# "Judging the News" - January 1933 This page satirizes contemporary news events through brief editorial comments and a cartoon. **The cartoon** depicts a domestic scene where a woman urgently tells a man ("dad") to move a drunk man ("sober Helen up before the boys get here"). It jokes about priorities during Prohibition's final days—with alcohol illegal but apparently still present in homes. **The editorial snippets** mock various topics: Japan's budget deficit, Europe's militarism, business receiverships, share-the-work employment schemes, and scientists' Mars plans. The hockey player illustrations at the top appear decorative rather than directly related to the page content. The overall tone is cynical commentary on Depression-era politics and social hypocrisy, particularly regarding Prohibition enforcement as the era neared its repeal.
