# Analysis of Judge Page **Top Section ("Such Men, Indeed, Are Dangerous"):** This appears to be a humorous advice column satirizing dangerous or foolish suggestions. The quotes mock various scenarios—unsafe driving, fixing problems through connections, and dismissing concerns about flying. The final quote attributes these "dangerous" ideas to David S. Lehman, likely a public figure of the era. **Bottom Section ("And No Charge for Waiting"):** A story about Tony Tagliarini, a taxi driver who saved for seven years to open a spaghetti restaurant. When opening day arrives, he panics over pricing. A cabbie suggests "fifteen cents for the first quarter of a mile; per cent for each additional quarter"—applying taxi rates to spaghetti portions. The joke satirizes absurd business logic by inappropriately mixing industries.

Our own straw poll on prohibition seems to indicate that more straws than ever are being used. Twisted Tessie has the idea that Al Capone is a member of the Racquet Club.
