Born in Indiana.
indianapolis and the state lost
| ground on the gridiron of fame
this week when the issuance and
publication of the seventeenth edi-
ton Of Who's Who in America"
showed both city and state thrown
for slight losses on noted persons
residing therein.
In the 1930-1931 edition of the
almanac of accomplishments the
city had 1853 residents listed as be-
ing worthy of acclaim fer useful
work while the new edition lists but
162 names.
Indiana had AT residents with
their names in who's Who" in the
1891 edition, while in this years
red book but AS are shown.
But the state made one appreci-
able gain and thai is in that out
OF the 30,545 names listed in the
book 1,039 were shown to be born
in Hoosierdom, while in the six
tenth edition but 1,015 gave their
nativity as Indiana.
Eleven New City Names
Eleven new names appear in the
city's "Who'sers,'' but due to drop
ping of some names in the last BIZ
ennial edition, the score for the
city's prominent ones is kept at 1852.
The new citizens to enter the hall
of fame, are: Lucius B. Andrus,
president of Indiana Electric Cor
poration; the Rev. Isaac j. Cahill of
the United Christian Missionary
Society; Circuit Judge Harry O..
Chamberlin, George G. Cole, SUI
perintendent of public instruction;
Luther L. Dickerson, city librarian;
George G. Forrey Jr., banker; James
w. Noel, attorney; Kenosha Ses-
sions, head of Indiana Girls school:
Isabelle H. Stewart, educator; David
E. Watson, attorney, and George M.
Williams, manufacturer.
But where who's Who" declares
that the nations average is one
out of each 1000 persons listed in
the book for 1932-1933, the city of
indianapolis practically cuts that
figure in one-half by having one
person listed in it to each 2,248 per-
sons in the city.
Lists All Lines of NotabIes
The rate for the years of 1896
and 1881 were practically the same
as the present.
The voluminouS book with its 2,670
pages covers every field of endeavor
except sporting lines. The Bam-
bino of Swat, Babe Ruth, is not
listed. Sport fans will find no rec
ord of Jack Sharkey, Earl Sande or
Red" Grange within It's agate pages.
The exceptions that deal with
sport are prominent athletic in
s+ructors as Fieldign H. Yost of
Michigan and others.
Clergymen, college professors, sci
entistS, authors, artists, auditors, in
ventorS, educators, lawyers, army
and navy officers and financiers,
form the bulk of the names in the
! book.
