I wish you every success in the world.--C. P. Binsford. M. D., 604 Pearl Street, Huntsville, Ala. _A Satirical Drama--Complete_ Dear Editor: One Act Play of the Future Time-traveler from the Twentieth Century: "So this is the year 24,000 A.D.?" Sulsu-D-9: "Yes, Visitor from the Past." Time-Traveler: "Say, Sulsu-D-9, has Astounding Stories brought out a Quarterly yet?" Sulsu-D-9: "No, Man from the Long Ago, but it looks like we'll have one within the next five years!"--Forrest J. Ackerman, 530 Staples Ave., San Francisco, Cal. _An Employment Non-Solution_ Dear Editor: Owing to the fact that I have been a constant Reader of Astounding Stories since the first day it appeared on the news-stands, I think that it is about time for me to drop a few lines to you to show my appreciation for the many, many good stories that you have given the Readers of Science Fiction in the pages of your mag. I agree very strongly with Mr. Sager of Bessemer, Ala., about the paper in the book. If the stories are interesting, why in the name of Seven Kinds of Hades should anyone worry about the kind of paper as long as the print is readable. What is that old saying about the best articles not being always in the best wrapped parcels? I am here to say that Astounding Stories is the best of its kind. What I have to say now is by no means a criticism. I am merely asking for an explanation. I have no regard for those people who are continually looking for flaws to peck about in various stories. In the May, 1931, issue my choice of all the fine stories was "Dark Moon." That was a super-story and I enjoyed it from start to finish, even the third or fourth time I read it. If a story is worth reading once it is worth reading several times, is my belief. But now comes the question. Will some other kind Reader endeavor to explain it to me? How could the intrepid explorers on the Dark Moon see the light of Earth and the other planets if the light from the Dark Moon could not pass the gaseous formation to Earth, etc.? And how could the Dark Moon receive the light that it did? [Mr. Diffin did not explain that; perhaps he intends to do so in a sequel. Who knows?--_Ed._]. One main fault I have to find with Astounding Stories is that it is not published twice a month, if not oftener. By the way, would that not be a plan to help out unemployment. It would put more men to work and I am sure that all of us Readers could scrape up 20c more a month for this wonderful magazine. How about it? [But this, I think, would _increase_ unemployment!--_Ed._].
