# "Judging the News" - December 6, 1930 This page contains brief satirical commentary on recent news items alongside a cartoon. The visible jokes mock political figures and institutions: references to Coolidge's idleness, a statesman's plan to spend $6 million reclaiming farmland, party leaders' post-election "huddles," complaints about lack of mass buying, and a revolution at a Spanish-American restaurant. The main cartoon depicts a domestic scene: a man in formal wear appears caught between two women arguing, with the caption "Hey, where ya goin'?" / "Sh-h-h. I forgot to put on my trunks." This is likely a marital infidelity joke, suggesting the man is sneaking away for an illicit encounter. The cartoon's humor relies on 1930s social conventions around propriety and marriage.
