But Mr. Jacobs has had to learn ‘Indianapolis geography anyway. : ~ Mr. Jacobs thinks answering queries on the average of once every two minutes is & pretty good| ‘job.

By JAMES THRASHER Maybe W. S. Jacobs doesn’t know all the answers. But the statistical department just reported that he has given approximately 600,960 of them during his eight and a half years of State House service. Mr. Jacobs’ official title is Captain of State House Police. But his working day consists of sitting in his swivel chair at the information desk in the rotunda, answering questions and pointing directions. Sometimes these questions are a bit cryptic. But Mr. Jacobs has learned to do a lot of diagnosis, deduction and ferreting out of essen‘tial meaning.

. GAZERS AT STARS ~ INSPIRED BY MARS

The Indiana Astronomical Society announced today that popular interest in a star-gazing, stimulated by the recent approach of Mars, has been such that more telescopes are needed at the observatory, Crooked Creek and 72d St. : ; Officers also issued a call for collapsible chairs which the Society will buy if a bargain can be located. In the current August bulletin there is a place for members to list whether or not they have telescopes and other accessories.

Back in the 1886 mule-car days, the Indianapolis Streetcar Co. laid down steel rails on Senate Ave,

from Indiana Ave. to 10th St. Today City workers. are busy tearing them up preparatory to paving the middle of Senate Ave, from Indiana Ave. to 16th St. - During the first years of the Senate Ave. line, when. the automobile was just an idea and Grover Cleveland was serving his first term as President, a turntable was located at 10th St. The cars in those days were made of wood and the conductor could easily (and always did) step from his platform and push the car around for the return trip. Then in 1888, prchably in celebration of a Republican victory which svifept Indianapolis’ one President, Benjamin Harrison, into the White

Wooden Coaches Once Waltzed Around 10th St.

House, the streetcar company extended the line to 21st St. In 1894, Elwoed Haynes, behind the wheel of a chugging horseless carriage, whipped over the road from Indianapolis to Kokomo. This was just two years after the first gasoline driven car had been seen in America. Recognizing the handwriting on the wall, the streetcar company bid goodby to the Donner’s and Blitzen’s of the rails and installed electric trolleys. Thirty-eight years later, in 1934, the trackless trolley came into being and the iron rails were left unused. i The heavy tread of countless autos and trucks, undreamed of by the intrepid Mr. Haynes, have left Senate Ave. a very rough thoroughfare. The City expects to have the paving completed by fall.
