One of London's problems at the present hour is what to do with a mummy that lies at the back of the Mansion house la one of the oldest churches of that ancient city. No one u knows where It came from, and the "jocular element around the Mansion house describe It as "Old Jimmy--a former lord mayor of London." The rector is In a quandary over Its disposal. The figure is perfectly preserved; eyes, hair, nose, teeth, nails and ribs. Inside the door of the mummy's bos !• a glass lid, which was removed a 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 as he touched "Old Jimmy's" elastic ribs. The rector invites suggestions from the public as to what to do with the mummy. The mystery •s to its Identity arises from the fact that during the great London fire In 1866 It was hurriedly removed from another church and placed where It now lies, so as to escape the ravages , of the conflagration I One of the queer things about a man !• the way he thinks it is impossible any woman not to admfre him.

Doughboy Tells ; of Brigands'Rout Chicago Soldier Gives Thrilling Picture of Skirmishes In Near East YJUff DRIVERS WOT MOLESTED Trucks Driven by Natives and" Guardad by Turk Gendarmes Are Held U{> and Looted--No Luxury In Near East. tale of exciting skirmishes with marauding bands of Turks and Kurds In Armenia is told by a Chicago soldier, W. A. Brown. Brown's adventures in the near Bast were experienced while he was a Red Cross worker in company with American boys from Philadelphia and Louisville, with whom he volunteered for near Bast relief service after the armistice. The Job of these young men was to get the supplies to the starving villages In the mountainous interior and they found truck driving In that stricken land filled with excitement. "Brigands are numerous," aald Brown, "but uniforms commanded respect, although we always went unarmed. Trucks driven by native drivers, however, were held up and looted. Tbey were supposed to be guarded by Turk gendarmes, but the gendarmes themselves did their bit at stealing. Our convoys with American drivers were never molested, although we could see the armed brigands on the hills watching us. "One time Mr. and Mrs. Hugh S. Miller wanted to go to Harpoot with one of our convoys," continued Brown, "We had 11 trucks and started off in fine shape. After a few miles we saw some trucks with native drivers that had started some time before us, coming back. 'Brigands' yelled the native drivers as we drew alongside. Thirty brigands ahead.' "We went ahead. A few miles farther along we came upon the bodies of four brigands propped up against the side of the road. They had been shot by the gendarmes and the bodies left as a warning to others. For miles along the route we conld see some of the others watching aa hot our train was too strong for them to risk an attack. "The returning Kurds are s problem. There were thousands of them who fled to European Turkey during the war and now they are streaming back. Hungry and ragged, they steal at every opportunity and relief supplies, If left unguarded for a moment or in charge of native drivers, are not safe. "Horses and mules are especially sought, for the Kurd likes to ride. More than once they attempted to requisition mules or donkeys used in our work, but they never kept them longer than It took us to get to them. The Turks aided theta «n taking whatever property belonging to non-Moslems that they could. There Is no luxury In the near East relief work. We ^ughed it and made the best of things. When we made our stations we got our meala. Otherwise we camped out or went to the alleged hotels they call khans. Another good name would be stables, for the guests slept In straw-lined bunks along the walls while cows and horses, donkeys and males had the center of the floor. "For food there was the common bowl" of yort, a mixture of maize or wheat and some kind of sour milk. Sometimes there Is meat, bat not often." All three youths agreed that btit for the work of the near East relief hundreds of thousands more of the victims of the Turks would have perished. The one hope new of the helpless people is continued help from the American peonle. Vienna Has 40,000 "Flu" Casta Vienna.--Forty thousand cases of Influenza are reported In this city, and the death rate is very high. 223 Per Cent Purchasing Power of Dollar Now as Compared With 1913 Is Shown. EXPANSION OF CREDIT CAUSE Man With Income of $2,000 Is Aetual. ly Drawing $870 Upon Basis ** ; : Dollar Value In 1913--Gold , Mines Closing. Washington.--The man with an Income of $2,000 Is now actually drawing $870, upon the basis of dollar value In 1913. according to a statement to congress by Harold N. Lawrte, economist for the American raining congress. The purchnslng value of the ounce of gold, which under statute cannot bring more than $20.67, has, Mr. Lawrte claims, shrunken through Inflation of ,currency until It is no longer possible for gold to be profitably produced. The expansion of the notional credit has lowered the purchasing power of n dollar through Increasing all commodity prices. Based upon the prewar prices of 1913, these prices gradually advanced from 100 per cent in 1913 to 223 In October, 1919. Each increase in credits has been absorbed by a corresponding Increase In commodity prices and has resulted In placing the nation upon an artificial plane of living. The gold producer finds the purchasing power of his ounce of gold la now $9 Instead of $20.67. Gold mines of the United 8tates are being closet down at an alarming rate. Many of these can never be reopened owing to the prohibitive costs of retimberlng and unwaterlng. Cripple Creek, the greatest Ameri can gold camp, is taking on the appearance of a city of dead hopes. Whole cities are being deserted and thousands of skilled miners are being forced to seek new camps because gold--the basic monetary metal of the United States--cannot longer be produced at a profit. Jewelers Make Millions. The manufacturers of the United States used $21,848,800 more gold last year than wns produced In the United States. The gold producer lost mill* lions during the year. The manufno*- turlng Jeweler made millions because, while his goods mounted In values, he secured the gold at coinage price of $20.67 per ounce, less than the cost of production. Seventy-five years ago the world produced but $30,000,000 in gold per year. In 1015 the world produced $409,000,000. The gold stock of the United States suffered a loss in 1919 of $292,796,000 by the excess gold exports over Imports. The government has allowed vast shipments of gold for export. Meanwhile the production of the American mines has fallen from $101,000,* 000 In 1915 to $53,500,000 In 1010, a loss of 42 per cent. At the beginning of the war, England arranged protection for all of the gold produced by British mines. This protection Is still maintained and the gold reserves of England are being Increased by imports from the United states, and their own heavy production of new gold.
