WASHINGTON, D. g.. July IS
Twice the distance round the world,
or nearly $4,000 miles, in an eleva-
tor, is the travel record Of James
L. Evans. conductor OF the "lift
Ia Washington Monument, and u IS
believed to be a worlds record.
This Fall Mr.. Evans celebrates
the fOrty-second anniversary, thirty
trips a day for forty-two years.
When the veteran elevator man
came 10 the monument the big white
shaft had risen only about a tnird
OF its present height and, except for
the use Of the workmen, no elvatOr
had been installed. That was in
1873, and II was not until ten years
later that the shaft was completed
and the passenger elevator put in
operation.
The elevator on its first trip WIS
operated b. Mr.. Evans. and since
that date he has been continuously
in charge of the car.
Practically all tne famous men
and women who have visited Wash
ington during that time have been
passengers In Mr.. Evans elevator,
including each OF the Presidents and
Nice-Presidents.
The monument was one Of the
first public edifices visited by Presi-
dent Wilson when he came TO Wash

Mr.. Evans figures that in the past
thirty-two years he has made abou,

car goes about $40 feet up and the
