Cool—Icemen’s While Washington yesterday was sweltering in a midsummer temperature that sent streams of perspiration trickling down the faces of persons on the streets, there emerged from the shadows of a bufiding in & cer- ’| tain section of the northwest a man wearing a thick sweater, gloves and other wintry clothing. < Straight out into the blistering sun- shine he walked, and while passers-by mopped brows. that were wrinkled in perplexity and wonder, this man de- liberately began ‘to swing his arms and beat his sideés in an apparent ef- fort to ward off a chill . Shortly afterward ‘he was jolned by a second man, dressed similarly, and the two launchied into & conversation something like this: [ “Say, Bill, this sun fells good, does-\ n't it?” ? “Durn right.

Ice Output Exceeds Dema Despite Sultry Weather Here Capital Will Have No Trouble Keeping Good Memory Wins “Praise. months late. §light temporary let- up in orders due to exodus of Wash- ington’s climate boosters to seashore. Large quantities of ice cream and other hot weather refreshments be-. ing consumed. Prices about the same. Such are the expressions obtalned in a capvass today of many of the leading ice manufacturers. Incidentally, it might not be amiss to gonsider the community ice man and’to muse upon his uncanny mem- ory, Every day, he drives his truck or wagon up and down the streets of his neighborhood, and in and out of alleys, stopping at the doors of perhaps four or five hundred customers. . If Mrs. Smith at the beginning of the season gives him a standing order for twenty-five pounds of ice daily, ‘he—that the average experienced ice man—does not have to inquire day after day of Mrs. Smith what her order is. Nor does he consult a note- book. e merely glances at Mrs. Smith's house, remembers: somehow or- other, maybe by instinct, that the Smiths always get twenty-five pounds and proceeds~to .chop that amount, more or less, without further ado. He passes two doors where some com- petitor serves ice and, stopping at the third house, takes in the forty- pound, chunk that the Joneses always get. To the customers, the iceman and his, usually unfailing memory are taken as matters of course. But when one reflects that his brain retains the widely varying orders of- several hundred families, and specifies, fur- ther, just how, to cut the ice to fit the particular refrigerator for which it is destined, it is worthy of com- ment, at least.

Following the example set by the founders of the American Republic in 1776, the people of Paris within 13 years, or 135 years ago todav. sounded a second call to liberty. Simultaneously with that call fell the Bastille—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 Frenchmen in all parts of the world have celebrated Bastille day, July 14, as Americans celebrate Independence day, and look with pride upon the feat of the en- raged mob of Parisians as the begin- ning of liberty for ce. The up- rising on that July day in Paris was marked by terribie deeds that were not witnessed in the American bid for freedom, but which are mitigated by the infinitely greater terrors in- flicted upon the people of France than fell to the lot of the colonists of the 13 states. The same tricolor that led the mob to_vanquish the supposedly impreg- nable 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 tille day, the beginning of a new France. Many exaggerated stories of the happenings within the stone walls of this Parislan citadel, built in 1369, were rife. among the French, but hundreds of cruelties and _terrors were committed in its cells and dungeons. During the latter part of its existence the populace was terri- fled by the famous “lettres de cachet,” or secret warrants, issued in the pame 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, were often confined on these war- rants. .
