Washington D. c., January 49,
From every viewpoint Washington to
me resembles huge bowl with ter
raced sides up to the rim which ap-
pears circuk-, always, and is edged
with the wooded hills of Maryland and
Virginia. We are three miles from
the Capitol which stands on Capital
Hill. We too are on hin and as we
look out over the city at night the
top Of the main wings Of the Capitol
are on line with the rim of the bowl
to which l just alluded; Then rising
above the horizon is the wonderfully
beautiful massing dome of the Capt.
tol jutting out and above all else. II
is the crowning glory of Washington
and has been pronounced one of the
most beautiful all architectural crea =
tions, and the most perfect dome in
the world. Seen from distance il
means Washington, as the dome C.
st. Peters means Rome, the dome q
st Paul.s means London and the
Notre Dame means Paris; However
the dome of our capitol is said to be
superior to any of~these in size and
nobility of outline The capitols
dome has been lighted every night
since the disarmament conference
opened by a battery of powerful lights
on the roof OF the Senate and House
wings. When thus lighted at night
the dome appears as If moulded OF
pure white wax. 1t is a most i'm
pressionable sight and one which fills
one with reverence, quietly you gaze
