New Hampshire had been losing its
factories to the South and Middle
West. and many of the smaller indus
tries and occupations had given way
under the advent of modern machinery
and the fast developing States to the
West, Gov. Winant who had been
making serious study of the growing
impasse in small home means Of live
lihood. conceived the idea OF going
back to the old town guild system OF
organizing throughout the State, IN
towns and villages groups OF crafts
men, and those skilled in the simpler
arts. into a league for the promotion
and sale of the articles made.
AS result of his work and the
hearty assistance Of the people OF New
Hampshire. the league now has a mem
bership of almost 1000 craftsmen with
% shops where the goods are sold or
put on the market. These shops are
now self-supporting. They are run on
the exchange plan-a small commits
sion being charged the worker for the
sale of each article.
Gov. Winant's idea has spread to
New York, Vermont and some South
ern States. The Legislature OF the
Granite State alone makes appropria-
ton at each session to finance the
administration of the organization and
the expense of sending instructors in
the various crafts into isolated back
woods communities and mountainside
hamlets to teach "old methods to a
new generation" The dyeing OF wool
and cotton materials after the early
Puritan methods from roots and bark;
carding and spinning and weaving;
cabinet making, wood carving, pottery
and even the old silversmith arts have
returned and are in use.
Ambassador Bowers
Interest in Spanish Art.
Mr.. Claude Bowers, American AM
bassador to Spain. has become much
interested in the conversion of an old
historic castle there into a museum
for Spanish American art. Built in
the fifteenth century by the famous
architect Carreno, by orders of King
John II, the Castle La Mota in
Medina del Campo was once the finest
example of Mudejar military art in
Spain. The castle of an early Span
ish renaissance style-somewhat Moor
ish-was shortly after its completion
used as national prison. Luis,
brother of Christopher Columbus, was
a prisoner in this castle. also brother
of the conqueror of Peru, Francisco
Pizarro. It is doubtful if the United
States has ever before sent an ambas-
sador to Spain who has met with the
cordial reception and liking that has
been the lot of Mr.. Bowers. A scholar
and a gentleman-perhaps not so
skilled in the arts OF diplomacy as
some who served under Alphonso. the
sometime King of Spain, but his
cordial, courtly manners and knowl-
