She is quick and active both mentally and
physically She is "a live WIRE" 10 use the

tors Of some thirty important corporal ons.
She is deputy chairman Of two large Welsh
coal companies in which she is the principal

Her great wealth extends into timber pro-
duction coal shipping the manufacture OF

ways and in addition has large investments

10000 workmcn, capital approaching
$40 10000 and a yearly output OF more than
5000, 900 tons OF coal.
When Lord Rhondda died he not only held

able assistance Of his daughter who for
years had identified herself with various
movements for the Improvement Of cond-
lions primarily affecting women. She be-
came prominent before the war through her
ardent advocacy Of votes for women" and
was one Of the militant sufragettes. shr
was sentenced TO a term Of imprisonment
for setting fire to theNcontents Of n NAL box
which she had filed with parafline ana
matches. She did not serve out the sentence,
as she was one Of the first women to gain
a restoration OF her liberty by goingson
hunger strike. 1t is not unlikely should she
become n member Of the Blouse Of Lo~ds
that she will exhibit the same determination
i'm dealing with what she considers matters
Of principle, though hardly employing.>ihe
same methods
