ny Associated Press to Every Evening.

By ASSOCIATED brseS 70 EVERY EvsntnG.
Washington, May 30--The Lincoln
Memorial WAS presented to President
Harding for tho American people to-
day by Chief Justice william Howard
Taft as "a shrine at which all can
worship. an altar upon which the su-
prcnne sacrifice was made for liberty:
a sacred religious refuge in which
those who love country and love God
can find inspiration and repose"
The fifty-seven years during which
! the American people have waited for
national memorial for the nations
savior and it's greatest leader were
we'll spent, Chief Justice Taft said. for
in the intervening time not only have
"the figures of his contemporaries
faded. leaving him gradually alone" 4"
but IL permitted a generation instinct
with the growing and deepening per-
ception OF the real Lincoln TO develop
an art adequate to the expression OF
his greatness"
The influence he still wields," the
speaker continued, "one may say with
all reverence, has A Christ-like
character. II has spread to the four
quarters of the globe. The oppressed
and lowly OF ali peoples. as liberty
and free government spread. pro-
nounce his name with awe and
cherish his assured personal SYM
pathy as a source of hope. The har-
fnony Of his message with every
popular aspiration for freedom proves
his universally.
We like to dwell on the fact thai
his associates did not see him as he
was when on earth. and that it was
for generations, born after he was
gone to feel his real greatness and tC
be moved by his real personality. Not
with the iowly only, but with all. rict
or poor, ignorant or learned, weak Of
powerful. untutored or of literar,
genius, has this aura about Lincoln,
head at his death grown into a halo o.
living light"

WOMAN ST SCORES
STYLES OF TODAY

Frederick, Md, May 30
Mrs. Mary Susan Alexander,
who on April Is of this year,
completed her eighty-first cycle
on life's highway, is another
lady OF the old school who ut
terly disapproves Of the present
day style of female garb. Mrs.
Alexander compared the style
of today with the styles that
were In vogue when she was a
girl, and she declared positively
that she preferred the styles of
long ago, as they Were much
palmer.
She voiced her disapproval Of
the 1922 styles in no uncertain
terms and asserted that the
fashions now were ridiculous.
The dresses are immodest. she
declared, because they are on
tirely too short and the waists
are too low at the neck.
