BIRMINGHAM, Ala, Oct B. Alabama, for more than half a century a tower of Democratic strength. today, so far as the Presidential campaign is con cerned, is tottering on the brink Of Republication.
 Persons on both sides of the political fence concede this situa- tion was brought about by the nomination al Houston of Gov. Alfred E. Smith whose religious Affiliations and convictions re- garding prohibition have changed hitherto burning affection for Democracy into luke-warmness and has set party chieftains about rekindling fires.
 To hold Alabama in the Demo- cratic line, that party's leaders must bridge the ehasm between Smith and the people over his da- herence to Catholicism and out spoken advocacy for modification of the Prohibition laws. Voters in rural communities. principally, fear Smiths election will mean an end to separation of church and state while in urban com munities women and ministers have been joined by ordinary dry voters in declaring his entrance to the White House will see the return of the saloon.
 G. o. P. Difficulties
 The Republicans are not with out their difficulties in the way of prejudices to be overcome. To sell the electorate on MT. Hoo yer they must offer an argument sufficiently strong to overcome antagonism toward the Republi- can party that dates back to the war between the States and sub sequent carpet bag rule Thous- ands of Alabamans still bristle when the question of social equality between the races is brought up, and 10 many, Repub- licanism is synonymous to negro dOminance.
 That the states electorate will undergo change of heart and swell the majority they already are claiming between now and November 6 is the confident hope lof Democratic leaders. On the other hand Republican heads are daily adding vigor 70 campaign unprecedented for it's activity, They are equally certain opposi- ltion to the candidacy of Gov, Smith will increase rather than diminish in the intervening weeks.

THE HANDS Keep Them Well And They'll Be Beautiful, Says Gali-Curci

Cultivation of beauty of hand and foot is emphasized in this article by Amnllta. Galli-Curci, the Metropolj tan Oepra soprano. It is 1he fifth article of q scries of six written per sona]]y and exclusively for NEA service and Herald.
 The hand that rocks the cradle rules the world, therefore ii has all the nor" need to be attractive, X well l-hept la nd. however, is an at trac1lNe hand. irrespective of shape, though the comclier. ot course, the better. Put cold cream on the nails every night then you will have no hangnails; cut the toenails, short, and square, thus avoiding ingroN ing cnes, clean under the nails with bit of cotton and cold cream put on an orange stick: de not use too high )y colored nail polish. but that giving q natural lustre: long, exaggerated nails are to my mind not only claw like, but nnreilncd.
 Massa sing the feet at night with cold cream is good for the bones and relieves tiredness. But no cold cream or any other medium will re- lieVe the woman who persists in wearing shoes which cramp the toes, Cold cream put on at night is also vastly improving 10 the hands and elbows. keeping the latter free from callous discolorations.
 In hot baths am q firm believer. but not in the violent shock of cold cncs. Always I take my bath at night, not remaining too long. for that is eneryating; by morning. pores are closed. and motion keeps one warm. Rarely, If ever. do I have a cold, but lying over the side ot the bed and letting the head hang down is good for it: and general benefit comes from allowing blood to go 10 the head, face and neck by this plan.
 Anything but a padding of flesh. And anything but taking reducing medicine, which is terrible: cat less and exercise more. l am not an admircr Of the boyish figure. for it is not feminine. believe in curves that hide the angles. Ii is quite possible 10 fully satisfy ap- petite, and still retain ones figure.
 This is my diet, and get through the hardest kind of season of con cert and opera without fatigue and in my normal weight. which never varies: I cat nuts instead of meat: ] cggs. sometimes: vegetables, plenty of milk. fruit, and fruit juices: but , no coffee, tea, pastry or candy. Any 1 woman can do the same and not 1 suffer the martydrom of all too solid l flesh.
