Astounding Stories of Super-Science, August 1930

May Astounding Stories be more astounding yet. I like it!--Monroe Hood Stinson, 1742, 12th Ave., Oakland, California. Only Fiction!

I have only one suggestion to make: Let Astounding Stories come out every other Thursday.--Harold Kulko, 433 Palmer E., Detroit, Michigan.
