THE SPIRIT OF ADVENTURE

Bishop OF Washington.

We cannot believe that the checks
that have been imposed upon US in re-
cent months can do other than Stimu-
late us to a fresh advance. We may
not forget at this time the supreme
place that spiritual ideals occupy in
inspiring the spirit of adventure. The
church of every name has in recent
days felt the check imposed upon It,
not only by worldwide depression,
but by speculations and doubts that in
evitably characterize such a depression.
The spirit of adventure has not been as
marked of late as in former times. 1t
has been hesitant, overcautiouS and too
conservative.
The hour calls for a more pronounced
demonstration Of true leadership. The

resisted and combated q conspiracy of
forces that from the very outset was
bent upon His destruction. This con-
Spiracy ultimately led Him to Calvary,

purpose and design. He has marched

The spirit Of adventure is characters
tic Of human nature. We are ever pro-
jecting ourselves into new scenes; we
quer. The whole progress of the race
has been registered by those who dared
to set forth on uncharted seas in the
quest for new continents wherein their
genius might find its fullest and freeSt
expression. The laboratory has been
the chosen place in which have been
unfolded to the vision of the bold adj
venturer new and wondrous mocha
nisms that have proved of lasting benefit
to their fellows. The man of vision has
ever been the pioneer, and the pioneer
has blazed new trails that have ulti-
mately become highways over which the
race has attained access to broader
fields of useful and extended service.
To assume for a moment that the last
frontier has been attained and that
man is incapable of reaching, through
study and experiment, more advanced
position is to assume that the period Of
stagnation has set in. When we cease
to have the spirit Of adventure, when
ance to larger fields Of occupation and
human service. we have begun the
process Of decline and decay.
The creative periods that have
marked our greatest advance have been
those In which the daring genius of
man has explored hitherto unknown
fields. One Of the most striking as
poets Of this is that these creative pc
RODS have very frequently been those
Of the sternest hardship and misfor-
tune. Some OF the finest literature
in the world has come from the pens
Of those who were actually suffering.

The Alley Closing Bill.

It would be q GROWING feat for the
Seventy-second Congress, which has
done so much for the Identification OF
Washington through the Federal park
and building programs, to enact the
alley elimination bill. Washington's
front yard, so to speak, has been put
through a cleaning-up and improve

desired. The new Office buildings, the
new arrangement of Mall drives, the

Capitol and Union Station, the compile

and It's approaches on this and the
Virginia side of the Potomac. viii bring
added embellishments to an already
beautiful city. and many Of these things
will have been made possible by the
Congress that soon win close It's books.
But the alleys-the hidden back
yard" of Washington-wfl remain, un-
less favorable action can be taken on
the bill that has been presented for
their disposal. Behind the shining
white stone Of new buildings and the
grass and trees and flowers Of new parks

A long time ago q man by the name
Of Pope discovered that to err is human.
At any rate, II he did not make the dis
covery, he was the one to speak about
it in the most widely quoted phrase on
the subject, and the director of an in
formation service can bear witness that
he gave utterance to a profound truth.
To err Is human, and a surprising num-
Der of people who ask questions are de-
cidedly human.
This is by way of saying that many of
those who send in inquiries on various
subjects make it extremely difficult, If
not impossible, for the information bu-
reau to give them the service it is anx-
ious to render, and they do this by max
ing wholly unnecessary mistakes.
These errors are errors both Of omis-
sion and commission. Those in the
first class are wholly inexcusable and
are explainable only on the grounds of
careleSSneSs. For example, out of the
thousands of letters received every week
formidable percentage will bear no
signature, Or no address, or an incom-
plete or insufficient address. Yet each
and every writer of these letters expects
a personal reply. and expects it by re-
turn MALL Moreover, each one will be
ready to make affidavit that his letter
Another error of omission that would
be almost unbelievable were 1t not for

observation-disclosures careleSsness, undue
haste are the only possible explanations
OF this error, but no explanation eases
the trouble that is caused.
Writing That Can't Be Read.
First of the errors Of commission Is
illegible writing. Questions that cannot
be read obviously cannot be answered
and signatures and addresses that are
wholly or partially undecipherable null

deed, 1t is often the fancy penman
who seems to delight particularly in
turning out a signature that def1es
translating, whereas most people whose
penmanship is naturally poor contrive
to make their writing legible.
Much of the troublesome writing that
is received Is due to haste and care
lessness-and perhaps little lack Of
consideration.
Then there is the individual who
complains to his editor that he has
written three times-they invariably
say three-for an answer to question
or booklet and has never received a
reply. Experience indicates that to be
an error Of veracity. 1t is practically
impossible for such a thing to happen
to one person within the period of a
few weeks or months. One letter

much about their getting the ac-
