# "Judging the News" - Judge Magazine, March 1932 This page features editorial commentary and a cartoon satirizing contemporary issues during the Great Depression era. The main cartoon depicts a woman (Penelope) waiting for a side-car, telling her mother "Believe it or not, Mother, I'm waiting for a side-car"—likely mocking the economic desperation of the period, where people cobbled together unusual transportation solutions. The text columns reference: Presidential candidates "throwing their hats in the ring"; New York police cars equipped with "radio" (emerging technology); a Winter Olympics bobsled team; Stock Exchange positions; Southern winter resorts facing business collapse due to the depression; and a new subway system with operational problems. The overall tone critiques both the absurdities of political campaigning and the widespread economic disruption affecting American life in early 1932.
