Here in Washington, at the Bu- reau of Standards, a tiny room ha: been built that copies flying condi: ‘tions exactly at 5,000 to 20,000 feet. 'And here all the thrills of nose dives and sudden breath - taking ascensions may be had. The experiments still are purely in a formative stage. Its use (orig- inally it was built for testing avia- tion instruments) was suggested after certain aviators had reported relief from. slight deafness after :steep dives from high altitudes. The altitude chamber— effect, produces flying cond: a laboratory — resembles a set on end, Built of 1, ii ches in diameter and 72 feet high. this snug enclosure, air pressure is manufactured to order, the force ;thus exerted on the tank being in- ;¢reased or decreased rapidly.

The rate at which the air is allowed to enter is governed by the ability of the pa- tient. This novel experiment is in such a nebulous state as to make it haz- ardous to draw definite conclusions. Certainly, the low-pressure chamber inthis new role has interesting pos- sibilities und since it is outside the province of the Bureau of Standards to ferret them out, it remains for the medical profession to verify or explode the belief that certain urti- ficially-created air- pressure condi. ions may restore the hearing of some of those whose auditory organs ure afflicted, \ If the medical refession places | i he low- pre a@ suitable in- sti ent for improving certain types of deafness it requires little stretch jof the imagination tq. visyajize this @pparatus as dia, sing aquipment ;of thousands of peste! ear F The bulging hip is a feature of the | newest styles for women, says a de- | sign Follow the men’s post- | Volatead examp!
