UNABLE TO Identify MUMMY
London Officials In Something Of a
ouandary as to Disposition Of
"Oid Jimmy"

One of London's problems mt the
present hour is what to do with n
mummy that lies at the back of the
Mansion house in one of the oldest
churches of that ancient city. No one
knows where it came from. and the
iocular element around the Mansion
house describe it as "Old Jlmmy-a
former lord mayor of London" The
rector is in n quandary over its dis
posal. The figure is perfectly pre-
served; eyes. hair, nose, teeth, nails
and ribs.
Inside the door of the mummy's box
Is n glass lid, which was removed II
few days ago for the first time for
many years. The mummy was covered
with cobwebs, but was still In good
condition. "It feels like leather" said
an Onlooker rs he touched "Old jim
my's" elastic ribs. The rector invites
suggestions from the public as to what
to do with the mummy. The mystery
as to its identity arises from the fact
that during the great London fire in
1866 1t was hurriedly removed from
another church and placed where 1t
now lies, so as to escape the ruvages

CHILD LABOR
IS REDUCED
Dsczsass d More Than 40 Pea Cess
Under New Law

Child labor has decreased more than
40 per cent since the child labor tax
provision Of the revenue act went into
effect April 20 last. This act levied a
tax of 10 per cent on the net earnings
OF plants employing children under IA
years or between IA and 10 for more
than eight hours in the production Of
commodities entering into interstate
commerce.
Reports of internal revenue bureau
agents, 1t is announced. indicate that
the greatest decrease has occurred In
the cotton Mill Industry of the south
ern states where, 1t is said more than
IS per cent of the mills now are oper-
ating on a basis that exempts them
from the tax. Marked reduction In
child labor also was reported, 1t was
said, in the coal mining and canning
industries. Many plants, particularly
cotton mills, have discharged all chill
dren under 10 years Of age. the report
said, rather than adjust the operation
to an eight-hour day.
