west the temperature is zero or be-
low.
At Superior, Wis, binding, wet
snow accompanied 6O-mile hurricane,
with the result that snow drifts four
to six feet deep obstructed the princl-
pal streets. The citizens in their
homes were literally showed under.
The estimated velocity of wind all
night was between sixty and seventy
miles an hour All night the snow fell,
while the wind increased in force.
Lake Superior was lashed into boiling

the ambassador declared that no alter

Tewfk Pasha, the foreign minister,
also tried to enlist the sympathles of
the German and Italian ambassadors,
but his efforts were equally futile. The
unanimity OF the powers, including

CHICAGO is CHAMPION.
University Football Team Wins
Over Michigan Eleven.


Over Michigan Eleven.
Chicago University's football team
is champion of the West. BY the mar
rowest margin possible, "by hair"
Stages great team wrested the laurel
from the Michigan team, which has
worn 1t for four years, defeating the
Wolverines at Marshall field in Chi
cago by the score Of 9 to O..
The battle between the gridiron war
riors representing the Maize and Blue
and the Maroon was one of the
fiercest, most spectacular and most
closely contested ever seen in the Mid
die West. The two teams were evenly
matched and the struggle surged up
and down the field, almost all the
fight being made between the thirty
five-yard lines.
Victory came to the Maroons unex-
pectedly and dramatically. Neither
side had gained any appreclable ad-
vantage over its opponent up to the
middle of the second half. Then Eek
ersall dropped back to punt, the Ma
room offense being held. The kick was
made from the center of the field and
the ball sailed high and far away,
close to the Wolverine goal posts. Den
ny Clark, playing back with Barlow,
caught the pigskin just behind Michi-
gans goal line, and attempted to run
it out.
At this point came the turn in the
tide of affairs that robbed Michigan
of the championship and gave 1t to
Chicago-a quick appreciation of the
possibilities in the play, seen by Cap
tain Catlin of the Maroons. Nobody
interfered for Clark, who was attempt
ing to find an opening in the on-rush-
ing line Of the Maroons He stepped
inside the field--a fatal mistake-and
in an instant Badenock was upon him,
stopping his progress only momentar-
lily, for he missed the tackle, but Cap
tain Catlin pounced on the Wolverine
In an instant and threw him back be-
hind his own goal line for safety,
giving Chicago its two points. This
was the great active incident of a
game which crowned Chicago with the
laurels fof which it has fought for
four years.

ILLITERAcY DYING OUT.
Comparisons with Foreign Nation
Show FavOrably.


According to a bulletin issued by
the census bureau about 1O6 persons
out of 1000 in the United States over
10 years old are unable to write
which is equivalent to about one in
ten. OF the native white population
only 40 out Of every 1000 or fewer
than one in twenty, Of the foreign born
whites, 1913 out of every 1000, and OF
the negroes AS out of every 1000 are
illiterate.
International comparisons, restricted
as far as possible to corresponding
classes of the population, are OIL the
whole, favorable to this country, indi.
eating that in most European countries
illiteracy is much more prevalent
than 1t is here, although the United
States Is still far behind Germany,
Sweden, Norway, Denmark and Switz
erland. There also is ground for salts.
faction In the statistical evidence that
illlteracy is being reduced steadily. In
1890 the number of iliterates in every
1000 was 1873 for the total population
62 for the native white population, 13O
for the foreign-born white and 56S fol
negroes, Indians and Mongolians.
The women are shown to be more
illiterate than the men, the illiteracy
for women being 112 in each 1000 and
for men 101. But the contrast is less
marked than 1t was in 1880, when the
illiteracy for the two sexes was 144
and 1913, respectively. In explanation
of the fact that the girls have caught
up with the boys, it is suggested that
boys are less subject to parental con.
troll than girls and more prone to play
truant; and that they also are more
frequently required to contribute to
the family income by becoming wage
earners when they should be in
school.
In the country the illiteracy among
children is so in each 1000; in the
city, using this term to designate col.
Iectively cities of over $4,000 inhabit-
ants, 1t is only 10 in each 1000. The
contrast is least in the North Atlantic
States. In this section child illlteracy
in the city is 8 to 1000; and in the
country 8 to 1000. In the South the
difference is very marked; In the
South Atlantic division, 80 and 1893 fol-
city and country respectively, and in
the South Central 45 and 1S1 1000.
Illiteracy is in general greater IN
the South than the North for all class.
es Of the population. Perhaps the fair.
est basis of comparison between the
two sections is that for native white
children living in cities Of over 25,OOC
Inhabitants. In the North Atlantic d.
vision the illiteracy for this class OF
children is 81, and in the North Cen
trail. 10; in the South Atlantic division
It is s.3, and in the South Central
1877.
There are fewer illiterates among
the children of foreign-born parents
than among those of natives, owing
1t is said, to the fact that greater
portion Of them live in cities.
