One of the most peculiar cases of
burnt money being sent in for re-
demption has just come to the at
tention of Treasury officials.
A few days ago the department
received from a National bank In
Wayne County. O., a melted glass
tumbler with money inside 1t. A
short note accompanied it. explain
ing that several months ago there
had been a fire in a home in Woost-
er, o. On a shelf was a glass tuu-
bier with $50 in it.
Recently, while looking about the
ruins, the owner discovered the melt
ed tumbler with the ashes of the
money inside. He carried it to his
bank, which forwarded 1t to the
Treasury Department.
Treasury experts broke open the
melted glass and by the aid of in
struments identified the money.
Within few days a check for $50
will be sent to the bank to be turned
over to the owner of the burned
