Washington,  D.  C,  May  5  to  10,  1920. 
Everybody  wants  to  see  Washington.  During  the  recent  Titanic 
War  the  eyes  of  the  entire  world  were  turned  to  the  United  States 
and  since  its  termination  Washington  easily  holds  first  place  in  the 
universe.  The  mecca  of  the  world  is  Washington.  It  is  the  hope 
and  ambition  of  every  good  citizen  of  our  great  country  to  see  his 
National  Capital  at  least  once.  There  is  more  here  than  can  be 
seen  and  learned  in  weeks  of  sightseeing  and  study.  We  have  things 
in  Washington  that  will  fascinate  any  one  from  the  most  profound 
scientist  or  astute  statesman,  to  the  merry  sightseers.  Our  beautiful 
city  and  the  internal  workings  of  the  greatest  government  on  earth 
fascinate  and  properly  so,  all  comers.  Hotel  accommodations  are . 
among  the  best. 
Of  all  the  months  May  is  the  most  charming.  It  is  then  that 
the  new,  fresh  foliage  of  numerous  and  rare  trees  will  overhang  our 
broad  and  well-paved  streets.  The  many  parks  and  parklets,  with 
native  and  exotic  plants,  will  be  in  their  best  attire.  The  animals 
in  our  charming,  rolling  Zoological  Park  will  bring  joy  and  pleasure 
to  all  lovers  of  nature.  It  is  the  time  of  year  when  life  is  bubbling 
over.  Everything  will  be  all  activity.  The  rugged,  scenic.  Great 
Falls  of  the  Potomac  are  but  20  miles  away.  The  ladies  have  planned 
a  trip  to  this  beautiful  spot. 
In  Washington  can  be  seen  the  numerous  and  beautiful,  massive 
Government  buildings  of  Doric,  Ionic  and  Gothic  architecture. 
Next  May  will  be  the  best  time  to  see  and  learn  how  the  government 
business  is  carried  on.  Congress  will  be  in  session.  You  should 
spend  several  days  at  the  Capitol  and  see  how  the  Senate  and  House 
conduct  the  nation's  business.  Trips  should  be  taken  to  the  White 
House,  the  Congressional  Library,  Pan-American  Building,  D.  A.  R.
