One Building Saved
In the War of 1812 the British
burned all public buildings in Wash

burned the Capitol, the White House
and other public buildings in Wash
ington, they did a systematic job of
it, sending squads of soldiers to each
building with orders to burn it. How
ever, when a detail of troops under
an officer marched up to the struc
ture housing the patent office with
I its thousands of nondescript mod

commissioner of patents, appealed
to the officer in charge to spare the
building lest the British go down in
' history as the world’s worst bar
barians. Impressed by Dr. Thorn
ton’s appeal, the officer marched his
detail off without firing the patent
office.
Girls Bareheaded Until Married
In Hungary, girls go bareheaded
until they are married, and from
that day on, they are never again
seen with uncovered heads, accord

the Hungarian Quarterly, published
by the Columbia University Press.
There is a strange popular belief
in that country, which attributes a
secret power to a woman’s hair to
cast an evil spell on herself and on
her surroundings. Headgear is the
most important indication of a wom
an's status, with women in one Hun
