New York showered Gertrude Ederle with 150 tons of ticket tape and torn telephone directories after she swam the English Channel. but gave Charles A.

These are a few of the strange bits of folklore and oddities that spice the work of 4.500 persons busy with the ‘Works Progress Adn writers' projects. From a mass of this material and other more prosaic matter the W. P. A 1s evolving its series of State guide books.

C., in 1774 had a eourt house built on stilts over the Yiver. When court convened, ladders which allowed descent to boats were removed and no one could leave. Cheraw, S. C, has a large number of trees because an old town law re- quired any one seen intoxicated on the streets to go to the woods, bring back a tree and plant it. . Southern Origin of “Lynch Law.” Cheraw 8lso furnishes a story of the origin of the term “lynch law,” at- | tributing it to the arbitrary decision of Col. Charles Lynch, who was judge advocate at courts martial for Gen. Nathaniel Greene, whose Revolution- ary War camp was near Cheraw. ‘The pioneer labor law in America &es adopted in 1798 by Foxboro, Mass., and forbade more than eight hours’ work in heavy industry. It also provided for a minimum wage of 66 | eents. Bethesda Presbyterian Church, nt Camden, S. C., dedicated in 1822, has the steeple at the rear. Near Webster, Mass., is a burying ground in which the graves are marked with fleld stones—large ones for old men, small ones for young men. & Of mysterious origin is a stone hutl near Upton, Mass, constructed of huge untooled stones. It is known to be over 300 years old. Similar huts in Ireland are attributed to sixth cen- tury picts. Iceland also has such huts, believed built by Norsemen.
