# Analysis of Judge Magazine Page This page combines satirical cartoons with period advertisements. **"Lost by a Nose"** (left): A humorous cartoon about losing a horse race, featuring two jockeys. The satire targets gambling and racetrack culture, common leisure pursuits of the era. Sir Walter Raleigh tobacco is advertised below, positioning smoking as a gentleman's consolation for losses. **"Have You a Little Husband in the Home?"** (center): By Kitty McKay, this satirizes wives managing unemployed husbands during what appears to be Depression-era unemployment. The advice—keeping idle husbands busy with errands and tasks—reflects period gender roles and anxieties about male idleness and economic instability. **"Watch Your Step!"** (right): A public health warning about athlete's foot fungus, promoting Absorbine Jr. treatment. This reflects early 20th-century concerns about contagious foot conditions in gyms and communal bathing facilities. The page mixes social commentary with consumer advertising typical of Judge's format.

By Kitty McKay CIENTISTS have been experiment- ing with Unemployed Husbands and they find that the average mental age of the husband in the home is eight years. So we wives of the Unemployed must reconstruct our attitudes. We are deal- ing with a child, and not a gr i lazy fellow who reads the paper and throws his cigarette ashes any place. No, this is a little chap in quar- antine, away from the other boys and the routine of school days. We must keep him busy and happy. How? First of all he must start the day in an awful rush. If he doesn’t he in- stinctively thinks it’s Sunday and the rest of the day is shot. Make him take Johnny to school or the dog for a walk or get a paper. He will prefer a nine o'clock duty for that will allow him his old routine of bolting breakfast, looking hurriedly over the mail and glancing at his watch. A hasty kiss, and he is off. Result: he has that pleasant, familiar touch of indigestion and the old feeling that the world won't move without him. This first step accomplished he can dash back to his office. The home office may be a room or just a desk but it’s the equipment that is really important. A ily Engagement pad, plenty of paper a phone, some sort of file and if possible rig up the dining room buzzer for him so that you can be summoned without his having to bellow down the hall. Also, there should be piles of let- ters, preferably on paper that rattles a good bit, and assorted ledgers, check books and so on. You start the Husband off by filling his Engagement Pad with little duties that correspond to the hours of the busi- ness day. There must, of course, be some variety. If, for instance, 9:30 is Make Be t the next day at 9:30 sa “Refer File.” He will then refer to data on collecting laundry, ete. You see, the little fellow is anxious and willing to help. He just has to do it his own way and without that su- perior wifely supervision. He is in the position of superior. He can buzz for you and discuss that Wrong Bath Towel in a business like way. Now there is the problem of errands. Maybe you used to assume that he had nothing to do and so could run over to the A&P for the bread you forgot to order, “Honey,—you're just sitting there reading the paper. Do you mind get- ting dressed (with ill-concealed venom) and running over to the store? I for- got to order bread and we'll have to have it for lunch.” Well, you know how that usually turns out. The office way is to have regular (Page 24, please) 1 WATCH YOUR /ARATTLER WARNS— ATHLETE’S FOOT DOESN'T ‘OUR chances of meeting the fellow in this picture are, probably, not many. His nerve-jarring whir-r-r is confined to few | localities. But, spread through every state in the Union, in homes and in clubs, is a dreaded | fungus which lies in wait for your unwary barefoot step. A threat In your own home This fungus spins its invisible web of misery across your path. It chooses the very places you go for cleanliness: your own bathroom, the decks of swimming pools, diving boards, shower baths at gym or club. You step unknowingly on the web And, shortly you notice itching between your toes. White blisters appear. Excessive mois- ture, redness, swelling, pain—any of these signs may mean you are a victim of Athlcte’s Foot. But—speed in treatment will rescue you Once tinea trichophyton (the fungus) has imbedded itself deeply, dire results and a long hard job are ahead of you. But—tests by a famed laboratory prove that within thirty seconds after it has penetrated to the fungus, Absorbine Jr. kills it and with it the menace. Inspect your feet every night, especially during warm weather. At the first sign douse on cooling, soothing Absorbine Jr. night and morning. Do not stop treatment until all danger is past.
