(LD FORTRESS IS INDUSTRIAL TOWN La Guardia, Spain, Boasts - of Ancient Heritage La Guardia, Spain, June 1. (P — Once the strongest bulwark of de- fence aguinst the conquering Moors as well as between Castile and Navarra, thig little town now is the | center of Spain's silk producing in- dustry and its products have be- come famous throughout Europe. Its once Invincible walls still stand. But they have been pierced with windows and through these ore can see the plains of the Rioja vineyards reaching to one horizon, while on the other side are the mountains dividing the district from the French frontier, Below the | walls runs the river Ebro, Lla Guardia has a warlike his- tory running tfrough hundreds of years from the middle of the twelfth century, when it was al- ready considered a most important fortress, and it was given in quar- antec and besleged many times. What is now regarded as its most valid claim to fume is the fact that it was nearly two hun- dred years ago the birthplace of Feliz Maria de Samaniego—the Spanish Aesop of ontaine = whose fables are repeated by eve ery child in Spain. The Inquisi- tion forc.d him to flee abroad, where he remained 1nany years, but he returned home to die in the house of his forbears in the first year of the nineteenth century.
