early aviation stunts. The sketch shows a cat being ejected from an airplane, captioned as a joke about endurance flights—a popular 1920s aviation fad where pilots competed for long-distance records. The humor suggests these flights were so tedious that even pets couldn't tolerate them. **"Christopher, my smelling salts!"** (bottom): An automobile accident cartoon depicting a car crash into a tree, likely satirizing reckless driving.

England has bank holi in this country we have that close for whole seasons, some private banks that permanently. Then there was the doctor who cured a patient of a severe case of hiccoughs by searing him. He told him he'd probably have them “Christopher, my smelling sa'ts!” —R. C. O'Brien
