e one evening, a few days ago, when Charlie King fell silent
in one of his fits of mathematical speculation.
"Einstein again?" I chaffingly inquired.
He raised his brown eyes and looked at me. "Hammond, since relativity
enabled us to find the Meteor Girl, you ought to be convinced!"
Virginia--whom her husband calls the Meteor Girl--came laughingly to
the rescue.
"Yes, Mr. Hammond, what do you think of Einstein now?"

_Now--Internationale Scientific Society_
Dear Editor:
The genial editor of this "Astounding" publication has
granted me a few words directed to all readers who may be
interested.
The Science Correspondence Club, with the inception of the
new year, will operate under an entirely new policy, most
important of which is the change of name to Internationale
Scientific Society. The archaic and tedious correspondence
will be a minor consideration in the new policy. Our
publications and form letter methods of communication keep
all members fully informed as to up-to-date news of the
Society. Affiliation with the "Verein fuer Raumschiffarht" in
Berlin has been accomplished also. This makes available to
all "Internationale Scientific" members the latest news from
the forefront of science in Germany, with especial reference
to latest rocket interplanetary developments. Constant
improvements on our monthly journal are always sought for.
Contributors of well-known reputation are: Willy Ley, Earl
D. Streeter, R. P. Starzl, Robt. A. Wait, Dr. Wm. Tyler
Olcott, Lilith Lorraine and Dr. D. W. Morehouse, president
of Drake University, Iowa.
This society is endeavoring to bring the scientific news and
personal contact to all scientifically inclined laymen of
the world. Many prominent men in science and Science Fiction
are honorary members, as is Mr. Bates, Editor of Astounding
Stories. All information may be obtained from the business
office at 8834 Michigan Ave., Chicago, Illinois. Thank
you--Walter L. Dennis, Treas.
