ly A. Merritt, and if you could
reprint "Through the Dragon Glass," by A. Merritt, I wish
you would, and give it a cover illustration, as I have
everything by him except that one. Please give it a cover
illustration as well as any by Merritt and Burroughs you
ever print.

You certainly have a good title, and in my opinion the
magazine need not be changed one iota, except perhaps you
might have the background a different color every month;
that is, the background of the cover, using every color in
the solar spectrum, which might make it sell better, and, at
any rate, would make a nice looking magazine in my opinion.
Everything in Science Fiction that comes out I have to get,
and pretty soon I will have so much that I will probably
have to pay storage space for it. I have a pretty good
amount now; four stacks two feet high each, but I can't
resist it and will keep on buying as long as there is
anything in that line to buy, and as long as I can.

Put this in the proverbial waste-basket if you don't want to
print it, as that is probably its ultimate destination
anyway, as my ideas are not worth much or less than that.
But I do wish you would read it through and act on my
suggestions soon.

Thanks--from an ardent devourer of Science Fiction, who
reads everything in that line he can get his hands on, your
and our magazine being one of the best in that line.--Worth

"_A Great Magazine_"

Dear Editor:

I have just come across a copy of your new magazine
Astounding Stories, and to say that it is a great magazine
is putting it mild. I enjoy stories of the distant future.
The first instalment of "The Beetle Horde" by Victor
Rousseau was great. I hope to hear more of this author in
coming issues. I would like to see stories by such authors
as Edgar Rice Burroughs, Harl Vincent, Otis Adelbert Kline,
Garret Smith, also Ray Cummings. I wish Astounding Stories a
long life.--Wilbert Moyer, 533 N. 7th Street, Allentown, Pa.

_Mr. Anderson's Favorites_

Dear Editor:

Just a word referring to your "What kind of stories do you
like?" in Astounding Stories. I like stories with some facts
based on true science of to-day, but let the author's
imagination wander a little, because
