MICHIGAN VS. IOWA. CHICAGO.ILLINOIS
These Opponents Evenly Matched
 in Big Ten Series Today

Chicago, H., Nov. 3.--Nine western conference football teams will go into action today, six in conference cham pionship struggles, with indications that al least two of the contests will be undecided until the final whistle. Four of the teams in action today are undefeated. and two of these, Illinois and Chicago met
 On the basis of done, Chicago and Illinois. meeting at Urbana in a game opening the Illini Stadium, and Mich igan and Iowa clashing at Iowa City, are almost evenly matched.
 Illinois Has Edge
 Chicago won from Northwestern 13 to Q and Illinois beat the Purple a9 to 0, but Northwestern admittedly plays its best game of the sea son against Chicago, its neighboring rival. On this basis, Illinois, with its great Red" Grange, has the edge and this was further increased by last minute an- nouncement that the mighty Harry Thomas, the half on which Chicago pins much of its hope, will be ineligi- ble.
 An opeA Game
 At Urbana it will be a case of an open game. probably a forward pass ing game of Grange and Rritton, sup ported by well organized Illinois line both on offensc and defense, against the plunging game of Zoru, John Thomas and Pyott; two expert ends in Dickson and Lampe, and Chicago line that has shown up cx- ceptioRally strong. Indications are that each team will start the game with its strongest lineup. Both have plenty of surplus material, although Illinois seems 10 be better fixed for secondary players than its rival.
 Michigan Strong
 Michigan's victory 23 to Q over Ohio State and Iowa's 20 to victory over the Buckeyes show these teams to be almost even. on dope, despite the fact that Illinois has eliminated Iowa from championship consideration.
 Michigan will invade Iowa City with an array of football talent that would make the hearts of an ordinary team quake with fear, but Iowa has team that is not ordinary. When Michigan swamped Ohio State on October 20 by score Of 23 to 0, re- ports were heard that nothing could beat Yost's team.
 But week later Iowa came along and almost duplicated tho feat, and tt was feat. for wilce's Ohio team is far from being of tho weak sister variety as Workman's play along makes it dangerous in any company.
 Minnesota expects to have little trouble in disposing of Northwestern today Tho Gophers have played only one conference game, that with Wis. eonsin and it resulted in a o to 0 tic, | while Northwestern has been beaten by Indiana, Chicago and Illinois.

Introduction of Enemies of Pest
Progressing Rapidly.
Government Agents in France Have
Been Constantly Collecting Insects
Which Are to Be Liberated in
New England.

The work of introducing the natural
enemies of the corn bOrer from Europe
made rapid strides during the last
fiscal year, according to the report of
the bureau of entomology of the Uni
ted States Department of Agriculture.
Agents at Hyeres, southern France,
have been almost constantly collecting
corn borer to America, where these
have been assorted and reared, to be
subsequently liberated In large num-
bers in the heavily infested regions of
New England. More than 100000
specimens of a single species of para
site were liberated in this manner
during the summer of 1922, and thou
sands of individuals of several other
kinds were also liberated in this re-
gion.
The present plans of the bureau in
clude the continuation of this work,
in order to insure, where possible, the
establishment Of all available bene-
fetal insect enemies Of the pest be-
fore 1T becomes widely distributed
throughout the United States. With
this in view, what promises to be sue

The Seven Points in Good Citizenship

mans citizenship may be measured.
And these learned persons finally
agreed upon seven points or specifica-
lions of the attitude of a good citizen
toward his country.
The good citizen desires to create
more than he consumes, striving to
add something to the worlds accumu-
lated surplus of wealth, knowledge, or
beauty; he loves his country and de-
sires to fit himself for her service. to
give himself in her service, and to
risk even life in her defense; he de-
sires to fulfill his customary civic OBJ
legations, such as voting, paying taxes
and serving on jury; he has a pas
sion for justice and fair play and for
bearing his part in government, he
has respect for law and constituted
authority; he recognizes the mutual
interdependence of men and cooper
ates with others for the welfare of
all he recognizes the need of order
ing his life in obedience to principles
and ideals binding on all men, and
superior to the present advantage or
desire of the moment; he desires not
only to serve his own generation, but
to make possible higher attainment by
generations to come.

Now Wireless Communication Trust?

The activities of the Radio corpora
ton, some of which are now un 1ergo-
ing investigation by the federal trade
commission, are alleged to be In the
direction of establishing a wireless
communication monopoly through con-
troll of patents, through exclusive traf-
fic agreements, and through direct
governmental grants and provisions
comforting exclusive right to valuable
bands of wave lengths.
The Radio corporation is reported to
have closed large number of eXclu-
sive contracts which will prevent any
serious competition in domestic and
foreign wireless communication. In
the case of a country where radio is
government monopoly such an exclu-
sive contract would give the Radio
corporation a monopoly of wireless
communication from that country to

public or whether the right can be ac-
quired by private interests by proc
ess analogous to squatting.

Has Pork Barrel" Gone Out of Style?

LAS the legislative pork barrel

antiquities and 'log rolling" ceased to
be the favorite indoor sport of con-

missing. Log rolling has become so
