that salutation as has no one else to whom I have ever written. All the slaps on the back, congratulations and any other of the things done to or for meritorious —_person- ages are certainly de- served in your case. your arti “We Resolve Again, in the January issue of JuDcE, every orchid the world ever grew. i was formerly a subscriber of “Life” and I never suspected that 1 took anything but a humor magazine. When my subscription changed, I had the same thought about Jupce. Your declaration on war is the ultimate in intelligent editorials of all I have read. Never has any magazine with which I have ever been acquainted dared, to my knowledge, to say what you have said. They have hinted and they have side-stepped and they have dodged the truth until I have become so damned disgusted that I could swear, and I would here if 1 didn’t hope that you would publish what one man thinks about this nationalism, and national honor business. If someone wants to read what one of the greatest minds in history thought about honor of any and all sorts, let him look up what Falstaff says in William Shakespeare's “Henry the IV,” part 1, Act V, Scene 1, the last speech. Therein, gentlemen, lies also my opinion of this word, “honor.” Blessings on thee, and I will be in jail to greet thee if and when the next war starts. With deepest sincerity, James Watson, Bangor, Maine. Dear Sir: Your substitute for “Life” received. If this is the answer just discontinue and keep the change. We still need decency in some western homes. I'm trying to raise a family and your bright vocabulary of “hells,” “damns” and whiskey ads-isn’t just the correct thing in some old-fashioned places. Yours truly, W. S. Acton, Lewistown, Mont. Gentlemen: Have just received the last number of Junce. It is Pontively the worst magazine of its kind 1 have ever scen—to find fault with. Bernard T. Catt, Logan, W. Va. Mr. Don Herold Dear Sir: Just a line to warm your heart by telling you that I enjoyed your article in JuDGe en- titled “Radio and What to Do About It.” The antagonists of the saccharine, unctuous ad- vertising radio announcer are increasing in numbers at a rapid rate. Sharpen your trusty scalpel, make the in- cisions deep into the thick hides and toss a few handfuls of salt into the cuts. The battle of the century is on and we are right behind you in the saddle. With sincere admiration, > W. M. Matuie, Chicago, III. High Hat Editor: Will you please tell me where I can get copies of the 1936 funniest stories that you listed on page 30 of the January Jupce? I am particularly interested in the title “The Four Lazy dam ts.” Tam a Scout Master and several of my charges are en- titled to that classification. Maybe if 1 read LETTERS them that story it will snap them out of that kind of camping. Thanking you for this information, I am Yours truly, B. L. MippLETON, Crockett, Calif. Gentlemen: . At the foot of first page of theatrical re- view, current edition, you have italicized “Page 41, please.” In justice to Mr. Nathan, shouldn't it read, “Turn over, you b-—"? Yours gratuitously, Joun ARCHER, Providence, R.1. Gentlemen: In the last number of your valued publi- cation, I believe the writer of Mrs. Pep's Diary has made an historical error. She states in the diary that Mary Queen of Scots said when she died, that the word “Calais” would be found written on her heart. I believe that history assigns that remark to Mary Tudor 1553-1558, the older half sister of Elizabeth. It was during the short reign of Mary Tudor that the city of Calais was lost to England, and its loss gave rise to this historic remark by Mary Tudor. Yours very truly, FRANKLIN E. Foco, Richland Center, Wisc. Good Morning, Jupce: Just breezed thru “Are You Sure? by Irv- ing D. Tressler and ended up with the neat little score of 44—but that’s not why I'm writing this, In the third question there is supposed to be one misspelled word, but after consulting “Mr. Webster” I find that your “tranquillity” is also misspelled. There is only one "I" in tranquility. You're welcome, I. Yarsroucn, Chicago, Ill. Dear Editor: Why in the world is that once-a-subscriber- but-never-again beefing about your dramatic critic's language? Because it is slangy? Doesn't Disappointed-one know that slang is very correct in its place? And that it has made for itself a very definite place in all literature? I admit that there is quite an art to using slang words and expressions and making them fit the occasions. And I believe that your critic accomplishes this very well with much ease and grace.
