SPARE TIME TRAINING for YOUR Part in NATIONAL DEFENSE and... the AFTER YEARS!
Our first job is to aid our nation in this world crisis—to serve her most effectively. Our second task is to prepare for the adjustment years that will follow. For most of us, fortunately, both tasks call for the same preparation; quick, thorough training that we may know more and do more. The trained man will help more in this crisis, and he will be better equipped for the adjustment years. He will be more valuable to the nation now and to himself all the rest of his days. Right now one of our bottlenecks is the shortage of leaders—supervisors, managers, and executives—in defense industries. The millions of workers need thousands of trained supervisors. When the adjustment years arrive, these leaders will still be the needed and preferred men. So immediately and in the long run, training for the leadership jobs is both a patriotic and selfish investment. If you are interested in knowing the possibilities of such an investment, simply check on the coupon below the field of business in which you are most interested. We will send you—without obligation—a free 48-page booklet about the opportunities and requirements in that field, and full details about our low cost, home study training. It will cost you only a 3 cent stamp to inquire—the returns may mean larger success and service for years to come.

New Branch of Weird Tales Club

Allow me to announce that the Louisiana State Fantasy Society is being formed. We would like to affiliate with the WEIRD TALES CLUB. All those interested should contact Thomas Brackett at Box 214, Winnsboro, Louisiana.

Science-fiction is also a phase of the club.

This society is situated down in the most picturesque and romantic section of our country and so it has a lot to start on.

Please list me as a WEIRD TALES CLUB member.

Raised Among the Banshees

I was born amid all sorts of superstition. I saw fear in old people's eyes when they saw my mother with her glorious red hair. Of course, this was in the far-off Blackett Islands, but I am steeped in the lore of the Irish. Can tell your horrible members all sorts of spooky tales. I was born in Ireland; came here when I was eighteen. I'm twenty-six now. A widower with a year-old son. By profession I'm a teacher. I'm lame, but don't let it interfere with my ghost-hunting.

I've read your magazine since I've been here.
