And there are lots of other little
stories about the little old lady with

vince you that you cannot always
judge the characters of people by
their faces.
Sometimes 1 think nature makes
a mistake when she models a face,
and then feels sorry and tries to even
it up by giving a great big heart.
And, personally, would rather
look like the little old lady and have
a heart like she has than to have
the most beautiful face if nature was
stingy with my heart, wouldn't you?

NELSON ANSWERS REQUEST OF
"OBSERVER"

"oBSERVER"
A citizen of Chicago who signs
himesf observer" has written let
ter to State Factory Inspector Nell
son requesting an investigation of the
death of John Sexton, young cleo
trical worker, who was killed in an
elevator shaft at the New Continental
and Commercial National Bank
building Sunday. :
observer" supplies the informa-
ton that Thompson-Starrett often
make their employees work on Sun
day and operate the elevators them
selves. In this way often totally in
experienced men are allowed to run
the elevators. 1t is "Observer's'' be-
lief that the death of John Sexton
was caused by this.
He further requested that Inspec-
tor Nelson answer through the col
umns of The Day Book.
Here is Mr.. Nelson's answer:
ITO an Observer: The state fac
tory inspectors office cannot dictate
to an employer as to who he may
employ to operate an elevator, except
that no minor under the age of six
teen may be employed.
Our department has jurisdiction
as to the doors and safeguards in
connection with elevators.
Further replying to your inquiry,
am compelled to say that the depart
ment of factory inspection has no au-
thority under any law to specify who
is to give first aid to any injured per-
son, such as calling up police ambu-
lance, etc.
"Our Deputy Inspector Sheldon in
vestigated the accident which oc-
CURED at the new Continental and
Commercial Bank building and the
results of his inspection can be
brought out at the coroner's inquest
if he is subpoened.

FOURTH ALARM FIRE
 AT COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY
Fire in. Boiler House Threatened a
 Nearby Dornfitory.

New York, Oct. 10.-Flre which. broke out in a two-story building on Columbia university campus shortly after midnight this morning threat ened to spread to nearby dormitories. causing the sounding of the fourth alarm at 1.30 o'clock. The burning building. used as a boiler house and gymnasium, was within 25 feet of one of the dormitories.
 Fifteen minutes later there was 1it- tie hope that the gymnasium. with its lockers and athletic clothes; the e6fi- torial rooms of the Columbia Specta- tor; the college registration office: the swimming pool: the rooms occupied by the national commissioned prison labor-all in the burning building-all could be saved. It appeared, however. that the flames would not spread and that none of the dornitories would be destroyed.
 A number of students who had left a. smoker, ran into the building and saved some of the Columbia athletic torphies. notably the one captured by the college crew in the intercollegiate regatta at Poughlzeepsie last June.
 Across the street, in Whittier hall, many girl students of Barnerd and women teachers in the Barnard Teach ers' college were asleep in dormitories. They were aroused but the building they were in did not appear to be in danger of burning. z
 It was thought that the fire started in the boiler room in the basement.
 At o'clock this morning it was believed that the lire was under con- trol.

AMERICAN COMMITTEE
 HAS AIDED 9,5e5 PERSONS.
Small Number Are Still Marooned at
 Various Points.

London, Oct. g. p. m.-During the past two weeks the American relief committee has given financial assist ance to 241 persons, making a total of 9,595 to date. During this period, something like 5000 Americans were United States, bringing the total of departures up to over 100000 since war was declared.
 Tt is evident that the American tourists have pretty well returned home,'' said H. c. Hoover, chairman of the committee, today. There is, how ever, a small but steady stream of Scure corners of the world. For ex- ample, during the last day or two we have had one gentleman who had been helped along by the American authorf- ties from as far as Mozambique, an- other from Astrakan and a third from Calcutta 1t is probable that this small stream of American travellers will be flowing into London from out of the way places for some months.
 Another situation, however, has presented itself to the commftte ee which will require it's activities throughout the war. There is a. resi- dent colony of Americans in Europe of somewhere in tn eneighborhood of 100000 people, comprising officials and professional and mercantile classes The latter are connected largely with export trade. A very large majority of these persons are. of course. able to take care of themselves in times of distress. but among them are consid- erable numbers of Americans who are gagged in small business enterprises The resources of this class have been badly dislocated by the war and much acute distress is developing"

SHIPMENTS OF COPPER
 TO NEUTRAL NATIONS
Not to Be Permitted to Get Into the
 Hands of 6elIiaersnt Nations,

Washington, Oct. s.-Senator wazsh of Montana suggested to the presi-! dent today that Great Britain be re- quested to solicit guarantees from neu- tral nations that they would not per- init consignments of American copper to get into the hands of belligerent4 nations. The state department is nowl seeking such guarantees from Holland. Norway, Sweden and Italy, but tha senator believes English should do this.
 There is no reason why friendly nations should not continue trading in copper" the senator said. Yet Eng land has undertaken to interfere with all shipments of American copper to neutral nations. There is no extra ordinary shipment of American cop per and none of it is going to belli- gerents through neutral nations. The United States usually ships to Holland about 225,000.000 pounds of copper an- nua1fy. From January 1 to June l of this year we shipped to Holland 99, ,000, 900 pounds of copper and ship ments to Holland since that time have been considerably less in each month"

PRESSING ENEMY
 IN EAST PRUSSIA
Conducting Offensive Movement All
 Along the Front. m

,, Petrograd, Oct. 9.-The following of fcial statement has been given out by the general staff:
 < '.On October 8 our troops on the East Ppussian border continued Ss to press the enemy who had formed two lighting .croups A.
 f The first group was operating in, the region of V1adislayoff, and Wir- ballen (both towns in the government of Suwalki. Russian Poland). Our troops dislodged them from Vladislav- off and surrounded them on the north On October 8, however. this group still maintained it's position east by south of Wirballen. All it's attempts to take the offensive at that point failed, the enemy sustaining heavy losses
 'The second group of the enemy, a very strong one, commenced an en- ergetic attack in the vicinity of Ratch- ka Lake and Bakalarzewo (East Prus- sia). Towards morning on October 8 we assumed a vigorous offensive against their front. The enemy, cov- cred by strong rear guard, tried; it seems, to get out of the sphere of the battle. Our troops captured by suc- cessful assaults the positions which the enemy was trying to hold. We
 finally occupied Lyck (East Prussia).
 Our offensive all along the front continues energetically.'

Calling for Stamp on Bills of 1adfng

Washington, Oct. 9.-Newspaper publishers generally are preparing to ask the senate to change portions of the house war revenue bill providing for @ stamp on the bills of lading on all packages. so that it will not be necessary to attach bills of lading to bundles of newspapers. The newspaper owners do not object to paying the tax, but regard the method of levytng 1t as impracticaole.

 Pittsburgh newspaper publishers who have inquired into the effect of that section of the bill as passed by the house requiring bills of lading, man. ifests and receipts with stamps at tached in connection with the ship ment of newspapers believe that very serious delays in delivery will result.
 Instead of this system of stamped bills of lading, the newspaper publish CTS of Pittsburgh, for example. sug- gest that a tax could be imposed on the basis of sworn circulation.
