We beg parties who send US COM
mnnications for publication to always
send their names along with their ar
ticles. Not that we wish to publish
the name, but as means Of identifca-
less this is done. Sometimes al ar
ticle is sent US and the party writing it
fails to send his name, perhaps he for
got to sign it. The article goes into
the waste basket, and he thinks hard
of us when the fault was all his own.
Many an article Is thrown aside by the
publisher that he,would be glad to pub
lish. but not knowing who is respon-
sible for 1t, no other alternative is left
him.
