SUDDEN DEATH man and BAD
SPILL ON TRACK MAR OPENING DAY
CENTRAL maine FAIR, WATERv|LLE
SEEK REASON FOR
CHANGE IN DESIGN
BRIDGE MEMORIAL

The commission in charge of the
erection of a soldiers and sailors
war memorial at the Maine entrance
to the Kittery war memorial bridge
met Tuesday with the governor and
council and found that the work
submitted to Governor Brewster and
the council, entitled "The Horrors of
War;" was not the design which the
commission had selected and it was
not acceptable to them.
The commission had authorized no
variation and they were instructed
to investigate and learn as to the oc-
casion of the change. The commits
sion is the final authority in this
matter.
This discovery by the commission
is likely to play an important part in
the controversy which had arisen be-
tween Governor Brewster and former
Governor. Percival P. Baxter as to
whether the design entitled THE
Horrors of War;" or the design en-
titled THE Glories of Peace" each
executed by the artist sculptor, Miss
Bashka Paeff of Boston, is the more
appropriate for the memorial tab
let. A third sketch, Victory and
Peace" also the work of Miss Peaff,
may also, it appears, enter into the
controversy.
From the design, Horrors of
War" Miss Paeff has completed a
clay model from which a huge bronze
panel, enght by IL feet was to be
cast Upon the design work has
been ordered stopped by Governor
Brewster, because, in ais opinion, the
design is a glorification of pacifism
rather than that of Names part in
the world conflict.
Members of the memorial tablet
commission present at the meeting
yesterday with the governor and
council were: Chairman, Brig. Gen.
Albert Greenlaw of Augusta, Col
Perley Ford of Sanford, former COM
mander of the Maine department OF
the American Legion; 1t. Col. Sher-
man H. Shumway of Skowhegan. End
Lieut.. Jasper H. Hone of Pressure
Isle. The other member of the COM
mission, Capt. Edward J. Callahan OF

WHO PROFITEERED ON
HOME BUILDING?

We came out of the war with a
dearth of homes. In 1918 we built
only a little more than one-third as
many houses as in 1914. The past
three or four years has seen a great
building boom, and, because the need
was great, at greatly increased cost
to home buyers. There has been
much loose talk about labor cost be-
ing responsible for the high cost Of
home building. The fact that labor
costs run only from one-fifth to one
fourth of the total cost Of building
an average home makes it subordi-
nate matter.
But now comes a study by the de-.
partment of labor at Washington
showing that labor has Jared as badly
as the home builder himself. Be-
tween 1915 and 1925 labor's share in
the total cost of building fell IL per
cent, while the cost Of materials in
creased by the same percentage. In
1919 materials had increased by 118
per cent over 1914, but wages had in
