The eyes of eighty million American people are now on Washington, the Capital of the Nation, The "wheel of the National Government are now in full motion. Congress is in session and the busy whirl of the legislative mill is intensely interesting. Many hours may be spent in the Senate or House gallery watch ing the legislators at work. The Capital itself, aside irom its importance as the home of Congress and of the United States Supreme Court, is an imposing building. Seven hundred and fifty-one feet long by three hundred and fifty feet wide, its massive proportions are visible from almost every sec tion of Washington. The great dome in the center sur mounted by the statue of Freedom, towering three hun dred feet in the air, looks out over superbly-kept gardens and hundreds of handsome buildings in which are hous ed the many departments of the Government. . The other workshops of the Nation are also well worthy of a visit. The White House, the home and of fice of the President; the State, War and Navy Building, with its museums and models; the Treasury Building, with its huge vaults; the Bureau of Engravig and Printing where the postage stamps are made and bank notes are printed; the Government Printing Office, the Patent Office, and the Congressional Library; the Na tional Museum, the Smithsonian Institute, the great Monument, the new Union Station are all attractive features of the Capital City. Fine hotels, magnificent private residences, erected by those who are making Washington their home, not only during the official season but the whole year round; handsome publicbuildings, ornamented circles and superb statues make Washington one of the most beautiful cities in the country, and well worthy of comparison with the other capitals of the world. The service of the Pennsylvania Railroad to Wash ington serves a wide territory. Its trains afford a direct means of reaching the National Capital, and tickets at reasonable rates are on sale at all ticket offices.
