WANTS TO IMPORT
A PIGMY
Woman Sets Poser For
Spanish Embassy.

Washington.
Mra, Hugo Rennert, Jr., is faced with the knotty problem of how to import a year-old pigmy slave named Gogo, who is no bigger than an ordinary three year-old child.
Gogo is guaranteed by his mas- tere to be the handiest thing pos- sible to have around the house. He speaks Spanish and French, plays, a guitar, runs errands and waits at table.
Mrs. Rennert's stepfather, Gen- eral Munez de Prado, Captain Gen- eral of the Spanish province of Andalusia, want to give Gogo to her. He bought the pigmy years ago when he was Governor-Gen- feral of Spanish Guinea, and took
him back to Spain.
"I want to bring Gogo here, for | he has been in our family for many years and it would be fun to have him," Mrs. Rennert said.
But the Spanish Embassy re- fused to include a pigmy under the
