washington Is particularly IOrtu'
nate in the number and variety of
winding paths which allow mixers to
wend their way quickly from city to
country, from concrete streets to
primeval forest.
We know a sharp turn off of a busy
street in one of the residence sections,
which leads the pedestrian within one
minute into a tract where not house
10 visible.
There is a road here, too, along
which an automobile may. with some
difficulty, make it's way, if the driver
is careful to avoid the large stones
which are streWn around.
Perhaps it ought to be made plain
that this sylvan spot, where only the
hum of insects and songs of birds are
to he heard, is not on the edge of the
city, but in the proper heart of the
National Capital city of half a
million population.
Nor is it, on the other hand, one Of
the several magnificent private es-
tates which exist within the District
of Columbia. Any one who Knows the
way to get into it may go, ana any
one with car may drive through
with not much risk to his tires after
all.
If you are tired of the ceaseless
noise of the city, the hurry and scurry
of downtown streets. seek out this re-
treat, and walk along by honeysuckle
growing wild along the way. The walk
will be good for your mind as we'll as
for your body.
Timid souls can get all the walking
they want In the paths of the Ma
tional Geological Park. which adjoins
beautiful Rock Creek Park, or. more
properly, is simply a part of the
latter.
The walks of the Zoo have never
been properly appreciated. it seems
to us. The animals, of course, are
the chief attraction of the place. but,
to the hiker, the many winding paths.
maintained in natural beauty, are
paramount.
The fine thing about these paths
Is that they are more or less under
less. for the paths are long and it
is impossible to have uniformed men
scouting up and down all of them
all the time.
The protection is sufficient, how
ever. to enable women and children
to enjoy walking in natural en-,
vironment, with the added thrill of
climbing up and down steep places,
plunging through thickets and get
ting practically all the kick the
more experienced walker gets in the
countryside at large.
Those who have not personally eX-
plored the paths in the Zoo grounds
will be surprised, we believe, at the
mileage covered. Even the seasoned
hiker need not disdain them.
We have friend who walked 80
miles along Zoo paths one Summer
and still did not believe he had Gov
cred every one of them. Some du-
plication was experienced. of course,
but the fact remains that the paths
are long. varied and interesting.
Each one Of them. too. is sufficiently
wild in appearance TO appeal to the
walker, even to the city man or
woman who is not too keen for leaV-
ing all traces of civilization behind.

Do not then, be content with
watching the bears and monkeys the

CONQUEST of the Unknown.

In presenting the medals to the
North Pole flyers last night, at the
ceremonies in this city, President Cool
idge noted the fact that Comdr. Byrd
had but carried out an idea which had
inspired him from his cadet days at
Annapolis, purpose some day to ny
TO the peak OF the world. His
achievement of that Stupendous feat
has been but the elimination of vision
and persistence.

ognition granted by the National Geo

They have accomplished the hitherto
impossible. They have set the course

ding northland. They have demon
strated the success that comes
through careful planning and deep
study and finally courageous perform
ance.
Some there may be who will ask,
even in these hours of national jubila-
ton over the heroic deed performed
by two young Americans: To what
good end is this risk of life addressed?
Two men in an airplane flew for few
hours over the frozen waste to an un-
distinguishable point in the field of ice
and back to their starting place.
What benefit to humanity can such a
performance possibly be?
In terms of commercial advance.
ment. nothing. In terms of political
advantage, nothing. In terms even of
actual knowledge of the physical con.
ditions at the Pole, nothing, beyond
the glimpse of the area from the air
Even so. this flight was worth while,
was a great accomplishment.
Progress consists in search and
struggle after the apparently unat-
tainable and the impossible Stagna-
ton results from measuring the value
OF all human effort in terms of imme-
date financial profit. Efforts to pene-
trate the wells of mystery, to push be-
yond the frontiers of knowledge re-
CARELESS of the worth of the things
that may be found, are but the nat
ural impulses of man. Most Of the
great advantages which the human
family today enjoys, the fruits of me-
chanical and scientific research, have
resulted from satisfaction to this curl
osity. obedience to this spirit of ad-
venture. this Unsuitable desire to go
forward from the basis of the known
TO the unknown.
The National Geographic Society is
devoted to the exploration of the
earth's surface, to the solution of the
mysteries OF remote spaces, to the
penetration of the difficult and the in
accessible regions. Is there a spot
where may be found some fact of in
terest? To that spot it sends an ex-
plorer. Despite the fact that the poles
have been attained, there remains an
Unsuitable curiosity as to the exact
conditions there. Flight to one Of the
poles has now been accomplished,
fight to the other may be attempted
Hint has been given by the latest
wearer of the Hubbard medal that he
will next ego after" that goal. Others
will doubtless make these flights. It
is idle to state that no good can posi-
bly, come from them. It is futile to
attempt to predict the results Of this
research. For the present it is merely
in order to acclaim the performance
and to praise the enterprise of the or
ganization which made this endeavor
possible.

who goes along with the revolution
at a time when everything is carried
by a revolutionary wave, but the true
revolutionist is he, who knows how to
consistently defend the interests OF
the revolution in the most reactionary
surroundings" This holds good es-
pecially to the trade union work OF the
Communists. Under certain histori-
cal conditions the working class is
very likely to be impregnated with
numerous reactionary elements. The
task of the Communists is not to adapt
themselves to such retrograde ele-
ments of the working class, but to
raise the whole working class to the
level of the Communist vanguard! =
Theses of the Second Congress of the
C. /.
The issues now agitating the labor
movement, such as the international
trade union unity movement, the pro-
lection of the foreign-born workers,
the fight for the formation Of a labor
party, International Labor Defense,
etc, must be vigorously pushed for
ward in the trade unions. The whole
trade union movement must be reused
to these issues. In fighting for inter
national trade union unity, for in
stance, it must be shown that this
unity is to embrace not only the
workers of the so-called civilized coun-
tries, but also the colonies, subju
gated and exploited by world imper
ialism. In this connection we de
nounce Imperialism, expose the source
of opportunism in the labor move
ment and unmask the labor bureau
Gratis as agents of imperialism in the

Our influence and strength in The
trade unions will grow just in proper
ton as we show our ability to lead
the whole mass of workers in al
minor struggles.

What form should the educational

Need Of This Work.
The reason why this work must be
carried on is obvious. The league
members must be trained SO that they
can assume all the responsibilities Of

breaking up of the old branches. the
nuclei and the concentration groups
become the onll units where this
training can be obtained with the ex-

cannot meet just like committees,
which is liable to be the result of
neglecting the educational work.

work. 9nLs4
Plainly the educational work is
more interesting if informal discus

Poverty and Filth PIaymates Of
Children.
These children feel the class strug-
gle. Their homes are filthy novels,
huddled one against the other, tipsy
from age and neglect, with refuse lit
tered passages and alleys. Children Of
clothing workers, whose parents and
older brothers and sisters handle
warm woolens all day, are clad
in the thinest Of worn out clothes,
usually handed down from one OF the
older children. Little red hands, and
frost pinched cheeks and noses, hud-
ding shoulders and insuficiently clad
feet, these youngsters know the mean
ing of bad conditions and poor wages.
Is it any wonder then that they are
helping the older workers fight their
strike? It will be only a few years be-
fore those undeveloped bodies will be
fed to the maws of the factories.
