# "Judging the News" - July 26, 1920 This page satirizes contemporary social issues through several short commentary pieces and a cartoon by Donald McKee. The cartoon depicts a motorist asking pedestrians, "Hain't seen a swarm of bees passin' this way, her ye?" This appears to reference the widespread concern about escaped or wild bee swarms during the period—a genuine public hazard of the era. The accompanying text snippets mock various topics: the census's failure to track commissions, outboard motors' dual purpose, Prohibition enforcement challenges, transatlantic aviators' unpredictability, and changing spending habits causing business slumps. The overall tone treats these diverse issues—from bees to aviation to economics—with lighthearted skepticism, typical of Judge's satirical approach to contemporary life.

Prohibition may be here to. stay, but it ns that a lot of the enforce- ment heads aren't. Flies and mosquitoes really don’t get all they should out of the summer vacation period. So many of them, at resorts, spend so much of their time indoors, A finar slump v ial writer says the business change in our spending M, anyhow, a in our spending habits has been caused by the slump. change JUDGE, Volume 1879.
