A Free Question and Answer Service Bureau of Infor- mation on Outdoor Life and Activities Everywhere and Adventiiz. 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 section 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 issue in this department, thus making it itself an exceedingly valuable 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 may give you some valuable general pointers and refer you to books or to local or special sources of information. ae ; Our experts will in all cases answer to the best of their ability, using eg ihn tan ae Oe their own discretion in all matters pertaining to their sections, 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 with an eye to their integrity and reliability. We have emphatically assured each of them that his advice or information is not to be affected in any way by whether a given commodity is or is not advertised in this magazine. 1. Service free to anybody, provided self-addressed envelop and full postage, not at- tached, are enclosed. (See footnote at bottom of page.) Correspondents writing to or from foreign countries will please enclose International Reply Coupons, purchas- able at any post-office, and exchangeable for stamps of any country in the Inter- national Postal Union. 2. Send each question direct to the expert in charge of the particular section whose field covers it. He will reply by mail. Do NOT send questions to this magazin 3. Noreply will be made to requests for partners, for financial backing, or for ch 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. State exactly your wants, qualifications — and intentions. 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 section it seems to belong. 1. TheSea Part!
