II. S. Women Ask
Spain to Free
Dona Kent
By TALBOT LAKE

TWENTY-FIVE prominent wo-
. men in the United States. IN
Guiding Mrs. Carrie Chapman
Gait, Fannie Hurst and DR.. MIL
dred McAfee, have entered a plea
to the Ambassador from Spain to
release Dona Victoria y Siano
Kent from prison. The Franco
regime charges her with helping
set up the Spanish Republic. =
crime punishable by death IN
Spain today. Dona Kent is one
of the leading feminists OF the
world.
A strong-faced woman Of 80.
Dona Kent had risen to a height
never before achieved in Spain by
q woman. In 1880 she became
Supervisor of Prisons. an mpor-
tant post In the Republic. One
year later she was discharged for
having been too lenient." Prisons
interested the Republicans. who
had been in various jailS them
selves from time to time.
There were only eight women
lawyers in Spain and Dona Kent
was the leading lawyer Of them
all. She specialized In labor cases
and In taking the part Of the poor
and downtrodden. All the world
knew Of her humanitarianism
Her most famous case was her de-
tense Of Don Aware de Al Boyuoz,
who was on trial with four others
for having signed the Republican
manifesto.
senorita Kent gets her English
name from her father. who was q
British subject who married and
settled In Spain. Her mother wa;
an Italian.
During the Civil War In Spain
she remained in Paris, where sht
aided Loyalist refugees. She wa!
in that city when the Germans
entered. At the request Of Franco

was sheer poison. she was ar.

It Is feared the conditions under
which she is held are intolerable
Word of her arrest leaked out
when the Spanish poetess. Sonora

in Chile to the effect that Dona
Kent had been seized by Franco.
The women who are agitating
In her behalf have also contacted
women in South America and
Mexico. It Is said that q fund Is
being raised to bring Dona Kent

that her girls were the Studious

which may of course be true. but,

SKIN TREATMENT

Every woman should remember
that she Is growing older every day
and that the same skin treatment
that she used last year or even last
month may no longer adequately
meet har beauty needs. Where one
cream and the simplest cleansing
routine may be suficient until she
Is IS. she may need two or even
three creams after IS. A dried-out
skin quickly loses Its resistance to
weather changes, to wrinkling and
premature shriveling. Cream used
regularly will keep 1t well oiled.

the general living quarters. He
blames mother for not training
Martin better.
Obviously. the youngsters asso-
Citations with his playroom cannot
be very pleasant or he would be
willing to spend more time In It. II
the playroom Is. as 1t would appear
to be, q recent addition. there also
Is the problem Of established play
habits for the parent to cope with.
Anyway. 1t should be plain to the
mother that Martin does not enjoy
being alone In his room.
The child. like all OF US, Is q social
being and enjoys human society. As
q matter Of fact. he Is more depen-
dent on human society than adults.
We are more self-sufflcient. His in
terests are spasmodic. while ours
are more sustained. Also, we are
not dependent upon q larger per-
son for protection and are, there
fore, not afraid Of being alone.
Even when deeply engrossed. Ut
some pastime. every child likes to
feel that someone Is near. It may be
that Martin has to see his mother,
at least from time to time. to be
assured of her presence In the
house and feel comforted by 1t.
TO discourage him from leaving
the playroom every now and then
to play near her. the logical alter
native Is for the mother to 60 ia
him regularly. She can use the
playroom for certain types Of work
Of her own. For example. she can
do her mending there while he car
ries on at play nearby. She can take
the peas or beans In there to be
hulled. She might announce. IL
brought my work to do in here
Thought you might like company"
She can easily md many excuses
to be near him.
Once he begins to enjoy satisfac-
ton through playing In his own
room. the child won't have to Be
told when little friends come over
to take them there. He will regard
1t as his sanctuary. and do 1t OF his
own accord.
