me te Ste & Ask Adventure 187 A Free Question and Answer Service Bureau of Infor- mation on Outdoor Life and Activities Everywhere and Upon the Various Commodities Required Therein. Con- ducted for Adventure Magazine by our Staff of Experts. UESTIONS should be sent, not to this office, but direct to the expert in charge of the department in whose field it falls. So that service may be as prompt as possible, he will answer you by mail direct. But he will also send to us a copy of each question and answer, and from these we shall select those of most general interest and publish them each month in this department, thus making it itself an exceedingly valuable and standing source of practical information. Unless otherwise requested, inquirer’s name and town are printed with question; street numbers not given. When you ask for general information on a given district or subject the expert will probably give you some valuable general pointers and refer you to books or to local or special sources of information. Our experts will in all cases answer to the best of their ability, using their own discretion in all matters pertaining to their departments subject only to our general rules for “Ask Adventure,” but neither they nor the magazine assumes any responsibility beyond the moral one of trying to do the best that is possible. These experts have been chosen by us not only for their knowledge and experience but for their integrity and reliability. We have emphatically assured each of them that his advice or information is not to be af- fected in any way by whether a given commodity is or is not advertised in this magazine. 1. Service free to anybody, provided stamped and addressed envelope is enclosed. 2. Send each question direct to the expert in charge of the particular department whose field covers it. Do NOT send questions to this magazine. 3. No reply will be made to requests for partners, for financial backing, or for chances to join expeditions. ‘“‘Ask Adventure’’ covers business and work opportunities, but only if they are outdoor activities, and only in the way of general data and advice. It is in no sense an employment bureau. 4, Make your questions definite and specific. and intentions. State exactly your wants, qualifications Explain your case sufficiently to guide the expert you question. 5. Send no question until you have read very carefully the exact ground covered by the particular expert in whose department it seems to belong. 1, Islands and Coasts CapTAIN A. E.
