Method Reported
IFound to Relieve
| Sinus Headaches
By the Associated Press.

CHICAGO, July ga compress
sion chamber producing atmos-
pheric pressure encountered at
10000 feet altitude has successfully
relieved hundreds of cases of sinus
headache, the Passavant Hospital
quarterly reported yesterday.
In chambers specially designed
to study the effects of high
altitude flying on the human body,
the article said. 1t was discovered
that the negative pressure existing
at that altitude served to drain the
sinus spaces and relieve headache.
In many cases this plan of
treatment has avoided the necessity
Of surgical interference" the quar-
terly said.
The possibility of such sinus
treatments was suggested to the
Passavant Hospital by Col. Robert
r. Mccormick, publisher of the
Chicago Tribune, who presented the
first compression chamber nearly
10 years ago, the article said. The
hospital receives $3.50 each month
from Col. Mccormick for research
activities.

So|dier-Legis|ators
Put on Spot by Army
ho-PoIitics Rule
By the Associated Press.

RICHMOND, Va, July 26.-An
Army regulation governing political
activities of persons in military serv-
ice Is causing some speculation here
as to whether any soldier-members
of the 1914 General Assembly may
serve in their legislative jobs.
Part Of general revision of Army
regulations provides that mo men,
Der of the military forces on active
duty, whether on a duty status or
on leave of absence or furlough, will
act in his official capacity as the
holder of any public Office, or per-
form any of the duties thereof"
-Four members of the House of
Delegates are Army officers and can
didates for reelection. These are
1t. Virgil H. Goode, Franklin; Maj.
Charles r. Fenwick, Arlington; 1t.
E. H. Williams, jr., Isle of Wight,
Nansemond and Suffolk, and 1t.
William j. Gibson, Fredericksburg
and spotsylvania.
1t. Goode, now stationed in
Georgia, was left unopposed for re-
noMlnaClon When Delegate S. M
Chitwood, whose old legislative dis
trict was wiped out by the 1912
redistricting, announced withdrawal.
Mr.. Chitwood had pledged earlier
that he would not run If 1t. Goode
was 8 candidate.
Maj. Fenwick already declared the
Democratic nominee for mo of
Arlington's two seats, has Republican
opposition.
1t. Gibson is opposed in the
primary by Capt. A. L. Johnson,
veteran Of the World War. 1t. Will
llams has no opposition.
Several other legislators are on
active duty in the Navy or Coast
Guard, but apparently the Navy has
no regulation to bar them from being
reelected, qualifying for office or
serving If they can get leave.

INVASION CRAFT:
10000 Planned

Heralding vast amphibious action,
the navy disclosed plans for the con-
struction of $4,000 landing vessels at
q cost Of 51z billion dollars.
OF the total, 10000 with value Of
1h billion dollars already have been
built, ranging from $50 foot dock
ships to tractors capable Of operat-
ing on land or water. About 5000
rubber boats, RATS, ETC., also have
been completed.
Favorable performances Of the
amphibious tractors at Guadalcanal
and Tarawa where they were able
to rumble to shore when some fat
bottomed craft got stuck on the seas
coral floor, have Influenced greater
production of this type Of vessel.
Under a recent War Production
board order, shipbuilders have been
given top priorities, even over the
gasoline and airplane programs.
