PLAN X-RAY
FOR OLD
MUMMY
by international New. Service.

1mtefm@ffOn@I News service.
ONDON---Pharaoh Tut-Ankh-
Amen, the mightiest man in
the world 5000 years ago, is
to be x-rayed If his mummy still
lies in the mystery chamber of
his recently discovered tomb,
which Lord Carnarvon will open
when he returns to Egypt some
time this month.
When the archa biologists force
open the alabaster coffin and
take off the thin covering of
beaten gold from the body they
will carry the shrouded form into
the sunlight and photograph it
from every angle, and for the
first time in history movie will
be taken of that weird sight, the
unwrapping of the dummy.
This film will show the mummy
as it was deposited in the tomb
and will follow the long and diff
cult process from the unWrap-
ping Of the mummy cloth until
the body of the king meets the
light .of day for the first time fer
thirty centuries!
Il am taking no risks said
Lord Carnarvon, who has re-
turned to London after his his
toric find. 81 do not know what
we shall find in that third cham
Der, but as there is every indi-
cation, that the mummy is still
there am taking every scientific
pFecaution,- so that no important
fact may be lost to the world.
ut is necessary that x-ray pho
tOgraphs should be taken, because
the photographs of a royal mum
my which has not been disturbed
by tomb robbers will throw i'm
portant light on the ancient ritual
of embalming.
IF the mummy proves to be
untouched it will enable archae-
oIogists TO learn for the first
time how royal mummy was
wrapped for burial, and how the
magical amulets put on it to pro-
tect IT from evil spirits in the
underworld were distributed"
Unfortunately, according to Car
narvon, further exploration is
held up for want of funds, but
other countries, notably America,
are coming forward with offers
of help.

TO STOP EMPLOYMENT
 WOMEN ON NIGHT SHIFTS

TOXIC, Jan. 17.-Spinning com panies in the Kwanto district have begun movement to stop the em- ployment of women on night shifts in the factories of Japan. The gov ernment had proposed to postpone legislation on this matter for nine years, but the companies desired the change should be made now. The government may introduce a bill in the Diet to prohibit the employment of women at night.
 A proposal for general limitation of output of spinning companies to meet the slump is still under discus sion. If the factories are closed at night they necessarily will reduce output and at the same time will adjust themselves to conditions Of work that are to be enforced sooner or later.
