H.G. Wells More Than New Var
But He Is Willing to
Point to Old Forecast
of One in 40.

Fl. G.. Wells was reading Northwest
Passage" on a flight from Newark to
Washington yesterday.
The war whoops of tomahawk-armed
Iroquois and all the blood-curdling de-
tails of frontier battles were in his
mind as he stepped from the plane at
Washington Airport, the green-bound
volume of the years best seller un-
der his arm, to bump into determined
company of interviewers.
The transition from reverie over old
wars to predictions of the next war
was obviously unwelcome to the Brit
ish novelist and historian, and he pre-
ferred to pass it off with the comment
that Northwest Passage" was grand
book and that Gone With the Wind"
was a wonderful book"
AS for the next war-on the run
through barrage of the flashing bulbs
of photographers-Mr Wells called
attention to his prophecy of some
years ago that the great world con-

SEES CHALLENGE
FOR DEMOCRACY
Sir WiIImott Lewis Cites Re-
adjustments NeCessitated
by Industrial World.

A scientific and industrial world is
now challenging the concepts of de-
mocracy, Sir Willmott Lewis, Washing
ton correspondent of the London
Times, told a meeting of the Laymen's
League at the Church of the Epiphany
last night.
Sir Willmott specified communism
and totalitarianiSm as two theories of
government which ultimately deny"
the principles both of democracy and
of Christianity.
There have been three great
changes in the history of the world"
the speaker said. 'They are the
advent of Christianity, the advent of
democracy and the advent of in
dustrialism, or the scientific age.
Originally both Christianity and de-
mocrs<y were challenges to the world.
More recently the world has become
a challenge to them"
Because of the interdependence of
the individual and his fellows as a
result of industrialism, he said, free
dom of the individual can be found
ealy in service to others.
THE problem of conflict between
material progress, which has meant the
submersion of the individual, and
civilization, whose aim is the har-
mcnious development of the individual
has its answer in the political and
religious faiths professed by the Eng
liSh and Americans" he said.
This problem is reflected, he added,
in the strife and friction which arises
from protecting the rights of the indi-
vidual in the great urban centers of
the world where mass activities are
indispensable.

Now Americans develop new,

With the discovery of the Chinese
drug Ephedrine, science took great
step forward in its fight against head
colds! When you have head-cold,
the membranes of your nose become
swollen, thus interfering with normal
breathing. Ephedrine has the remark
able power to shrink almost instantly
these swollen, irTitated membranes
thus tending to clear the nasal passa-
ges, make normal breathing easier.
Now comes a new and important
development in the use of this mar
velous drug! The makers of REM for
Coughs have perfected a remarkable
Ephedrine prescription for use in re-
heving head-colds. 1t is called REL.
REL combines special form of
Ephedrine with another valuable in
gredient. In step with advanced med
ical opinion, REL is water soluble"

with the watery secretions of the nose.

Place Seems To Be
 In Front Of Microphone
BY NORMAN SIEGEL NEA Service Special Writer

New York, July 29--The hand that used to rock the cradle is now holding a radio script, for the modern wom- ans place appears to be in the broadcasting studio as well as the home, particularly if her husband is on the airwaves.
 Peering behind the microphone you discover large family Of hus- band and wife acts. And most of them are the top-notch perfor- mers of the kilocycles. Perhaps it is because radio is form of home entertainment from the listeners standpoint-or you can just say that this condition exists in radio because artists of the airlales are blessed with exceptionally talented wives.
 Husband and wife acts are not new entertainment fad. Vaude- vile had them by the dozens, for troupers married and continued acts they used to do when they were single. In radio, however most of them enter the ethereal fold well on the way to marriage anni- versaries.
