One Of the outstanding points Of
interest for. Washington sightseers
is the very beautiful and greatly ad-
mired Lincoln Memorial which is lo-
Gated in West Potomac Park at the
west end Of the Mall. The late Chief
Justice Taft characterized the Lin
coin Memorial at its dedication by
saying: "A shrine at which all can
worship, an altar upon which the
supreme sacrifice was made for lib
erty; q sacred religious refuge in
which those who love country and
love God can find inspiration and re-
pose" This stately. temple-like
structure crowns a terraced plot in
West Potomac Park. Both the white
marble eolonnade Of the Memorial
and the tall shaft Of the Washington

are mirrored In the surface of the

tween them. Around the Memorial |
