Lincoln Memorial Greatest
Shrine of the Emancipator
Impressive in Simplicity, $4,000, 600 Gift of Nation
in Memory of Man Who Saved Union Is Mas
terpiece of ALI Public Buildings in u. S.

WASHINGTON, May 3o.-The Lin
coin Memorial, the gift Of the nation
to the memory Of Abraham Lincoln. is
one Of the worlds most beautiful
structures and the greatest shrine Of
the man who saved the Union. I'm
pressive in it's simplicity. the memorial
probably is the masterpiece of all pub
lie buildings and memorials in the
United States. 1t stands in Potomac
Park, facing the Washington Monu-
ment. and it's construction was begun
on Lincolns birthday anniversary in
1914. The fetal cost has been approx
mately S3,o0O,00O.
This monument to Lincoln is large
rectangular building Of white marble,
designed by Henry Bacon, New York
architect. it has beautiful setting on
a direct cast and west line with the
Washington Monument and the nation S
Capitol, and rises l44 feet above the
level of the park. 1t is composed of
four principal fea atures-a statue of the
man, memorial of his Gettysburg ad
dress, memorial oY his second naug-
ural address and a symbol of the Union
of the States.
Imposing Statue in Marble
The most important object in the
memorial is the statue of Lincoln in
marble, by Daniel Chester French, New
York sculptor. placed in the central
hall where, by virtue of it's imposing
position in the place of honor, it pre-
dominates ali else. The statue is
colossal in size and yet distinctively
personal. 1t represents Lincoln, seat
ed, in a thoughtful mood, and is the
first thing that r.ects the eye as one
passes throUr' the IN mense colonnad-
ed entrance. Smaller halls, one at
either side o. the central hall, contain
NJ u amental tablets in which deeply in
.l8st letters reproduce word for word

Unparalleled Composition
At one end Of the great axis, planned
more than century ago, is the
Capitol of the nation. which is the
monument of the government and a
mile westward from the Capitol Is
the 550foot granite shaft which is the
monument to George Washington.
Now on this same great axis, half a
mile west of the Washington monu-
ment, stands the Lincoln memorial
| This completes an unparalleled com
position. a triiogy which imparts to
each of it's monuments value in
addition to that which each standing
alone possesses.
BY means of terraces the grounds
around the site are raised until the
floor of the memorial itself is forty
five feet higher than the grade of
Potomac Park. A circular terrace,
! 1000 feet in diameter, first rises
above the park. On its outer edge
stand four concentric rows of trees,
