A. at Hollywood, California 80 SERVICE ENGRAVING CO THE ARMED VICTORY This is the picture of the replica of ARMED LIBERTY, hte statue which surmounts the dome of our Capitol, at Washington, D. C. This replica, standing nearly twenty feet high, is a majestic and beautiful figure now on exhibition in the halls of the National Museum at our National Capital. It is not a Goddess of Liberty, but is just what its title proclaims. Note the expression of serenity, power and eternal youth. A small copy of this wonderful statue should grace every home, institution, school and office in the United States, and the writer expects soon to do something about it in the way of asking Congress to appropriate funds to put in circulation small replicas of the Armed Liberty, the profit to go to the orthopedic children of the United States. — The Editor.
