ARRANGING DETAILS
OF SECOND 4. {. f.

General Albert Greenlaw of this
city, national executive committee
man from Maine of the American
Legion, is a member Of the France
Convention Travel Committee and
last week was called to Indianapolis
to meeting of that body.
More than nineteen ocean-going
liners, the ships that will carry the
Second A. E. F. in September, 1927.
when the American Legion holds its
convention in Paris. France, will be
inspected this month, so that the very
best of accommodations will be avail
able for the migrating Yanks.
At the behest Of the many steam
ship companies cooperating in or
ganizing this tremendous peace-time
movement, the France Convention
Travel Committee will be their guests
during the middle of this month. The
committee will inspect thoroughly
each vessel, for upon its work depends
the comfort of the men who will shove
off in '27 for the great pilgrimage.
Nothing will be overlooked from bow
to stern.
That thousands Of Legionnaires ap-
preciate the great significance of the
trip. is shown by the marked jump in
the total Of Paris savings accounts
during the past month. Hundreds of
banks show marked increase,
In a bulletin to headquarters last
week, John J. Wicker, Jr., chairman
of the France Convention Committee,
gave warning to Legionnaires to
make arrangements about a longer
vacation period in 1927. He urged
that Legionnaires planning to make
the trip forego their vacations in
1925 and add the time to their holiday
period in 1927. That will provide the
necessary four week, which it will
take to make the round trip.
The members of the France Con-
vention Travel Committee are as fol-
lows: John J. Wicker, Jr., Virginia,
chairman; George Hatfield. Califor-,
mia; Bowman Elder. Indiana; Albert
Greenlaw, Maine; Alton T. Roberts,
Michigan; Sam Reynolds. Nebraska:
Wade II. Phillips. North Carolina; B.
w. Wall, Indiana: J. Monroe john
son, South Carolina.

CAN TELL SUNS
SPEED, CLAIM

KANSAS CITY, Mo-, Jan. DIR.
Dayton c. Miller, of Cleveland
professor of physics at the Case
School of applied science, and
president of the American Physical
Society, was today awarded the
$1,000 prize by the American As
ISOLATION for the Advancement of
Science. for the most notable con.
tribution to the advancement of
science
DIR. Miller's contribution to the
world of science is a new theory
one which he claims annuls much
of Einstein's work on RELATIVELY
that an "ether drift" exists, because
of which, after experiments con-
Quoted on Mt. Wilson. he says, he
can compute the speed at which the
universe travels.
The sun, he said, travels at the
rate of 40 miles a second-=a con
tradiction to other theories that the
orb is stationary. By application
Of his "ether drift" theory, the
scientist also claims other universes'
rate of speed through space may
be calculated.
The convention ended today with
reading of papers by leading scien.
lists on geological experiments.

people, which was a large factor in
causing the declaration OF war
against the United States. remains

rect1y affected !. by such economic
factors as labor, taxation, transpOr-
fation, and other important items
on which any immediate marked
reductions are improbable. Also,
our constantly advancing standards
Of living constitute an influence
equally as powerful as any purely
economic factor. It is true, build
ing costs have been on higher
level than general prices, especially
in certain cities: but the fear that
the bottom will fall out of the build
ing market is undoubtedly exag-
gerated.
Building wages, 1t must be re-
membered, depend upon the supply
of and demand for building laborers,
on the strength OF labor organiza-
ton and industry, on the workers
standard OF living. In this di-
rection, there seems little hope of
any substantial lowering of building
costs, though labor efficiency will
doubtless increase and the payment
of bonuses be eliminated as the
strain upon the industry becomes
more normal.
Union organization in the skilled
building trades is highly developed
and the men are therefore in posi-
ton of strenuous opposition to any
attempt to debate seriously, the Inn
proved standards of living which
they have recently achieved: Thus,
next year will undoubtedly see a
continuation of the 1925 wage
scales which are the highest in the
history of the industry, being about
lie per cent above the 1913 level.
While there win probably be suf-
ficfent common labor, the indica-
lions are that the industry will
again be confronted with a short
age Of bricklayers and plasterers.
Perhaps the greater hope for
lowering. OF building costs is to be
based upon the efforts which are
now being made to increase the
efficiency of management Mand
eliminate waste in the, construction
industry. to improve the work of
layout and design on the part OF
architects. to secure better or
ganization of work on the job, to
eliminate seasonal ups and downs"
of the industry by foresighted plan
ming, to achieve a greater regular
izatfon of the industry throughout
a period of years
To the extent that such efforts
are successful, the result should be
slow and gradual lowering of the
level Of costs in this important in
dustry.
Financing Breaks All Records
The year Of 1925 has marked the
highest development ever known in
the real estate mortgage bond field
and larger proportion Of real
estate financing than ever before
has been carried out under this
method The indications are that
during 1926 this wonderful record
will be maintained. The real estate
bond houses realize the importance
they play as a national real estate
factor and no one who is true to
his trust will knowingly participate
! in the economic 'blunder of over
production.
Increasing recognition by the in
vesting public of the merits of the
real estate mortgage bond has con-
tributed to the prosperity of the
country by unlocking great reser-
voirs of capital which would not
otherwise have been available for
building purposes. In, no previous
year has the vokmne Of real estate
mortgage bonds offered for sale
reached the magnitude attained in
1925. At no time has this type OF
security stood so high in the esteem

"A violent protest has risen against

now above prices Of beef, pork and
