Lev. It ill. OFFICE CAT TM MAJ.ll mo. Br Junius : I : EGYPTIAN PROVINCIALISM. ) Egypt,; through its government,' has definitely rejected iho ten million dollars offered by John D. Rockefeller Jr., iTor the erection of a museum of Egyptology in Cairo. 'In this building would have been collected and protected the relics of thut ancient Egyptian culture which is so largely the history of the earliest civilization known to mankind, ? Rejection of this generous offer seems incredible. Egypt its much as the rest of , the civilized world wants such an edifice as the Rockefeller gift would have endowed, but up io this time no such building exists in Egypt and no move has been taken by the Egyptians toward providing one. Unless the Egyptian government or the people of that country in North Africa provide the necessary money for an adequate museum of Egyptology, the entire world will be the loser from Egypt's' obviously inexcusablo rejection of the Rockefeller offer. To have put this immense historical wealth into an adequate and fitting setting would have been a boon to students and thinkers of generations unborn and a genuine contribution to civilization. '-' There is such a thing as carrying national consciousness to ridiculous extremes. Nothing else could have prompted Egypt's act of self-denial for thove were no strings tied to tho Rockefeneiv'bequest. Pride multiplies the pOVfcrtyHif th poor. :''', . . THK UPLUT AT THE FRONTIER.' iVT'"" It has been frequently demonstrated that the extremist in anything is capable of going to the opposite extreme, and often does. In this respect men and women have been likened to the swinging pendulum. As its individual members arc, so is the community. Up in the isolated gold camps of the Cariboo country of British Columbia men who a few years ago during tho gold rush were "whooping it up"-in tho saloons and dunce halls of the mining camps, are fining their children and grandchildren for whistling and singing "popular" music, and one suspects that what is now popular in the Canadian Northwest is probably quite' ancient and therefore wb-'.ly respectable in tho civilized east.' V . V. v , Here is offered the strange but very human sight of mature men, who a few years ago saw nothing wrong with wine, 'women and song in their most primitive and unre strained state, discovering the machinations of Lucifer in the innocent singing or whistling of a meaningless ballad. Unfortunately, modern theories on law enforcement and the right to life, liberty and tho pursuit of happiness pre clude the suppressed vocalists from resorting to the more or less violent measures which their suppressors .would have employed in the gold rush days had a marshal been so in discreet as to silence the kid at the music box and the boys at the bar. 1 It take the ixxanlonal rainy day to bring hui to memory Unit iru tcihlat handy umbrella. . , Ol lt OWN Dl:i'INITIO.V Musical Comedy: An entertuln' nient with no muxlc -and leas com edy but Htlll with plenty of legs to stand on.
