Today in
Washington History
By DONALD A. CRAIG.

June /, 1813.--Col. Tayloe's squadron
of cavalry, which has been stationed
near the Washington Bridge, has been
released from further service, accord
ing to an announcement published to-
day in the National Intelligencer. This
squadron is part of the force raised to
protect the city against possible at
tack by the British forces which have
been operating from ships in Chesa-
peake Bay.
Several military companies have been
raised In the District of Columbia-in
Washington City, Georgetown and Alex
andria--and a force of 400 has been
enlisted in the service of the Federal
Government. These men are under the
command of Col. Carbery Of the Regular
Army. They are in camp on the hill
west of the Presidents House near the
Potomac River known as Camp HILL
1t was upon the recommendation Of
Col. Carbery that Col. Tayloe's squad
ron Of cavalry has been relieved from
further service. The commanding ofii-
Ger does not believe there is any imme-
date danger Of an attack on the city by
the British, and he made the recon-
mendation In the interest OF economy.
Fort Washington, the sole defense OF
the city, which was erected some four
years ago, has been allowed to fall into
disrepair, but orders have been issued 70
put It in proper condition to Withstand
an attack and defend the river approach
to the city.
The District militiamen occupy 20
tents on Camp Hill In sight OF the
White House While many persons have
been alarmed by the activity Of Ad-
miral Cockburn, in command Of the
British forces In Chesapeake Bay, lest
he ascend the Potomac River and asasfl
Washington, the general impression in
Government circles, including President
Madison and hts cabinet, Is that the
danger is not great. at least at this time.
Admiral Cockburn's force has already
burned Havre dc Grace and Georgetown,
Md, on the bay.

Perils of Fish Day.

Mr.. Stefansson tells in his book. THE
Friendly Arctic" (which Is, to my mind.
the greatest of books about polar and
Arctic exploration). how he enjoyed
huge meals Of frozen raw fish when he
finally got away from his kind but
misguided friends and off by sledge
over the Ice to the hospital 80 days
travel away, with typhoid fever. Every
doctor knows something about the
ravenous appetite Of the typhoid pa
tient for real food. But the joy OF Mr..
Stefansson got out of the frozen fish
puzzled me. Not long ago / asked him,
Just before dinner, how he would like
some raw fish frozen to turn. He
said he would enjoy the delicacy II he
could get the grade they had up North.
He asked me If I cared for blue points
on the half shell and when nodded an
affirmative he intimated that amt
tasted nuthin' yet"
Some one sent me a clipping, from
which / deduce that bitter battle
has been going on in certain parts OF
Minnesota over the question whether
the Danes. Swedes or Firms prefer their
Lake Superior-or the how many thou
sands of Minnesota lakes-hsh raw or
cooked. Ine Call 10 the COIOIS was
sounded, 1t seems, when some doctor
without apparent motive, charged that
Minnesotans eat fish raw or practically
raw.
I have not seen with my own eyes
but / have recognized by other senses
certain shellfish that I'd be sorry to
eat raw, codd1ed, poached or devilled
But I can readily believe that the kind
of fish they catch in Minnesota are
excellent to eat In the style the Mime
sotans eat 'em-and I'd be delighted To
take dinner with a Minnesotan in his
own shack near the water il wera not

A well known Washington architect
recently pointed out building he had
designed and constructed. The ex-
terror was charming and the location
superb.
s"That house" said he, "is the big
gest disappointment in the lives Of the
owners. On paper they approved the
specifications and 1t seemed to be pre-
cisely what they desired, but now, In
Its completed state, it isn't a bit as
they had pictured the place. The 30
foot living room isn't as large as they
expected It would be- The dining room
Is too small, even though they knew
what the dimensions were to be.
'I, Of course, am blamed for their
disappointment.
"There are a hundred things wrong
with the place. The trouble lies not
In the house or its design but In their
imagination.
This Is not an unusual incident in
the life of an architect. Very few
people are thoroughly satisfied when
the Job Is finished. There Is always
something they forgot to include. A
certain room does not look as It did
In the original plans, or the halls are
not large enough. II the wall is tinted.
the color does not conform to the
sample. and so on. Actually the
house may be perfect, but the reality
Of anything can never compete with
human imagination. All experienced
architects face this situation until they
come to expect dissatisfaction from
their clients. Fortunately, after the
owners take possession they discover
beauty and practicability in their home
which In their first disappointment they
failed to see"
An actor friend playing In the city
tells this one: "A good many years
ago" he says, "a theatrical troupe left
Chicago with just about enough money

After several nights bad business they
found themselves getting deeper In the

Nitrogen production. not gold. will

would eventually face starvation. u
said Mr.. Bates.
Little did he dream Of the out

say. it was not nitrogen for food
but nitrogen for war. which supplied
tho incentive for the increased pro.

There detectives found a ledger
