Easy to Set House Ahre.
Fulginita used to tell me how easy
1t was to set a house on FIRE. He said
he always used kerosene oil and
soaked the floors and the stairs. Then
he said he used a certain size of
candle and arranged 1t SO that when
the fire broke out in the Lodi house
he was safe in Newark or in some
other city many miles away. Just be-
fore the North Arlington fire Full

j. Victor d'Aloia. of this city, and
p. w. Stage, prosecutor, counsel
for the defendants, opposed the add
mission of the testimony of the fire

MED the motion.
William NJ. Clemens, arson expert
of New York, collected the evidence
that ended in the capture of Lupico
and Fulglnita. On cross examination
Lawyer d'Aloia asked the young
woman: rs It not fact that you
have changed your story the last two
weeks because you expect to go free?"
to which Amelia replied, Certain

Peter Kuhn. an insurance broker,
of Lyndhurst, said a policy was is

that about two weeks thereafter, or
on August 10, the house was de-
stroyed by fire. On the morning fol-
lowing the fire Paresi called at his
office with a list purporting to be the
proof Of loss which he wanted him
to accept.
Julius Diamond, Of New York
prisoner in the Hackensack jail tes-
tilted that Fulginita had admitted
several cases of arson to him in the
Jail.
The case will. it is expected, go to
the jury tomorrow.
The arrest of the woman in Harri-
son was the first step in running
down the alleged incendiaries. She
was at work In the plant of Chem &
Co, at Passaic and Reynolds ave-
nues, when the. police surprised her.
The woman tried to effect an escape
at the time but was prevented
While she was at the Harrison po-
lice station she steadfastly professed
her innocence and protested she did
not know Lupico or Fulginita. A
search of her room In a Harrison
house later resulted in the finding
of letters addressed to Lupico, and
which had to do with the issuance of
fire insurance policies.
A peculiar coincidence in connec-
ton with the trial Of the girl is the
fact that on the day when she was
first brought before the grand jury
this week the police arrested at the
Chem factory, in Harrison, three
men who are alleged TO have been
implicated in a recent murder in

Fatheads.

Anybody can be a fathead. There
are fathead farmers and fathead law
yers, any number of fathead politic
ians. Il few fatheGd policemen and
even AN occasional suffra gette fathcad.
Anybody who IS gifted with sufficient
egotism, sufficient lack of imagination.
sufficient blindness to the Importance
of other people and to the world in
general rs compared to himself, can
be a pretty good sort of fathead 1t
is the easiest thing there is 20 be. il
is even easier than being pill or Il
goat or a four-fusher, because while
1t combines the eleme nts OF all these,
ii originates in an innocuouS selt-Sat-
isfavtlon which is common tos many
people and easily acquired By others.
The special particular kindsof q fat
head, however, that is Of ufriisslni ir-
tcrest is the college fathcad. He Is
the primitive perfect. unspoiled speci-
men. We have thousands of him and
arc proud of him. He lives in a Grae-
co-Nenetian Romanesque architectural
phenomenon which he calls the FRAT
house" He is provided with regular
and generous checks from ambitions
parents. He conGescends 10 attend lee
lures as often as necessary and spends
the rest of his time pursuing those
pleasures known only and always to
college Jouths.
He has a plying disregard for the
faculty. a decided prejudice against
fatheads of rival fraternities and u
more liberal contempt for those of IN
ferior standing. He rises late. break
fasts, lunches and dimes we'll and
dances and 'fusses'-a peculiar word
which means calling upon sirl--at his
leisure. Oldfashioned amusements like
debating and nightshirt parades are
unknown and undesired. Debating
would bore him ana nightsnirt parade
would shock him.
Fortunately, a man can be a college
fathead for only four years. That is a
long time and some of them never re-
cover, bur the majority Of them get
over it during the four years following
graduation. Working for fourteen or
sixteen dollars week. and living in
one small room, and eating at dairy
lunches has been known to cure
college fathead in six months. And If
college fathead is once cured he is
