# Analysis of Judge Magazine Page This page from Judge magazine contains three distinct pieces of satire: 1. **"Lost Articles" cartoon**: Shows a man at a lost-and-found desk, with the caption asking if anyone turned in a bottle of "Golden Wedding rye whiskey." This satirizes Prohibition-era alcohol smuggling and the absurdity of claiming lost contraband. 2. **"College Characters" profile**: Describes a Dartmouth Junior who classifies girls, loves Tom Jones and William Haines (a silent film star), and jokingly values college for "contacts you make" rather than education. This mocks shallow college culture and materialism. 3. **"Why Bring That Up?"**: Political satire suggesting the Treasury Secretary should reduce postal deficits by having postage stamps feature jokes about Woodin (likely Secretary William Woodin). The bull-pup cartoon below appears unrelated social humor about lawyers.

College Characters Tre Dartmoutu JUNxtow E divides all girls into two classes, those who neck, and those who don't and upon questioning will admit that he, himself, has never had a date with one of the latter. He is a little suspicious about any one who quotes poetry. L His favorite character in literature is Tom Jones who was quite a boy with the women. His chief topic of conversation is the party he was on the night before. He is rather hazy about what he is going to do after leaving college, but he thinks he'd like to go into the advertising business or something like that. He y fond of the movies and his favorite per- former is William Haines. He has a different slang expression for women each month, his choice depending pretty much on his mood and the latest picture he has seen. He has a picture of Joan Bennett on his mantelpiece which he cut out of Vanity Fair. He thinks that the value of a college education is not in what you learn but in the contacts you make. His most humiliating experience is the time he was heard to refer to a tuck as a dinner jacket. His contempt for any one who does not play bridge is indescribable. He very often jokingly refers to Hanover, New “Did anyone turn ina battle of Hampshire, as Hangover, New Hampshire. Golden Wedding rye whiskey?” —ARTHUR SILVERBLATT Why Bring That Up? WwW wish that newspape' Would stick to their news, And not print last year's Finan reviews. The new secretary of the treasury should be a big help to F in ending the postal deficit. Think of the millions of gag writers who'll spend three cent stamps sending magazine jokes about Woodin nickels. We know a fellow who has such a swelled head that he’s thinking of joining the navy to let the world see him. Yes, it’s a futile existence. The younger generation is headed for hell and the older generation is " headed for the poorhouse. BULL-pUr—Hurry up, get a lawyer, quick! 6
