FLY FRENCH FLAG
FOR BAST|LLE DAY
Americans Join in Celebration
of independence Day of
Sister Republic.

Following the example set by the
founders Of the American Republic
in 1776, the people of Paris within
sounded a second call to liberty
simultaneously with that cali fell
the Bastlle-a dreaded prison which
for hundreds of years had been the
fear and terror of those who gained
the disfavor of the royal house OF
France.
Since that day F'renchmen in all
parts of the world have celebrated
Bastille day, July II, as Americans
celebrate Independence day. and look
with pride upon the feat of the en-
ragged mob of Parisians as the begin
ming of liberty for France. The up
rising on that July day in Paris was
marked by terrible deeds that were
not witnessed in the American bid
by the infinitely greater terrors in
f1icted upon the people of France
than fell to the lot Of the colonists
of the 13 states.
The same tricoIor that led the mob
to vanquish the supposedly impreg-
nab1e Bastille and release its pris-
oners, is being flown today in almost
every nation in the world, in com
memoration of the beginning of the
French revolution, and Bastille day,
the beginning of new France.
Many exaggerated stories of the
happenings within the stone walls
of this Partisan citadel, built in 1869,
were rife. among the French. but
hundreds of crue1ties and terrors
were committed in its cells and
dungeons During the latter part of
its existence the populace was terri
fed by the famous "1ettres de cachet,"
or secret warrants, issued in the
name of the king, but with blanks
where the names of the prisoners
were inserted at the will of royal
ministers, who were often pursuaded
to issue these warrants against their
personal opponent and offenders of
their friends and favorites. Children.
heirs of titles and positions. who
might, when Of age, cause trouble,

RESPONSIVENESS
BONDSFROM
ASHES
Woman in Treasury Depart
ment Identifies Destroyed
Securities.
By WILLIAM PICKETT HELM.

Out of ashes Miss Roberta L..
Lindsey, of Washington, D. c.,
makes money. Miss Lindsey is the
foremost expert in the country in
reconstructing burned bonds. For
tunes that have gone up in flames
have been redeemed under her mag
nifying glass. The ashes OF burnt
securities are put together slowly
by spatula in her skilled fingers
and Uncle Sam pays the owner
face value of the denominations
thus destroyed.
Miss Lindsey is manager of the
claim section, division OF loans and
currency, United States Treasury.
Her work is to identify the re-
mains of mutilated bonds 50 that
the Government can safely redeem
them. Before this can be done, the
denomination, the serial number
and various other facts must be as.
certained and certified. Fire is
the most common destroyer of Sc
curities. In most cases, therefore,
Identification must be made from
ashes.

The receptacle shown in the pic
ture is a tin box which went
