SUIT SLAMS SAFEST

IN MATCH point duplicate, 1t
Is pretty hard sometimes to blame
ambitious slam bidders for seek
ing top scores by bidding them in
No Trump rather than in a suit.
But when the game is rubber
bridge. there is no justification
for jeopardizing the big game and
slam premiums by trying for the
few extra points from No Trump
unless the slam seems equally safe
in that declaration. Usually there
is added surety in the best suit be-
cause you can protect your short
suits by ruffs. besides picking up
occasional extra tricks that way

Good NeighbOr Policy" to Be Theme of Various
 Local Clubs

The Connecticut League of Wo- men Voters, which for six years has followed closely the development of the United States Good Neighbor Policy, today announced the issuance by, the National League of Women Voters of Cooperation with Latin America" third of series of Latin American problems" designed to bring understanding of current de- velopments in the inter American field.
 The new study material, based on the Foreign Policy Association pam phlet, Look at Latin America" builds 8 backlog of basic informa- tion on the economic situation, ma terial resources, climate, education and industrial development of each of the twenty-one American repub- lies.
 "As wars in Europe and Asia grow more intense, there is corre- spending increase in the cooperation of the American republics" said Mrs. Louis Leonard Wright of Chicago, National League foreign policy chairman, in presenting the prob lem"
 "These wars have thrown into sharp focus the need of unity among the democratic countries of this hemisphere. The Good Neighbor Policy was devised by the United States in time of peace. It has now become necessary as a defense meas Vsn f.a of Y,a3t tr<J States is therefore broadening the scope and greatly accelerating the pace of its inter American program. The measure of its success is the degree of cooperation by the Latin American republics"

ADDITIONAL HELP
 TO HANDLE MAIL
Pot Office Here Given $6,s 35O Allowance for Extra
 Clerks, Carriers

Extra help in handling Christmas mail and parcel post will begin next week, Postmaster Charles A. Bahin said yesterday afternoon, and add ed that to date the volume did not warrant any additional help to be hired.
 Postmaster Babin indicated that he expects this years volume to be the greatest, exceeding the Christ mas rush of last year. The local postofice was allotted $6,359.60 as its portion to handle the deluge of mail expected at Christmas. The previous year allotment was practically the same as this year, the postmaster said. Available men, MT. Babin said, will be drawn from civil service list, and if the listed is exhausted, men from colleges will be selected, not interrupting men who are stead- fly employed.
 Extra clerks, the postmaster stated, will be put on as the volume of mail increases, and probably the greatest rush will not start until the middle of next week.
 The hired men will be paid 65 cents an hour and the hours of work will be based on the volume of the mall received.

None realized that guns thudding to the southeast were hammering the preliminaries to another war that was to be the ruin of them all. Allied armies were shredding to pieces the ancient monarchy
 Otto was too young in 1916 to know what was going on when his father, Karl, suddenly took the throne left vacant by the death of the venerable Franz Joseph. Of the silent night procession which car- ried the remains of the old emperor from the palace, he knew nothing. He may dimly remember the gilt tering ceremonies in which his father became emperor.
 900 YEARS OF
 GLORY FADED OUT
 With the body of old Franz Jo- seph, who had reigned 68 years, went the last of 900 years of glory for the House of Hapsburg. Karl was left emperor of a disintegrating realm. Shadows of the dark court yard through which Franz Joseph went on his last journey were over- spreading the empire.
 Karl and Zita reigned briefly but they could not rule. In the Haps- burg tradition, Zita, the woman, was the strong one. She tried to make separate peace, which might have saved the throne. She failed, and incurred the everlasting ennity of Germany.
 Karl and Zita gathered their chil- dren and fled In Switzerland they found haven while the storm of Bolshevism broke over Hungary. Their empire was divided by the victors.
 WORDS AND ARMS
 FAIL TO RESTORE THRONE
 In 1921 Karl tried to regain his throne by going to Budapest and demanding it personally of Regent Horthy. In 1922 he tried again, this time with an armed putsch. Both efforts failed.
