I do not remember its author’s name, but I do know that he can use language to the extent that we might say that he ‘said it with flowers.” I see a comment by one writer in ‘'Dis- cussions” in the last issue about the magazine catering to those whose intellect is weak, or those who are childish, He did not use the exact words, but conveyed the meaning, J might suggest to all of such a mental capacity and ideas pertaining to that meaning, that if they will also pursue the current topics of inventions they will be enormously surprised at the actual patents on things only re- cently placed as fiction in AMazInG Stories Take for instance the story about the world below the Infra-Red Rays, which sounded foolish to those unbelievers, but not to yours truly, and now there is an article in last Sunday’s Atlanta Constitution about a machine which transposes vision picked up by the Infra-Red Rays, and so arranges it that the human eye can see it—and picks. up scenes in the dark, Foolish, eh, well it’s good science, so says the New York Police Department, This letter is more helter-skelter than I ex- pected, -because of interruptions to discuss business with my clients while writing it. Mayhap I can do better next time, if this letter be so lucky as to get into print, Just one more thrust at those spineless brains that claim AMAZING. Stories are weak and for weaklings. I have found that the reasoning Ca- pacity of those in “Discussions” have been awak- ened to new ideas and loftier ideals by perusal of these same stories, and if we be able to make some poor human being think in a line of progression we have most certainly attained a point in the scale af benefit and good will to man, that we. should be able to say to each of our editers of AMazING Stories and worthy contributors, ‘Well done, thou good and faithful servant,” : C. S. Bennette, 1203 1-2 Broad St., Columbus, Ga. (The writer of this interesting communication is the senior member of a Colitmbus, Ga, law frm and, like so many others of our readers’ letters, it tells its own story, DBennette’s clients, with all their interruptions, did not prevent him from writ- ing a particularly good and well-put letter. It interests us to see the commendation which he and many others bestow upon The Moos Pool. It had a touch of travel and geography about it, a touch of psychology, especially in the Irishman, and quite a deep character study. We feel that we publish letters enough to show how well taken it is when we receive such good letters as the above,— EDITOR) c THE PROPOSED SCIENCE CLUB—A CON- STRUCTIVE LETTER WITH A GOOD OUTLINE OF WORE Editor, AMazinc Sroxtes: Being a regular reader of AMaAzING Stories, I have often intended to write to your Discussions Department about the organization of the Science Club, which has been the subject of discussion for some time. This idea has interested me very much, and I would be greatly pleased to see it developed into something worth while. JI thought at first that you would take hold of it, suggest a plan of organization and get it started, following the line of development used by other publications which have fostered organizations of readers for various purposes, but it is now apparent that you are determined to leave it entirely in the hands of those of your readers who are interested enough to go ahead and organize the Science Club, and on care- ful consideration this plan will prove to be best. A club so organized will be best because it will be strong and able to stand on its own feet; it will have a backbone composed of those who have the initiative to go ahead and organize it. There must be a number of stich persons among the readers of Amazrne Stortes, and I hope to see them>get {nto action soon, A plan of action which suggests itself to me is this, which I submit for the consideration of all who are interested: If you are interested in organizing the Science Club, insert a small ad in the ‘'Personal’’ cohimn of your local newspaper reading something like this: “Anyone interested in organization of Science Club communicate with a That would be a very inexpensive way of gét- ting in touch with those in the vicinity who were interested, and it will get results, Instead of writing immediately to all who reply to your ad, get in touch with a few, who will help you bear the expense of corimunication with the others.. Get out a mimeograph letter if there are enough replies to warrant it. Issue a call for a meeting, sending it to all who reply to your ad. Those who attend the amieeting will authorize one of their number to write a letter to the Editor of Amazinc Stones, outlining their ideas regarding the nature of the permanent organization. These ideas should be stated as certain clearly defined points, which can be collated and classified by the Editor, When all. the letters from the various meetings are examined, it is quite certain that the points outlined in each will be duplications of those outlined in others. The Editor can then collate the suggestions and send to the corresponding secretaries of the branches a list of the points suggested by all the letters. An- other meeting can be called to vote on acceptance or rejection of each point as stated in the Editor's list, and the ballots will be returned to the Editor, who will tabulate the returns and determine there- from the final form of the organization, Ten years ago Radio was in its infancy—today TELEVISION is.
