COUNT CHARGED WITH THEFT OF FOUR MUMMIES Archeologist _ Now in U.S. Accused. by Algerian. PARIS, Dec. 26—(7)—The Matin says the governor general of Aigeria has broadcast an announcement that he is “searching for an American citizen, Charles Byron Cunes, known as Count De Prorok, born 1896 at Mexico.” The announcement is ac- companied by a list of grievances against Cunes. The governor of Algeria, adds the paper, says that despite the rigid regulations, Cunes “carried off a certain number of archaeological dis- coverles made in Algerian sub-soil, notably four mummies which he un- earthed at Hoggar. The count left for America, cember 15. De- NEW YORK, Dec. 26.—(#)—Count De Prorok declared here tonight he was at a loss to understand re- ports from Paris that the governor general of Algeria had broadcast an announcement he was being sought for “carrying off" archaeological specimens from Algeria. He said his explorations there were made for the governor general, and that so far as he knew there had been no difficulties about the re- moval of his finds. The count arrived on the Levia- than December 21, bringing a Venus described as belonging to the Li- byan stone age, two skeletons and several pieces of jewelry taken from a tomb in the Sahara desert, which he said. was that of Queen Tin-Hi- nan. The count said the skeletons were those of nobles of the ancient ‘Tauregs who were called Imrads. => Pioneer Seaman of Great Lakes Region Is Dead ESCANABA, Mich., Dec. 26.—()— Neil B.

Gallagher was born in Ireland, and came to the United States at an early age, working as a seaman on the lakes and living the adventurous life of a pioneer.

SUNDAY, DECEMBER 27, 1925 Some Odd Little Favors, Prizes, Decorations for the Watch Party) By MRS. MARY MORTON When the “happy bells” are ring- ing out “across the snow,” many people will be found making merry in public cabarets, but the happiest watch parties, I think, are those in private homes where a group of old friends recall oid times and wish one another health and prosperity in the glad New Year. For the above party, or possibly for a gathering of frietids recently made in new surroundings, I yen- ture to make a few suggestions for the evenings entertainment. A very simply set table is suggested. In the center {s a clock made of paste- board with silver hands that potnt to midnight. Supporting the clock is a merry laughing clown ushering us into the new year, where we hope there will be more laughing than tears. The clown is of paper with costume and hat of white and apple green frills. The clock is surround- ed with mistletoe and tied with a ribbon bow. Tiny dup'‘icates of the clown may be used at each place, standing on white boxes filled with candy, or odd little favors like those in the ‘picture may be used with a good luck bluebird on top. The chan- deer is hung with mistletoe and little bells. ‘The invitations might be patterned specially if bridge is the main amusment of the evening. Blue- birds are again the decorations, you will notice. Below the invitation is a horsshoe score card cut from sil- ver paper and pasted to a blue mat stock card. One can make so many of these pretty and unusual things themselves with a little time and skill. The other things pictured could be used as prizes or as favors. No. 1 Is a “flapper” powder puff, Where is the puff? Why, behing the lady's face.

Half a century ago he was an In- dian scout in Texas and near Dun- can prairie, Texas, was scalped and left for dead after a skirmish with Indians.

No. 4, the diary, is always an ‘appropriate prize for a New Year party. Menus may vary with the tast-s | of your friends. Chicken salad, hot rol's, olives, celery, coffee, ice cream with bell shaped centers and cakes are always liked. A simpler menu would be cream cheese with bar le duc, wafers sandwiches, olives, coffee, candies. It is served, of course, at midnight when toasts may be drunk in»sweet» cider or grape- juice, or coffee or water, if you pre- fer. If you do not play bridge there are many other ways to spend an en- Joyable evening. An exhibit of the baby pictures of the guests woul4 make fun, and if you can have those made into lantern slides and exhi- bited on a screen so much the more fun guessing the originals. An- other game is to ask each guest in turn to act in pantomime the thing which as q child he most longed to be, the others guessing his am- bition, Here is a new guessing contest | the answers to refer to a watch. A watch with wings would make an appropriate design for a card on which to write the questions. 1, Used before. Second hand. 2 Always seen at the circus ring. 3. Fifteenth wedding anniversary.
