MORE MONEY FOR
 BRAINS IS URGED
Idea Put Forth Colleges Spend
 Too Much on Buildings

Ithaca, \. Y, June IS tPl-Ameri- can colleges put too much money into buildings and not enough into brains, in the opinion Of pr. Ernst Cohen, eminent Dutch chemist who is featuring al Cornell prior to visiting other American universities.
 Dr. Cohen, who is professor Of physical chemistry at the University of Utrecht and president of the In ternational Congress of Pure and Applied Chemistry, believes that aI- though higher education in America is rapidly approaching European standards, the importance of physi- cal equipment is over-emphasized here.
 If private individual gives 10 one Of your universities" he said. "a large proportion Of the gift goes into buildings. In fact, 1t would seem that there Is too much competition in this respect, with the result that your young people are tempted to chose their colleges on the basis of physical rather than scholastic ad- vantages.
 "Ot course your educational plants offer extraordinary facilities, parti- cularly for professional training. and think 1t will not be long be- fore you can match Europe in schol- arship. But the development Of your universities depends upon the main- tenance of the faculties on the high est standards. You should pay your professors more-at least as much,

A BROKEN MAN
Continued from Page One)

New York, and me coincidentallv
with the news that Mr.. Morse must
return to New York.
Anxious to clear the conflicting re-
ports that have made the status of
Mr.. Morse a matter of controversy
since paralytic stroke in the spring
of 1925, as well as to prove that their
father was mot seeking to evade the
law, the sons today prevailed upon
him to grant what was believed TO
be his first interview in years.
Mr.. Morse was seated in his favo-
rite corner of the spacious living room
of the dignitied old Morse homestead.
The man whose metoeric career in
finance with its tangled skein of le-
gal complications made his name
known throughout the world. seemed
without power to comprehend the
events of the past few days. AL
though his physician, DIR. Byron +.
Barker, had said is patient had his
clear moments, the sons described
their father as unable to carry on
nationally even in periods of greatest
lucidity.
Sitting in chair between his two
sons, he said Lord, no." when a staff
correspondent Of The Associated
Press asked him if he felt able to
travel to New York to face charges
of fraud against him there.
That was the one lucid comment
made by Mr.. Morse in the CONVERSE
ton between his sons and the news
paperman, which lasted more than
an hour. He sat erect in an old
Windsor chair while the others dis
cussed the death of his wife and of
the five-year- old New York indict-
ment charging him with using the
mails to defraud. Not once did he
show any interest in the proceedings
and direct questions brought only
rambling comments.
His right side appeared paralyzed,
although his sons said he could get
about the house with the aid Of an
attendant. His left hand held a cane

S6S,OOO,OOO Value
Of Contracts Let
In United States

New York, July demonstration
activity for the entire country, meas
ured by the value Of contracts let,
was much higher in the past week
than in the same period a year ago.
The value of contracts let totaled
S5S,23S,000, which compares with
SCI, 265, 600 in the preceding week, and
$20,163, 900 in the corresponding week
a year ago, Engineering News-Rec .
ord reports. The minimum costs
observed in the totals are $4,000 tor
industrial buildings and improve
ments, $4,000 for commercial build
ings, including residential projects,
and $4,000 for public jobs.
The money value of contracts let
in the United States from January /
to date amounted to $1,492.9S4, 600, aa
against 1,204.311,000 in the CORE
spending period a year ago. In the
total to date private work absorbed
1921 ,55S. 900, as against 672,430,000 A
year ago.
Prices for materials showed little
change in the past week, with the
tone of the market fairly steady. Ia
Dor rates are not expected to go
much higher between now and the
end of the year. Higher wage rates
in the skilled building trades, effec-
tive May l to July l, inclusive, have
| brought the level of construction
cost above that of 1925. Prices of
materials alone, however, have fol-
lowed q steady downward trend
since the first of the year. Present
construction cost. labor plus materi-
ais. is higher than at any time since
April, 1925.
Among the principal labor devel-
opments of the past week were the
engineers strike in Chicago and the
granting of S14 a day TO New York
structural iron workers.

STRAIGHT ROAD

continue the old Crooked road as an

be maintained in good repair.
The wording of the governor and
council order which finally settles the
matter over which speculation and ar

council and by the governor APPROX
ed"
When Governor Ralph 0. Brewster
affixed his signature to this order Iast
evening. his action marked the Gull
lnination of a busy day devoted IN
large part by both the Council and
the State Highway Commission TO
the matter. Beginning early in the
morning, Commissioners Charles II.
Innes of Saco, the chairman, charles
Murray OF Bangor, and William },
Lanigan, of Waterville, studied the
question from every side ana
threshed out the technical points
with the aid of Paul d. Sargent
their chief engineer.
Alter reaching their decision by a
vote of two to one in favor OF build
ing the straight road, the three COM
missioners went to the Executive
Chamber with word that they wish
ed to present their recommendations
to the Governor and the Councll.
Chairman Innes later stated that he
had been the sole dissenting voice
against the straight road.
The Council considered the matter
with the utmost care, remalnlngj IN
executive session for nearly two
hours while they examined the con-
illusions reached by the State High
way Commission. When they had
ordered these findings carried out.
they next approved several other

commissioners.

gained from the straight road. 1t was
pointed out that the new route Will
not shorten the distance between the
crossing under the railroad track and
Kennebunkport. On the contrary
the new road will be slightly longer.
To offset this disadvantage, however,
it was recalled that the traffic will
be able to continue using the old road
during the period of construction
and will eventually have a road with
but one curve in nearly six miles.
