A NEW DEPARTMENT 



BEGINNING with our new volume, 

 we shall conduct a correspond- 

 ence department in this magazine. 

 Questions from members of the So- 

 ciety who want information on matters 

 of a geographic nature will be cheer- 

 fully received and answered as far as it 

 is possible for us to do so. It is hoped 

 that not only those members who are 

 seeking information will make use of 

 the new department, but also those 

 members who have new or interesting 

 facts to communicate. The member- 

 ship of the National Geographic So- 



ciety is so large that practically every 

 corner of the United States, and, in 

 fact, every corner of the globe is being 

 watched by some member. Many of 

 them, in their daily life, are seeing 

 things which would be of supreme in- 

 terest to the great body of our mem- 

 bership. It is not necessary that com- 

 munications sent to us be long, in fact it 

 is preferred that they should be as con- 

 cise and brief as practicable, and illus- 

 trated whenever possible. Often a 

 member will take or pick up a photo- 

 graph which in itself will tell a story 

 with onlv a line of text.
