e each time since it was first
printed. And many times I've felt like quitting. Why? There
are a number of reasons.

First, you print stories that have nothing to do with
science, such as "The Soul Master." Second, your
illustrations are poor. They would look better if they were
full page ones. Wesso is the best artist you have. Gould and
Sabo are just plain cartoonists, and mighty poor ones at
that. Third, you print stories that give a weak and
implausible scientific basis. Diffin, Gee, Leinster and
several others err in this respect. Fourth, rotten paper--it
goes to pieces after being handled. Fifth, no editorial or
science questionnaire.

Your authors will not starve if you print reprints. Rousseau
and a lot of others write for other magazines. And reprints
would occupy such a measly space that they could hardly be
called down for being printed.

Your magazine has some good features: a good cover; good
authors like Breuer, Vincent, Meek, Ernst and Starzl; clear
type; and handy size.

If anyone thinks I'm wrong--well my address is given. This
challenge includes the editor. I sincerely hope you will
improve your magazine--Edwin C. Magnuson, 1205 E. Ninth St.,

_Suggestions_

Dear Editor:

I have read your excellent magazine ever since it came out,
and though it needs a few corrections like the others, A. S.
is nearly perfect. Why not have your pages evened up, and
add a department of science on subjects such as Rocket
Propulsion etc., so the readers could become familiar with
the mystifying problems stated in the stories? Have the
advertisements in the back, and don't change your artists as
their work is satisfactory.

Robert Baldwin of Illinois has an excellent list of
suggestions. Why not have a page devoted to the pictures and
biographies of your writers, and full page illustrations?
Why not have a space for good reprints and charge a nickel
more? I am sure it will be appreciated by readers. Why don't
you put out a Quarterly, twice as thick or containing twice
as many stories for fifty cents?--A satisfied reader--Hume
