What you’re looking at

**Top Cartoon: "Sensitive on That Point"** A courtroom scene where a lawyer (identified as "Lawyer Bum") addresses Judge Campbell. The lawyer is trying to present a case to the jury, but Judge Campbell interrupts dismissively, saying he'll fine the lawyer $10 for contempt rather than hear arguments. The satire mocks judicial impatience or bias—suggesting some judges shut down lawyers they find annoying or whose cases they prejudge, rather than permitting proper legal argument. **Text Content Below:** The page includes commentary on the China-Japan War, interview material about an industrial figure named Mr. Lung, humorous anecdotes about a young man courting ("Phelinda"), and a poem titled "Waiting for One" about a woman preparing her summer wardrobe hopefully. The overall tone is light satirical commentary on legal, social, and romantic matters of the era.
