CAPITAL WEIGHS
 ALCORN'S CHANGES
Rep. Tilson Firmly Supporting Prosecutor for Federal Office
RY GEORGE II MANNING

By GEORGE II. MANNING
 Washington Correspondent, N. E. HcralD
 Washington, D. C., Sept. 9-Sev- eral formidable hurdles intervene between Hugh M Alcorn, states at torney of Connecticut, and the office of assistant attorney general of the United States, according to the cur rent gossip here. There are those who assert that Mir AlcOrn's chances of being named successor to Mrs. Mabel Walker Willebrandt, who has been in charge of enforcement of the prohibition, internal revenue and narcotic laws, are not good.
 Those who assert that AlCorn is not likely to get the last real plum that remains on the administration tree, point to the imprObabiliy of a selection being made from ConneCti- cut, one of the few states which did not ratify the Eighteenth Amend- mcnt. It is admitted quie generally that AlCOrn's record in state enforce mcnt of the liquor laws in Connecti- cut might very well be pleaded 10 justify his selection, but the fact that the leaders of the republican party in his state are by no means unanimous in his support has, it is asserted initiated against him.
 Col. John Q. Tilson, republican floor leader in the house. is reported to have gone the limit in his indorse- ment of Mir. Alcorn for the Willie brandt vacancy. There is, however, no evidence that Senator Hiram Bingham has urged President Hoo yer to consider Alcorn and there is gossip here to the effect that the senior senator does not look with favor on the movement in behalf of Alcorn. The senator has declined to discuss tho Alcorn matter and. in some quarters his reticcncc is inter preted as opposition, the theory be- ing that if he were favorable to the Alcorn cause he would not hesitate to declare the fact.
 Doubtless, President Hoover would welcome an opportunity to appoint d man indorsed by Representative Tilson, assuming, of course, that the aspirant'S enforcement record was acceptable It is quite as obvious. that in as important an appointment as the assistant attorney general in charge of prohibition enforcement, the president would hesitate to ap- point a man if he were unacceptable to the senior senator of the state.
 Those who assert the acCeptability of Mir. Alcorns enforcement record in Connecticut count on it to line up for. him powerful influences among the national leaders of the dry movement.

Has Much Wiser, Saner View Than World Cred its Her With, Titled Woman Observer De- clares.

New York, Sept. 9 P&-The American tiappcr is going to wield a whip hand in her country's drive for prevention of crime in the opin- ion of Lady Armstrong. wife of the British consul general here, and member of New York's commission to stu"y crime prevention.
 'Thc tlappcr who has known her cigarettes and her cocktails and her night clubs has settled down to business with a much wiser saner view than is credited to her." Lady Armstrong said today.
 Understands Problems
 She understands the problems that face crime prevention, she wants to help, and she is starting and supporting movements that strike at it's roots. The big sister movement and the children's court are instances of this and there will be others. Delinquent girls will listen to a smart young woman in modish clothes, when they often won't stop to hear a woman of fifty.
 "Tho success the fiappcr has made in business contributes much to her strength. Sisters the top dog now. Her pay check is often bigger than brothers. Shes sharper in busi- ness today than he. and she is work ing harder. The newness has worn off her independence and shes set tling down.
 And with all her independence she is turning to feminine frills and furbcloWs again. Long skirts are coming back They'll be swishine about cur ankles in another year. I believe long hair is again in fash ion and there's a new day of fem inity and fcminism coming for those who wear them. Women, who have failed in their roles as moral leaders for the last five years, are swinging back"
 Active in social Service
 Lady Armstrong. born in America of English descendants. was herself active in social service work for 26 years. She plunged into the work of the ladies of charity in 1902 after her father dccreed that the life of an opera singer, which she had selected, was too strenuous" for her.
 Becoming interested in the chil- dren's curt, then housed in a ram shackle building in lower New York Sb bh ,;l which appeared there, and later Was a dominant figure in the organiza- ton of the big sisters movement caring for delinquent girls.
 Chairman of Group
 Today she is chairman of the Co., operative Big Sisters first vice prcsi- dent of the International l'edera- tion of Big Brothers and Sisters director of the Florence Crittendon league and the Girls Service league. and vice president of the Ladies of Charity.
 In addition to those activities she is the wife and hostess of the Brit ish consul general in New York.
 The godmother of more than score of east side babies; the head of an unofficial Employment bureau" which finds jobs for an average of 15 people week, and member of New York's commission 10 study crime prevention.

IF KIDNEYS ACT
BAD TAKE SALTS

When you wake up with back,
ache and duh misery in the kidney
region 1t may mean you have been
eating foods which create acids, says
a well-known authority. An excess
of such acids overworks the kidneys
in their effort to filter it from the
blood and they become sort OF para
lyzed and loggy. When your kid
neys get sluggish and clog you must
relieve them, like you relieve your
bowels, removing all the body 5 waste,
else you have backache, sick heap
ache, dizzy spells; your stomach
sours, tongue Is coated, and when
the weather is bad you have rheu-
matte twinges.
Either consult good reliable ply
sician at once or get from your
pharmacist about four ounces Of
Jad Salts; take a tablespoonful in
a glass OF water before breakfast
for a few days and your kidneys
may then act fine. This famous
salts is made from the acid of
grapes and lemon juice, combined
with litEia, and has been used for
years to help clean and stimulate
sluggish kidneys, also to neutralize
acids in the system. so they no
longer irritate. thus often relieving
bladder weakness.
Jad Salts is inexpensive, cannot
injure and makes delightful, effer-
vescent Whitewater drink. Drink
lots of good water.
