STATELY LINCOLN MEMORIAL

It seems particularly fitting that Memorial Day should have been chosen for the dedication of the Lin- coin Memorial in Potomac park, Washington. Plans and prepAra- tions have been going forward for more than 10 years. and the result is worthy of the time and patient ef- fort expended. for the beausifui and impressive structure reflects in It's simple strength the character or the man in whose honor it was erected. Standing as 1t does near the Potomac river, and harmonizing with its beau tiful surroundings. the memorial Is isolated from other buildings. but is structure, shown in the Popular Me- ciianics Magazine, is 15e feet long by e4 feet wide. and is situated on ter- race. 50 that its height 10 111 feet above tho roadway grade.
