had just finished Baby's evening toilet, and as I was going in to the bathroom, she offered me baby's tin of Cuticura Talcum. I've. never known anything so soothing-it is the finest talcum powder I've ever known-after strenuous exercise I ask for no better pick- me-up than a bath Enished off with this talcum. The perfume alone made me love it at once-such a delicate, sweet fragrance." It is because of its fineness and absolute purity that Cuticura Talcum is recommended by doctors and nurses for a baby's sensitive skin. And this is the reason why women find it a joy to use after bathing-or when- ever the skin is chafed and feels tender. No other powder is so satiny smooth-it is like a cooling balm on a hot skin. And its sweet, refreshing fragrance perfumes the whole body long afterwards.

Buy a tin today. It is invaluable for every member of the family.

Record Of Internal Turmoil

W. L.

Ex-King Alfonso XIII ascended his inherited throne in 1902 His was not an easy task. Aireudy the following year he had to aght socialist unrest in Barcelona On his wedding day comb was thrown at the Royal Carriage, but the Royal couple were uninjured. His reign was occupied chiefly in pacifying the various parties.

"

During his reign he also had to contend with the Morocco un- rest, fighting, with the French agüizist Abd el Krim, who was finally banished by France.

In Spain one unrest and revolt succeeded the other, until finally the King put his trust into General Primo de Rivers, who, in 1923 erected a Military Dictatorship.

The parties were dissolved, the Cortes sent home. Taking all in all the period of Primo de Rivera's dictatorship was a period of peace for Spain. There was now time to give attention to the economic development of the harrassed country.

However, in 1830 divergencles arose between the King and his General, and ended in the dismissal of Primo de Rivera, who shortly afterwards died in France.

Again the reign of the parties began, the one side Aghting agathat the other, and in May, 3 months after Primo de Rivera's dismissal, labour strikes began in Asturia. In December 1930, Major Ramon Franco, the brother of General Francisco Franco, started a revolution, but he was

defeated.

soon

Trade Unions and other strong political elements united, and opposed the established order.

In 1931, after the result of the Communal elections had be- come known, and because of ever increasing disorders, King Alfonso left Spain, and went to France.

A CONSTITUTIONAL FAILURE

Shuped after west and middle European examples, a democratic Constitution was set up, under the leadership of the Socialista; Church and State were separated, and the officer corps radically re- duced. The new Republican Government was supported by a Pariia- ment consisting mostly of "intellectuals," and found no support amongst the peasants. The strongly one-sided Marxist ideology of the Government called for strong opposition. In the country, and found. Its first expression in the Sanjurjo Putsch of August 10th, 1932. This revolt was, however, started solely by the former reigning classes, and found no sympathy with the people.

W

NINETEEN GOVERNMENTS IN THREE YEARS!

At this point diplomatic relations with Moscow, which had rested for many years, were again taken up. and one of the foremost protagonists of Bolshevism, Lunacharsky, was first Soviet Ambassa- dor in Spain. Systematic communist propaganda began, and so00 found results when Barcelona demanded independence from Madrid, a demand which was immediately followed by the Basques. Soon petty revolts flared up, one day in Catalonia, the other day in As- turla. In the last 3 years 19 Governments tried to keep order.

DEATH AND DESTRUCTION

The Civil War of 1934 is stated to have cost the country 1.378 dead and 2,921 wounded. The damage of property exceeded 300 million pesetas; 63 public buildings, 56 churches and 26 industrial plants were destroyed.

EFFORTS AT UNITY

Proof that the Spanish people were tired of the continual dis- orders were the attempts made to form parties strong enough to finally unite the country.

The Nationalists have undertaken various attempts to end the disorders. The Students united in the "Junta Ofensiva Nacional Sindicalista" and the "Liga Patriotica Espanola," fourided by Altinana. Jimenez Caballero tried to found a nationalist party. All attempts falled.
