those are all.

How about giving us some short short stories? And how about
cutting the edges of the paper smooth? And giving us a
quarterly? But all in all I think your magazine is one of
the best in the field.--Vernon H. Jones, 1603 Sixth Ave.,

_It's Your Imagination_

Dear Editor:

Well, well! Astounding Stories was two days early this
month. See that this happens more often.

Of course, "The Pirate Planet" took first place in the
February number. The story was very well written and the
characters very realistic. It deserves to be put in book
form, also in the talkies. It would be much better than
"Just Imagine."

I welcome Anthony Gilmore, D. W. Hall and F. V. W. Mason to
Astounding Stories. Their stories proved to be very
interesting and I hope to read more.

Do you know how to write editorials? Yes? Then prove it. I
have to be shown. Write on some scientific subject each
month, and every so often write on Astounding Stories itself
and of its stories and authors.

Is it my imagination or have you been using a better grade
of paper in the past two issues? it seems to be much
smoother and a little thinner than that used previously.

I notice that you are giving more room to some of the
illustrations, as in "Werewolves of War" and "The Pirate
Planet." The larger the illustrations are the more there can
be put in them.--Jack Darrow, 4225 No. Spaulding Ave.,

_If He But Could!_

Dear Editor:

Astounding Stories is without doubt the most preeminent in
its field.

With such versatile authors as Burks (When does his next
story appear?), Starzl, Cummings, Leinster, Vincent and all
the rest, how can it help but to overshadow all periodicals!

The illustrations are superfine. Wesso is a marvel! If he
could only write his own stories and illustrate them!

Now, a suggestion. I am positive that every Reader of your
magazine wants you to start a department in which
biographies of the authors and their photographs are given.
Why not start one?--Julius Schwartz, 407 East 183rd St.,
Bronx, New York.
