But Treasurer Shannon Horn doesn't think King, 40. will bother to call for the money, estate of the stocky chef's lale wife. His wife, the onetime Com tesse Christiana de Zoheb. was atrangled here in July, 1947, and her body was stuffed into a trunk. Sought Wida Hunt As prime suspect In the slny ine. Kinii has been sought in an international hunt that ranged as far as Paris and Mexico City. It also resulted in the muscular former gambler being named No. 2 man on the FBI's list of 10 most-wnnted men. Mrs. King's body was discov ered under the dining room porch of the hotel here where King operated the restaurant concession. She had been miss ing for 30 hours when the maid made tile find. The one-time noblewoman's colorful life led her to a half dozen countries before she met King in Casablanca, Morocco, in 1925. He is an American who had wondered thr6ugh the world after his wartime service in the U. S. navy. They were married the next year and mov ed to New Orleans eight years later.

Have recently read a number of articles on the "teen-ager gangs" of New York city and the problem of handling them. There have been such gangs as long as I can remember. When I was a kid. South Brooklyn was full of them. The group of youngsters I went around with, known as "The Forty-eighth Streeters." never went in for gang warfare. Just defended themselves when attacked. This they did very well because every kid on the block knew how to handle himself, due to the in structions of two former profes sional boxers living on the same street. So the tough guys in oth er sections usually let us alone. Our gang went in for sports. We had teams in almost every kind of sport you can imagine. No kid on our block was even In trouble with the police. Get your youngsters interested in sports and the chances they will devel- der charges were not pressed.

How right that man was who aid: "Truth is stranger than fiction." By the way, who did say that first? Byron, wasn't it? Anyway, the fiction character. Rip Van Winkle, slept for 20 years, Carolina Karsen of Okna, Sweden, went to sleep when she was 13 years old, in 1876, and did not wake up until 1908 when she was 45. Yes, sir, Carolina slept for 32 years. After that she enjoyed good health for nearly all the rest of her life and died recently at the age of 88. But wait, 32 years is not the record for a long sleep. Betina Pieran. an Italian woman, slept for 70 years, from the time she was 15 years of age until she was 85: Got This Just in case some of our clients who are thinking of retiring missed the following advertise ment from The New Yorker magazine, I am quoting it: "Mex ico Eighty dollars a month per person.

I was married In the Little Church Around the Corner, New York city. Q. Was not David Warfield a burlesque comedian just before he made such a hit as a dramatic actor in the David Belasco production of "The Music Master"? A. Pre vious to becoming a dramatic actor. Warfield was associated with the Weber & Fields Music Hall company as a comedian. This company included such stars as Lillian Russell, Fay Templeton, Willie Collier, Peter F. Oailey and others of similar calibre. It could hardly be styled "a burlesque company" as we now understand the term. Q. Are you familiar with a poem titled, "The Irish," which includes the line, "When Greeks and Romans still wore tails"? A. Don't know the complete poem. All I know of it follows: When Greeks and Romans still wore tails, And banqueted on bugs and snails, Who ruled like kings in golden vales? The Irish! Sidelights "A woman likes a man who Is a little arrogant." That's what Hildcgarde Dolson said. But kcp in mind, mister, that Hildegarde said a "little." Don't overdo it. . . . Mrs. Gertrude Fawcett of Dominick' street, Borough of Manhattan, lived in the same house for 80 years. . . . Am asked who first said, "Murder will out." It is from the Bible. but I can't name the book or chnpter. My old Sunday school teacher certainly has a right to be ashamed of me. Crabs Some Manhattan sea food res taurants certainly offer their pa trons the choice of quite a vari ety of crabs. One such eatery of fers: "Stone crabs from Florida, Dungeness crabs from the Pacific const, and king crabs from Alas ka." I like my crabs in a crab meat cocktail. Will some expert tell me what type of crab Is best for that? Briefly "Who did Marjorle Hillis mar ry?" asks a young woman of Chicago. In case you've forgot ten. Marjorie, when single, wrote that book titled, "Live Alone and Like It." She married Tom Roul ston, a millionaire chain grocery store owner of Brooklyn. . . .

Newest Chemical May Do Away With 'Wash Day Blues7 Washington (U.R) Here is good news' for housewives suf lering from washdays blues. The Department of Agricul ture says there is a new way to wash cotton clothes so they stay cleaner longer and will be easier to clean the next time. All that's necessary is to add a . "simple, inexpensive com pound" to the laundry rinse wat er. When the cotton goods dry, the chemical appears to leave a protective film on the fiber which keeps dirt from coming into contact with the cotton. In any event, the cotton goods after the treatment are "harder to soil and easier to clean," the department said. Saon on Market The compound is carboxy methyl cellulose, or "CMC for short. It's made from cotton or wood pulp. It is not yet on the market in packages convenient for home use. The department I said it probably would be soon. now that its use in laundering is known. The department said that the addition of three level table spoons of the stuff per gallon of rinse water gives cotton goods "improved soil resistance with out changing the feel of the fabric."
