LETTER CARRIERS SAFE,

No Reason to Fear Places Will Not

There is no reason for letter carriers
who are serving in the state militia on

order declaring that all men in the
service of their country who were en-
ployes of the department would have
their positions held for them. and that
at the expiration of their military serv-
ice they would find their old positions
in the postal service waiting for them.

BULLET PROTECTOR" NO GOOD.

VIENNA, July 1s.-The Austrian
authorities have been making an ap-
parently Intellectual fight against an
alleged bullet protector" that Is wide

dangerous rather than helpful in any
way.
The protector" is nothing but
curved piece of metal that is hung
about the neck inside the tunic, and

lessen the force of a bullet fred at
long range. In practice. the authori-
ties claim. 1t is merely a menace, be-
cause a bullet at short range-as most
of them are-will not only pierce it
easily. but fiatten out in the process
and often carry bits Of the metal on
into the body.
Some half a dozen dealers in the
protector" were hailed before the
courts recently on the charge of en-
dangering public safety. Each claimed
that the metal shields will stop bull
lets fired at a thousand yards or more.
They established satisfactorily that
they never had sold the shields under
any other pretense. Therefore they
could not be held for fraud.
