The f’athf lender. .‘-'l ine folks may think it Impos sible to build a bank, or treasure i luni. completely proof against all the devilish ingenuity of a victori ous enemy, but French engineers belie.cci (hey could do it, and now they feel that they have accomplish ed about all that is within the reacli of human possibility, l or three years and with nil army of nearly 1.500 laborers the world lifts gone forward In an effort to provide safety in the vaults of the] Bank of France for . Ihe nation's billion-dollar gold reserve. These vaults are in a big chamber rover ing 2 1-2 acres 200 feet, below the surface of the earth. * An fdea of the subterranean depth may be had by calling to mind that Niagara Falls is 107 feet high at Us point of the bank's underground chamber means still more when It, is learned that above its lofty ceiling is first 40 halt of water -enough to float a ship- and than 50 feet of solid rock. This safety deposit for France’s finances v. as built from'the lessons learned in the World war. A place was planned which would not only be sale from the biggest bombs, but where the bank force holding the fort would be safe from the worst sort, of gas attack. To that and a supply of fresh air is drawn Into j the vault, chamber from a secret' source. In spite of being located | under an underground lake the big chamber is kept dry and fresh. The hollow concrete pillars supporting j tile ceiling lend off some of the' moisture, and the whole is blown out by compressed air. i no strange condition of tne vault being under water is explained by the tact that a river flows beneath the city of Paris. It was discovered when the great Opera House was built just before the war with the Germans in 1870. There was plenty of flesh water during the siege of 1871, though the food was soon ex hausted. To build the bank cham ber the underground river iiad to be dammed temporarily, The 40 feet of water above the chamber ceil ing is a pool, or lake, formed by Urn river. The 50 feet of rock above forms a sort of arch over the water. In ease of war. civil or otherwise, a bank force of more than 1,000 men could retire to the depths below’, in ease of need, and live in comr parative comfort for an indefinite period. The bank building might be blown away without disturbing them. A food supply is kept on hand, and could be greatly increas ed in a short time. There are dishes, kitchens, stoves and all the com forts of life ready prepared for that time, maybe a hundred or 500 years from now, when- war may be rag ing above. To reaeli the vault one must go down in an electric elevator and pass through six successive steel towers with revolving steel doors which are opened by electric en gines. The walls and ceiling are of steel and concrete 20 leet thick, and the steel towers with the electric doors offer ns much resistance. ?'he elevator shaft can lie flooded, f an enemy attempts to tunnel un dor lie would have to go a long way through solid rock and then have to light through tin under ground lake before he could even reach the 20-foot walls ol steel and concrete. And besides. there are means ol defending the heart of the bank where the gold is kept — but all that is a deep secret. So are some of the tunnels that go through the solid rock, but where from and where to no unc knows. Government officials werr im pressed during the big war by the need of safet y for the nation's treasure. Secret cannon in tire building trained on all approach ing avenues, such as the Bank of England is provided with, would have been wi no service under a huge German bomb dripped from above. And then, if a charge of poison gas could have been releas ed in or near the bank all of the employees would have had to run for safety, leaving the gold unpro tected. Now ii France's gold i- not pro tected it Is not possible to protect it mechanically. Scientists say the earth is slow ing up in its rotation, which should be some comfort to those of us who are hanging on by the skin of our teeth—Macon Telegraph. There is one thing to be said in favor of the power trust. It doesn't debate with itself for six years whenever It considers undertaking a new power project.—San Diego rT*<ion OF RIO FIRMS Nearly $600,00(1.000 Involved In Radio Corporation Victor Oral. New York.—A gigantic merger, oi momentous import -to the future of I broadcasting, phonographs, talk ing moving pirtures and the public, I to which all three cater, was an-j nounced. It involves the Radio j Corporation of America and the j Victor Talking Machine company. In terms of money, the unit'ica- I lion means the combination of ap proximately $600,000,000. In gen-1 oral terms, of interest (o the public, much more is involved. Specifically, Instead of fighting I each other, it means close co-opera -1 mentary development in their own distinct fields of the three big meth ods of providing mechanical enter-, talnment. ' Radio already had gone into the j "talkie” business. Now the patents I of the phonograph company will be brought into use to the. fullest ex tent in developing radio broadcast ing and talking pictures, while in its own field the phonograph will be developed with the aid if the other departments in the merged com pany. Perhaps the most romantic side of the merger is the rise of radio corporation. Five years ago its stock sold for $10 a share. Today it rlosed at 395. It had risen roughly 200 points in a year. As to tire stock market aspect of the merger, there Is to be a flve for-one split of new radio stock for old common stock. This will be a greater floating supply of stock, and it Is expected that ‘‘technical corners" in most instances, if not all, will be eliminated. These have caused fastTnoves up and down in the stock. The merger was agreed upon at separate meetings today of the boards of directors of ttie two com panies. With the announcement of the merger, executives of both is sued statements regarding its sig nificance. jfe'he unification definitely en larges the fields of radio and the phonograph, and adds to the serv ices which both can render, said David Sarnoff, executive vice presi dent of the radio company. Unusual Case Of Man With Memory Missing Altogether Macon, Ga.—T. Scott Goolsby, pharmacist, who disappeared from here fourteen months ago and was recently found in Tyler. Texas, working as a salesman with no memory of his former life, has left for his Texas Job. His parents, friends and familiar surroundings failed to bring any recollection to him of the days before his disap pearance, but he is convinced that he is Goolsby and will reassume that name. After spending the holidays with Dr. and Mrs. R. C. Goolsby, he said he was certain they were his parents and that Jhis must be his home but he does not remember them.. He slept in the room he former ly occupied, spent much of his time in his father's pharmacy of which he was manager for a number of years and was greeted by many friends, but none of these rekin dled a memory. Search for their son was begun by Dr. and Mrs. Goolsby after his automobile was found on an Oc 1 mulgee river bridge. Finally a for ! mer resident of Forsyth, now living ; at Abelwie, Texas, saw him pass through the town. The parents i started another long hunt which [ ended at Tyler, Texas, only to be i told by the salesman that they were not his parents as his father and mother were killed in the Miami I storm. Big Men Go To Chvfrch. Asheville Citizen. "Though It. should surprise no one that a mau gets religion upon his elrction to high office, tlierr has been much gossip here over the | epidemic of church-going that ac ! companies such preferment,” writes the gentleman who contributes | "Buck Stage In Washington” to The j Outlook. "Calvin Coolidge did not I become a paying pew holder until after Providence had placed him in 1 the White House. Mr. Hoover was not knovtn as a regular attendant [ at the Quuker meeting house until after his nomination, and now I Charlie Curtis, vice president-elect, \ has hit the sawdust trull." Despite the more or less gentle ! irony back of this and other com ment of a similar nature, the au I thors of it will hardly deny that If I is the right and proper thing for ! the heads of this government to go j to church regularly. They are re i gardCd rs the exemplars of the na I tional life. More than one presi dent has described his Job as a pul : pit with enormous influence upon ! the people. Almost every man has reverence I or the seeds of reverence in his ! make-up. whether he is a church ] man or not. And the way to de J velop and strengthen .it is to go j where reverence is, to church.

Many a man who is not a church member realizes this and goes to church because of the good he eets out of it. . Two Governors. Salisbury Post. Looking over the exchanges on our table today we find a Republi can from Wake county speaking in high praise of Max Gardner and predicting a good record for him in the governor's chair. This man said that be especially likes the people of the governor-elect s county Cleveland that they are hard working and prosperous. We find too among our exchanges a verv good word for Mr, McLean, who is leaving the governor's office. No less an authoritative observer than Archibald Johnson declares that Mr. McLean has made a good gov ernor and leaves the state better off than when he came to rule. We believe both men speak wisely and truthfully. Mr. McLean has given the state a better administra tipn than sdme credit him with and the benefits to be derived' irom his four years will become more and more pronounced as others add to the record. Mr. Gardner is a man ol litgh ideals and splendid, practi cal qualifications, and we feel quite surt that he will match the best .that lias gone qn before. ft has been the. good fortune of North Carolina to have good men at the head of her government. None of the governors of the past quarter of a century, but have ad ded Worthily to the record, and none of them back to an including Aycock but who could have been reelected on the record had that been possible and asked.

BEST SAFEST n Nineteen Hundred Twenty-eight has been good to us, and the friendship, loyalty and confidence of our Cream Patrons has con tributed no small part in our happiness. For this we are sincerely grateful, but, apart from any motives connected with our business, we experience a deep sense of gratitude to Cream Producers, in which we feel that every thinking man and woman will join us. Millions of happy, smiling children in these United States are HAPPY and SMILING largely because of THE MAN STRADDLES THE MILKSTOOL. It is good to glance back along the years and see what tremendous improvement has been made in the health of the nation-—an advancement due, in no small measure, to the labors of those who have brought about the development of dairy herds, and to the hard work of those who have drawn daily from the udders of their cows, in winter, in summer, in good weather and bad, that life-stream of the nation—MILK; and from it produced the cream which places golden butter on every table in the Country. Therefore, as an expression of our genu ine appreciation of the part the dairy farm er was played, and is playing, in the pro motion of human welfare, we wish for our Cream Patrons—for those who straddle the milk-stool everywhere—a New Year brim full of prosperity and happiness. — Wm.
