SINUS HEADACHE?

Sinus headaches usually attack be-
tween the temples over the eyes. You
often find tender spots if you press q
finger on your forehead in this sinus
area.
Don't tinker with sinus headache.
Don't dope" yourself with headache
powders or tablets. Medical authori-
ties clearly prescribe the pleasant,
easy-to-use nasal douche. A million en-
thusiastic people say Sinasiptec in
warm water is ideal. At first use this
several times day; then morning and
night till the condition has cleared up
perfectly.
This treatment makes wonderful
difference in the way you feel. You can
breathe freely. Your head is CLEAR.
Sinasiptec is the discovery of a St.

RESERVE ACTS
OVERHAUL|NG
PROPOSED
Sec. Mellon, Eugene Meyer
and John Pole See Need, OF
Asking Changes Of Congress

Conviction that the American
banking structure must be over
hauled drastically and certain pro-
visions of the Federal Reserve act
brought up to date" were ex-
pressed officially today.
Secretary Mellon is considering
the situation along with Eugene
Meyer, jr., governor Of the Fed
eral Reserve Board; Comptroller
of the Currency j. w. Pole and
other experts, and may have
recommendations for submission
to Congress in December.
Pole already has predicted
that branch banking legislation
should be approved by the next
Congress.
Congress probably will be
asked to liberalize the provisions
of the Federal Reserve act regu-
lating loans reserve banks may
make. This would tend to
broaden the list Of securities
eligible for rediscount by the
reserve banks.

OFFICIALS HELD
RESPONSIBLE
FORERRORS
United Press Chief Praises
Washington's Reporters
As Jealous for Accuracy

Any inaccuracies in stories
written by Washington reporters
and correspondents for local and
outside papers are due largely to
evasiveneSs, vagueness, silence or
actual misleading statements on
the part Of officials responsible
for public information about their
offices, in the opinion Of Ray.
mond Clapper, manager of the
Washington Bureau Of the Uniteo
Press Association.
In an address prepared for de.
livery today at the weekly lunch.
con of the Advertising Club of
Washington, the head of the local
Scripps-H Howard news bureau went
on record as favoring complete
frankness to correspondents on
the part of public officials.
None More Capable
There are no correspondents
anywhere more capable, brilliant
and jealous for accuracy than
those in Washington, and the in.
stances when they have really
"miSquOted" statesmen have been
few, despite the common charge
made by officials who grow sud.
denly timid after seeing their
statements in print, in Mr.. Clap
per's opinion.
The chief charge which he lays
at the door of Spokesmen here is
a strange reticence, an attempt
at evasion, a vagueness of utter.
ance. half.truths which require
Interpretation for the public
mind.
This attitude has become more
pronounced Of late in administra.
tive circles, and because it leaves
to reporters the difficult job Of
Interpretation and translation, it
is natural, Mr.. Clapper contends,
that writer's vary in estimating
the true and definite meaning of
Oracular statements, with some of
them bound to be slightly wrong.
Full candor with newspaper
men would end such errors" it
is emphasized,

But his wealth is the only re-

speak of him here with increas-

The charge he faces is super
ficially a trivial one-evasion Of

The serious aspect Of the
charge for CapOne lies in three
other things. He is being brought
up against Federal Judge James
HI. WilkersOn, the easy-smiling,
hard-hitting Judge who once be-
fore warned CapOne he was not
to be bartered with.
The charge reveals that the old
terror of Capone and his men
has died down, for when Judge
Wilkerson summoned a panel of
prospective jurors there were few
attempts to avoid serving.
They'd Like to Get Him
And on top of all that, there is
an unmistakable excitement sur
rounding the trial. The excite
