Air Torpedo Has Range Of 500 Miles
REVOLUTIONARY WAR WEAPONS
AN
London, Aug. 25.
N aerial torpedo with a range of 500 miles and a machine gun capable of firing 5,000 rounds a minute have been invented by a London man, who claims that if adopt- ed by the Government they. would revolutionise modern warfaro.
He is Mr. R. W. Allen, who during the war served. in the Lewis gun section and who had been studying guns and gunnery for the past ten years. Mr. Allen is an engineer and has had a number of his inventions patented.
"I am hoping that the Govern- aerial ment will take over my
Jeann plana torpedo and machine and manufacture the weapons for wur own use in case of War," he said,
Mr. Allen is hanilicapped at pre- Rent by two things. They are lack of capital to construct working models of his inventions, and fear that someone will get to know the secrets-of-his-plans.
The aerial torpedo is operated on the basis of small robot monoplane, complete with engine and wings.
Robot Torpedo
"The real difference, from my machine and a small plane," he said "ies in the starting device. It is really a projectile in the early stages of the light but main- tains speed and altitude by means of its own power..
"The robot mechanism is in fallible, simple and accurate.
It
can be set to drop the bomb on any particular spot within 500 miles radius. The torpedo I have designed is intended to be about 17ft. long, and would develop a speed in excess of 300 miles an hour. It would have tremendous destructive power when it landed on its objectivo."
Mr. Allen pointed out that his new machine gun can be operated
'with a speed 10 times as great as

There's Nothing Like It!
BEER AS REMEDY
FOR GERMS
Beer-or, at any rate, beer as they brew it in England will prevent diacase germs breeding and so, in time, will kill them.

This has been discovered by Dr. T. K. Walker, a Bianchester re- search chemist. He has spent thei 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," anys Dr. Walker.
"This shows that, weight for weight, the humolon (antiseptic agent) in hops is forty times as powerful as pure phenol or car bolic acid 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 j 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
years.
