An official circular, commenting on the presentation at the Scala, in film form, of The Crisis, by Mr. Winston Churchill, the American novelist, adds the interesting statement, "the author is of course a distant cousin of the Right Hon.

Some mufti!
"When the Lord Provost ruled that the mater was not urgent, the Labourists created something of a scene."—Glasgow Citizen.
Quite justifiably, in view of the imminence of "Baby Week."
