I am not cancelling my subscription but I am calling your article to the attention of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, 69 Fifth Avenue, New York City, as well as certain other organizations in order to give publicity to what I consider a most prejudiced news article.

Deprived
Sirs:
I discover, to my great regret, that a notification of the change in my address has, through unforeseen circumstances, not been forwarded to you. Consequently I have been deprived from the pleasure I had got used to of reading your mighty interesting TIME ever since July 19 of this year. . . .

Tether
Sirs:
Said Bobby Burns, sapient Scot: "Nae man can tether Time." So TIME, at times, runs wild. Thus, TIME which "discovereth all things," blazoned business item commending Servel President Seaber for expeditious action in approaching production of gas fired refrigerators. Not discovered by TIME is the fact that for over two years the Ice-o-lator, gas fired refrigerator, has been serving hundreds of homes. Its makers, National Refrigerating Co., Winchester Arms sponsored corporation, apparently lack potent publicity promoter. "Improve your TIME and your TIME will improve you."

Small Potatoes
Sirs:
... I sent you some verses expressing my approval. You seemed to think I wanted to sell them to you and returned them. It was some slap in the face for one who complimented you.
I decided then not to renew my subscription. At the risk of seeming small potatoes I am going to stick to that determination. Please cease sending TIME when my subscription runs out.

Be Advised ,
Sirs:
TIME, Nov. 8, giving the itinerary of Queen Marie of Rumania, in recounting the story of her trip across America stated: "After leaving Winnipeg, Canada, Her Majesty's train recrossed the border to Minneapolis. . . .
This item having been called to the attention of the United Commercial Travelers of St. Paul in session assembled Nov. 6, a resolution was adopted directing that you be advised that Queen Marie, in recrossing the border, made a direct run of 465 miles to St. Paul. . . .

Scrap-Book
Sirs:
I am writing to express the hope that TIME will continue to use as cover-frontis-pieces those very clever and vigorous portrait sketches by the man whose name I cannot decipher. I have started a scrapbook, containing these drawings and their corresponding articles, and hope to make up a group of such double character-sketches. The latest one, of Dr. Coffin, I think is particularly fine, and it was that one that gave me the idea of making a collection. . . .

Your periodical is a cosmopolitan cocktail. Subtract one ingredient, and you spoil it. Add one, and it won't taste the same.
