SECRECY LIFTED.
Egypt; Has Made No Answer to
Rockefeller Cable.

GIRO, Egypt. april % R).-
Abandonment of the plan of John D.
Rockefeller, jr., of New York, to pro.
vide $l0.0OO,O00. to be used for the
construction of new Egyptian
museum of antiquities in Cairo. be-
came known here last night with the
publication of q cablegram to King
Fuad, : in which Mr.. Rockefeller an
nounces the withdrawal of his offer
to avoid embarrassing the Egyptian
government.
The Egyptian government has not
yet made an official announcement on
the matter.
The newspapers publish the news
along with Prof. James II. Breas-
teds correspondence with Premier Iii
war, thus lifting the veil of secrecy
which has surrounded the negotia
tions carried on by Prof. Breasted in
behalf of Mr.. Rockefeller.
In d telegram to the premier. Prof.
Breasted and V. Everett Macy and
Raymond B. Fosdick, as trustees, call
ed the premier's attention to the fact
that a month had elapsed since they
presented, though Prof. Breasted. doc
uments accepting without change all
amendments suggested by the Egyp-
tian government. They had hastened
TO accept these amendments, they add
ed, since Premier Ziwar had previous
ly stated if his amended project were
accepted. he would recommend it to
this cabinet for approval.

NEW YORK, April 29.-John D.
Rockefeller, jr.'s, $l0.0OO,000 dream OF
II great temple of the unfolding lie
of man" on the Nile has been SHAT
tered; it's chance of emerging INTO
reality blocked by the mysterious op-
position of secret forces in the Egyp.
tian government. From the moment OF
SITS inception until final abandonment
she project has been marked by Sc
..recy. Until recently mystery sur
rounded the actual reasons Tor
z5gypt's hesitancy in accepting the
gift.
King Fuad was officially notified by
cable that Mr.. Rockefeller'S offer 10
erect a great museum and research lao-
oratory for the study OF the origin Vi
man was entirely withdrawn. IL was
said that this action was taken 10
relieve the Egyptian government OF
cmbarra ssment," which the cable IN
dicated might be felt due to the fact
that the plan had not been accepted
even after it had been revised In
form which the Egyptian prime MIN
lister had previously stated In Writlhs
would be satisfactory to MIN. since
the offer was first made numerous re-
norts have come out of Egypt con-
rerning opposition to the plan. 1t mas

much to do with this opposition.
American residents in Egypt were
quoted as saying that If the gift had
been 500 900 it would have been ac-
cepted without question. but because
of it's enormous size all action on II
was held up pending search for some
mysterious motive.
The Rockefeller plan had three
main features. An American commit
tee was appointed, consisting OF Pro1.
James II. Breasted, V. Everett Macy
and RAYMOND b. Fosdick, to spend
S. 400 900 in construction OF a new
museum building and an adjacent re-
search laboratory. With completion
of construction the duties of this com
mittee would have ended, and the
museum would have been turned over
TO an Egyptian museum commission,
having Egyptian, American. English
hand French representatives. AFTER
80 years the whole project would have
been turned over to the Egyptian
government without qualifications.
Maintenance - the museum would
be taken care of by an endowment
of $4,000, 900. Full title and owner
ship of the buildings and collections
would have been In the Egyptian
government from tie start.

The Tall Brunette's Colors.

Dear Miss Leeds: / am a business
girl and have been contemplating get
ting a pair of brown oxfords and do
not know whether they will be worn
this Fall. I am feet inches tall and
weigh about 1872 pounds. 1 have dark
brown hair. What colors may / wear?
Is black more popular for shoes than
brown? How may l reduce a large
abdomen? HAZEL.
Answer-Since you forgot to tell me
the shade Of your complexion and the
color of your eyes 1t Is hard for me
to recommend becoming colors. If
you have q medium skin and hazel
eyes your best colorS are various
shades Of tan and brown. A complete
costume in two tones of brown, q
light and dark shade, would be
chic. Brown oxfords with the popu-
lar cut-out effect each side of the
lacing would be smart. l think you
will f1nd that brown shoes harmonlZe
with the colors that are most bccom-
ing to you better than black would.
You may wear dark and medium
greens, dark blue, dull yellow, deep
cream. flesh. dull rose, peach and
black If trimmed with warm, bright
color such as red. Dull orchid, pink
violet and warm taupe would also suit
you. You are rather slender for your
height unless you are under Is years
old. II you are 20 years old you should
weigh about 140 pounds. Please see
my answer to "E. NJ" above for exer-
cises for reducing the abdomen.
