# "Judging the News" - February 11, 1930 This satirical column comments on contemporary events. The main cartoon depicts Scottish men in kilts entering a "No-Pants Suits" clothing store—a visual pun playing on the Scots' traditional dress. The joke references a chain clothing store opening a Scottish branch, with the irony being that kilts are the Scottish national garment, making "no-pants suits" redundant or absurd for that market. The text above discusses a California scientist's atomic theory, Naval Conferences, Prohibition enforcement (referencing Chicago police and King George), and Mr. La Guardia's views on the Eighteenth Amendment. These represent typical early 1930s American concerns: scientific advancement, military policy, and alcohol prohibition debates.
