What you’re looking at
# Explanation of Judge Page Content This page satirizes early 1930s news stories through short commentary pieces and a cartoon. **"Judging the News"** section mocks: - Congressional discovery of a new planet (likely astronomical news) - New York professional criminals ("amateurs" despite their capabilities) - Prohibition enforcement (Wets vs. Drys debate about wet/dry counties) - Commander Byrd's Antarctic expedition and cigarette promotion - President Hoover's commission appointments **Main cartoon** titled "Here's the Cuban Heels You Ordered, Miss" depicts a cobbler workshop scene where Carl the cobbler has apparently delivered the wrong item to a woman customer. The humor plays on the 1920s-30s fashion trend of "Cuban heels" (a shoe style), with the cobbler's confusion or mishap creating comedic confusion. The detailed caption suggests a domestic misunderstanding about footwear orders.
