ANSWERS TO CORRESPONDENTS 



A correspondent asks us to give a few sugges- 

 tions to parties desiring to write articles for 

 publication in the Hummer. We give a few. 



(1) Write on one side of the paper only. 



(2) Write neatly, spell correctly. 



(3) Write what you have to say in as concise a 

 form as possible, avoid disconnected sentences. 



(4) Do not repeat words when it can be avoided, 

 this applies particularly to personal pronouns. 



(5) Keep always to the subject in hand, if you 

 start to write an article on a duck, for instance, 

 don't ling in other birds too -often. 



(6) If you start out with a friend do not leave 

 him by the wayside, do not monopolize the arti- 

 cle with Ts'; after having introduced other char- 

 acters your readers will expect you to keep them 

 up with the procession.
