Many French Papers Over 100 Years Old

When the French heard that a newspaper published in 1854 had been found in the Austrian national library at Vienna they dusted off the records to show they could do better.
 The old Gazette de France. long a weekly. would have ,been nearly three centuries old today but the war stopped it's publication. It was the first French newspaper. estab- Iished in 1881 by Theophraste E.. naudot. physician who came here from Venice where gazettcs were common enough to give a name 10 tho small coin 'gazetta," the price charged for them.
 Louis XIII and Cardinal RichnlinlI took an interest in this Saturday newspaper and it became a sort of official publication.
 France. however. has two dozen other newspapers that are more than centcnarians. The oldest of the living is Le Journal de Loiret started 1S4 years ago. Paris has the Iaurna] des Dehats, founded in 17S9 influential and at the top rank in the newspaper world.
 Newspapers of the type current today date in France from shortly after the revolution Of 11?3.

Paris, Feb. IS. Fl-A fortress with ] moat guards the gold of the Bank

Paris Feb. IS. f%l-A fortress with a moat guards the gold of the Bank of France.
 Even American bankers admire it, says officials of the bank. Deep in the cellars of the last built branch of the bank, in an old arstocratic palcae, there is always an armed sentinel with orders to let no one but the chief director en- ter. The entrance to the strongroom is a metal safe-door seven feet thick. Inside. the gold is stored in other, supposedly burgiar-proof boxes.
 The moat, sixty-five feet deep. has a swift ten foot flow of water in it, diverted from an underground river.
 Should some master cracksman reach the hig steel door. he would be in smooth steel corridor the floor of which would disappear from under him once he began operations. Below him would be the swift stream and all about him polished steel surfaces offering no grip. What devices there are to cause the floor to vanish are secret. Off cials are SO certain of the safety of their treasure that they are willing that burglars should know where France keeps her billions.

Use Wild West Movies To Test Bus Drivers

 There are all sorts of laboratory experiments to determine physical and mental reactions of spplicaf f,ts and the old employees also are Eiv- en a new examination every five years.
 Movies have only recently been added to the tests but they have greatly reduced accidents. The ap- plicant. in dark room, is supposed to indicate his reactions to sounds and signals hy pressing a button or one of two pedals but meanwhile, first a ballet dancer and then the wild west scene are thrown on a screen to distract his attention. This his been worked out as fully equiv alent to the interesting things q careless chauffeur might try to watch in the street while he turns corners on two wheels. avoids collr- sions and obeys traffic signals. Lat CT the chauffeurs operate a dummy bus while street scenes are shown and everything they do in this imaginary trip through crowded streets is recorded.
 Another interesting test is the all most instant designation of the point at which two moving objects will meet. Quickness of perception is de- termined by automatic stop-watch timing of the chauffeurs answer to signals.
