circumstances. Befriended by Chas-
dai's father, he devoted himself to
the study of Hebrew, and the cult
walton of an elegant style of COM
position. A flattering invitation
from Chasdai brought him to Cor
dova, where he played the part of
court poet to Chasdai, at the same
time ardently pursuing the study OF
Hebrew philology, and working on
his magnum opus, Hebrew die
tionary with certain grammatical
rules, in which he greatly improved
upon the work of his predecessors
in that field. In Biblical exegesis,
too, he greatly advanced upon the
labors of Jewish scholars preceding
him. His work was studied in
France and Italy, supplanting the
works of Saadiah, mentioned above,
and the Karaite scholars who had
carried Biblical exegesis to high
state Of perfection. AS poet
Menahem gained no distinction.
Dunash's criticism of his pathological
work, however, was unmerited, and
may have been inspired by envy at
the position Menahem was holding
in the estimation of Chasdai. Other
opponents and critics of Menahem
finally succeeded in turning Chas-
dai against him. After his death,
the fight continued, being carried
on by the disciples of the two mas
tiers.

New York Section To Remain In
National Council.

The New York Section, Council
of Jewish Women, met October II
and by large majority rescinded
the resolution of secession from the
National Council which had been
adopted September 20 by vote
representing only minority of the
sections membership.
There was no discussion at Mon
days meeting of the difference be-
tween the New York Board of Di-
rectors and the National. Instead,
an arbitration committee was ap-
pointed of three representatives
from each side for the discussion
OF questions at issue. Delegates
from the National were dissuaded
by New York members from max
ing statement because of the mis-
understandings involved in news
paper publicity. After the regular
meeting most of the members held
a mass meeting and elected a dele
gate of their own to the committee.

opotamia. Among the presents
brought by the delegation was a
beautiful copy of the Greek medical
treatise by Dios Corides, work
highly priced in its day. AS no one
in Cordova understood Greek, en-
peror Constantine sent a monk who
knew both Greek and Latin, and
with the help of Chasdai the book
was transplanted into Arabic. Adder
Rahman rejoiced to have such valu
able addition to his Kingdoms store
Of learning.
Chasdai maintained his position
under Abder-Rahman successor,
Alhakem II, who was even a more
enlightened ruler than his father, and
whose reign was one Of great peace
and prosperity. What the khalif of
those days was to his subjects at
large, Chasdai was to his brethren
"a patron Of learning, poetry, and
religious activity, and he has been
immortalized in the works and
poems of his grateful proteges, es-
pecially the two greatest of them,
Dunash ben Labrat and Menahem
ben Saruk.
Dunash was the first Hebrew poet
of the Middle Ages who developed
harmony and symmetry, and employ
ed meter and stanza, in his verses,
and generally cultivated an elegant
poetic style. We can best recognize
his merit by comparing his poems
with the liturgical compositions, or
with the didactic and controversial
doggerel of preceding age. The
new poet was also furnished with
greater variety of subjects for the
exercise of his muse. He as we'll
as his disciples, sang the praises of
their patron Chasdai, emu1ating in
that regard the example of Arab
poets, and wrote satires against their
opponents. Liturgical poetry was
not neglected either, but 1t was
henceforth clothed in beautiful
metric lines.
Dunash had originally come from
Bagdad, had lived in Fee, Morocco,
and was invited by Chasdai to Cor
dova. He was in comfortable cir
cumstances, and was, therefore in
dependent of the worlds frowns or
smiles. His knowledge of Hebrew
was very extensive and profound,
and as poet he ranked supreme in
his generation. Among his notable
literary productions was severe
criticism of the exegetical and gram

Why Indians Are Red,

A German doctor has evolved a
queer theory about the coloring of the
human race-that the tint of the skin
is determined by the food eaten.
Originally, he declares, the human
species was black, because our print
tive forefathers subsisted on fruits and
roots containing manganese. The
American redskins owe their color to
the consumption of raw flesh. The
Mongols are yellow because of their
descent from a tribe which consumed
great quantities of herbs rich in
chloride. and the Caucasians have to
thank the salt, for which they have so
great a liking, for their dainty pink and
white or delicate brunette complex.
