This was originally me ironi. wow there are two "fronts", since the other side faces the Wash ington Monument and, across the reflecting pool, the Lincoln Memorial. At night, looking from either direction, this is a breathtaking and unforgettable view. Down the Mall, which lies be tween Independence and Con stitution avenues, can be found the National Gallery of Art and the many buildings which house the displays of the Smithsonian Institution and Museum of Nat ural History. From the Capitol this is a good hike for walkers, but an easy drive. Days could be profitably spent in any of these buildings along the Mall. Those who have very little time usual ly content themselves by taking pictures of relatives backed by imposing buildings. There are many sights and ex periences in Washington which cost the visitor not a sou. For the musically inclined there are frequent evening band concerts during the summer on the Capi tol steps. Below the Lincoln Me morial music lovers can also attend the outdoor concerts at the Watergate, the stage being a barge on the Potomac river.

Others stand transfixed before some famous or obscure figure. Each state is allowed two stat ues in the corridors. Once chosen, these statues cannot be replaced. There was a brief flurry over Oklahoma's request to substitute the late benator Robert Kerr for one of theirs. Nothing came of is. Some one asked, "How do 'they' know these people will be the most important, or famous, of signifi cant personages? T h e y don't, of course. I'm sure lots of states have regretted early choices but then, they might regret later ones, too. Choices Good Oregon's two contributi o n s are Jason Lee and Marcus Whit man. Good choices, I think. Still, when I reflect on how puz- alize that others may have the same reaction to ours. There are, of course, very well - known figures like Daniel Webster and Susan Anthony. There are a surprising number of women, including Sacajawea.

There is a small charge at both these famous his toric homes.
