ton and execution Of
broad, humane and unusu-
al standards of business
practice-gave him new in
SEPARATION in his work.
It was only three years ago
in March of this year that
Mr.. Wilson gave his name
and his energy and his
ability and his heart to the
business of Wilson & Com
pany,
asked many people while
[ was in Chicago what was
the name of the business
firm to which the name
Wilson & Company had
been given. =
Not a single one could tell
me.
All they knew was that
the name Wilson 6 Com
pany had become very well
and very favorably known
and that it stands for the
highest ideals in business
practice-that It stands
for the highest principles
in service to the public
facts that are borne out by
the statement that the bus
mess has more than trebled
in volume in three years
, Everywhere 7 go-and E
. meet hundreds of people
every week Of my ife--L
hear that Mr.. Wilson puts
{ more heart and soul into
, business than any man
= they ever heard of.
Chicago people are very
5 proud Of the name Wilson.
They think that Wilson &
- Company, by their meth
DDS and the heart they put
E into the business, are add
ing to the fame of Chicago.
1t is a splendid test of a
mans character and his
{ popularity when his home
G town people speak up for
rhim, enthusiastically and
affectionately as Chicago
people do speak Of Thomas

n is true, don't you?
: You have examples in your
e hometown, haven't you?
: You know the men and

1 character that any man
= can receive is that given to
L him by the men and wo1n-
en- with whom he comes in

e is liked very much by ev-
crvbOdy that meets him
S but | have not formed nv

Plan To Sell At
Auction HapSburg
Art Collection

VIENNA, Oct. 12-(By The Associ-
ated Press.)-The Hapsburgs' cen
turies-old accumulation of art OBJ
jects, part of which is to be sold, is
estimated to be worth $21, 900, 900.
Paintings, rare manuscripts, Gobelin
tapestries, old Oriental porcelain, gold
smiths and silversmith's work by the
most famous Florentine jewellers and
historical furniture are included. The
furniture includes that of the room of
Schoenbrunn Castle occupied by Ma
poleon in 1909.
The purpose of the sale, as announc-
ed is to create a func from which the
poor may be fed for a time. All will
not be sold but enough so it will be
the greatest sale in the history of
artistic auctions. The peace confer
ence ruled these We're the property of
Austria.
The food that is rationed to the pub
lie now costs 5000, 900, 900 crowns, and
Austria is almost entirely without
credit. 1t is believed that the returns
from the art auction will raise at
least a portion of one years supplies.
The Gobelin tapestries from the
Schoenbrunn Castel OF the late EN-
peror Franz Josef alone are valued
at 1000, 900, 900 crowns. Other articles
to be sold include the treasures of
the Hoftakelkammer (court table
chamber) including the magnificent
serices in gold work. They were used
by Franz Josef only on cry special
state occasions.
The question, how the sale is to be
arranged, in order to get as much
money as possible, has not yet been
decided. First there must be an un-
derstanding with the Entente missions
since important sales of state proper
ty cannot be made without their per-
mission. The favorite plan however,
if it is possible, is to place the arti-
cles at a public auction, the most un-
usual the world of art has ever seen.
In that case the auction would prob
ably take place in London rather than
Vienna, for it is the Center of art au-
ctions for the world, and easier to
reach than Vienna.

Auto Shortage In
England Causes
Much PrOfteering

LONDON, Oct. Thy The Associ-
ated Press.)-A determined effort to
break up profiteering in automobiles
is being made by the British Motor
Trades Association and the Motor
Agents Union. Heavy fines have
been imposed in cases where agents
have advanced the prices fixed by the
manufacturers. If the dealer refuses
to pay the fine, he is cut off from all
source of replenishing his stock.
Another form of ~profiteering in cars
is often encouraged, it is said, by the
private automobilist. On receiving a
new car, the owner in a number of
reported cases has re-sold it to a sec
ond-hand dealer and pocketed an i'm
mediate profit of $500 or more. Such
is the demand for cars, that the sec
ond-hand dealer has nc difficulty in
disposing of the automobile at an
other $500 profit for himself.
Owing to the shortage of cars, every
dealer has a long list of %expectant
purchasers and attempts have been
made to bride statesmen to shift the
names of waiting customers from the
bottom to the top of the list, In one
instance reported to the Motor Agents
Union, the bride offered a salesman
was $3.50.

Bishop Of London
UnfOldS Plans For
Union OF Churches

LONDON, Nov. 1-(By The Associ-
ated Press.)-Plans for a reunion of
the Church of England and the
Wesleyans were announced by the
Bishop of London in an address on
the Reunion of Christendom" Just
delivered in st. Paul S Cathedral. The
Bishop supplemented This, to England,
startling proposal with the statement
would want to join chem. He believ-
ed, h declared, that the time would
come when they would be in close as
ISOLATION not only with the Churches
of Greece and of Russia, but even with
the Church OF Rome.
The plan for the counting of the
two years conference between the
Wesleyans and the Church of Eng
land, the Bishop said. Briefly, it
would provide that after January l,
1921, there should be no ordinations
in either church which were not con
sidered valid by the other. There
would be a bishop with the presby-
tiers at the laying on Of hands, and at
the end of forty years there would be
no Wesleyan ministe who would not
have been ordained by a bishop of
the Church of England. In order to
have Wesleyan ministers episcopally
ordained at once, twelve p~resbyters
would be ~consecrated bishops.
The Bishop asserted that the
Church of England was powerless
when the war broke out, because OF
the divisions of C~hrictendom. 1t was
equally powerless in dealing with the
great labor disputes Of today. The
Church as an organized society, he
said, really did not count in any OF
these great affairs.

Japanese Editors
Think Americans
Strongly Prejudiced

TOXIC, Nov. 9-(By The Associat-
ed Press)-Anti-Japanese agitation is,
says the Nichi-Nichi, d calendar event
in the United States and it is not
astonishing that there should at this
time, be a revival of it in the Pacific
states. 1t is high time, says the pa
per, to appeal to thoughtful Ameri-
cans when Legislative bills and reso-
buttons directed against Japanese and
resulting from such agitations are pro
posed. and these go the length OF inn
pairing the good name of the Japan
csc Empire.
Former Senator, Theodore E. Bur
ton, of Ohio, now staying in Toxic, is
quoted as saying the agitation is
engineered for purposes of American
domestic politics, and has nothing to
do with racial %prejudices. The Nichi-
Nichi disagrees with Mr.. Burton and
expresses the belief that racial pre-
judice plays an important part in these
agitations, with the danger of imperll-
ing the friendly relations between Jap
an and the United States.
Discussing the Japanese-American
relations the Yorodzu says that when
the United States entered the war in
1917, the Japanese 10 America gave
their most hearty support to the Amer
lear cause, and even ( e Pacific states
became pro-Japanese. all their former
anti-Japanese agitation being COM
pleted shelved for the time.
But from about the time when the
armistice was signed last year, and
especially after the introduction OF
the racial equality proposition at the
Paris conference by Japan, the pendu-
lum again began to swing backward
and one more anti-Japanese move
ments, in the form of Legislative and
other measures, are nj W rife through
out California and other western
states"
In short" says the paper, the
United States is now seized by Japan
ophobia. This" says the journal, lis
a shame to American intelligence"
