NEGRO GIRL MAY BE PYROMANIAC

Chicago, December 26.-( -(Special.)- Accused of being a pyromaniac, Jennie Brown, a negro girl F years old, is under arrest at the Englewood police station She is charged with having set fire to two churches on the South side
 The arrest of the girl. it Is thought, will bring solution to the mysterious fires which have nearly brought de- struction to at least five churches in the Englewood territory
 For two weeks the police of the En- glewood station, assisted by Fire At torney Frank J. Hogan. have worked d to solve the mysterious church fires, which have caused consternation in the Southside.
 The damage resulting from the blazes started by the pyromaniac has caused loss of thousands of dollars, Search was futile until the police re- ceived the clew which they believe will solve the mystery.
 The girl was arrested at the home of her grandfather, Alvin Harvey, in Ar mour avenue. Two threatening letters were received by Rev. R. II. Fisher, pastor of the Drexel Park Presbyterian church; Rev. J. w. Frid, pastor of the Tn oburn Methodist Episcopal church. and the pastor of the Swedish Baptist oh urch each received one. These led to her arrest. The Thoburn church was damaged s10,000 by fire. The others were damaged over $500 each
 The Brown girl was first suspected by the police last August when a two- story frame building in Aberdeen steert was partly destroyed by a mysterious fire.
 A few days before the fire Miss Neal, owner of the building, received a letter through the mail in which the writer stated that her home would be de- stroyed by fire unless she put $50 in a cigar box under the front porch.

Complaint in Germany That 1t lis Made
Too Accessible.

In Germany there is strong move
ment against over-education OF the
masses. The complaint is that too
many schools OF various kinds exist
and that education is made too accessi-
BILE. The result is an intellectual
proletariat large and growing
class of educated men for whom there
are no places in the professions and
the various services of the state. The
salaries or earnings of engineers, ply
sicians, lawyers, teachers, architects,
and SO on, have steadily decreased by
reason of excessive competition or
overshpply of the market. The teach
ing profession, in particular, is so con-
gested that men have to wait years
and years for permanent positions,
with the benefits connected with them.
And it is a fact that this intellectual
Droletariat" furnishes thousands of
recruits to the social democracy, the
party of discomfort and radical ideas
about social eorganization.-Los An

business. The man said he would,
and after asking the ticket chopper to
pass the word over that his faro was
paid handed out cigar to the chop
per and came over to our side. He
was greeted with a laugh by the man
who had called to him, and naturally
asked what it was for. Didn't you
give that ticket chopper a 15-cent
cigar?' asked the friend. The man
admitted that he gave the kind he
usually smoked. WELL said the other,
why didn't you just come across with
out saying anything about it, pay your
fare and save dime? The man
rubbed his chin and looked serious.
He had become so accustomed to tip
ping everybody for any sort of favor
that he never thought OF the other
