FRANCE WILL CREATE ARTISTIC COCKTAILS| Scotch Newspaper Man Wins First Prize for Ace of the Shaker. PARIS (P).—Cocktails, once reviled in France as a typically low foreign im- portation, have become so popular that a’French newspaper is backing French- made cocktails against the world, In a recent contest, arranged for charity, first prize was won by a Scotch newspaper man. The newspaper Paris- Midi disagreed with the decision and promoted a new contest, to be held early in December. Huge prizes were offered. The newspaper admitted that the Americans, with their longer experience at mixing, held a strong advantage, but expressed the belief that the traditional imagination and enthusiasm of the French, combined with a stronger artis- tic sense, would enable a Frenchman to win the title of “ace of the shaker.” Old lovers of wine still oppose the cocktail on the ground that, taken be- fore a good meal, the heavy alcohols of s composition numb the palate and prevent the real appreciation of the delicate wine flavor and bouquet.
