_A Kind Offer_
Dear Editor:
I'm sure you will sympathize with me for reading your
magazine in study hall.
It is so very dull--I have three S.H.'s in a row--that I
have to do something to relieve the monotony, so, seeing the
latest copy of A. S. at my newsdealer's, I brought it back
to school after dinner. I am speaking of the February
number. I very much enjoyed the Dr. Bird story. Capt. Meek
is always good. "Phalanxes of Atlans" promises to be an
excellent story, also.
What I want to know is, why are so many mossbacks throwing
brickbats? What does it matter if some of the stories are
not on the scientific chalk line? A very wise man once said
that "Variety is the spice of life," so why not take a hint,
some of you would-be brickbat pitchers, and pipe down?
I have read every issue of Astounding Stories published so
far, and have not a brickbat to report as yet. I notice in
one letter to "The Readers' Corner" a request for a
department on rocket propulsion. I presume the writer meant
on propelling rocket planes. I have experimented on rocket
ships for the past three years and can give some data on
these as to the construction of models (for when I say ships
I really mean model airplanes). I have had this as my hobby
for the past four and a half years, and can give extensive
information on model building. I specialize in models
powered by power other than rubber; and I took second place
at the Atlantic City Tournament held in October by the
