JUDGES OF 1 COCKTAILS
TOO MANY TO SAMPLE. . UNABLE TO GIVE DECISION. (United Press Association.), (By Electric Telegraph— Copyright.) • PARIS, December 3. (Received Dec., 4, at 5.5 p.m.) “ Sober as a judge ’’ i 8 no longer a true phrase when judges make the acquaintance op cocktails. Such awesome names as >Knock-me-d(jwn,” “ Six-cylinder,” ‘‘Lyddite Lucy,” and “Satan’s Sting’ are only a few of the dozens of new concoctions served up in a fashionable Paris hotel, where 400 guests had to judge a cocktail competition organised by ■' two Parisian newspapers. It was no light ordeal, and it was not surprising that, as the afternoon wore on, some of the judges became hilarious and othersgreen and pallid, while the women discreetly vanished. When the last mysterious mixture was quaffed all sense iof discrimination was gone, and nobody was able to give a coherent opinion, so a decision was postponed.—Australian Press Association.
