# Judge Magazine Page Analysis (April 28, 1936) This page contains several brief satirical commentaries on contemporary issues: - **Marriage legislation**: New York is preparing laws to end marriages deemed unsuitable; the joke is that under new restrictions, no one will be permitted to marry. - **Radio/League of Nations**: A radio speaker notes nothing stops wars unless nations join the League to enforce peace. - **Salaries and preachers**: Commentary that salary increases don't help the country when preachers spread discord. - **Stock market**: References everyday investors discovering nothing gains on ground floors—a depression-era joke about market collapse. - **Wooden Indians**: A quip that you won't find wooden Indians in cigar stores anymore; they're all in department stores as complaint managers. The **cartoon** shows a gypsy fortune teller's caravan with a man saying he "ran short of milk" on "last trip"—likely a humorous domestic situation, though context is unclear.
