editor like myself to receive such gratifying comment. All I can say is, "More!"- EDITOR)

THE EDITOR'S EASY CHAIR

The difficulty of the "Art of putting things" is often illustrated with curious results by inexperienced writers of advertisments for newspapers. The friends of a one-legged man of intemperate habits, desiring to prevent the exercise of indiscriminate charity toward him ,cautioned the public as follows:

All persons are hereby requested not to give Samuel Martin a single cent- the man that wears a wooden leg for he makes bad use of it. 

Louis Russell Chauvenet and Robert W. Lowndes also gave their comment on the third issue. Lack of space forbade us printing the letters. However, gentlemen, you can be sure that they were carefully read and their advice has, in some cases, been acted upon. 

Here is a bit of doggerel verse that can be said to describe the format of "Wavelength" (or so we hope!):

Stet liber hic, donec fluctus
formica marinos
Ebibat, et totam testudo
perambulet orbem

Translated:

Till an ant shall drink up the whole sea, 
Till a tortoise shall walk the earth round, 
May this volume continue to be 
For type and correctness renown'd 

We beg to announce the fact that, beginning with the next issue, "Wavelength" goes on a bi-monthly schedule. The next issue will be dated "April-May, 1942."

Have you sent in your seven cents for the first issue of "Imagi-Music?" Art Widner, Jr. is represented with "Roll Your Own" and your Editor with "The Quartet in G MInor." There's a beaut of an editorial, too - "Imagination in Music". You can't miss this - it's a must. " Act now.
