Triple Tie Probable
 tn Conference Race

Chicago. November 12.--A triple tie for the Western Conference cham pionship between Michigan, Chicago and Iowa was the most prominent possibility on the football horizon tonight as a result of Illinois to 10 victory over the heretofore unde- feated Wisconsin team Saturday
 Iowa passed another barrier in de- feating Minnesota. 2S to 14, while Chicago was scoring q 14 to vic- tory over Ohio State. Michigan was idle but Northwestern by defeating Purdue 24 to IS. won it's first con ference game in two years and In- diana lost 33 to to West Virginia, this being the only game involving a conference team.
 Iowa's chance appear better than those of either of her rivals. for the Hawkeyes finished the hardest part of their schedule yesterday. Ohio and Northwestern. two of the weaker big ten elevens, are the remaining barriers to Iowa's championship hopes. Chicago has yet to meet two dangerous opponents in Illinois and Wisconsin, while Michigan meets Wisconsin. and Minneeeta. On form to date the leaders should all emerge victorious.
 Northwestern will be the only con ference team to take the field Satur- day and anticipated an easy victory over Monmouth.

HUGE CHOIR SINGS
 AT LYRIC THEATRE
Dr. Edmonds Breaches on Eye of Faithv at Service
 in Evening

Chorus choir of 50 voices and sev- eral soloists sang at the services of the Independent Presbyterian church at the Lyric theatre Sunday night. pr. Henry NJ Edmonds delivered a sermon.
 Among the principal numbers rem dered by the chorus, under the direc- ton of O. Gordon Erickson, were the anthem. The Eternal God is Thy Refuge" (west), and Matthews an- them, Keep Me, Lord, the Shadows Falling" both well executed and with excellent phrasing. while the offer tory solo of Mrs. May Shackelford also formed an outstanding feature of the musical program.
 Following the musical program Dr. Edmonds preached on the subject of The Eye of Faith" holding up Paul as the great man of faith, one who preached the evidence of things not seen, and the substance of things hoped for"
 "The eye of faith saw Birming gham before Birmingham was" said pr. Edmonds. And the early apostles of faith hold the reins now because they dared to trust their vision.
 We hear much of faith healing. and forget that all healing is faith healing. because first, faith is the attitude of receptivity. open arms, open mouth and above all, an open heart, and second; if there were no faith the remedies would not be used and fha medicine not taken.H
 pr. Edmonds also called attention to the fact that Paul in his epistle talks about two kinds of religion, one of works and the other one of faith, and declared that the first kind was one by outward observances, of lips and fingers. skin deep. mere veneer and mechanical, while the other form. that of faith. Is one of inner acceptance, of the hidden life. of conviction. of passion. feeling and of the heart.

 We placed flowers on every grave that we could identify as being that of soldier. sailor or marine of the World war" said Arthur Greenwood "comrade Smith gave us all the flowers we could possibly use and 1 estimate that we located in the neighborhood of thirty graves. I was surprised to notice the small number that were marked.
 "The government furnishes a marker for every one who served. as understand 1t, and all that it is necessary to do is to call on Sen ator Underwood. Senator Heflin or Congressman Huddleston to get 1t. It would be of great assistance to those of us who wish to place flowers on these graves if they were marked and I hope that someone interests themselves In getting a marker on every one of them before next MIemo- rial Day.

Musical Birmingham paid tribute in It's own way Sunday to the soldiers for whom the nation mourned on Armistice Day. While the orchestra played a portion of the majestic Fifth Symphony of Tschaikowsky, a thousand hearts were bowed and minds were turned back to four years ago. It was the seasons second or chestral concert of the Birmingham Music association.
 The program said, In memory of those who made the supreme sacri- flee" Beginning in a sombre key of grief and suffering. the symphony swelled into steady paeon of vic- tory, proclaimed by the bugle-like cornet. The tone then fell into one of reflection and meditation that was beautiful and the audience was car ried we'll eternityward on a final sweep of the strings.
 The spirit of patriotism also found expression in the singing of Amer ica" and The Star Spangled Banner" by the audience. Practically every voice in the auditorium joined in the chorus.
 The concert opened with Tampa" :" an overture by F. Herold, in which violins pizzicatoed delightfully."- upon a clarinet background.
 Mrs. W. D. Fonville was the soloist. Her program selection was, "Vieni Ognoi Sedel." by R. Mulder. It was an exceptionally artistic colorature solo. It reminded one of Mrs. Brewers excellent rendering of the Shadow Song on the opening of the season a week before. Mrs. Fonville's solo stood quite alone, however. as a splendid execution of a difficult part. For an encore, Mrs. Fonville dropped lightly into one of Riley's homespun poems, The Cob lins Will Get You If You Don't Watch Out" which she sang and in- terprstsd captivatingly.
 The two final selections of the or chestra were, ITO Violet" from J. s. Zamecnik'g Memoirs" and
