But Six Vacant Spaces
 In Westminster Abby
Crisis Impending Regarding Burias in Famous English Shrine-Scoundrels and Nonenities May Be Re

ny HAYDEN CHURCH.

men of the future There are so many great men nowadays. and there will be so many in the days to come, that space for six seems inadequate"
 Seems inadequate" is certainly not overstating the case! As for the cannon,'s scheme. the objections to it are obvious, the principal one being that it is a pro- ject for some day" probably consid- erably distant one. Meanwhile, what of the present? At any time some great na- tional figure may die. so mighty per sonality that the British nation will de- mand that he or she be inferred in the abbey. Are the relatives of this great man or woman to be told that, unless he or she is cremated, it will be impos- s.ble to comply with the public will? And after the funeral urns of six such personages have been deposited in the abbey, what then?
 Once the fact is grasped by the peo- pie as a whole that there is actually no n ore room in Westminster Abbey for the EoneS of the great and famous, the force of public opinion may compel the abbey authorities to do the obvious thing. And the obvious thing is to make space for national heroes and leaders, such, for ex- ample, as the late Nurse Cavell by re- moving from the abbey the bones of
 
 lections of nonentities. and worse than lncnentities, including at least one would be murderer and several out-and- out tlaokguards. which occupy precious space and have been occupying it for centuries. T will not be buried in Westminster. said Sir Godfrey Kneller, the painter, as he lay dying, to his friend Pope. They do bury fools there." It was in 112S tkat Sir Godfrey delivered himself of this contemptuous opinion, and it is worth re calling now for the reason that it is | largely because the abbey contains SC many bodies and monuments of those whose only claim to distinction is the , fact that their dust lies there, that 1 entombment within it's walls has to be denied to the truly celebrated of ouI i cay, such. for example. the late Henry i M Stanley. the African explorer. whose claim to be numbered among England $ l great and heroic dead could not be dis I.Uted, but who, notwithstanding, was refused an abbey burial.

feels that he ought to feel, about Vest minister Abbey. The ordinary visitor modeshy attributes his unfamilarity with most of the names he sees inscribed on tombstone, monuments and tablets, to his own ignorance of things he ought to know in English history But as a mat ter of fact, among these "congregated bones" those that carried really great men through this world are far out numbered by the relics of mediocrities and melodies
 "The abbey" writes the Rev. William J. Lofts one of the few historians who dares tell the truth about it, lis full of memorials of second and third-rate celebrities
 In this supposed shrine of the immor- tals meet the good and the bad, the great and the petty. the noble and the ignoble, the famous and the infamous. much as they do in any ordinary grave yard. A ghosts of those commenorated in the ab- bey should assemble some night to take stock of one another. Unless sojourn in the other world begets much greater charity than is usually found in this, there would be much shifting and tilting of distinguished phantom noses, and dis gusted exclamations of ''how the deuce came you here?" Wilberforce might find himself hustled aside by a pugilist; Pitt might be moved to denounce swindling secretary of state; Wolfe might be con fronted by a spy; Tennyson might find himself in the company of a writer of scurrilouS verses.

Remarkable progress.' is the way
 John N. Willys, president of the VI.
 lys-Overland company, expresses his
 satisfa ction after a weeks visit in To-

 ditions at the big Overland plant.
 In conference with executives, NJ.
 Willys. during the week approved the
 plan for huge production pro-
 granme scheduled for the two new
 models the company will market thIs
 year. These new cars are Overlanl 1, which is now in quantity production,
 and the new Willys-Knight model. Production of overland already has passed 300 per day" MT. Willys said Within a short time I expect that the scale of production at the lToleoo plant will equal any previous figures in the history of the compang, and from then on should surpass for mer records" The plant here now ranks second in the country's total production of automobiles.
 Although the new Overland was de- signed two years ago. and engineer ing models have been under constant test for that entire period, factory pro- d6ction plans.' Mir. Willys said, "could not be started until late last Novem yer. when the armistice released the i pant from war work. And yet in Au- gust this year Overland was in pro- ! auction.
