I have read. every issue-of your-magazine with the exception of the July issue, The magazine could not be better. In the department “The Render Airs His Views,” I read a letter of a certain Mr, John R.. Kiessling, of Cincinnati, in which he said thit serials should not have more than two parts. I that he is wrong.. If the serials are like “The Ark of the Covenant” they can be as long-as the author can make them. Give us more serials like it, ¢ stories that I hiked most were: 1. “The -Ark of the Covenant,” 2, "The Invisible Raiders.” 3..“Around the World in 24 Hours,” “The. Air Spy,” ‘The Sky Maniac” “Through the Air Tunnel” were I did not like “The Robot Master.” Before I close I would like to know about the rocket principle in regard to airplanes. ENRIQUE BLANCO, : San Juan, P. R. (For the rocintt “principle with regard to air- planes we refer~ Mr, Blanco to the Depember issue of Sctence Wonper Srontes and the article entitled, “The Rocket Comes to the Front Page,” Mr. Blanco will find therein a pretty good answer to his question -as well as the latest developments on rockets—Editor.) and pretty good, Wants Book Length Story in Each Issue Editory, AIR WONDER STORIES: I have noticed that- many of your readers have sent in a list of Arr Wownner Sromss em according to their likes or dislikes. i had this idea and used it for your former publication and am_now using it on your present stories though I have never sent them'in to you, I have-a-sort of index made up in one of my nate books giving the title of the story, type of story, how I liked it and in what magazine and. the issue I can find it in. This I have done for my own information only; as I keep all of your magazines in binders and, when the desire comes to rend a good story, by the use of my index I can find at once the type of story which will appeal to my particular mood. , Here is my classification for the first three issues and all of ‘THe Ark of the Covenant”: 1 is excellent and it has to be an extraordinary story to get under this class; 2 is very good and will bear. rereading time and time again; 3 is good but one reading is about enough; 4 is fair, hardly worth mea dloning? 8 as: “The Ark of the Covenant” “The Planet’s Air Master” Class 2 “The Silent Destroyer” “The Yellow Air-Feril” “Beyond Gravity” “The Bloodless War” “The Air Terror’ “Flight in 1999” Class 3 “Men With Wings” “The Beacon of Airport Seven” “Tslands in the Air” Class 4 “Where Gravity Ends’ 7 Under the different classes I have also listed the stories in the order -as FE liked them; such as in class 2 I liked “The Silent Destroyer” the best, though the others are all close to it Under class 1, I am rather puzzled as it is hich of those two stories I like best, The first issue of “The Ark of the Covenant” I classed as “Very Good;” but -as the story went on I decided I just had to class it all ag excellent, rding Mr, Kiessling’s letter in the Oc- tober issue I will say that I do not care for Jong. serials and really would prefer, say a book-length or near book-length story. in ench issue, one long story and one or two shorter stories, Because the only reason most editors have serials is to keep up circulation and so far. your magazines have-heen fine enough to keep a reader without that extra inducement.: And now regarding Edward E. Chappelow’s letter in your first OuanterLy, His’ suggestion is. excellent and L believe you are. the logical one to start such a club and have a page or two of your magazines devoted to the club. This could be used to-settle main questions and ‘| arguments and keep the different clubs informed as to what other clubs were doing. (the idea being to -have a brunch club in each state, or more or _less-depending on how the idea goes over), I believe it would also be ‘a good idea to hove one of your authors at the head of each club if they wére in favor of the idea, then we would all be one gréat-big family.
