A-B-C
Sirs:
On account of the frequency with which South American affairs are ignored or involuntarily misrepresented in the North American press, I lave been very pleased to read a kind of " A B C " section devoted to Argentine; Brazil, and Chile, in your Nov. 19 issue.
Among the news referring to Chile, my country, there was a sympathetic reference to our 'protective tariff" for the benefit of Chilean smelting interests. Allow me to thank you for this, especially because I know that you are not fishing, but saying this because you broad-mindedly and openly mean it.
May I express my hopes that you will continue paying attention to South America and Chilean affairs which are growing more and more to be of a mutual interest for North and South America.

Lindbergh's Antelope
Sirs:
On page 45 of your issue of Nov. 5 appears a statement about a dispatch from Mexico telling "of Lindbergh slaying an antelope from an airplane in Mexico." This statement appeared widely in the daily press. OUTDOOR LIFE did not believe this statement. Amongst hunters it is not considered sporting to use such advanced mechanical aids in the actual taking of game. Col. Lindbergh certainly stands as the embodiment of American ideals of sportsmanship. Consequently we investigated the report The newspaper reporter, as is common in stories about wild animals, had considered the romance of the fancied of more news value than the actual fact. Apparently Col. Lindbergh did not shoot the antelope from his airplane but located the antelope from the air, and, alighting, stalked his game on foot and bagged it. . . .
I have read TIME practically since the first number. The newspapers offering me such an indigestible souffle, I have come to rely upon your excellent magazine for the pertinent news of the day.
