THE MOTOR TRIP suggest

THE MOTOR TRIP suggest
l. ed this week takes at
least two days and will give
car owners q chance to COM
pare q modern divided-lane
highway and tunnels with an
old fashioned "roller-coaster"
road for mountain travel.
Not that the return trip
from Pittsburgh via Mary
land and West Virginia to the
District won't be comfortable
as we'll as interesting; the
roads are good. But the trip
will provide you with never
ending contrasts as long as
you travel both roads.
The map charts the course
generally northward over
U. s. 240 into Rockville, then
through Clarksburg and into
Frederick. Here we switch to
U. S. Is to Thurmont and then
northeast into Gettysburg,
Pa, where, II you haven't
visited the battlefield, a stop
Is recommended. To save time
and worry. pick up a uni
formed, licensed guide at
Getty Square and spend as
much time on the battlefield
nearby and at the museum
and Philippoteaux' wonderful
cyclorama painting as you
can.
The route continues on
U. 8. is through Dillsburg and
into the capital Of the State,
Harrisburg. Here, too, a stop
is recommended, for the city
has much to offer-principal-
~ its Capitol Building, one of
the finest State capitols in
the Nation. It is set in q 13-
acre park; its dome, 272 feet
high, weighs $1,000 900 pounds,
and its great marble staircase
Is modelled after that in the
Paris Grand Opera House.
The murals by Edwin Abbey
and Violet Oakley are alone
worth the visit.
From Harrisburg, head
westward over the Pennsyl-
vania Turnpike, entering it at
Middlesex and travelling to

Beautiful Buildings

Not all polls have been discredited. The
December number of the Journal of the
American Institute of Architects contains
a report on test of professional opinion
which appears to be above arbitrary chal-
lenge 1t was conducted by Edwin Bate
man Morris and was intended to discover
what architects think of architecture in
terms of buildings which possess an age
less, timeless quality of perfect architec-
tural diction" The check was limited to
Institute. members, each of whom was
asked to list five structures which, to
your eye and heart, come as nearly as
may be in the above category"
Mr. Morris disavows any effort to find
"the best building" He aimed only at
direction of thinking"-the trend of taste
among architects. In the roster as ar
ranged by number of times mentioned
regardless of order of choice, the Lincoln
Memorial was placed at the top, followed
by the Folger Shakespeare Library, Rookie
feller Center, Nebraska State Capitol, the
Federal Reserve Building on Constitution
avenue, the Parthenon in Athens, Gran
brook, the National Gallery Of Art, Phila-
delphia Savings Fund Society," the Academy
of Sciences, the Capitol Saint Thomas
Church in New York, Chartres Cathedral,
Federal Loan Agency, the Empire State
Building, Notre Dame in Paris, Frank Lloyd
Wright's Bear Run House, the Cathedral
of Saint John the Divine, Pan American
Building, the Cathedral of Learning in
Pittsburgh, the University of Virginia, City
Hall in Stockholrn pethesdo Naval H0S-
pital Mont San Michel and the Archives
Building.
Now, of course, layman might wonder
why none of the architects mentioned
Saint Peters in Rome and the Tai Mahal
