# "Judging the News" - September 20, 1930 The main cartoon shows a figure labeled "PRIMO" (likely Primo Carnera, the heavyweight boxer) delivering what appears to be a wrecking ball to a domestic interior. Two other figures react in alarm—one reading, one gesturing frantically. The caption reads "Take a letter to the Drinka Water people!!!" The joke satirizes Carnera's devastating boxing power by suggesting his mere presence causes household destruction comparable to a wrecking ball. The reference to "Drinka Water" is unclear but may be a brand name relevant to 1930s advertising. The page's editorial section ("Judging the News") above contains brief commentary on President Coolidge's policies, medical science advances, and international naval treaties—typical early Depression-era political observations.
