LAWRENCE PREPARES
 FOR LIQUOR FIGHT
Efforts Directed Particular ly Toward New Members
 of the Legislature
By l., s, BETTY

Montgomery, April 25.-(Special) ) No remarkable gift of political acumen or astuteness is required to recognize in the pre-legislative activities of the Rev Brooks Lawrence. superintendent of the Alabama Anti-Saloon league, the approaching revival of the old liquor fight. Since the primary election on April 6, MT. Lawrence has displayed an unusual degree of aggressiveness in the matter of beginning afresh the contest, his efforts having been di- rected particularly toward the new members of the house and senate of prohibition principles
 Mr. Lawrence has made known his intentions in letters which he has writ ten to the new legislators In which he enclosed copies of the Carmichael statewide prohibition bill and the Fuller regulation law. His suggestion to the new members is as follows; 'sThe committee would be glad to have you review these laws and advise regard ing them
 If MT Lawrence succeeds in his ef- forts to interest the new members in the enactment of another statewide prohibition bill, there is grave prob ability, according to prominent polit- Teal leaders, that bitter fight will thrust upon the two branches of the legislature at the very beginning of the session
 It is recognized that the majority of the members of the two branches Of the legislature are of prohibition principles and it is also believed that an effort will be made to repeal the present local option laws and re-enact l cfqt .xtrfT Ti, l0f such course would be wise in view of the successful operation of the smith and Parks bills, is a matter con cerning which there Is consid era ble speculation.
 Alabama Prohibition State
 Many leading men of Alabama, men of prohibition as well as local option principles, contend that it would be unwise to force another liquor fight upon the legislature. They base their contention upon the ground that Ala bama is already a prohibition state, in- asmuch as only seven counties permit the sale of liquor and that the en- actment of another state wide prohi- bition bill would only serve to engen- der another four years of bitterness and strife.
 They contend that the futility of all previous efforts to force prohibition upon the counties of Jefferson, Mont gomery and Mobile offers every ground for the belief that only partial success would attend further attempts in that direction It is pointed out that the various law violations which would result from such an effort would hard . ly be commensurate with the moral eff feet upon the state at large by the en- actment of a statewide bill
 However, the fight is promised and If MT. Lawrence succeeds it is cer- tain that another rock-ribbed prohi- bition bill will be enacted. The sue cess of his efforts will depend upon his influence upon the new members

MADAME ISE'BELL
The Hair and Scalp-Part "

My experience shows me that while an oily scalp is not so detrimental to hair health as one over-dry, 1t is a condition difficult to remedy. Once the oil glands have got into the habit of er-secreting. it seems very difficult to cure them. We can, however, do a great deal towards mitigating the ill effects of excessive oili- ness while we are trying to get at the root of the trouble.
 For the Oily Scalp
 An oily scalp should be shampooed as often as once week. Be sure the sham poo mixture is thoroughly rinsed from hair and scalp, and when the scalp is dry rub with eau de cologne or a tonic especially prepared for an oily scalp.
 Dry the hair in the sun when possible. Let the hair hang every day, brushing the hair by separating it into strands and airing the scalp Massage the scalp every night. Have no fear that this will increase the over-supply of oil or excite the oil glands to greater effort; on the contrary massage will tend towards get ting the scalp into a normal condition and correcting this fault
 Cleanliness, Sunlight and Air
 Remember that cleanliness, sunlight and air will do much towards remedying this condition. Don't wear your hair in close braids. but dress it so the air will get to the scalp. Blond hair suffers the most from an oily condition of the scalp for this is certain to darken it and take away the pretty huffiness that we asso- ciate with light hair. To correspondents who write me asking what can be done to prevent the hair from becoming dark CT I offer as the first bit of advice: Keen the scalp in good condition, and, above all, do not allow the scalp to become oily The same is true of gray hair. if the scalp is oily it is impossible to make it look attractive.

Calhoun Hears White

Capt Frank s. White, senator-elect. after delivering two speeches yesterday in Calhoun county, returned to Birmingham last night. He spoke in Anniston and in Oxford.
 Large crowds were gathered to hear my speeches." said Captain White .'I went primed to give Calhoun people the best l had in the shop, but I found that 1t was possible to make few converts. Most of them were already converted. There was considerable enthusiasm shown in the reception of what was said and l feel confident that MT. Conner will carry Calhoun county"
 Conner headquarters issued the follow ing statement last night:
 With the developments of tne weeK just gone the management of the Conner campaign is entirely satisfied. In Bir- mingham, the business men, by voluntary action, rallied with enthusiasm to the Conner standard. and declared their will ingness to fight the fight all down the line. Tn addition. throughout the state, crowds greeted our speakers with en- thusiasm.
 The ensuing week will see Conner speakers on the stump in many of the counties of the state, and by the end of the week, we believe that we will ba in position to say that the battle beyond all peradventure, has been won"

By HUGH w. ROBERTS

Much elated with the success of his rally in Tuscaloosa yesterday B. B.. Conner, former governor and candi- date for governor, returned to Bir- mngham last night.
 .'The rally was altogether satisfac- tory" said MT. Conner. We had large crowd and there was shown consider able enthusiasm in our cause. The peo- pie of Tuscaloosa are all right. They realize that the issue of tine campaign is whether Alabama shall rulc Alabama, or whether Kentucky shall rule Ala bama."
 With the candidate returned to Bir- mingham last night c. P. Beddow. MT. Beddow participated in the speaking. He opened by declaring that MT. Conner was in the role of David and that this modern David was arrayed against the corporations representing Goliath.
 There Is no doubt" said Mir. Beddow, "but that Governor Conner will carry Tuscaloosa county The enthusiasm at the meeting today was certainly sig nifcant General Brandon presided. When Governor Conner rose to speak he received a demonstration"
