A UNIVERSAL DICTURE

The aerial torpedo is operated on the basis of a small robot monoplane, complete with engine and wings.

Robot Torpedo "The real difference from my machine and a small plane," he said "lies in the starting device. the It is really a projectile in early stages of the flight but main- tains speed and altitude by means of its own power.

"The robot mechanism is In- fallible, simple and accurate. It en be set to drop the bomb on any particular spot within 500 miles radius. The torpedo I have designed in intended to be about 17ft. long, and would develop a speed in excess of 300 miles in hour. It would have tremendous destructive power when it landed on its objective."

Mr. Allen pointed out that his

new machine gun can be operated with a speed 10 times as great as that of the best guns now in use. "Their capacity is about 600

rounds a minute," he declared.

CLIVE BROOK JOINS THE EXODUS London, Aug. 26. WE

WHILE British film stars are crossing the Atlantic in search of game, Clive Brook has come home to stay.

The significance of Brook's decision to settle in Eng- land is not an Englishman's natural hunger for his native "My run can fire at least 5,000 fields and hedges, but confidence, in the future of British rounds, and this is capable of be ing speeded up to far greater films, which he believes will outstrip all others in three

There's Nothing Like It!

BEER AS REMEDY

FOR GERMS

Beer-or, at any rate, beer as they brew it in England- will prevent disease germs breeding and so, in time, will kill them.

This has been discovered by Dr. T. K. Walker, a Manchester re- search chemist. He has spent the past 14 years studying hops and beer. He has found that beer is definitely antiseptic.

"We have devised a method of measuring the antiseptic strength of hops," says Dr. Walker.

"This shows that, weight for weight, the humolon (antiseptic agent) in hops is forty times as powerful as pure phenol or car- bolle ueld in suppressing those types of bacterial growth. which cause beer to turn sour

"My researches show conclusive- ly that it is largely due to hops i that, from the bacterial point of view, beer is the safest drink in the world. The more bitter the hops used in the making of the beer the stronger its antiseptic value is likely to be."

---Says Doctor

Leicester, Aug. 25. The exchange of bealth certificates by young people before they finally decide to marry was urged to-day by Dr. C. Killick Millard,,medi- cal officer. of health for Leicester,

"At this stage of public opinion," he said to-night, "such an exchange could not be made compulsory. But registrars and ministers could do much to persuade young people to do it voluntarily. "People would then into marriage-or draw back, perhaps with their wide open, knowing of any constitutional defetts to which their children' might be heirs."

"I have said for years that Britain will eventually make films that will not only stand comparison with Hollywood, but in some respects go miles fur- ther," he declared. British films

have not reached that point yet,

but they are on the way,

England has some of the best playwrights in the world, splen- dld actors, and a romantic mine of genuine historical and con- temporary material.

"It is obvious that Hollywood thinks of British themes by the number of tremendous pictures

built on them.
