The Labourite. Mr. James Maxton, declared the acts of sabotage were not committed to serve the ends of any Leftist party in Great Britain.

What's the

difference between

a Cricket Ball and

a good Whisky?

"A cricket ball," said Johnnie Walker, taking one in his hand, “has got a seam-you can see and feel where the join comes-and so it is with poorly blended whiskies. But a good whisky Like Johnnie Walker is somewhat like a billiard ball, perfectly round, perfectly smooth; the blends of rare whiskies are so skilfully * married " that there are no 'edges' to the whisky. "It's always worth while saying 'A Johnnie Walker, .please,' instead of ‘A whisky-and-soda,'”
