# Analysis of Judge Magazine Page This page contains two satirical cartoons and a poem about beer. **"Light Whines For Beer"** is a poem by Norman R. Jaffray lamenting the decline of German beer quality, specifically mentioning Milwaukee beer (then famous for German immigrant breweries). The verses nostalgically reference Schlitz and Pabst brands while complaining that modern American beer lacks the character of authentic German brews. **"No, Never!"** criticizes New York police and their families for not being ostentatiously vulgar like "the newly-rich"—implying police maintained dignified, modest behavior despite their positions. The two cartoons below illustrate these themes: one shows a chaotic automobile scene, the other depicts a man struggling to control a large elephant, captioned "I'll remember this!"—likely satirizing difficulty controlling something powerful, possibly relating to Prohibition or regulatory challenges of the era.
