GETS ANNUAL SUM
 F0R JOB IN l65l
Descendant Collects for Haircut
 to Fleeing English King

Washington, Oct. IS. GPt-A royal haircut September 3. 1851, bulks large in the reason why George W. Pendrell, retired Brooklyn laundry man, receives s400 a year from the British crown.
 It was the cavalier locks of Charles II of England which fell before shears yielded by Richard Penderill. who trimmed the sover- eign's hair to typical ''roundhead" appearance.
 George w Pendrell is one of forty descendants of the ancient Penderills who disguised King Charles and helped him escape his Cromwell pursuers, and the perpet ual annual grant was established for the family after the Restor ation.
 Just what the Penderill family did for the sorely, pressed sovereign, fleeing after the battle of Worcester, and what the king thought of the and is told in an old volume owned by Jacob L. Ezekiel of Landover, Md.
 It is "A Pictorial History of Eng land" by S. c. Goodrich. author of Peter Parley's Tales" originally copyrighted in 1845, and published in Philadelphia in 1866.
 MT. Ezekiel studied the text book
New Britain herald., 1929-10-18

in school 63 years ago, and brought it to light when he read that George Pendrell of Brooklyn had marked another year in the receipt of the grant. The name is spelled Penderill in the volume.
 George Penderill gave King Charles safe conduct. Brother Rich ard trimmed the kingly locks and loaned the sovereign his best clothes which were a jump and brooches of green, coarse cloth, and a doeskin leather doublet" Brother Humphrey presented the king with his hat, ''an old gray one that turned up it's brim."
 The king first reached the home of George Penderill at Whiteladies, twenty-siX miles from Worcester. George thought he would be safer at Brother Richards home at Boscobel mile distant, and saw him there.
 The narrative of the escape was published in the kings name after the Restoration, says the ancient history book.

precious stones.
 General use of the miscrosp3ctTo- scope, as the apparatus is called, is advocated by Dr. Edgar T. Wnerry of the bureau of chemistry and soils, who has brought up to date an extensive study of the rainbow patterns.
 A beam of white tight directed against gem specimen is scat tered into fine of colors by the instrument, set patterns for each mineral being produced by the width of each color and by dark bands on the miniature rainbow.
 The dark lines, Known as absorp- ton bands, vary in position and strength according to the mineral and enable the observer to distin- guish between a genuine gem. it's synthetic brother, or a bottle-glass imitation.
 The method. pr. Wherry ex- plained, is for use in identifying transparent or translucent and more or less distinctly colored min- erals and as suitable for a minute fragment as for stone in it's set ting, an advantage over acid and scratching tests, which require a fair sample and often are injurious.

CUSTOMERS GUILT
 ID CAUSE BATTLE
Congressional Fight Expected on Sheppard'S New Liquor Issue

Washington. Oct. 18.-Unless the dry organizations develop cold feet. which they seldom do. Senator Sheppard's bill to brand the buy CTS of liquor as equally guilty with the sellers probably will turn out to be the issue in the most important prohibition fight for several years.
 If the bill is made a law there will be virtually nothing left for the drys to ask for in the way of legis- Iation excepting measures so eX- treme that no one has previously considered them advisable to press. The drys eXperimcntcd with heavier penalties when they put over the Jones law but hardly anyone argues that the five and ten" act has had any particular effect on the enforce ment situation.
 IL May Not Pass
 There is some chance that the Sheppard hill will be allowed to die 9 quiet death. It does not appear to represent the considered program of the dry organizations, though it ras the approval of Bishop Cannon, who is the strongest individual fig ure among them. Some of the most important dry leaders are going cautiously, explaining that they de- sire first to determine the possible legal obstables to q law covering liquor buyers, which may indicate that they desire first to observe the general reaction toward the meas ure.
 In this connection it is interesting to note that some of the strongest drys in congress are opposed to the bill. Although a few of those who have already declared against il may change their minds under Anti Saloon League pressure, q vote in either house is likely to roll up the largest "wet" minority vote since the passage of the Volstoad act
 The effect of such a law is the most important point for everyone concerned to think about and there you have the views diametrically opposed.
 Some drys believe that millions of Americans would stop patron izing bootleggcrs, unwilling to join a class at last recognized as criminal by the statutes.
 Others fear that it would have no such effect and that, on the contrary. it would tend to stiffen resistence to the prohibition laws by automatically creating the largest class of lawbreakers with which any government ever had to deal.
 Legal experts of the Prohibi- ton Bureau say that while such a law might result in more con- victions, it's principal effect upon the community would be as g method of moral suasion. Some of them are convinced that ii would result in q large reduction { of the amount of liquor con. sumed and that it would tend i'm, portantly to make abstinence Ire spectable."
 Both the drys and the prohibi
New Britain herald., 1929-10-18

To Dr. Wherry the method is not new. for more than 15 years ago as assistant curator in the national museum he found it useful in deter mining the genuineness of rubies, sapphires and emeralds submitted for examination.
 Since then he has collected ex- tensiye data on the rainbow pat terms formed by the instrument in the examination of variety of minerals, varying from the blood red ruby to earth compounds.
 Besides it's value in distinguish ing a natural stone from a bit of glass of the same color, Q practical use suggested by Dr. Wherry is in the analysis and identification of oil-bearing sands.

tion enforcers are emphatic in the contention that the purchaser is morally as guilty as the vendor. The difference" says Pussyfoot Johnson, lis the difference be- tween the inmate and the ire quenter Of a disorderly house."
 But in the past the drys haven't felt that law covering purchasers was worth fighting for. Wayne B. Wheeler and his companions decided to let it ride when they framed the Volstead Act and passed it. The act pro vides that no one shall buy liquor without obtaining q permit, and Of course the permits are unob- tainable. The act doesn't make the provision stick by applying any penalty.
 Concentrate on Bootleggers
 IL does provide against trans portation and possession with penalties, and the drys have all ways figured that buyers could be adequately prosecuted for illegal possession or transportation. They would rather convict one bootlegger than a dozen customers, although they believe examples should be made of some of the wealthy and more prominent 5cOfflaws.
 They are now giving serious consideration to the Sheppard bill and promising among other things that if passed it will provide an i'm munity bath for government wit nesses, including prohibition agents.
 But none of them seem wildly excited about it. They are pin ming their faith much more on changes in enforcement person. nel and on their belief that Pres ident Hoover will force more hon. est and efficient administration of the law.

MEASURING SHAPE
 OF GUSTS OF WIND
Engineers Seeking Data to Aid
 Power Line Erection

Ann ArtOr, Mich, Oct IS. P- personalities to winds, bu Uui- versity of Michigan engineers have set out to measure the shape of a wind.
 There is practical purpose, to learn how to build power transmits sion lines that will stand up against the wind forces. It is really one of the children of the four winds whose shape is wanted, namely the gust"
 The forces of gusts have been found by Michigan engineers to be both horizontal and vertical After two years preliminary research to establish these facts, they have set atop a wind swept ridge near Ann Arbor, an outdoor laboratory, a row of II poles spaced like an ordinary telephone line
 In the center is 250-foot tower. From the top of this tower there is drop of 1000 feet to the surface of the Huron river near the foot of the ridge.
 Wires are strung to the poles. Each pole carries instruments to record the stresses on wires. de- flection of the poles under attack of storms and wind velocity. The tower carries platforms each 30 feet. where instruments measure automatically the vertical wind stresses.
 Wires connect all instruments on poles and tower with recording in struments in q chart house, where the Investigators hope the wind will leave it's visiting card.
 The gust is only one of many parts of wind storms. sleet, hail and snow storms which the Michi- gan engineers are analyzing. When all the information is compiled it will be handed over 70 other engi- neers who build transmission lines.
