GIRLS MAY BECONE ENGLISH NOBILITY Chicago Youngsters Are Adopted by Marchioness Huntly Chicago, Dec. 5 UP—The door of | English nobility has opened for two little Chicago girls, Marjorie and Isabells Neuser, whose adoption by the Marchioness Huntley of Orton Hall, Peterborough, England, will make them heirs to an estate of several millions. Until yesterday Marjorie and Isa- belle, who are eight and ten years old, led the lives of thousands of other Chicago Girls—minus wealth and soclal position. Their father, Iloyd C. Muser, an advertising salesman, had died in February. I"or ten months they had lived with their step-mother, Mrs. Louise Meuser. Leave for Soclety Today they left for the glamour of English society life because their great aunt, the Marchioness, ex- pressed a desire to adopt them. In her youth she had been a Chicagoan, and the girls had heard their father tell of his aunt who had married a marquis. Arthur Campbell, Jr., a son of the ' Marchioness by her first marriage, came to Chicago to arrange adop- tion proccedings. Probate Judge Henry Horner signed the necess: papers yesterday after the girls step-mother had agreed to surren- der them. The Marchioness inherited a large estate from her second husband, James MacDonald, Cincinnati. Her present husband, the Marquis is 81| vears old and holds 11 other titles besides his marquisate. Accompanied by Mr. Campbell, whose father, an English barrister, was the Marchioness' first husband, the girls will go as wards of the Chicago court to Petersborough, there to be adopted by the Mar- chioness, OBELISK LOCATFD IN CENTRAL PARK New York Monument Known as (leopatra’s Negdle Washington, D. C., Dec. 5.—About 3,600 years ago Thothmes III, King' ot Egypt, rcared himself a tall obelisk at the Temple of Heltopolis, six miles from present-day Cairo. New Yorkers interested in decipher- ing the cuneiform script covering the obelisk need not travel to Egypt for that purpose. Thotmes' roval monument, for almost forty years, has raised its head in Central Park, New York City. .A companion obelisk also looks on another world than that of ancient Egypt from the Thames Embankment in London. Tt is the second obelisk of the pair created in Hellopolis to commemorate the glory of the god, Amen-Ra. Called Cleopatra’s Needles “The title of Cleopatra's Needle is claimed for both the New York and London obelisks,” says a bulle- tin from the Washington, D. C. headquarters of the National Geo- graphic society. “During the life- time of Cleopatra the two oblisks ‘were moved from Hellopolis to Alex- andria. It is affirmed that this re- moval was by Cleopatra’s decree, but that the troublous times during the latter years of her reign prevented their being raised. While they were lying on the Alexandrian sands, the name, Cleopatra’s Needles, was said to have been given them. History does not record valid evidences of | Cleopatra’s interest in needles of stone or other material. during the reign of Augustus Cacsar that the obelisks were mounted.

The practice of denuding Egypt of her obelisks began during the sixth century B. C., when Ashur- | banipal, the Assyrian, removed a pair to Nineveh.

The largest of these is in the piazza of St. John Lateran, at Kome.
