Beautiful Park Developed
Immediately surrounding the Lin
coin Memorial there have been de-
yeloped simultaneously in the course
of its construction the great Poto-
mae Park. covering more than 700
acres. The Commission, in choosing
the site, had in mind the restora-
ton OF the Mall according to the
lEnfant Plan. At that time Poto-
mac Park was known as the Poto-
mac Flats; squalid, offensive and
detrimental to the public health
though rich in aquatic vegetation
and with great possibilities for de-
yclopmcnt. Where several decades
ago the frogs gave their spring
concerts and mosquitoes and other
malarial germs pursued unmolested
the happy abandon of their insect
ways the brains of landscapes ar
lists have transformed into gardens
surprisingly exquisite that they
might serve Us fitting sites where
the nation should erect its temples
of tribute to its heroic leaders. The
site is rendered still more impressive
and beautiful by the fact that it
parallels the opposite bank of the
Potomac River, where the nation
keeps gleen the graves and alive
the memories of the boys and men
who rest in Arlington, Golgotha OF
the Brave.
In addition to these fine points
taken into consideration by those
having in charge the work of select
ing an appropriate site for the Lin
Icoln Memorial, there is the archi-
Itecturally appealing fact that the
Memorial is directly on the main
east and west axis of the Capitol it.

cal site chosen in 1871 for the orig

the fact that the White House is

way from the Lincoln Memorial. and

noon. The flames were held to one
part of the building, however, and
then extinguished in an all-afternoon
fight by every piece of apparatus
in the city. The damage may ex-
ceed 100000, with possibility
that greater smoke and water dam
age than believed may run the fig

The blaze was discovered after
1t had gained considerable headway,
few minutes after o'clock. The
store was crowded with women shop
pers who are unusually numerous
on Mondays. In addition to several
hundred of these, there were more
than 500 employees, mostly women,
but they escaped without injury or
accident. Throngs from the down
town district crowded about the
building until police lines were run
and in one instance it was necessary
to turn a hose ON the spectators to
force them back.
The Bry store contains, it is said,
l31 complete stores of almost every
sort of merchandise. 1t occupies al
most one entire block, six stories high,
more than half being practically
new after extensive remodeling. The
north half of the fifth and sixth
floors were destroyed and the water
damage was heavy in all other por-
tions of the building.
A brisk wind and a series Of ele-
vator shafts tended to spread the
fire, but gas masks enabled iiremen
to work from the south portion of
the interior and in three hours after
the blaze was discovered further
spread was definitely stopped.
