Joke?

Herewith are excerpts from letters come to the desks of the editors during the past week. They are selected primarily for the information they contain, either supplementary to, or corrective of, news previously published in TIME.

TIME, Mason City, Iowa

New York, N. Y. Dec. 13, 1924

Gentlemen:

Beg to call your attention to what seems to be an error in your periodical for the last issue received by me in the week of Dec. 8. In the first column on the 29th page of that edition, you gave the name of Judge Allan of the Supreme Court of Ohio as Mrs. Florence E. Allan. I think you will find upon investigation that Judge Allan is single. I make this suggested correction because your magazine seems to enjoy a joke on itself as well as any one else.

I wish at the same time to express my appreciation of the magazine. It fills a very necessary place in the busy man's reading. I know I pick it up when it arrives and read it from cover to cover in one or two sittings.

REMLEY J. GLASS. Investigation was made; the Judge is single. Incidentally, she spells her name as TIME spelled it--A-l-l-e-n.--Ed.

Intelligent

TIME, Chicago, Ill.

New York, N. Y. Dec. 13, 1924

Gentlemen:

As one who has found your publication both useful and entertaining, I have more than once admired the ability of your writers and their unusually high average of intelligence. However, your writers don't deserve all the credit. Judging by the sentiments of myself and friends, your readers are quite as high an average. Their letters are some of the best things you publish.

JOSEPH STOLPE. TIME could not be published were it not for the existence of intelligent readers.--ED.
