Loss OF S10,O(0,ODO
GIFT AMAzESECYP
Withdrawal of Rockefeller
Offer "CompIete Surprise"
to the Cabinet.

CAIRO, Egypt, April 80. - With
drawal of the offer of John D. Rookie
feller, jr., to provide $10,000.000 for a
museum of Egyptian antiquities, came
as a complete surprise to the Egyptian
cabinet in the midst of its deliberate
on the project, an explanatory note
issued by the president of the council
of ministers says today.
The Egyptian press, however, gen
orally criticizes the attitude of the
cabinet, saying that Egypt has lost
a good opportunity not only with re
gard to scientific achievements but
also for cementing friendly relations
with the United States.
Where Decision Rested.
The note says that Premier Ziwar
had conducted the preliminary negotia
tions in an entirely personal capacity
and that in all his correspondence he
had explicitly stated that the final
decision must rest with the council
of ministers.
Strictly speaking. the note says
Mr.. Rockefeller's offer should have
come through the minister of public
works as the responsible authority for
the department of antiquities. The
note says that. obviously, if the cabi.
net had been in agreement with the
terms of the amended proposal it
would not have reserved its decision
The main objections to Mr.. Rookie
feller's project are described as being
based on lack of acknowledgment of
the authority Of the minister of public
works. The original project, the note
says, separated the departments of
antiquities and the Egyptian admins
tration, which could not be accepted
by the government.
Amended Proposal Submitted.
Premier Ziwar, the note continues,
submitted the amended proposal to the
cabinet and suggested that it be ac-
cepted after certain changes IN ac-
cordance with the constitutional and
administra tive methods Of Egypt mad
been made. 1t was while the cabinet
was considering it's decision that Mr..
Rockefeller withdrew his offer.
In answer to Premier Ziwar's in.
timation that Mr.. Rockefeller had
withdrawn his 0.OOO 900 offer before
the Egyptian cabinet had had chance
to act upon it. representatives of the
financier said yesterday that the pre-.
mier had had 26 days in which to take
action. The Egyptian government s
own outline of terms was approved by
Mr.. Rockefeller. it was said, and re-
turned to Premier Ziwar on April l.
The official withdrawal came on
April 26.

Antarctic Nursing.

II was only three-quarters of a cen.
tury ago that soldiers in the field first
had the benefit Of skilled. orea nized
feminine nursing. Industry as well as
war today regards the trained nurse
as an essential adjunct to carrying on.
She is in many ways as important as
the doctor in some ways even more So
The newest field for her endeavors
are the whaling grounds. A young
Scandina Wan woman has just sailed
from Norfolk on the Norwegian whaler
G. A. Larsen for South Georgia. where
she will act as nurse for the more
than 500 men who will spend six
months or more in the vicinity Of that

intrepid whalemen. their little vessels
crusted with ice and buffeted by polar
gales, go boldly after finback, hump

yields three times as much oil as the
varieties formerly sought and, in some
cases, now largely extinguished. The
old-time whalemen passed all these up

MEN AND AFFAIRS
BY ROBERT +. SMALL.

New York has just passed through
the throes of its annual moving spell
and never before has the reStlessness
of the human soul been so thorough
ly demonstrated. The moving indus
try, which thrives on this restless
ness. this constant search for some
| thing better, something different. esti
mates that between 1OO.O0 and 12O.-
| 900 families changed their abode in
the metropolis during the hurrica ne
OF transfer which centered about the
| first of October.
The telephone company in New
York City had orders for more than
$4,000 changes in service. fairly
swamping it's mecha nical force and
placing out of date. something like a
million immense telephone directories
The gas and electric companies were
inundated with changes" and with
new service. as many modern apart
ments were opened for the first time.
The remarkable part of this extraor-
dinary human shift was the fact that
only an inf1nitesimal number of the
movers made any marked changes in
their manner of living. Few If any.
OF the families moved ito the coun-
try. Few fiat dwellers moved into
homes, and few home dwellers switch
ed to apartment houses. Virtually
all OF the moving was from fat to
nat. 1t was great game of rainbow
chasing, looking for something more
desirable, just around the corner; lots
of families moved from one apart
ment to another in the same building
For the most part the movers, 1t
seems. were seeking to better them
selves. New York has been rolling in
prosperity and an orgy Of spending.
Nf
New York family is to put on more
style, to move uptown. to move
downtown, to change from the West
to the East Side, from Manhattan to
the Bronx or from the Bronx back TO
Manhattan, always conditioned upon
paying more rent and thereupon feel
ing more satisfied with life.
The $1.200a-year fat dweller moved
into 81 400 fst. The $4,000 rent
payer moved up to $500. One new
apartment house on the upper East
Side opened this October with rental
fee Of $35. 900 a year for a seven
room suite.
Yet moving day was not all beer
and skittles. Some families had to
slow down, to give up rich apartments
and return to the obscurity Of cheap
rentals. In a rising tide there are al.
Of the wave.
Hank O'Day. the noblest Roman Of

insists that base ball fans In general
and the bleacherites in particular
have been much maligned. He thinks
this is especially true Of the st. Louis
fans, who for some reason or other
have achieved quite a wide reputation
as singers Of pop" bottles and as
umpire baiters when things on the
diamond are not favorable to the
home team.

he stood in the lobby Of st. Louis

that there has been the least increase

IDENTIFY religion has not advanced in
cost. The literary tastes of the farm
family have become more expensive,
$3.50 In 1880 and s161.70 in 1924. And
the doctors bill" has likewise grown,
not because of more sickness prob
ably, but because the rates have in
creased. and. furthermore, doubtless
because, with the telephone at hand,
1t is now easy to summon the doctor
and easy for the doctor to respond.
In 1880 proba bly, more of the family
Ills were cured by domestic remedies.
In 1880 the family remained at
farm. Now 1t goes travelling, with a
consequent increase in the two items
of trips andsvacations," and amuse-
ments from nothing in 1880 to $4S.91
In 1924. Closely related to these two
items, that covered by the title gen
eral operations, coal. gasoline, auto
and labor" reflects the greatest
change in the family economy. The
auto alone is net addition, replacing
the old family buggy, which had been
in the barn for perhaps generation
or two before. And labor. What
a story that word tells! For the son
Of the family did not leave the farm
then. staying on and doing the chores
and the daughter the housework.
Now the son goes to college, and tire
daughter also, and the hired man"
and the hired girl" take their places
on the farm.
Statistics make dry reading, as a
rule, but these figures tell the story Of
a wonderful change in family life and
domestic and rural conditions in q
span Of little less than half a cen.
tury.
