Jupce wants to call the attention of his contributors to his statement that all manuscripts should be accompanied by a self-addressed, stamped envelope if the return of the same is desir unavailable. Plain as is this stateme many contributors think that the closure of stamps is all that is nec sary. Jupce probably receives more manuscripts than any other Am publication. ‘True, many of them are only two: or three-line jokes, but it takes just as long to address an envelope, whether its contents is going to be a one-line epigram or five-thousand-word short story. Court rules must be obeyed in the office of Jupce. Another rule that is often overlooked is that all offi- cial communications should be addressed to Junce, and not to the individuals who may sit on the su- preme bench. When an editor goes away on a fishing trip, and leaves orders that only personal mail is to be forwarded, he does not like ‘to find, a few mornings later, a bunch of envelopes containing only man- useripts. Really, such action is very apt to ruffle, his temper, and JUDGE WON.

The shortest period in this list was that credited to Jupce. In this connection it surely will not be amiss to quote in conclusion one of sev- eral letters which Jupce has recently ived about prompt decisions on manuscripts: | “Dear Junce: Allow me to congratu- your honor for your efficiency in sposing of cases. I have been before many tribunals, but was never let down so promptly. It doesn’t take Junce’s Judge long to render a decision. Upon |receiving your opinion I feel that I hardly need seek a change of venue. ! Yours sincerely, EA.” 4. A crooked traveler. Barred from traveling. ican!
