\ The guide books are being pre-

Imerkan Guide Series. As I un-
,< brstand it, the guides came into

ts orgsnixstioH. the WPA found
hat it must ffeul something to do
or a group of unemployed who
vould not have been benefltted by
naiiual labor alone; hence it aet
ip some ,»-call»*«i "white collar
irojedts.” Among these was the
Federal W titers' Project. In each
state the briters on the project

State. A volume for each New Bag*
ahd State has been published.'and
lino volumes fj>r Idaho, Maryland.
Mississippi, and Iowa, ami for cer
tain of the cities, such as Washing
ton Philadelphia, and New York.
Vplumes for each of the other
States are in pn psiatlon, and will
be published soon. The publication
b done by private firms, not by the
WPA. There are also some miscel
laneous guides, including some to
certain highways through the coun
tgy: U. S. Route One, for instance
(running comparatively near the
coast from Maine to Florida), and
The Ocean Highway, running from
New Jersey tb Florida almost a-
lung the beach. In the end, it b
planned to have guides U> most of
tin main routes throughout the
United States. There are guides,
to<>. covering various individual
mhjects of pertieukr interest or

The State guides contain chap-
jMrs on the topics of most interest
concerning the Stab, such as hb-
toiy, industry, transportation, ve
getation. and the like. Then there
ale chapters on the chief cities
of the State. Following that come
chapters giving mUe-by-milr des
criptions of the main routes
thiough the State. The separate
glides to the various routes, of
course, are entirely mile-by-mile
descriptions.
