e," by
Victor Rousseau. I like stories of vibration as in "Mad
Music," and of acceleration, as in "The Thief of Time." I am
glad to see Harl Vincent in the pages of Astounding Stories.
I have read many good stories by him. Interplanetary stories
are my favorites, and the more you have of them the better.

I wish that you would put Astounding Stories out twice a
month or put out a quarterly containing twice as much
reading material as the monthly. In this you could put one
book-length novel and a few shorter stories.

Are you going to start a department containing the readers'
letters soon?--Jack R. Darrow, 4225 N. Spaulding Avenue,

_Size and Paper_

Dear Editor:

I certainly am glad to see your magazine appear on the
newsstands. I also view with appreciation the fact that you
have such brilliant authors as Harl Vincent and Captain S.
P. Meek, U. S. A., on your list of contributors. Your
stories are of the very highest value in the line of Science
Fiction. However, I did not like "The Corpse on the
Grating." It did not have an inkling of scientific
background. I really am surprised it was published in a
Science Fiction magazine. Aside from the fact that the idea
of the story was merely a fantastical surmise I was very
favorably impressed with the author's style and his use of
the English language.

Why don't you try for some more of the works of the other
well-known authors in this line of fiction?

My main object in writing this letter was that I think you
rub the name of Science Fiction in the dust by printing it
on such paper and in such a small magazine. If you intend to
compete with your several contemporaries, you will almost
have to alter your size and quality of your paper.

You might include a full page Illustration for each story
also, but, you will admit, that to combat these other
influential Science Fiction magazines, you will have to put
your magazine on a par materially with the others in your
line.

I admire the type of stories which you publish and want to
see your magazine get ahead.--Warren Williams, 545
Dorchester, Chicago, Illinois.

_They Will!_

Dear Editor:

I am a monthly reader of your Astounding Stories and I am
greatly interested in them.
