New U. S. Gold Vault
Having become possessed of
the world’s largest stock of gold,
Uncle bam is preparing to take
extiaordinary measures to pro
tect it from possible seizure by
an invading nation. The bulk of
this vast treasure is to be placed
in a new vault to be erected on
the military reservation of Fort
Knox, Ky.
This location in the interior of
the country was selected as be
ing more difficult of access than
one near the seacoast, while the
vault itself is virtually impregna
ble. The construction, for which
a contract was recently let, will
be of granite, concrete and steel,
and capable of withstanding
bombs or other explosive lorces
which might be directed against
it.
In addition to the protection
afforded by the vault itself, there
will be a force guards, equipped
with machine guns, electric
warning devices, Hood lights and
every modern means for insur
ing safety.
The nation’s hoard of gold and
silver is at present valued at
more than nine billion dollars.
The new vault will no doubt pre
vent anyone from stealing it, but
something stronger would be
required to keep the government
from spending it.
Uphold Constitution.
An interesting movement in
behalf of constitutional govern
ment has been launched in tbe
South by a new organization
known as the Southern Com
mittee to Uphold the Constituti
o n , Headed by John Henry
Kirby of Houston, Texas, a vet
ran Democrat of that state.
Although the formation of the
committee was begun only a few
weeks ago, it now has repre
sentatives in 16 Southern states,
and is growing rapidly, accord
ing to recent announcements.
The organization is composed
almost entirely of Democratcs,
who are disturbed by the usurpa
tion of power by various execu
tive departments of the govern
ment, and the virtual abdication
of Congress with respect to its
legislative functions.
The committee has issued a
declaration of principles, which
are merely a reaffirmation of ad
herence to the Constitution and
its distinct division of govern
mental powers into three
b ranches—legislative, execu live
and judicial—which have obtain
ed since the foundation of the
Republic.
It believes law should be made
by Congress, instead of by orders
and rulings of executive officials;
also that laws should be written
clearly within constitutional
limits.
The committee opposes the use
of public funds for the establish,
meat of industrial enterprises to

ATHENS AND AUGUSTA SECTIONS AHEAD!
ATLANTA PRESSING THE LEADERS
Setting a pace that is far outstripping all other states east of the
Rocky Mountains, Georgia is making new records each month in
the use of electricity in the home. Now the whole eastern section
of the state has passed the 1,000 kilowatt hour mark.
For the first time in the history of the state, homes in 23 counties
in Northeast Georgia, the Athens division, went ahead of the 1,000
kilowatt hour annual average per residential customer when May
figures were announced. With July figures now available, the Au
gusta division with 17 more Eastern Georgia counties, has also at
tained that high ranking, with an average of 1,008.5 kilowatt hours.
Compare this with the average throughout the country of 648 kilo
watt hours — and you see that the homes in almost one-third of all
Georgia are more than 50 per cent ahead of the average American
home!
The Atlanta division, with a 994 kilowatt hour average, is push
ing for the leadership — the Macon division is next with 971.6 —Co-
lumbus has 910.4 — Rome has 857 — and the combined area served
by this Company, 45,000 square miles, is far ahead of the national
average and bids fair soon to pass the 1,000 kilowatt hour mark
as a whole.*
What does it MEAN to Georgians? It means that all the ad
vantages electricity brings, electric cookery, electric refrigeration,
ironing, washing, better light and the others, are being USED in
Georgia —for better living. It means that Georgia homes arc FAR,
FAR ABOVE THE AVERAGE AMERICAN HOME!
*The average price of electricity
is 38 per cent HIGHER nationally
than these Georgia homes pay.
