AID TO KING
 IN 1851 PAYS
 ONE MAN NOW

WASHINGTON, Dec. 3.-A royal haircut September 3, 1851, bulks large in the reason why George w. Pendrel1, retired Brooklyn laundryman, receives $400 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.
 Disguised King
 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 Restora- tion
 Just what the Penderill family did for the sorely pressed sover- eign, fleeing after the battle of Worcester, and what the king thought of the aid is told in an old volume owned by Jacob L. Eze- kiel of Landover, Md. | It is "A Pictorial History of England" by s. c. Goodrich, auth or of Peter Parley's Tales" orig inally copyrighted in 1845, and pub lished in Philadelphia in 1866. { MT. Ezekiel studied the text book in school 63 years ago, and brought it to light when he read that George Penoerill of Brooklyn had marked another year in the receipt of the grant. The name is spelled Penderill in the volume.
 Given Safe Conduct
 George Penderill gave King Charles safe conduct. Brother Richard 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." Broth CT 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 miles from Worcester George thought he would be safer at Brother Richards home at Bos- cobel, 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.

HONOR PRIEST WHO
 INVENTED CARTRIDGE
Associated Press Photo

MOON, Dec. 3. = Coincident with the world trend toward dis armament, a tablet has been un- yelled in the Tower of London to Rev. Alexander John Forsyth, a parish priest of Belhelvit, in Aber- deenshire, Scotland, who in 1900 invented a detonating powder and the first percussion lock for small arms His finding laid the foun- dation for the modern rifle cart ridge.
 Before this invention the powder in the old muzzle loading muskets was fired by match locks or flint locks. Besides being slow, this method was uncertain as the pow der would not ignite if it became damp Keep your powder dry had more than a figurative meaning in those days.
 Forsyth's invention encountered the usual opposition accorded to revolutionary military innovations, but it was finally adopted by the British army and was first used in action by British troops at Annoy in 1841.

AMERICAN OPERA
 M AXES HERO OF .''BUFFAL0 BILL"

CODY, Dec 3-Buffalo Bill and characters of the early west, are brought to life in an all-Wyoming light opera written and directed by Corrine Barrow Williams. of Cody.
 Tribal melodies of the Shoshone Indians, and tunes of old time fid dlers provide motifs of the musi- cal score.
 Cody Big Chief"-the name the Indians gave the famous scout-is the title of the opera which has been presented in this city for the first time under the auspices of the Buffalo Bill Museum association in Cody.
 Through the composers close ac sociation with the members of the family and old friends of the scout, she was able to weave into her music story much of Colonel Cody's personality and character. ' Claire Montgomery of Boston, ward of Colonel Cody Wahtahsah, daughter of Chief Washable, and Broncho Nell, frontier character, provide the feminine interest in the story which revolves about a stir ring incident of the history of Fort Washable.
 The colonels ward was seized by Indians, melted by an insane medicine man, to be human sac- rifice to the hunger god. This leads to an interesting denouement.

FRENCH CASINOS
 TAKE HUGE SUMS
 FROM BRITISHERS

PARIS, Dec. 3.-Gambling fev- CT has British holiday makers in it's grip, and the gamblers are pouring their shillings and pounds into France in almost enough vol ume to pay the French war debt to Britain.
 Within a few hours travel of Southern England, including Lon don, there are dozens of French seaside resorts, and all these re- sorts have casinos. Le Touquet, Deauville, Trouville and Dinard, are the chief ones, but there are scores of smaller ones studying the Emerald Coast. The La Touquet casino alone made $2,000,000 last year, and the French Government
 collected more than that in taxes. British consuls are kept busy sending the losers back to England Belgium has now added to the facilities for taking the British tripper's money by making roulette legal in all Belgian casinos. Rou- lette has hitherto been more or less confined to Monte Carlo. There seems to be not the slight est chance of reform wave strik- ing France and causing prohibit tion of gambling, which happened periodically before the war. The reason is that the Government makes millions from gambling by tax ation, and the Government needs the money badly.

 RAILROAD CONSOLIDATION

NEW YORK, Dec. 3.--The move ment to combine railroads in the United States into a few enormous systems will not bring about the increased efficiency and economies in operation that its sponsors hope for, in the opinion of Sir Henry Thornton, head of the Canadian National Railways. The best thing about the American railroad mer- ger movement "is it's lethargy," he said. The trouble with enormous enterprises is that all personal re- lationship between officers and men tends to be crushed out. The in- efficiency of discontent and mis- understanding creeps in" Sir Hem ry doubts whether State ownership of railroads would succeed in tho United States.

Capital of United States Important in Affairs

By HERBERT HUMMER

WASHINGTON, Dec. 3.-In no other city of the United States does the business of writing for news papers take on the importance that it does in Washington.
 The news nerve of the nation and to large extent of the entire world, the capital attracts reporters from everywhere. There are more than $40 accredited to the press galleries of Congress alone. More than seven pages of the Congress sional Directory are required to list them and the newspapers and press organizations they represent.
 Hallam, in his Constitutional History" says:
 ". the gallery in which the reporters sit has become the fourth estate of the realm" And Oscar Wilde observed that Tn America the President reigns four years, and journalism governs forever and ever"
 Washington newspapermen are of all types There are those who wear spats and carry canes. And there are those who possess only one suit. There are those whose hair has grayed in the profession. and there are those only a few months out of the schools of jour nalism.
 But almost wi h out exception each enjoys not only the respect and good will of those high in the affairs of the nation, but their con- fidence as we'll
