LINCOLN memorial
GAINS POPULARITY
Monument Shows Falling off
in Number Of Visitors
in z Months.

An apparent increase in the popu-
iarity Of the Lincoln Memorial as q
shrine for visitors to the National Capi-
tai at the expense of the Washington
Monument is indicated by count kept
for the past two months
During January and February the
Lincoln Memorial attracted more visl-
tors Ahan in the same period last year.
The reverse Is true for the washington
Monument, which suffered q falling on
IN numbers of sightseers.
Offlcials in charge Of the counting
of visitors were at loss to explain the
reason, pointing out that admission to
both memorials is free. 1t is thought
the construction of the Arlington Me-
mortal Bridge and the water gate and
plaza adjacent to the Lincoln Memorial
may have something to do with the
increased interest in the shrine to
Lincoln.
The Monument remains far in the
lead In total numbers Of visitors.
Last month the Lincoln Memorial at
tracted total of 3,451 visitors between
4:30 and $3.50 pm. as it Is only be-
tween these hours that a count is kept
there, Inspector william Wright OF the
protective division of the once of Pub
lie Buildings and Public Parks explain
ed today. The Washington Monument
last month drew total of 1882, MAX
ing a grand total for both shrines in
January of 1928. This month the
total number of visitors at the Lincoln
Memorial has reached 1898, while at
the washington Monument, where an
all-day count is kept, the aggregate is
1875, making a total of 20,268.
These figures compare with total
of 2,606 for January, 1880, for the Lin
coin Memorial and 1914 for the Wash
ington Monument. For February, 1880,
the figures are: Lincoln Memorial,
AO24: Washington Monument, 19,491.
