WRITERS BEGIN COMPILING OF STATE HISTORY 110 WPA Workers Collect Facts for Section in ‘Amer- j ican Guide.’ Indiana history is in the making today as 110 unemployed writers | start compiling facts bearing on the state's development. Ross F. Lorkridge, state director of Federal writers’ projects, is in charge of the staff, and the edited information later will be condensed into volumes to be called “'The American Guide Manual.” Mr. Lockridge explained that the state is divided into districts. Old i histories, records, letters and pam- ! phlets will be scanned for informa- ; tion. Pioneer and native residents I will be interviewed, and every available source of information collected. | The state volume will provide an inclusive picture of the cultural, scenic, historical, recreational, economic, aesthetic and commercial aspects of the state. The data will be of infinite value to research workers and students of the state's historical background. Asa subsidiary to the project, Mr Lockridge has organized a series of programs which are termed “thumbnail pageants” to be presented in community gatherings. The programs are designed to stimulate interest in local history and characteristics peculiar to the neighborhood.

Non-Skid Tub Hy T niteri Prrttn DETROIT, Dec. 20.—Death on a cake of slippery soap was forestalled today by manufacturers’ announcement of a non-skid bath tub to be placed on the market soon. The new safety note in the bathroom, according to the announcement, is streamlined, serpentine embossed and comes in any color of acid-resisting, vitreous porcelain enamel. Reduced slopes inside the tub and a wave-like tread are its chief safety features. For those who move often, another feature is pertinent. It weighs only one-third as much as the old cast-iron type *of tub. Master plumbers of the country will handle the product, the announcement promise<j.
