ELEVATOR PROVIDES OWN SPECIAL ‘JAG’ Operators Report Their Leg s Feel Queer for Few Days —Ear Affliction Not Prevalent Here.

By Kid ora Field If your favorite bootlegger passes you up, don’t get discouraged. Become an elevator operator and acquire “white mule” derangements free of charge. First, you’ll get groggy in your iegs. Practically all new operators can say as did the old colored man, “I have a might misery in' my taiga." That comes from an involuntary bracing against the many stops of the elevator. It passes away in a few days—as soon as the operator relaxes an£ lets the elevator do the work. “Some operators can’t relax,” the etartei in a big building remarked. “They keep on a tension, especially at rush hours. Os course they have to find other jobs before long.” “What about ‘elevator ear’?” the starter was asked. This is anew workmen’s affliction, hailing from Philadelphia. “Never heard of it," he answered. “Any relation to ‘trolley foot’—the oiotorman’s malady, said to develop from constant pounding of the warning gong? Anyway, I don’t believe “hat Indianapolis operators cold feel pffects. Buildings are not tall enough—not enough air rush. Go Fast in New York W'ln New York,” he continued, “in fifty-two floor Woolworth building for instance, some of the elevators go up forty stories without stopping. Ear drums or something,

little over twenty miles an hour. Riding In an auto at that pace would seem miserably slow, but up-and-down motion, we’re not accustomed to; we can’t gauge it, and think we're traveling faster than we are. In the Guaranty Bldg, especially, the low ceilings makes the floors close together and one seemingly sky-rockets along. The Occidf ntal Bldg elevators like those in the Merchants Bank Bldg., travel along at a good 400 feet a minute. In both ..these ouildings, no one had ever been botl ered with “elevator ear” and the starter at the Occidental dubbed It a “big city disease.” From elevator standpoints

we’re not very speedy. In New York, no uncommon pace is 1,100 feet a minute. Have Many Stops “Indianapolis elevators Just get a good start when they have to stop,” a nattily-uniformed young operator at the Odd Fellow Bldg, remarked. “No Indianapolis elevator has a chance to ‘let itself go.’ ” At the Hume-Mansur Bldg., where there are more elevators than robins In spring, the speed of each is kept low —about 280 feet a minute, or around ten miles an hour. “That’s because we have more doctors and dentists in this building than In any

High speed would annoy, i so we stick to slow speed, but keep six elevators constantly moving.” Would to Fall “Yes, there is an 'elevator ear,’ ” an elderly operator In the Knights of Pythias elevator said, “but a person’d have" to fall four stories, as I did, to get it. That was a good while ago, In an old-fashioned cable lift. I fell four flights before the safety devices caught. Coldn’t happen nowadays, with the triple safety measures. Anyway, I had ‘elevator ear’
