Note: According to Contento, this story first appeared in 1940, but the copyright page of ''Out of This World'', ed. Julius Fast, gives 1931 as the copyright year. An inventory of Collier's papers at the Harry Ransom Humanities Research Center (at one point available on the internet at http://www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&ct=res&cd=6&url=http%3A%2F%2Fresearch.hrc.utexas.edu%3A8080%2Fhrcxtf%2Fview%3FdocId%3Dead%2F00025.xml&ei=l2hhSYbLCqCiMuetqI8K&usg=AFQjCNHmLvu87xjOLERQ5RxkyV8HbrcQ1A&sig2=w8-qGPGdyEmOgc7gAWfiFw) lists a first draft as a "1937(?)" document, which suggests that 1931 is in error.
